fantastic launch.
now I’m crossing my fingers that “Everything Beautiful” makes it onto the shortlist. please please please.
I love the longlist - “If I Stay” and “Paper Towns” are my favourites. Yaaaaaaaay! ^_________^ Also, just to clarify - when you say we can base our work on ANY book, do you mean ANY book? (Okay, that sounds like a dumb question, but just to make sure…)
The book that I want to be on the short list is Hunger Games. PLEASE?
