By Agnieszka Ramian All enthusiasts of the hit TV series Bones, all those familiar with Kathy Reichs novels, everyone who fell for the forensic sciences heroine, either on the screen or through book’s pages - Dr Temperance Brennan, and finally – whoever particularly enjoys the literature of crime and investigation that takes from the science to resolve the most mysterious cases, gather at once to hear the news!

By Agnieszka Ramian Many hearts stopped after a beloved author announced that he no longer was able to attend an upcoming The Discworld Convention 2014 (jump to this news) where he was meant to be a guest of honour.

By Agnieszka Ramian September is almost here and along with it the much awaited release of the first continuation novel to Agatha’s Christie famous work. Being the well-established author that Christie was, with detective crime novels that conquered the literary stage of the whole world, some strong responses from the Queen of Crime's dedicated fans was inevitable. The announcement of appointing a successor to Agatha’s legacy – Sophie Hannah - caused much stir in the social circles of Poirot’s enthusiasts. As a result, with September the 8th being the date of release revealed to the public, the fast approaching reception of the release of ‘The Brand New Hercule Poirot Mystery’ remains uncertain.

This shows that he is serious about his passion for books and reading, as he often gives up his own time and money to promote all things literature. by Hayley Charlesworth The longlist for one of literature's most prestigious prizes, the Man Booker Prize for Fiction, has just been announced, and 2014 is a historic year.
