Today requires some celebrating!

The 2012 Printz award was announced today – congratulations to John Corey Whaley for his book Where Things Come Back – along with a few notable (Australian) mentions-

Christine Hinwood (The Returning, also known as Bloodflower here in little ole Aus)

and Craig Silvey (Jasper Jones)

-made up part of the 2012 Honor Books winners.

Honor, honour?! Who cares how they spell it! They still have great taste.

Not to mention an honouree mention for the Stonewall Book Award-

Lili Wilkinson (for her work in Pink).

Just as a freaky fact: they’re all Allen & Unwin books.
