Not a lot to report this week but still some big things have happened.
My favourite book award The Man Booker Prize announced it’s longlist. I was literally poised in front of our Mac in anticipation for the announcement. You can read more about it on my post here
and I have actually placed a bet on who I think the winner will be.
Author Phillip Pullman is to be the first patron of Literature Wales. Pullman was appointed to the role as part of Literature Wales ethos to encourage children to create and enjoy literature.
Finally this week saw the midnight release of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. We were away for the midnight release but this was taken by Mel this morning, she hadn’t even left the bookshop before snapping this picture. No doubt this will end up on respective blogs once it’s been read
Mine is here and Mel’s can be found here
