To check out more info on the National Book Award, including past years' winners, head over to the National Book Foundation's website. Last year, What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell won the 2008 NBA, a fabulous book that I probably would have never heard of if it hadn't been nominated.
The winner will be announced on Wednesday, November 18th!
