Actually,
this news is a bit late, but I read it while abroad..! Anyway, Philip
Pullman is on the shortlist or list for the Booker Award! Which is
the first time a children's author has been put on the list, so well
done Philip Pullman (if you're reading this)!! :D
23/5/01
Philip
Pullman is on the shortlist for the prestigious Carnegie Medal book
award!
Other authors on the shortlist include: David Almond, Melvin Burgess,
Sharon Creech, Jamila Gavin, Adele Geras, Alan Gibbons and Beverly
Naidoo.
The
information below was submitted by Robert J. Eckhart - so all credit
goes to him.
According to www.readerville.com- (see the events page), Philip
Pullman is planning a companion book for the HDM series, and it will
be titled, 'The Book of Dust'. Personally, IMO, I hope he does go
through with this :)

Email for the code
Just like to say
that since the webring has grown a lot more, you're going to
have to email the last person on the list for permission to
join on - so you'll have to keep on clicking the 'next' button
to find that site - sorry :/
If you want, I can
still give you the code - just make sure you check which site
is the last on the list.

His
Dark Materials Book Reviews (by fans)
I
suppose you could put this into fanworks, but never mind. What
I want is for some people to submit a book review on either one
of the books in the trilogy, or the whole trilogy (if you
really want to)! I can't say that I'll choose all of them - for
I will impose a limit on how many can be shown on a page (this
may change), but if you send a review in, it will get shown on
that page. It's basically a page for showing the different views
of readers of the HDM trilogy/ showing our appreciation of them/
giving potential HDM readers an insight into the books - what
you thought of them.
So
if anyone's interested - please send your review in! :D Thanks!
- Kirjava
PS
- Please spellcheck all your reviews, and tell me whether you
want your email address to be shown. If you don't say, I'll assume
you'll want it shown, so you've been warned. Reviews cannot go
like this, "HDM RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" While it's complimentary,
it's a little short ;)
