|title=The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Sam Hawksmoor
|summary=We loved [[The Repossession by Sam Hawksmoor|The Repossession]], a stunning sci-fi novel for teens, with an exceptionally likeable central pairing and a fast-moving and exciting plot.

|title=February 2012 Newsletter
|summary=Hello, how are you? We've been finding out all sorts of interesting stuff this month. Not long ago Sue was introduced to the work of Scottish Book Trust and was surprised by how little she knew about it and that its work was not restricted to Scotland. We persuaded Beth Bottery to tell us more about the work the Trust does and how schools (and adults) across the UK and the rest of the world can benefit. You can - and should! - read all about it [[Beth Bottery Talks To Bookbag About Scottish Book Trust|here]].
We've also been reading like mad and have all sorts of recommendations to make!

|title=The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Tim Bowler
|summary=Blade is one of Bookbag's favourite series for children ever - and we mean ''ever''. OUP are giving it a reissue with four books in longer instalments rather than the original eight books in very short ones. Whatever the size of the package, this is one series you shouldn't miss. So of course, we jumped at the chance to ask Tim Bowler a few questions.

|title=January 2012 Newsletter
|summary=Hello and a belated ''Happy New Year'' to you all. Did you have a super-duper festive season? Was it busy-busy-busy or laid-back and relaxed? Did you receive nice presents? More importantly, were any of them books?
We're back in the saddle here at Bookbag Towers and we have been reviewing as busily as ever. There's some wonderful stuff around at the moment and you can read about our favourites right here in this newsletter.
Before we go any further, though, we did want to tell you about the Bloomsbury Institute. Have you ever wanted to get a glimpse inside the world of publishing? Rub shoulders with authors and listen to their talks? Well, now you can. Bloomsbury are organising a series of events at their London home in Bedford Square. The first is on 31st January and features two Bookbag favourites, [[:Category:Stephen Kelman|Stephen Kelman]] and [[:Category:Nick Lake|Nick Lake]]. You can find out more - and sign up to attend - by looking at the [http://pages.bloomsbury.com/bloomsburyinstitute website]. What a great initiative!
