November 17-21 was Anti-Bullying week here in the UK. And we were really happy to see the world of books get involved. Penguin launched a campaign called Choose Kind that ties in with the gorgeous [[Wonder by R J Palacio]], a book about a disfigured young boy attending school for the first time. We at Bookbag are all for anything that tries to inspire all people to be a little bit kinder to each other and so we'd like to add our voice to the chorus asking everyone to #choosekind.
We've been busy choosing our favourite books of 2014. You should take a look and see if you agree! There's something for everyone there - what do you think of our choices in [[http://www.thebookbag.co.uk/reviews/index.php?title=Top_Ten_Crime_Novels_of_2014Top Ten Crime Novels of 2014|crime fiction]] or [[http://www.thebookbag.co.uk/reviews/index.php?title=Top_Ten_Teen_Books_of_2014Top Ten Teen Books of 2014|teen fiction]] or [[http://www.thebookbag.co.uk/reviews/index.php?title=Top_Ten_Autobiographies_2014Top Ten Autobiographies 2014|autobiographies]] ? There are plenty more lists in other genres, too. Take a look at our [[:Category:Lists|lists]] page. You might find it helpful when you're doing your Christmas shopping. It's not too early to say the dreaded word "Christmas", is it?!
If you're a parent or a teacher of children with dyslexia or reading difficulties, you might want to take a look at ''Dive In: A Guide to Choosing Children’s Books for Reluctant Readers and Readers With Dyslexia''. It lists 40 different titles, all suitable for children with reading difficulties and it's a joint enterprise from publisher Barrington Stoke and charity Dyslexia Action. It's fabulous and it's free. You can read all about it [http://www.thebookseller.com/news/barrington-stoke-book-guide-kids-dyslexia here].
