A lot of bloggers seem to do regular roundups and it's a good idea, so we are going to aswell. I'm going to do it once every couple of months and see how it goes, just the highlights. This is the first.
Articles:
We covered Short Fuse's "Retox" night in Jan, including Helen Burke and Howard Marks
Early Jan also saw the three way ereader smackdown between Sony Pocket, Kindle & Nook
MangaCat got a bit excited about the new vampire diaries covers
We discussed appropriate behaviour with ARC's
and MC exposed a lack in Leicester's Central Library
On Ravenous Wednesday's C M Kempe covered pen names, Lana Griffin brought Madness & Mayhem, and Inara left us to discuss location between ourselves.
Mark Henry visited and asked us to help Save Amanda Feral
And we started Writers Reading , where we poke around authors bookshelves, which so far has featured: Morgan Mandel, Steven Savile, Mark Charan Newton, Cat Connor, Matt Curran and Stephen Deas.
More Articles here.
Interviews
This year so far we have been delighted to talk with Cat Connor, Debbie Viguie, Dave Devereux and Guy Adams. (Helen's interview will be included in the March/April roundup.

You guys have been productive!
I know, it was a shock to see it all lined up! :)
The list of reviews is massive!
I like roundups, I always find something interesting I managed to miss.
