Another day of life

Well, I thought, what the hell, it can't be that hard to read and review a book in 6 weeks, plus, free book! So I signed up for Blog a Penguin Classic and have been assigned Another Day of Life. Sounds quite serious stuff, but the Amazon reviews are pretty positive (and indicate that it's only 144 pages) so I'm cautiously optimistic. Perhaps when I've read it I'll expand that Wikipedia article as well! It's first come first serve so if you want your freebie, sign up now!

Congratulations

To Phillip Pullman, who has just won the Whitbread award - the first childrens author to do so! A brief word of warning though. The book that won (The Amber Spyglass) is book 3 of a trilogy - to start from the beginning read Northern Lights. They're fantastic books although I think Northern Lights is actually my fave. Check them out :)
