Hi there. How is everything your way? Good, we hope. Summer is over. The children are going back to school. Jill's oldest son is heading off to university, as is Bookbag reviewer Nigethan. We hope all goes well for them both - and Jill hasn't shed a single tear at the loss of her oldest, honest!
As the evenings begin to draw in, you may be in need of some satisfying reading material. Read on for some recommendations. And don't forget that the [http://www.thebookbag.co.uk/reviews/index.php?title=Man_Booker_Prize_2013 Man Booker Prize 2013|Booker shortlist] is out. Who will win? We have a sneaky feeling Eleanor Catton's [[The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton|The Luminaries]] will take it. We've reviewed the entire long list though - never let it be said we leave you wanting more!
Since we last wrote, there have been two very big losses to the world of writing. Rest in peace, Elmore Leonard, darling of Hollywood and king of crime. And rest in peace, Seamus Heaney, perhaps the greatest poet of the late twentieth century and almost certainly the most famous. We will miss you both terribly.
