![]() ![]() Until, totally out of the blue, the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards shortlists were also announced halfway through the afternoon. ![]() I was about to give a lecture when the news finally came through and felt totally distracted for the rest of the morning. The Sultan’s Eyes, like Act of Faith before it, was on the CBCA Notables list for Older Readers. (The NZ Post Book Awards finalists were released today too!)Įven if you don’t have a book out in that year, you still watch on behalf of friends, publishers, books you loved, and cheer or mope accordingly. It’s the day that the Children’s Book Council of Australia announces first its lists of Notable Books for the year, and later its shortlists for Book of the Year. There is one day of the year when Australian writers and illustrators of children’s and young adult books wake up tense and keep one eye – or possibly two – on social media and mobiles all morning. ![]()
