|author=Pippa Mattinson
|title=Choosing the Perfect Puppy
|rating=4.5
|genre=Pets
|summary=If you have ever, for even a fleeting moment, thought about getting a puppy, you really ought to read this book. Too many people are carried away in the heat of the moment and ''must'' have a particular breed and go ahead without any thought about the consequences. They then have to live with the problems which ''might'' have been avoided for a decade or more. The puppy and the adult dog also has to live with an owner who might not be able to accommodate his needs. [[:Category:Pippa Mattinson|Pippa Mattinson]] is my go-to author on matters dog related: she talks sense. She doesn't try to talk you out of getting a particular breed or any puppy: she simply presents the facts and allows you to make your own decisions.

|summary=For a long time now, people have worried about females taking up STEM subjects – the sciences, engineering and suchlike. But I know of at least two sources of role models in that regard. One, most obviously, is ''Star Wars'' – let's face it, the latest main film had a girl who scavenged parts but could fly the ''Millennium Falcon'' with ease, and the likes of [[Star Wars: Ahsoka by E K Johnston|Ahsoka]] is adept at mending some sort of flying farming machines. If you don't wish to go too fantastical, or are seeking role models for the younger audience, there is the output of [[:Category:Andrea Beaty and David Roberts|Andrea Beaty]].

|author= Irvine Welsh
|title= The Blade Artist
|rating= 5
|genre= Crime
|summary=So. In the interest of honest disclosure I should tell you that I love Irvine Welsh's work and I must confess to a particularly gruesome fancy for Begbie, the notoriously violent, terrifying protector/tormentor of the Trainspotting gang. Whilst this means you are unlikely to receive an unbiased review, it does mean you will get a passionate one. It is fair to say that I loved ''The Blade Artist'' and my only critique would be that it was over too quickly. For those of you who may not be familiar with Welsh's earlier manifestations have no fear, you can pick up ''The Blade Artist'' and be transfixed by Jim Francis, artist, father, husband and elegant thug. For those of you with previous knowledge of Francis Begbie you'll be instantly drawn back into the world of a man previously defined by petty vengeance, violence and blood.
