Yes, a whole year has gone by since four blogging friends stuck their collective toes in the water of internet magazine publishing with the first edition of Shiny New Books. And today we present you with issue 5, with its usual exciting compendium of reviews of newly published Fiction, Non-fiction and Reprints. There's also an absolute bumper of a BookBuzz section, with interviews (including two Shiny New Authors), Author Articles, Spotlight on Publishing, Reading and Watching, and two x Five Fascinating Facts. And there's a new Book Club to join. We've loved putting it together, and of course are grateful to our wonderful reviewers, to the publishers who generously send us books, and most of all to you lot out there who've kept coming back, reading and commenting. I'll be tempting you with links to reviews over the coming days, but meanwhile, plunge in and enjoy!
