You saw it here first! Here or on Shiny New Books, that is. I reviewed two of the five category winners of the Costa Prize -- Ali Smith's How to Be Both (novel prize) for Shiny, and Kate Saunders' Five Children on the Western Front (children's book prize) on this blog. Shiny also featured Simon Savidge's review of Emma Healey's Elizabeth is Missing (first novel prize) and Hayley Anderton's review of Helen MacDonald's H is for Hawk (biography prize). Are we prescient or what?
