Well, we've been at it again. Adding stuff. The chocolate rush over Easter got us all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and we decided to go mobile. So, you can now receive the choicest Bookbag morsels direct to your mobile phone. If you're away from the computer, or if you're in a bookshop and spoiled for choice, you can use our updates to choose a good book to read. All you need to do is text '''BOOKS2U''' for adults or '''KIDBOOKS2U''' for children to '''63336''' to subscribe. It costs 25p per text, and you can read all about it [[BOOKS2U and KIDBOOKS2U text alerts|here]]. We'll be trying out different formats for texts and would love some feedback on which you prefer, so if you sign up, do [mailto:sue@thebookbag.co.uk email] us to let us know what you think.
