|author=Claudia Boldt and Eleanor Meredith
|title=Think and Make Like an Artist
|rating=4.5
|genre=Children's Non-Fiction
|summary=Having been banned from the Tate Modern by my partner for making too many snarky remarks, I am not sure that I ever want to think or make like an artist. My unartistic brain is unable to comprehend most art. I see a rain dirty valley, but the artists sells you Brigadoon. A lot of what makes art great is knowing what it is meant to represent; even I have been swayed on occasion once I have been informed. Therefore, to teach art appreciation to a young audience will hold them in good stead and could also be great fun.

|author=Laura Williams
|summary=Tom Malmquist is a poet from Sweden. Originally published in Swedish in 2015, this is his first work of prose. While it's being marketed as a novel, it reads more like a stylized memoir. Similar to Karl Ove Knausgaard's books, it features the author as the central character and narrator, and the story of grief it tells is a highly personal one.

|author= Michel Deon
|title= Your Father's Room
|rating= 4.5
|genre= Literary Fiction
|summary= I don't feel altogether qualified to review Michel Déon's 2004 fictionalised memoir ''Your Father's Room'', translated here into English for the first time. I hadn't heard of Déon before receiving my copy, let alone read any of his books, published over a 70 year period to much acclaim in his homeland. But it's part of the pleasure of book reviewing to read with no prior knowledge or prejudice, all the more so if you discover an absolute gem.
