Nah, I'm just cut they've cut it. The latest newsletter went out and there were THREE huge lists of awesome books in it. The Readings Children's Prize, The CBCA Notables list and the Gold and Silver Inky Awards Longlist. Phew! Plus all the usual list of launches and events and authory things. Honestly, this newsletter is packed with great stuff.   Ahhhhh. This feels good. Latest issue here.
