|author=Anthea Bell and Anna Morgunova
|title=Vasilisa the Beautiful (Russian Folktales)
|rating=4
|genre=Emerging Readers
|summary=When I say to you the first response I had on picking up this book was 'Ooh, someone knows their Klimt', and that I thought I had seen Kandinsky in the art inside, it tells you the aesthetic is definitely to the fore here. (That latter claim was a bit false – but there's definitely a touch of Picasso.) Of course there is a story, and a more-than decent story it is too, but with the intriguing, detailed and unusual artwork of Anna Morgunova, this picture book with many words really does come to life.

|summary=I live in the countryside and spend as much time as the weather will allow exploring it, so the chance to read Ruth Binney's ''The English Countryside'' was too good to be missed. We've met Ruth [[The Allotment Experience by Ruth Binney|before]] at Bookbag and we know that she writes well and interestingly, but just one thing was worrying me about this book. It's a hardback and beautifully presented but its the size of book that you slip into a pocket or handbag. Would it be rather superficial?

|title=Busy: How to Thrive in a World of Too Much
|rating=5
|genre=Lifestyle
|summary=Serendipity often brings you to the important books. Recently I heard myself say to a friend: ''I'm far too busy to do some of the important stuff''. It pulled me up short: there was definitely something wrong here - and then I had the opportunity to listen to an audio download of ''Busy'' and I knew that it was something I ''had'' to do and take notice of if I was to stop going ''backwards''. Because that was what I was doing.
