Today, the 114 long nominations list for the CILIP Carnegie Medal 2017 was announced (along with the Kate Greenaway nominations which is for picture books). This list consists of nominations from CILIP members (librarians mostly) and there is huge variety on them. In a few months, an official longlist is announced: the judges draw on that from the nominations list. This list is usually much tighter in how it applies the judging criteria. And then, a shortlist of about six or seven books is selected: often, you're splitting hairs between them.
All in all, there are fabulous books in here and it's often one of my go-to's for book-buying.
This year, there should be something mighty special planned as well: it's the Carnegie's 80th anniversary, so it'll enter the realm of octogenarians! Woo.
So here's that nominations list. Where shall I start?
