Today is the last day to vote for A Monster Calls for the Galaxy National Book Awards Book of the Year.  It's for UK and Irish residents, and you can do it here.  Come on, let's take down Dawn French!

A Monster Calls was also in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend as one of their Best Books of 2011, which is really cool.

Greetings to the new commenters, and just to say that movies take a long time and I promise that when there's any news (including any chances to audition), I'll shout it here and on twitter (@patrick_ness).
