|title=The Restoration of Otto Laird
|rating=4
|genre=General Fiction
|summary=''The Restoration of Otto Laird'' is an interesting concept for a story. It pitches an ageing architect against an ageing building that was built early in Otto's career. When Otto makes the trip from Switzerland to London to try and save Marlowe house from demolition, he takes an unwilling journey down his own past.

|summary=I can't say that I'm a fan of reworkings of classic books: [[Emma by Alexander McCall Smith|some]] suck the life out of the original, [[Jane Eyrotica by Charlotte Bronte and Karena Rose|others]] fail to add anything - and why would you want to read an inferior version when you can read the real thing? Generally, I try to avoid them - and I'm still not certain why I made an exception for ''Thornfield Hall'' - it certainly wasn't the headless woman (sigh...) on the cover - but I added it to my reading pile. I'm glad that I did.

|title=Chop Chop
|rating=4.5
|genre=General Fiction
|summary='Monocle' isn't his real name, but that's what the brigade at ''The Swan'' would call him once they knew him well enough to insult him. He has an English Literature degree, you see, and the chefs think that's what he would have worn. He'd no interest in cooking, but was two months behind on his rent and being the lowest-rung chef in a gastropub in Camden was the only job that he could get. His co-workers are deranged and borderline criminal whilst the head chef, Bob is a top-rank sadist constantly on the look out for material on which to practice. Monocle has little choice but to stay - given the situation between his parents, going home isn't really an option.
