|title=Henry III: The Son of Magna Carta
|rating=4.5
|genre=Biography
|summary= For a monarch whose reign over England of fifty-six years was unequalled until the nineteenth century, Henry III remains curiously little-known. Nobody could claim that he was a particularly outstanding or successful ruler, but the fact that he held his throne for so long in an unstable age was no mean achievement in itself.

|summary= The 21st Jack Reacher novel takes us back in time. Reacher is still an US Army MP. ''In the morning they gave Reacher a medal, and in the afternoon they sent him back to school.'' The medal was a Legion of Merit. Not his first, probably not his last, just another bauble to recognise what he'd done for his country and a plea for him not to talk about it. The 'it' in this case was some police work, in the Balkans, and a couple of shootings. ''Two weeks of his life. Four rounds expended. No big deal.''

|title= The Virgin Mary's Got Nits
|rating= 4.5
|genre= Humour
|summary= Christmas in our house is the time we tend to get on a plane and head to either sun or snow, anywhere that is far, far away from the madness at home, last minute dashes to the shops on Christmas Eve, and food cupboard stockpiles that would imply supermarkets are shutting for a month, nor a mere 36 hours. But I do remember the feeling of Christmas when I was younger, back when it was magical, and back when you knew exactly what the season would bring with carol concerts and school nativities and Christmas parties. This book is an anthology of those moments, and it took me right back to the wonder of Christmas as a child.
