|author= Miguel Angel Hernandez and Rhett McNeil (translator)
|title= Escape Attempt
|rating= 3.5
|genre= General Fiction
|summary= Immigration and radical contemporary art: the two themes of Miguel Ángel Hernández's ''Escape Attempt'' are debate-provoking even on their own, but brought together into one plot, they fall nothing short of creating a painfully current and ruthlessly polemic novel. The brave choice of subject matter takes the reader on a journey that revolts, angers, and excites: ''Escape Attempt'' is an experience that does not leave the reader untouched, and locks them in a page-turner that cannot be escaped.

|summary= Liz is fat. Not just plump or chubby or, as my director often describes people, ''bubbly'', but full on, capital F fat. It's perhaps one of the frustrations of this book that we never get a number, because she's clearly obsessed with what the scale shows, but won't share that reading.

|title=The Little Shop of Happy Ever After
|rating= 4
|genre= Women's Fiction
|summary= I loved the introduction to this book. It explains that it's a story for readers who love books, and outlines with light humour the places where the author recommends settling down with a good book. I related strongly to the idea of reading in bed, and forgetting who is who as I drop off to sleep; this is my usual mode. Travelling is also, in my experience, an excellent time to read. I don't read in the bath - and the author's description of books drying out on radiators conjured up a depressing image - but I enjoyed all her other suggestions.
