Yippee for Cath Crowley!
So I was going through my daily ritual this morning of reading The Age whilst drinking my delicious chamomile tea and lo and behold there was an article on the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards 2011 and down the bottom of the article they mentioned that Victoria’s very own Cath Crowley won the Ethel Turner Prize for Young People's Literature for Graffiti Moon, congratulations Cath! Here’s what the judges had to say about Graffiti Moon:
Graffiti Moon, by Cath Crowley, and published by Pan Macmillan, is set in contemporary suburbia, and focuses on one memorable and action-packed night in the lives of three teenage friends. It is narrated from the distinctly different perspectives of Lucy, a dreamer who has just finished year 12; Ed, a graffiti artist; and Leo, a poet.
Lucy and Ed, the two apparently oppositional central characters, share their everyday joys and anxieties as well as their innermost thoughts and dreams, while Leo's poems are woven into their narratives. Lucy is obsessed with meeting the elusive Shadow whose graffiti art is everywhere. Ed, who is grieving for a dear friend and desperate to escape his stereotypes, promises to help her find him. Their passion for art inevitably changes their first impressions of each other. In evocative prose, Crowley

I've Received Some Bloggy Awards!
So I’m having a really lazy Saturday night, I’m currently cleaning out my email inbox (which I’ve been meaning to do for ages) and have discovered a couple of lovely people have given me some bloggy awards and I’ve completely forgotten to respond so first off apologies for the late reply but better late than never I guess! Now on to the awards.
I’d like to thank Tina over at Book Couture, The Know-it-all and Cass over at Words on Paper for bestowing this award onto me.
Once again thank you Tina over at Book Couture for giving me this award.
Huge thanks to Jess over at The Tales Compendium for presenting me with this award. When accepting this award I’m supposed to indicate seven things about me however since my previous post, I’ve been tagged, is all about me I’m going to refer you all to that post.
Now I’m supposed to hand over these awards to 15 other bloggers for each award which I plan to do but that’s a lot of bloggers to nominate so I don’t really have the time to decide who to bestow these awards to yet so I’ll have to think about it first and nominate my awardees in another post.
Just before I go I'd like to once again thank everyone who nominated me for an award I really appreciate it I guess I must be doing something right!
