|title=Star Wars Art of Colouring The Force Awakens
|rating=4.5
|genre=Crafts
|summary=Without giving any spoilers away, the end of ''The Force Awakens'' sees a character and their peace interrupted. While said person probably has The Force to give them some restful ease, you never know what else they used. They may, for one, have dabbled in colouring-in books, and their much-lauded effect on the mind – that of calming it, and providing a meditative, simple yet creative task for it. Whether that is the case or not, there are books set in the ''Star Wars'' universe for people to join in in that way – and this is the best I've seen.

|author=Chris Packham and Jason Cockcroft
|summary= Colgan has a diverse portfolio of chick lit (and she also writes Dr Who novels) under her belt but starting with [[Meet me at the Cupcake Café]] in 2011, she has established herself as one of the queens of the chick-lit subgenre of '''comedy romance with food''', the Queen of Hearts and the queen of fruit tarts, to an obvious benefit of her popularity and presumably her bank balance and to the sound of satisfied ahhhhs and mmmms from her growing fanbase. As you can see I do miss the Old Jenny a little bit, the brasher and swearier characters and the much more cutting humour. But. There is something to be said for a well written feelgood novel and I did enjoy the sweetshop, the café, the bakery and now the ''Summer Seaside Kitchen'' which has all the tried, tested and well loved ingredients of a perfectly escapist, mostly but not totally predictable chick-lit romance with a foodie angle that Jenny Colgan has made something of her house special.
