Voting is now open for the 2012 Inky Awards, and each week Inky's Choice will peek behind the scenes to see what our Inky judging panel loved so much about the shortlisted books.

File 10966Act of Faith by Kelly Gardiner

Danielle Binks: My favourite quote from 'Act of Faith': “No Heaven on this map – no Hell. Just oceans and lands and cities, as if seen by a bird. Or by God. I held the whole world in my hands. I held a heresy in my hands.”... OH MY GOSH! That writing is to-die-for!
Fergus: Yeah, I actually wrote that down
Elizabeth: I started writing down all my favourite quotes but I gave up -- too many!

 

Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler (Art by Maira Kalman) File 10969

Joe: I'm just gonna say this, did "Why we broke up" make some of you cry?
Danielle Binks: Yes. Yes it did.
Elizabeth: Me too!
Nicole: It made me cry at points because I always knew what was going to happen, but when it did, I just stopped and said to myself 'it's over'

Never heard of Daniel Handler? Sure you have - you just probably know him better by his pen name: Lemony Snicket.
