| | |  J.K.Rowling wins Quill Book Awards
It was previously reported that J.K.Rowling and ' Half-Blood Prince' were nominated for two Quill Book Awards; ' Book of the Year' and best ' Children's chapter book'. Several news sources are reporting that the author won both awards. Quote:
"You've made a sleep-deprived mother very happy," Rowling, mother of a baby girl, said in a videotaped acceptance speech.
Congratulations Jo! UPDATE: Scholastic has issued a press release with the following new quote from JK: Quote:
"I am thrilled and honored beyond words to receive the first-ever Quill Book of the Year Award. I am still not used to the idea that so many people across the world are intimately familiar with the characters who, for so long, I alone knew. Awards like this, where readers themselves vote, are therefore especially meaningful to me."

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
