|author=Jenny Colgan
|title=The Christmas Surprise
|rating=4
|genre=Women's Fiction
|summary=I do like Jenny Colgan’s books. At least, that’s my impression although I’m surprised to discover that I had only previously read two of them. Her titles seem to feature food-related topics, and this particular one is third in a series about a young woman called Rosie Hopkins. She lives in a small village in Derbyshire with her boyfriend Stephen, and runs a sweet shop.

|title=The Man Who Loved Dogs
|summary=I'm quite picky with crime fiction. This oversaturated market seems to teem with mediocre products. There are thrillers with excellent plots that are are badly written, some that contain masterful prose but are, well... boring, and others that are so far-fetched that I end up throwing the book away in disgust. I read Jane Casey′s highly enjoyable stand-alone [[The Missing by Jane Casey|The Missing]] several years ago. ''The Kill'' was my first foray into her Maeve Kerrigan series and I was keen to see how it would stand up.

|author=Kristina Stephenson
|title=Sir Charlie Stinky Socks: The Pirate's Curse
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Sir Charlie Stinky Socks: the Pirate's Curse passed the grandchild test. The oldest granddaughter, aged 7, chose it for the teatime read as she'd already enjoyed another in this series. She took the lead in turning the pages, opening the giant flaps and pointing out details of the plot and jokes. The varied typefaces and sizes made it easy for her beginner reader brother to join in and the lively story line frequently attracted the attention of the third child who was sitting on the other side of the table absorbed in a project of her own.
