Anyone waiting for the next round in the ABNA? [View all]

I made it past the pitch stage, again, with the same pitch. Last year I didn't make it past the quarterfinals, when they actually read part of your book, but I got two nice reviews, both of which said they wanted to read more. I'm just hoping to get to the stage where you get a Publishers Weekly review, which is the semifinals. The quarterfinalists will be announced next Tuesday (3/20). Anyone else in this?
