|title=Rules of Summer
|rating=2.5
|genre=Teens
|summary=Rory wanted to get away from her mother, even if it means working as an errand girl for the wealthy Rule family. Isabel Rule just wanted a summer romance with a hot guy. I wanted a fun read with engaging characters. Guess which of the three of us was disappointed?

|summary=The past is catching up with Bob Winrush. His marriage is over as a result of his inconsiderate arrival home early when weather cancelled one of his jobs as a cargo pilot to find his wife in bed with another man but when an investigative journalist starts to dig into some of the content of Bob's previous cargo trips, his life is quickly placed in grave danger. His problems stemmed from having walked away from a particularly morally dubious trip to transport arms to the Taliban some years ago, although it turns out that his moral line in the sand is somewhat blurred. He has knowingly transported guns and military personnel in his time. He's sort of the aeronautical equivalent of white van man.

|author=Dougal Dixon
|title=If Dinosaurs Were Alive Today
|rating=4.5
|genre=Children's Non-Fiction
|summary=The book starts with a simple question. How would we cope, how would dinosaurs cope if they had not become extinct and were around today? They're put in context, going back to the beginnings of Planet Earth four and a half billion years ago and working forward to show how life evolved and asking if the skills the dinosaurs developed would allow them to survive today. The four groups of dinosaurs - plant-eaters, meat-eaters, ocean-dwellers and flying reptiles - are then looked at in some detail.

|author=Danny Wallace
|title=Charlotte Street
|rating=4.5
|genre=General Fiction
|summary=In his early books, Danny Wallace was the new Tony Hawks, taking on silly challenges and recounting them in amusing ways. With ''Charlotte Street'', his first entirely fictional work, he seems to be moving into territory inhabited by [[:Category:Mike Gayle|Mike Gayle]], that of bloke-lit. It seems a decent fit, as his book ''Yes Man'' had elements of bloke-lit, despite being based on actual events. It may have suffered from a twee ending, but it offered enough to suggest that this is a field Danny Wallace could work well in.
