|author=Ace Atkins
|title=The Ranger
|rating=4
|genre=Crime
|summary=Every so often I read a book which just confirms how little I know about the USA. I don't quite understand the political system. I certainly don't understand the law enforcement system (and don't like the bits I do 'get'; I fear that our UK leaders seem to think that the politicisation of law enforcement that seems to be the norm over there is actually a good idea). And every so often I come across a branch of the military that I'd never heard of.

|summary=Fergal is part of a popular pop band. Regularly in the news for various scandals, he is introduced in the prologue to this novel when he recalls his first, somewhat dramatic meeting with 17-year-old Tish, and the year-long romance which followed.

|title=How Puzzles Improve Your Brain: The Surprising Science of the Playful Brain
|rating=4
|genre=Popular Science
|summary=Many people in the first flush of youth will read this book to find ways of increasing their brain power. Others - like me - at the other end of the age continuum will read because they're looking for ways to restrict or even reverse what they see as deterioration. Both groups might initially be disappointed as the title suggests that the book is about puzzles, but don't give up as the reality is far more useful. This is a book about how our brains ''work'', how the different parts interact or come into play in certain circumstances - and then there are some puzzles directed at improving performance in those areas.
