Tilly peers into her New Zealand Post Awards crystal ball…
The Read thought it would be fun to ask an eminent bookseller to pre guess the judges’ nominations for the first New Zealand Post Book Awards which will be announced next Tuesday, June 22.
We chose Tilly Lloyd because we were doing the profile of Unity Wellington, and what the heck, it saved money on toll calls.
Ms Lloyd, however, took to her task with High Court gravity. As she had been out of the country on sabbatical during some of the awards period, she consulted with colleagues regarding titles she may have overlooked.
