While I would like to offer a massive congratulations to all the authors who have been long-listed, I would also like to do special shout-outs to: AJ Betts, Emily Gale, Will Kostakis, Ellie Marney, Claire Zorn, Trish Doller, David Levithan, Emma Pass and Hilary T. Smith.
Unfortunately I haven't read nearly as many of these as I wish I had (you can click on the green titles to read my review). In fact, many of these have been sitting in my TBR pile patiently waiting for me to shower them with love. I know their time will come. In the meantime, I'd love to hear which ones you love and which ones you are still hanging out to read!
The short-listed titles will be announced sometime in August and the winners will be announced 21st October 2014.
For more information and to see how you can become a judge, you can stay up-to-date over at Inside A Dog.
Congratulations to all the long listed authors. May the best man win. I hope you get to show some love to all the books from your TBR pile.
