If you'd like to sign up for our monthly newsletter, just drop us [mailto:subscribe@thebookbag.co.uk an email]. We won't bother you more than once a month, but we'll tell you about what we've been reading at Bookbag and any news from the site. We promise never to pass your details on to anyone else. In fact... we won't even tell each other.
The eagle-eyed amongst you might have spotted that there was no December newsletter. This January edition is a bumper double issue - which is to say we were all utterly swamped in the run-up to Christmas here at Bookbag Towers, and something had to fall by the wayside. Apologies. Did you miss us?
We have some great [[Features|features]] for you again this month, including an interview with [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Gary Blackwood|Gary Blackwood]]. Keith fell in love with his [[Mysterious Messages - A History of Codes and Ciphers by Gary Blackwood|Mysterious Messages - A History of Codes and Ciphers]] and couldn't resist the opportunity to ask him a few questions. Keep an eye out for a review of We also read and loved Gary's equally excellent ''[[The Great Race: The Amazing Round-The-World Auto Race Of 1908 by Gary Blackwood|The Great Race'' appearing on Bookbag soon]].
Over November and December, our most read new review was [[100 Facts About Pandas by David O'Doherty, Claudia O'Doherty and Mike Ahern]], an enjoyable stocking filler with a quirky sense of humour. Did you know that ''All pandas are born female. They will only turn male if they get a fright within their first 48 hours of life. It is for this reason that zoos with a high female bear population often employ a panda spooker to surprise newborn girls into manhood''?
