So taking into account yesterday's lj post...

THE STORY OF OWEN has been selected as one of the nominees for the new Kirkus Prize. Out of all the starred reviews Kirkus did this year, they picked 2 picture books, 2 Middle Grades, and 2 YA. The other YA book is non-fiction.

I'm still kind of in shock.

EEEEEE!

That gif of Graham McTavish is from the greatest interview I've ever seen. Later, he makes a disappointed face that I would LOVE to have a gif of, but have never found.

(He answers his own trivia question incorrectly, and then tries to hide in his jumper. A.DOR.A.BLE.)

(This gif is after Adam Brown answer HIS question incorrectly. Aidan Turner stages whispers "GLAMDRING!" really loudly, and Brown is all "Ga...ladriel?" and then Aidan and Dean tacklehug him, and everyone else just loses their shit. It was great.)

I have seen the interview. It is definitely the BEST ONE EVER. They are just as adorakable in person. It's so weird watching Graham play Dougal on Outlander, because he's a right bastard most of the time and Graham is just so SWEET.

Okay, that would explain why I've never heard of the other YA book, I did wonder.
