WE KNEW YOU lot liked books, but we didn’t know just HOW much.

Almost 1,500 of you entered our competition over the past 24 hours to win six of the best books shortlisted for this year’s Bord Gáis Energy Irish Book Awards (with almost everyone getting the answer right – the awards will be held on 26 November).

The competition closed at 6pm tonight, and we picked two names out of the hat (well, out of the email inbox) at random.

Each winner will receive all of the books shortlisted for the Best Irish Published Book of the Year, which you can see below.

But that’s enough preamble. The winners are…

Leona Hudson from Dublin 15
KarolAnne Fitzpatrick from Cavan
