Congratulations to all the nominees and Notables. While I have only read three of the six nominees, I sincerely hope that Graffiti Moon takes the award.

ReplyDeletewhat happened to the longlist this year?
I know I am so happy! And out of the three I have read, all of them were among my fave books last year :D
ReplyDeleteI have The Life of a Teenage Body Snatcher sitting here so I might have to pick that up.
I was wondering the same thing about the longlist but now thinking back, do they usually do a longlist or is the Notables their version of one? :S
