Wide Sargasso Sea

I mentioned to my father that I had had a conversation about this book on my weekend in Melbourne. Of course he has a copy, so leant it to me. I am looking forward to reading it and learning more about the woman in the attic.

I'll let you know what I think Susan and Kelly!

Prime Minister's Literary Awards

Arts Minister Peter Garrett has announced the judges for Australia’s richest book prize, the 2010 Prime Minister’s Literary Awards. The prize pool is $400,000! 324 entries have been made, including 70 fiction, 109 non-fiction, 45 young adult and 100 children’s entries. I love a good book prize!

Shortlists won't be announced until later in the year, so we may have to wait a while to see who wins.
