Hello Bookbaggers! How the devil are you? Well, we hope.
The best bit of book news recently comes right after one of the worst news stories for the country generally. Philip Pullman [http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2017-06-27/philip-pullman-set-to-name-character-in-new-book-after-grenfell-tower-victim-following-charity-campaign is set to name] one of the characters in his upcoming novel after a victim of the Grenfell Tower fire. Teacher James Clements pledged £1,500 in memory of his former pupil Nur Huda El-Wahabi, who died in the fire, and hundreds of others added more cash to his bid in the Authors for Grenfell fundraising auction. The whole auction raised £150k. And we don't mind telling you that we shed a few tears over it all. We hope the authorities get their stuff together and show a similar generosity of spirit. We're not holding our breath on the showing so far, sadly.
