I've just found out that Little Monsters was shortlisted by the Waterstones Book Circle as one of its February choices. It didn't win - Chris Cleave did - but it does mean that some branches will pop an extra sticker on the cover, which is no bad thing - rather like Boy Scout badges (I imagine: they wouldn't have me). The book will also be in a special Book Circle bin. Better than that other bin.

In the bin
I've just found out that Little Monsters was shortlisted by the Waterstones Book Circle as one of its February choices.

I am VERY glad it isnt going in the other bin. Congrats Charles... 'Shortlised for the book of the month!' has a ring to it.

So am I, Vanessa!
ReplyDeleteI have read both books and for Cleave's to be picked over yours is a crime against literature.
ReplyDeleteI'm touched, John. Thank you so much. I'm sure literature will survive with you around to defend it!
