We are all anxiously awaiting word.... who will win the CBI Book of the Year Awards 2013. Fortunately, we don't have much longer.... the announcement of the most prestigious book awards for excellence in children's literature will be announced tomorrow!
Before we go any further, here's a quick reminder of the shortlist:

These wonderful books are competing for The Book of the Year Award, The Eilís Dillon Award for a first time author or illustrator, Honour Awards for Fiction and Illustration as well as a Judge’s Special Award. And let's not forget my favourite... the Children's Choice Award; an innovative award is chosen by ten junior juries, specially selected throughout Ireland. All have been reading, debating and considering each book on the shortlist for selection of this award.
Personally, I will be on pins and needles until I hear! The very best of luck to all!
