|rating=4
|genre=Dystopian Fiction
|summary=A week is a long time in politics, but it feels infinitely longer in a zombie apocalypse. ''The Remaining'' started a new series of books that followed trained military expert Captain Lee Harden and his mission to rebuild America should the undead hit the fan. As an introduction, [[The Remaining by D J Molles|The Remaining]] did a great job in creating the world and exploring Harden’s tenacity to stick to the mission, but it ended so abruptly. ''The Remaining: Aftermath'' picks up moments later and continues the tale, but does it still deliver a week into his mission?

|title=The Art of Baking Blind
|summary=Sebastian Faulks and Dr Hope Wolf have expertly brought together this far-reaching collection of memories, diaries, letters and postcards written during and after the First World War. While Faulks is the author of novels such as ''Birdsong'' and ''Charlotte Gray'', Dr Hope Wolf is a research fellow in English at the University of Cambridge, whose doctoral research focused on archives at the Imperial War Museum. The combination of such a respected author, whose most famous (and arguably his best) novel is set in the First World War, and an academic whose expertise is the in the same area, means that this fascinating collection hits all the right notes. It's commemorative, poignant and very human.
