'''Golden Hour'''
This month, we're going for a book which, if we're honest, isn't ''that'' good. However, it did kick off one of the most popular crime series of modern times - Ian Rankin's Rebus sequence. Yep - it's [[Knots And Crosses by Ian Rankin|Knots and Crosses]]. We wonder if Ian Rankin realised what a success his tortured detective would become way back in 1987.?
'''Books of the Month'''
For teenagers, Robert has chosen [[A Beautiful Lie by Irfan Master]]. Bilal's father is already dying, but Bilal at least wants to spare him a broken heart. So begins a memorable and enchanting tale of a young boy and his friends determined to stop the truth about the Partition of India reaching a terminally ill man. This novel manages to be utterly charming and seriously exciting at the same time.
