|title=One River: Explorations and Discoveries in the Amazon Rainforest
|author=Wade Davis
|rating=4.5
|genre=Travel
|summary=As someone who has always enjoyed learning about the Amazon, and with plans to travel to South America next year, this book practically screamed at me to be reviewed. And, although a little tough going and long-winded in parts, I'm glad I had the opportunity to get lost in Davis' incredible work of non-fiction. Difficult to describe in terms of genre, this book combines history, politics, science, botany and culture. It is delivered through a biographical account of Davis' own travels and as a memoir to Richard Evans Schultes, an ethnobotanist well known for his work and travels in the Amazon and Wade Davis' highly regarded mentor.

|title=Before You Die
|author=Samantha Hayes
|rating=3.5
|genre=Crime
|summary=A stolen bike, a crash, a death.
 
Anywhere else it would be a catastrophic accident. Here, it's suicide. Another one. Please don't let it be starting all over again.
 
D.I. Lorraine Fisher is one of those rare creatures in modern detective fiction. She's normal. Married, with two daughters who she only partly understands, and a husband who she loves to bits, and not enough time to spend with any of them. She has a good career, because it's clearly what she was born to do. No quirks, no hang-ups, she's just good at her job, because she thinks like a copper – which means she doesn't give up at the first hurdle. When things nag at her, she lets them, until she can hear what it is they are trying to tell her.
