|author= Amy Krouse Rosenthal

|title= Textbook Amy Krouse Rosenthal

|rating= 5

|genre= Autobiography

|summary= I wasn't sure what to expect when I asked for this book to review. It claims on the front cover to be ''not exactly a memoir'', and it isn't. Yet, also, it kind of is. In fact, I would struggle to describe or decipher exactly what it is. It is so unlike any book I've ever read before.

|author=Alastair Fraser

|summary=A book about a woman from a war-shredded country, who discovers she has breast cancer…Not a bundle of laughs, one would assume. One would be wrong. ''Chernobyl Strawberries'' is, amongst other things, very funny.

~~|author=John Kemp~~

~~|title=Caring for Shirley~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Autobiography~~

|summary=John Kemp's wife, Shirley, suffered from dementia and loss of coordination and for eight years he was her full-time carer as she was unable to walk unaided (well, she ''could'' - but it was likely to result in a serious fall) and took care of all her most personal needs. Probably the most heart-breaking part of this is that Shirley didn't recognise John as her husband - apart from 'give us a kiss', the question 'where's John?' was usually the first which sprang to her lips in any situation. Although she could often have quite an affable disposition she was capable of kicking and biting when she was being 'encouraged' to do something which she didn't want to do.
