The 2013 Queensland Literary Award Shortlists...

Corner of white...have been announced.

The YA contenders are:

A Corner of White, by Jaclyn Moriarty

Voyage of the Unquiet Ice, by Andrew McGahan

The Convent, by Maureen McCarthy

Friday Brown, by Vicki Wakefield

Wildlife, by Fiona Wood

Interesting that the artwork seems to skew older than in the States; judging by covers alone, I'd have guessed that at least three of the five were adult titles.
