We launched our Amazing Toys this past week, and it feels bittersweet to see it live. It was a great year for products and most came in at really impressive price points. Check out our top picks for this year's best:</p>

I hope you aren't too surprised to arrive here and see no journal entries.&nbsp;</p>
<p>After much thought, I have decided that my website should be a place where kids can find out more about me and my books in a kid-friendly fashion.</p>
<p>I'm in the midst of wrapping up my eighth annual Amazing Toy Awards for BabyZone.com and Kaboose.com. Sadly, this will probably be my last year working on this project.</p>
<p>I've been working on a YA novel now for almost a year, and I'm really excited about focussing my energies back on what I love most - writing for kids. I also have a new picture book manuscript that I'm hoping to shop around in 2010.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I will continue to work on this space as I can while I finish the Toy Awards, but I do plan on revamping and revisiting once I'm done!</p>
<p>Thanks for sticking with me and my inconsistent blogging!</p>
<p>With love,</p>
<p>Shari</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.sharibecker.com/whats-new/rss-comments-entry-5264958.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
