|summary=At midlife, Mary Rose MacKinnon has settled down with her partner, Hilary, and is raising two young children. Opting to fulfill the role of stay at home mum, she has placed her career as an author on hold. What follows is a bid to reconcile this new identity with her former idea of self. Success, however, depends on Mary Rose facing up to the confusions of her past.

|summary=When I was growing up, TV only had four channels and games consoles came in the form of the rubber keyed ZX Spectrum. Despite these meagre offerings, we would still spend endless summer hours in the sitting room if our parents had not thrown us outside. In 2015, there are far more TV channels to watch and games come in high fidelity, what chance does nature have against ‘Call of Duty’? You would be surprised, as despite all the creature comforts of the front room, children still want to play outside, all they have to be - is inspired.

|title=J.K. Rowling: A Bibliography 1997 - 2013
|rating=5
|genre=Reference
|summary=Just occasionally it's necessary to begin by saying what a book ''isn't'': ''J.K. Rowling: A Bibliography 1997 - 2013'' isn't the latest book ''by'' J K Rowling - she had no part in the writing of the book and doesn't profit from it financially. It isn't, actually, ''about'' J K Rowling other than indirectly. It ''is'' a book about her writings, bibliographic details of each edition of ALL her books, pamphlets, and contributions to published works. It is ''not'' a book for the reader who loved the [[J K Rowling's Harry Potter Books in Chronological Order|Harry Potter books]] and wishes that Rowling had written many more, but rather the definitive text about the books which will be consulted by scholars, book dealers and collectors, auction houses and researchers. The most obvious comparison for me is [[Stamps of the World 2013 by Stanley Gibbons|Stamps of the World by Stanley Gibbons]]. It is of that class.
