|author= Hunter Davies
|title=A Life in the Day: Memories of Sixties London, Lots of Writing, The Beatles and my Beloved Wife
|rating= 5
|genre= Autobiography
|summary= Although I knew the name Hunter Davies before I picked this book up, I was unaware just how pivotal a figure of the Swinging Sixties Hunter Davies really was. Take him, Harold Wilson and a certain musical quartet from Liverpool out of the decade, and you are left with a bit of a vacuum.

|author= Ellie Irving
|summary=Set in Istanbul in 2016, ''Three Daughters of Eve'' centres on Peri, a Turkish woman who finds herself thinking back to her years at Oxford University to distract herself from a boring dinner party. Her reminiscing is triggered when she finds an old polaroid of herself, her friends Mona and Shirin, and the rebellious Professor Azur. Much of her thoughts revolve around the scandal that prevented her from graduating from her dream university. More of a commentary on religion than a story, the novel asks many questions about faith - in particular, Islam - and whether its customs and traditions can be adapted to suit modern life.
