2013 Aurealis Awards

Ooh, ooh, ooh, the list of Aurealis Awards finalists is out - and, yes, I know it came out about a week ago but, you know, life. I always love this list because it gives me a whole new lot of books to read that I might otherwise have missed out on. I've read some of the works shortlisted - Juliet Marillier's short story By Bone-light (in Prickle Moon, a collection of short stories by her published by Ticonderoga Publications) and one of my favourite reads in that collection, Lee Battersby's horror novel The Marching Dead (Angry Robot) and the anthology Dreaming of Djinn edited by Liz Grzyb (Ticonderoga Publications) - and thoroughly enjoyed them so I'll be looking for the others as well.
