|title=Everlost

|author=Neal Shusterman

|rating=5

|summary=[http://twitter.com/TamsynTweetie Tamsyn Tweetie's] choice. Bookbag said: Completely gorgeous fantasy adventure set in a kind of afterlife limbo for children. It's exciting and pacy, but it's also irresistibly humorous and utterly serious. The final pay-off is superb. How you get all that into 384 pages, Bookbag doesn't know, but it does stand in awe.

|title=The Secret

|author=Rhonda Byrne

|rating=1

|summary=[http://twitter.com/BenjaminGlover Benjamin Glover's] choice - because he likes the review, not the book. Bookbag said: Even the normal devotees of self-help and devourers of New Ageish pseudo-scientific, pseudo-spiritual advice should keep away from this one: it contains about 4 points of advice on positive thinking repeated in a sequence of tautologies ad nauseam and wrapped in an astonishingly stupid amount of utter balderdash. Calling it pseudo-scientific is an insult to pseudo-science. Most 'scientific sounding' sentences there are not only not true, they don't even make sense. Keep away.
