You said it sounded good, so I did it! Here's the first ever This Month in Book News video, covering some news in the book world, hot new book releases, prize news and dates for your diary, and some notable TV and film adaptations.

When I scripted I thought this video was going to be VERY LONG. But it was not, in fact, long at all. I do speak pretty quickly though.

*Correction:* The adaptation of A Gentleman in Moscow stars Ewan McGregor, not Kenneth Branagh!

Huge shout out to @TheDiscoKingOfficial who features in the feelgood story. Go subscribe to his channel and watch the BookTuber quiz here: youtube.com/live/jo-KMWKMlpU

Credit to @SkillUp from whom I liberally borrowed this idea. If you're into video games, his 'This Week in Video Games' videos are excellent, as are all his reviews.
