You'll remember that we chose our [[Top Ten Self-Published Books 2013|top ten self-published books]] of last year a couple of months ago. Well, now we can share our excitement that one of them has been picked up for a traditional publishing contract. How great is that? [[Burden of the Desert by Justin Huggler]] is a story about the men, women and children in post-Saddam Iraq as well as those trying to project their voices and protect their lives. And it really is great. You can read our interview with Justin [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Justin Huggler|here]] and you can even win a copy of the book if you enter our [[Burden of the Desert by Justin Huggler|competition]]. Congratualations to Justin from all at Bookbag Towers.
A couple of news articles have grabbed our notice recently. JK Rowling says that [http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/feb/02/jk-rowling-hermione-harry-ron-married Hermione should have married Harry Potter, not Ron Weasley]. No! We thought she had it right. What do you think? And author Lemony Snicket has launched a prize for librarians [http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/jan/31/lemony-snicket-prize-librarians-book-bans|librarians who face adversity]. Good for him, say us. Books should ''never'' be banned.
