It's that time of year again. The long list has been announced and as usual, I'm posting it here, thinking: I own to many of these books, I really must get round to reading them all. And then I FAIL horribly.

The titles I've put in italics are books that both Sarah and I have - some we have reviewed - yay! - but most of them we haven't.
However - I know that the majority of these have been read and reviewed by fellow bloggers so I'm pretty sure if you google the reviews, you'll find them. I think this makes a VERY strong Christmas shopping list for a hungry reader. There are superb titles on here - right through from fantasy to contemporary, crime, relationships, dystopia - the works. What a super list. I am really looking forward to seeing what they do with the shortlisting.
And now for the Kate Greenaway list!

Equally a fantastic list - I am sad thought that I only have 2 from here...however! It means I get to buy in loads, read them, and pass them onto the god-daughters for Christmas. And erm, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
This is the official site, where you can read more about these two superb prizes. Happy reading, readerly creatures!
