|title=As Serious As Death (Primavera Blackstone Mystery)
|rating=4
|genre=Crime
|summary=Primavera Blackstone is determined to live a quiet life. She's happy in her role as a single parent to the late Oz Blackstone's three children (one of hers, two of someone else's - don't ask, it's complicated...) and living in a village on the Spanish coast suits her perfectly. She's OK with Liam Matthews too. He's not the love of her life but they rub along well together until Liam mentions the M word. Primavera doesn't want to get married and before long Liam is on his way. Problems never seem to come on their own - and the next one is the arrival of a retired policeman from her Scottish past. Ricky Ross is now a private detective and he's working for Jack Weighley, owner of a budget airline and a man whose PR makes him seem nicer than the reality would prove.

|title=Octopus's Garden
|author=Ringo Starr and Ben Cort
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=This is a beautifully illustrated book which takes the readers into a lovely world of fantasy. There is no story to speak of. The text of this book consists only of the lyrics to The Beatles song ''Octopus's'' ''Garden'' from their 1969 album - Abbey Road. I loved this song as a very young child, and I always felt this was written for children, at least on some level. I used to close my eyes listen to the words as I pictured the Octopus and his enchanted garden. It is the only song, to my knowledge written solely by Ringo, and the last song which featured Ringo as the lead vocalist.
