  1. Yes! Patrick ness gets a hattrick nomination in the 'knife of never letting go' series. I hoped that would happen and i want him to win this year. I also guessed pepper roux and prisoner of the inquistion but the other books i didn't. i really wanted iboy- Kevin brooks to be in the shortlist. oh well , he's a brilliant writer so im sure he will be nominated another year.
