I just wanted to tell you ...What a great selection! I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your book choice from the library shown in your post.<BR/><BR/>My wife and have four children seven and under so we clean-out the local library weekly. As I publish a number of literary award sites around the world, we always aim for award winners too. You have picked-out some gorgeous titles.<BR/><BR/> I am envious that you found the Melanie Watts titles as she regularly picks up awards in her native Canada but I haven't seen her books much here in Australia. I know our little ones would love them. <BR/><BR/><I>A Fraction of the Whole</I> and <I>White Tiger</I> are both on my 'to read' having been short listed for the Booker and <I>Netherlands</I> has been well reviewed and will have it's day in the sun. Currently reading The <I>Wondrous Life of Oscar Diaz</I>, So many great books, such little time!<BR/><BR/>Anyway- time to read bed time stories....<BR/><BR/>regards Kevin Parker 'aka' Book Award TragicKevin Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217050641577282694noreply@blogger.com
