1. Guardian blog: The great chick-lit cover up
2. The Prime Minister's Literary Awards keep sending out press releases designed to make us excited about the soon-to-be-announced shortlist but with too long a lead-time between press release and announcement, it just frustrates in that kind of 'i've got a secret and i'm not going to tell you' way. Still, I'm looking forward to the announcement this Wednesday: the awards hold such massive promise.
3. Writer-editor fighting over at The Times, leaked to The Guardian: Giles Coren gets heated about the removal of "a", and the sub-editors' reply, thanks to MMW.

Oh blast, you have pipped me with the cover story. A good post, that.
I do feel for that man who had beaches on every title :-(

I wonder if anyone's done chick-lit Thomas Mann yet. Beaches + Buddenbrooks?
