Awesome!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thanks for sharing! So many of those books are on my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for Anna and the French Kiss! I hope it wins :)
Whoa, great lists! I'm interested to see who wins this year. :)
ReplyDeleteAhh I love the inky's. They make me wish i was young enough to vote :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping GOLD goes to Good Oil, Graffiti Moon or Black Painted Fingernails, but mostly Graffiti Moon!
SILVER I'd be happy with Dash and Lily, Where She Went or Anna and the French Kiss. Loved them all.
GO GOOD OIL! I love that book crazy amounts <3
ReplyDeletewe really do have great taste :) excited about so many of those books, though i haven't read a lot of them.
ReplyDeletei must admit that i wasn't a fan of shiver, which won the silver inky last year.
ohh you've given me lots of books to check out.
ReplyDeleteI loved Good oil and Graffiti moon so much i'm glad they got the Gold inky :)
That list is awesome. YAY for Graffiti Moon, Good Oil and Graffiti Moon. Although I think Graffiti Moon is going to win The Golden Inky. It is just too awesome not to.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope Where She Went wins The Silver Inky.
Still patiently awaiting Graffiti Moon's release in the slow moving Aussie release in the US, but I like several of the books on the Silver list. Our Twain and Truman awards in my home state are nominated by students, teachers, and librarians, but the winners are chosen by students only. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteOh there are some great ones on this list! I still need to read If I Stay/Where She Went and Graffiti Moon, I'm a blogger failure that I haven't read those yet! And any mention of Anna and the French Kiss just makes me smile:)
ReplyDeleteNo and Me made the longlist! Hope it goes all the way :)
ReplyDeleteI don't even think I've heard of any of the Aussie ones, which makes me sad, because you guys seem to have really awesome books.
ReplyDeleteYay for 'Where She Went' and 'Anna'! I love the 'Agency' books as well.
Wow, there IS a lot of variety! I just wish I'd read more of these - although I'm hoping to get into Good Oil soon!
ReplyDeleteAh, comment fail! It entered before I was finished typing :(
ReplyDeleteI was going to say: and YAY! Anna and the French Kiss! I loved that book so so so much <3
Ooh! They've got a great list!
ReplyDeleteI hope the Gold goes to Graffiti Moon. Or Good Oil - that was fun as well. I wasn't a fan of Black Painted Fingernails, and I'm about to start All I Ever Wanted and This Is Shyness.
And I'd really like Silver to go to Dash & Lily. Such a hilarious book!
I stopped by your blog today.

What awesome titles. I haven't read any for the golden award although I have several on my TBR list. Just can't get my hands on them. Crossing my fingers for Anna. Also kind of curious - some of these were published a couple years ago. Like Marcelo was pubbed in 2009. Is this award not limited to books published within that year? Or are they on the list because they were only released in Australia that year?
