|author=Lydia Syson

|title=Liberty's Fire

|rating=4.5

|genre=YA Fiction: historical

|summary=Paris in the uneasy and violent months between March and May 1871 is an inspired setting for this tense, dramatic novel. ‘’Liberty's Fire’’ is Lydia Syson's third work of fiction and certainly ensures that she will not be stereotyped into any single historical period.

|author=Jayne Anne Phillips

|summary= Author Marlena de Blasi lives in the (as far as I can tell from having a quick google), beautiful small Italian city of Orvieto – deep in the beautiful Umbrian countryside. Having lived there for some time, she gradually becomes aware of the Umbrian Thursday Night Supper Club – a group of Italian ladies who meet once a week for supper, and to talk. Whilst it takes her some time, Marlena eventually manages to be accepted into the group, and begins to cook and eat with these unique and fascinating ladies, sharing both tales of life, love, and death, and taking part in delicious home cooked meals.

~~|title= Will Gallows and the Wolfer's Deadly Magic~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Confident Readers~~

|summary=Will Gallows is just a week away from being a fully-fledged member of the Sky Cavalry – and his talking, winged horse is even more keen on hitting the passing out ceremony on the nose. But things aren't all going to go their way – Mid-Rock City has received a blackmail note, extorting the town out of a lot of gold for threat of a 'death mace', of which nobody has ever heard. Certain factors all point to Will being the best cadet to take part in nixing the handover to the criminal, not least of which is his half-hidden secret magic skill due to being part-elf – but as soon as it's realised who the baddy is, things immediately step up a gear. And if that isn't bad enough, Will's grandma and great-uncle have just turned up for a pleasant trip based around his graduation…
