We're quite excited about the features section this month - we're introducing a guest post section, in which authors ruminate about a topic of their choice. In the first article Annabel Pitcher, writer of the wonderful [[My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece by Annabel Pitcher|My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece]], gives us a wonderful line-up for a [[Annabel Pitcher tells us about her ideal dinner party guests| literary dinner party]]. Thanks, Annabel! Do keep an eye on this section because this is the first of many guest posts we'll be hosting. Feel free to hit the comments button, too!
We've also been interviewing busily, as usual. Malcolm Fawbert has just published his [[Tales from Thimble Hall: Mrs Stopper's Bottle by Malcolm Fawbert|first children's book]] whilst under the name of Asa Jones he's brought out his [[The Illustrated Mind of Mike Reeves by Asa Jones|first novel for adults]]. We couldn't resist the opportunity to get both his alter egos into one room and [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Malcolm Fawbert and Asa Jones |ask them]] a few questions!
Victoria L Thompson's [[Midnight Mischief by Victoria L Thompson and Ben The Illustrator|Midnight Mischief]] is a fun romp through space, to rescue Pluto from those pesky aliens. It's got strong rhymes throughout and engaging illustrations. We couldn't wait to [[The Interview: Bookbag talks to Victoria L Thompson|interview]] Victoria!
We loved [[Take Me Home: Tales of Battersea Dogs by Melissa Wareham]], her stories of what life in Battersea Dogs is really like, especially adapted for children. Dogs are close to Sue's heart as all you regular Bookbaggers will know, and unsurprisingly, it's Sue who [[The Interview: Bookbag talks to Melissa Wareham|put the questions]] to Melissa.
