How EXCITING is this? The prestigious New South Wales Premiers Literary Awards shortlists have been announced. My friend Dianne Bates is on for the Ethel Turner Prize for Young Adult Fiction list with Crossing the Line. Read my review here. Di was kind enough to be my first OZ LIT PROFILE (some would say first victim). Also on the list is another book I've been recommending, Michelle Cooper's A Brief History of Montmaray. Read my review here. And one I bought but have yet to read - the Monster Blood Tattoo series.and the complete YA list for 2009... drum roll...
