Any surviving readers of the blog that previously occupied this space will share my excitement at the announcement of the 2007 Shortlist for the Blooker Prize (the world's first literary prize for blooks, or books based on blogs).
Once again this year the list is really interesting, including:
| In nonfiction "My Secret," from the fascinating PostSecrets.com. |  |
|---|---|
| In fiction "Monster Island," by David Wellington, a delegate of the Internet's lurching trend of zombie-related fiction (www.thirteenbullets.com). |  |
|
In comics, the laconic "Mom's Cancer," by Brian Fies from www.momscancer.com.

The judges, chaired this year by the esteemed Paul Jones of iBiblio and including celebrity blogger Arianna Huffington, have a tough task before them picking an overall winner. What fun.
