|title= The Dyslexic Hearts Club
|rating= 3.5
|genre= General Fiction
|summary= I recently reviewed a novel by another Scandinavian novelist, Helle Helle, [[This Should be Written in the Present Tense by Helle Helle and Martin Aitken (translator)|This Should be Written in the Present Tense]], and I expected this novel by Hanneke Hendrix to be very similar. It wasn't. That's not totally a bad thing – many people will enjoy the fast-paced, dialogue driven novel that ''The Dyslexic Hearts Club'' is. It just wasn't exactly what I was expecting.

|summary=Elsie and Homer Hickam were West Virginians and knew how to make their tales as ''tall as the hills that surrounded them on all sides''.

''Carrying Albert Home'' is the story of a man and his wife, a sweet pet alligator and a very lucky rooster who decide to take a road trip to Florida in 1935; the year of the Great Depression.

|title= Bret Easton Ellis and the Other Dogs
|rating= 5
|genre= General Fiction
|summary= Upstairs, a flat where mother and daughter struggle from pay cheque to pay cheque; downstairs, the love nest of a dying writer and her last of many conquests. Bret Easton Ellis and the Other Dogs is a multilayered testimonial to the writer, the eccentric Alba Cambó, gathered by Araceli, the teenager upstairs. Through Araceli's bird's-eye view, anecdotes unfold as told by lovers, business acquaintances (often both – for with Alba Cambó you can never know), and the short stories of Cambó herself.
