Got an email from Randy Hoyt – Harry Potter has won this year’s Mythopoeic Society Fantasy Award for Children’s Literature. It was announced this past weekend at MythCon 39.
A well-deserved win for Potter.

It is a well deserved win. And I keep getting reminded that I need to resubscribe to The Mythopoeic Society. I was a member in the late 80’s to early 90’s. Then between seminary & vicarage & moving to my first church, I gave up a lot of subscriptions. Time to renew some of those.
That is great news. According to TLC, Rowling is also on the list of 50 favorite authors (coming in at #3). It’s quite a nice list, actually.
Both honors/awards are well deserved.

I saw that list of authors, too. Pretty good company for Jo.
I also notice that Philip Pullman didn’t make the list.
I believe it was for the whole series, right? A well deserved win for J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter.
