Author Beryl Bainbridge has died, aged 75. I have to confess I haven’t read enough of her prodigious output but what I have read has been most enjoyable, so I will be making the effort to seek out more titles. There’s an excellent Guardian.co.uk obituary here.
The shortlist for the 2010 Text Prize for Young Adult and Children’s Writing has been announced! And it includes two New Zealand authors – Jane Higgins and Philippa Werry. Congratulations and best luck to them!
And a recommendation – Stella Matutina - an awesome book blog by Memory, who has recently moved to Auckland to live for a year. Not only do you get great book reviews but her pleasure at living in Auckland and her enthusiastic descriptions of the joys of our fair city are enough to bring a tear to the eye of the most hardened Auckland heart.
