Lulu Blooker Prize shortlist announced

Friend of Trashionista, Rebecca Agiewich's book BreakupBabe is one of the fiction nominees of this year's Lulu Blooker Prize. The Blooker Prize was created to honour books based on blogs and last year was won by Julie Powell's Julie & Julia. Julie is one of the judges this year (along with Arianna Huffington, amongst others).

Thanks to the shortlist, I've just learned a new word: flicktion. Andrew Losowsky's book (and blog) The Doorbells of Florence contains photographs of 36 real Italian doorbells, "each one with a strange story about the people and things that may, or may not, live inside". What a brilliant idea.
