New Anthony Horowitz Book

Well, we all know how popular Anthony Horowitz is!  His new book is called The New Sherlock Holmes - The House of Silk.

The original Sherlock Holmes books were written by Conan Doyle, one of the first mystery writers.  Horowitz is now bringing him back to life.

This new book is being released later this year.  Have a look at the book trailer & see what you think.

Nobel Prize for Literature

There are 5 Nobel Prizes, for Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Peace, and Literature.

The Nobel Committee for Literature looks at the nominations for the Literature prize.  They make a recommendation to the Swedish Academy who make the final decision.
The winner receives 10 million Krona, or NZ $1.9 million.  Wow!

Last year the Literature award was won by Mario Vargas Llosa, and no I haven't heard of him either!  Past winners include more familiar names like Doris Lessing, Harold Pinter and Toni Morrison.

The 2011 Nobel Prize for Literature is being awarded on Thursday 6 October.
