The 2009 Costa Shortlists
The 2009 Costa Prize shortlists are now out, and what everyone’s asking is will Hilary Mantel make it a Booker/Costa double? I can already see that my loyalties will be torn as my new favourite novelist Penelope Lively is up against Ms. Mantel. Costa Novel Award Family Album by Penelope Lively Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel The Elephant Keeper by Christopher Brooklyn by Colm Toibin As for the first novel award, IR

Black Books
I freakin’ love Black Books. For those not in the know, it’s a sitcom starring Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey, and Tamsin Grieg, who are individually brilliant as well as being an excellent ensemble. Channel 4 has prevented people like me from embedding clips from YouTube, so you’ll have to click on this link to see some. But do you know what’s really cool? Yesterday Boyfriend and I were wandering in London, and we ended up here. It’s the shop! The Black Books shop! And it’s really a bookshop too!

Museum of Storytelling
Here’s a good thing. A museum of storytelling in Oxford is getting the go-ahead after an anonymous £2.5m donation. From Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland to JRR Tolkien’s Middle-earth, CS Lewis’s Narnia and the parallel universes of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials, Oxford has played host to some of the UK’s most enduring literary creations. Now a £2.5m donation from an anonymous private benefactor means the first steps have been taken towards the creation of a museum dedicated to storytelling in the city.
