|title=Mr Birdsnest and the House Next Door
|author=Julia Donaldson and Hannah Shaw
|rating=5
|genre=Dyslexia Friendly
|summary=I love Julia Donaldson's books for younger children. Everyone loves [[The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson|The Gruffalo]] and [[Tyrannosaurus Drip by Julia Donaldson|Tyrannosaurus Drip]] is still one of our favourites, but as the children have grown, these books have been read less frequently. I have to admit, I've missed them. ''Mr Birdsnest and the House Next Door'' gives us a chance to enjoy this brilliant author for just a little while longer. This is fun story, told in the first person, so we never know the name of the main character. We do know she is lively active young girl, perhaps with an active imagination. I would guess her to be about 10 years old with an equally active and inquisitive younger brother named Elmo.

|author=Mike Gayle
|title=Turning Forty
|rating=5
|genre=General Fiction
|summary=I made the mistake of reading Mike Gayle's ''Turning Thirty'' in the weeks before I did so. Despite it being a story of a man whose life fell apart just before his 30th birthday, he still seemed to be doing better than I was, which made it a readable but depressing experience. Fortunately, ''Turning Forty'' is being published about 15 months before I reach that milestone and my life is in a different place which, hopefully, will combine to make it a more enjoyable read.
