|author=Mary Hoffman and Christina Balit
|title=Queen Guinevere and Other Stories from the Court of King Arthur
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=I always enjoy a story with a feisty heroine, so the prospect of a whole collection of stories telling me about the women behind the men in the Arthurian legends definitely had an appeal to me! Taking Malory's ''Le Morte D'Arthur'' for inspiration, as well as other historical texts depicting the legends, Hoffman tells us her imagining of what it was like to be married to Arthur, the other women connected to Lancelot and Sir Gawain, and ultimately why the fellowship of the round table really fell apart.

|author=Julian Gough and Jim Field
|summary= The Unfriended lays its cards out on the table right from the first page: this is a novel all about feminism. It's going to have those conversations, and it's going to deliver some opinions, and it's not going to apologise for doing so.

|author= Robert Thorogood
|title= The Killing of Polly Carter
|rating= 4
|genre= Crime
|summary=I'm a fan of old-school murder mysteries…think [[:Category:Agatha Christie|Agatha Christie]], think [[:Category:Margery Allingham|Margery Allingham]], Dorothy Sayers… These are stories as games. Usually on the very edge of plausibility, gruesomeness kept to a minimum, police procedure trodden all over in hobnailed enthusiasm of insight and flashes of inspiration. So it follows that I enjoy TV series in the same vein: Midsommer Murders, Poirot… and Death in Paradise. It was because my enjoyment of the series was known that ''The Killing of Polly Carter'' was sent my way.
