|author=Nicola Davies and Emily Sutton

|title= Lots – The Diversity of Life on Earth

|rating=5

|genre=Children's Non-Fiction

|summary= How many different kinds of living things are there on Earth? Lots…that's how many. Children will learn lots and lots from this wonderful book. I learned lots from it too. There are 100,000 different kinds of mushrooms. Who knew? Well I certainly didn't. This is one of those special books with cross-over appeal. Tiny children will adore the illustrations, slightly older ones will learn fascinating facts and readers of any age will be moved by the message that we need to take better care of our beautiful environment.

|summary= If you think that ''un-put-down-able'' is the greatest accolade for a book, think again. ''Put-down-able'' can be stronger praise: ''His Whole Life'' is put-down-able. It encourages you to put it down, to wrap yourself in the slow-moving story, the exquisite writing, the subtleties of the characters, and just walk around for a while with them slowly sinking in; it encourages you to come back to it again and again; mostly it encourages you to put it down, to read it slowly, because you don't want it to end.

~~|author=Karen Mordechai~~

~~|title=Simple Fare: Spring and Summer~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Cookery~~

|summary=Karen Mordechai's family history has its roots in the Jerusalem of the 1950s, when people from around the globe were coming together in a young country and forming their own way of living. When the family then emigrated to the United States they brought this way of cooking with them, along with the tradition of sharing and enjoying food. Mordechai believes that food's ability to bring people together is unparalleled and that the food you make is a compilation of the way you have lived. Thinking back over the food we eat, that is so true and for the first time I looked on a recipe book as an elegant way of seeing someone else's history.
