|title=Never Any End to Paris
|author=Enrique Vila-Matas
|rating=4.5
|genre=Literary Fiction
|summary=There is never any end to Paris. The sentence pops up, hypnotic, through most of the book. At times ironic, thoughtful or questioning, it is a quote from Hemingway’s novel, ''A Moveable Feast'', in which the American author looked back at his days in Paris, where he was ‘very poor and very happy.’ The narrator of ''Never Any End to Paris'' tells us that when he lived in Paris, he was ‘very poor and very unhappy.’

|title=Last Days of the Bus Club
|summary=Harry Dresden is and has been a lot of things: the only wizard in the Chicago phone book, PI, reluctant Knight of the Winter Court, even apparently dead. Now it looks as though he's about to relive the death bit but a bit more permanently. The parasite in his brain is still killing him while he's stranded as warden on the island penal colony of Demonreach. Hold tight though – the good news is that he's about to be liberated. The bad? The liberator is Queen Mab who wants Harry to do a bit of robbery beside a former arch enemy of his. If he refuses, the parasite will kill him and then slope off to kill everyone he knows and cares about, including his little daughter Maggie. However, nothing is simple, even this. There are catches, hell's bells there are!

|title=Manifest Destiny Volume 1
|author=Chris Dingess, Matthew Roberts and Owen Gieni
|rating=4
|genre=Graphic Novels
|summary=It's 1804 and some newly-American soldiers are expanding the territory to the west, at the orders of President Jefferson – orders which allude to the pioneering party encountering some very unusual things. And they do – first a huge arc of greenery, putting the modern reader in mind of the Missouri landmark arch as bastardised by something along the lines of the Statue of Liberty in the original 'Planet of the Apes'. But when that site gets attacked the weirdness certainly starts to show itself…
