I’ve read and listened to more of those than I’d have imagined. I hope The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart wins, I loved that book. And Eggshell Skull for biographies. And The Trauma Cleaner for audio books.

The ABIAs are such accessible awards, compared to many other literary ones. There are some categories here that have multiple favourites of mine in there. I don’t know who to back! 😁

Yes general fiction I’ve read 4/5 though one of them, that everyone has lived, I just thought was OK.

I’ve read all in the general fiction – all are deserving of a win.

What an incredible list this year!!!! 😍 I really hope Allison Whittaker (Blakwork) and Bri Lee (Eggshell Skull) get a gong, both highly deserving and wonderful Australian women writers. I’d *hate* to be charged with choosing from the General Non-Fic shortlist – they’re ALL. TOO. GOOD.

Gosh, I’ve not read any of those but I’d like to give them all a go as they all sound and look quite good except for The Michelle Obama and Clementine Ford books – can’t stand both those women.
