Hibernian Title-seekers

After a few days spent (rather blissfully) offline, I have returned to my office to discover that the shortlists of nominees for this year’s An Post Irish Book Awards have been announced. There are 17 categories of contenders in total, chosen to represent the best Ireland has to offer in the literary arts. The divisions include these half-dozen nominees for Irish Independent Crime Fiction Book of the Year:

Remember My Name, by Sam Blake (Corvus)
Run Time, by Catherine Ryan Howard (Corvus)
Breaking Point, by Edel Coffey (Sphere)
The Accomplice, by Steve Cavanagh (Orion)
The Interview, by Gill Perdue (Sandycove)
Hide and Seek, by Andrea Mara (Transworld)

Readers are encouraged to vote for their favorites among those six works. To do so, click here. On that same page, you may weigh in as well on non-fiction releases, cookbooks, children’s titles, and other category prize seekers. Only one vote per e-mail address.

Voting in this competition will end on Thursday, November 10, with the winners to be declared on November 23.
