I really think this is such a great longlist of excellent books. Looking at it really makes me envy the young readers in the UK. I'm definitely going to try and get more of these books read and reviewed as a bit of a personal challenge. What's the worst that can happen? An attack of imagination? Sign me up!

Also, all the information from here about the longlist, I've nabbed from the official website which can be found here.

Below this cut, is the Kate Greenaway Longlist - and sadly, I've failed to read a single one of the books nominated.  *am sad*

The CILIP Carnegie Nominations - 2010

This looks like such an exciting list! Maybe we institute a Carnegie Reading List and Review for the long list...hmmm...

Having re-read the long list, there are quite a few on here which we have already read and reviewed. I will link to those reviews from home later this weekend and highlight the books on here I have at home which I've not had a chance to read and then promptly read and review them!
