== March's News from Bookbag Towers ==
Greetings, fellow booklings. How goes your literary life at the moment? Our cup is overflowing with the great fortune of good books and we've chosen our favourites for March in the Book of the Month section below. Sue has been allowed to take a break from reading, but only so that she could attend a an event for, you guessed it, book bloggers event. We can't just let her out willy nilly you know - what if she didn't come back? Anyway, a great time was had by all and you can read about it at the Guardian's book blog [http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2011/feb/21/writers-met-bloggers-lunch here], courtesy of the charming Chris Cleaves.
We've also been beavering about making improvements to the site. The latest addition is the facility to embed videos, so if a book has a trailer or the author's been interviewed about it, you can watch it right from the review page. Cool, huh?
We've also been chasing authors down and interviewing them without mercy!
We're great admirers of Giles Milton. He writes great [[According to Arnold: A Novel of Love and Mushrooms by Giles Milton|fiction]], wonderful [[Zebedee's Zoo by Giles Milton and Katharine McEwen|children's books]] and we've just enjoyed his latest [[Wolfram: The Boy Who Went To War by Giles Milton|history book]]. The chance to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Giles Milton |talk to him]] was just too good to miss. We loved Alma Katsu's novel [[The Taker by Alma Katsu|The Taker]] and couldn't resist the opportunity to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Alma Katsu|ask her]] how she produced something quite so stunning. And of course, we also loved [[The Demon Collector by Jon Mayhew]], his follow-up to [[Mortlock by Jon Mayhew|Mortlock]], so we couldn't resist the opportunity to ask him some [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Jon Mayhew|questions]] either. And if that wasn't enough, we have also talked to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Harry Leslie Smith|Harry Leslie Smith]] about the remarkable first volume of his autobiography [[1923: A Memoir by Harry Leslie Smith|1923: A Memoir]], to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Michael Dhillon|Michael Dillon]] about the unusual plot and pace in [[The Cuckoo Parchment and the Dyke by Michael Dhillon|The Cuckoo Parchment and the Dyke]], and to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Judy Bartkowiak|Judy Bartkowiak]] about her life as an NLP master practioner and author.
