We won't bother you more than once a month, but we'll tell you about what we've been reading at Bookbag and any news from the site. We promise never to pass your details on to anyone else. In fact... we won't even tell each other.
Well, summer is coming and your thoughts are probably turning to holidays - and books to take with you. We're busily reviewing away and we think you'll have plenty to choose from over your 2011 sojourn, wherever you're going. Make sure you have a super and relaxing time whatever you read, but if you're looking for some inspiration, you can check out our reviews of the books on [[Richard and Judy's Summer Reading List 2011|Richard and Judy's Summer Reading List]].
And while we're on the subject of children's literature, the fantabulous Julia Donaldson has been named the new [http://www.childrenslaureate.org.uk Children's Laureate]. Congratulations to her and lucky kids - she's going to be great.
'''Golden Hour'''
This month, we've chosen 1978's Booker prizewinner as the book we recommend you revisit. [[The Sea, The Sea by Iris Murdoch]] is the lyrical tale of a theatrical celebrity who trades the bright lights for solitude by the sea. Magical, insightful and laugh out-loud funny, this is Murdoch at her best. Monstrous and marvellous, ''The Sea, The Sea'' will have you hooked to the last page as you discover whether or not Charles will find what he is looking for.
