On the "Read Alert" weblog, the winners of the Inky Awards have been announced.

The Inky awards are readers' choice awards, organised by the State Library of Victoria, where voters must be under the age of 25. The Golden Inky is awarded to an Australian book, and the Silver to a book from an international writer. Indications are that this will now become an annual event.
