1.The Forgotten Garden by: Kate Morton May 29, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.86 You Save: £4.13 (52%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.70
It's been a while since something this good has come along. Having read THE HOUSE AT RIVERTON, I had to read Morton's next book. Ususally the author lets you down with a watered-down version of book number one, but not in this case. I think THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN may actually be better. I reads like a cross between "Rebecca," "Bark of the Dogwood," and the classic "The Secret Garden." Family secrets, spooky houses, forgotten gardens---it all makes for one atmospheric read. I was reminded at times of an almost Hitchcock air--there's that "Rebecca" theme again. The book is suspenseful without being hokey, and Morton paces everything just so. For those who are interested in details, it's probably no conincidence that the ... Read More:

2.Devil May Care (James Bond) by: Sebastian Faulks May 28, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £18.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.49 You Save: £9.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.75
D.M.C is a great read,but Amis's Colonel Sun is better.Nice effort though, even with the very predictable scheme cooked up by the main villian.It's just a shame he's not writing a second outing.

3.A Thousand Splendid Suns by: Khaled Hosseini May 22, 2007

This author has a gift for storytelling - I couldn't put this book down and my heart was racing to find out what would happen next. Highly recommended

I picked this book up, read a couple of pages and couldnt put it down. A truly moving story of the different lives of two boys. What a fantastic author Khaled Hosseini is, he brings the story alive. I didnt want the book to end.The 2nd best book I have ever read. Caz

5.The Road Home by: Rose Tremain June 12, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.94 You Save: £4.05 (51%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.80
This book was riveting; as with other works of Rose Tremaine I was totally absorbed in her imagined world. I felt Lev was lucky to be so well supported from back home and by chance encounters on his journey. Many others are not so lucky. An important book in reminding us of the humanity of our migrant workers, and how lucky we are to benefit from their hard work.

6.This Charming Man by: Marian Keyes April 30, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £17.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.99 You Save: £9.00 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.00
This is so disappointing. The bar is always high for Marian Keyes and this isn't a bad book, but...... It could have been so much better. Good central plot and some interesting characters but sloppily edited. Is the problem that Marian is so famous and such a good seller that her publishers don't dare tell her the truth? The book needs cutting and some careful editing. It also needs to lose the diary style which is inconsistent, irritating and unneccessary. If you want to know how to do diary, then read Alison Pearson. Please don't do this again Marian. You are one of the best around and this was rambling and undisciplined.

7.The Beach House by: Jane Green June 12, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.44 You Save: £8.55 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.99
What a lovely summer read this is - a real tonic; one to kick off your flip-flops to and relax with over a glass of wine. Lovely. The story is centred around Nan, an eccentric 65 year old living in a beach house in Nantucket by herself. That summer she decides to rent out rooms and invite some laughter and joy back into the house. Here we meet Daff, Daniel and Michael who are all trying to get away from something. They bond over home cooked meals, chats on the veranda, and cycles along the beach and each one slowly starts to realise that there is more to life than the rat race they have come from. There are a few surprises thrown in too to keep us on our toes. Jane Green has done it again - a lovely light breezy read and what is more perfect for ... Read More:

8.Making Money (Discworld) by: Terry Pratchett June 16, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.86 You Save: £4.13 (52%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.94
Many others have commented before so I only want to express my disappointment that the master's slip is showing as it were. I believe that Terry's last few novels have been less than perfect and this one is another rung down the ladder. But having said that I read it virtually overnight and it is still the benchmark that other comedy fantasists have to reach and seldom overcome. Unfortunately having set the bar so high he doesn't quite make it over this time.

9.Wedding Season by: Katie Fforde June 05, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.54 You Save: £4.45 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.57
This book is gorgeous romantic froth & I loved it. How does Fforde manage to make her heroines real women, juggling jobs, families, relationships, and yet, her men are pure fantasy figures? Still single & straight in their 30s, bruised by love but not bitter, kind, helpful & sexy all at the same time. Sarah is a wedding planner who doesn't believe in romance; Elsa, a dressmaker who needs some self confidence; and Bron, a hairdresser with a boorish boyfriend who wants to make some changes in her life. When a Hollywood celebrity hires Sarah to plan her perfect wedding, Sarah is eager to take up the challenge, with help from Elsa & Bron. Then, her younger sister, Lily, announces that her wedding is planned for the same day, and could Sarah help her plan the perfect ... Read More:

10.Revelation (Matthew Shardlake 4) by: C.J. Sansom April 04, 2008

This, the fourth novel concerning Matthew Shardlake, is superb. The characters are more developed (and the longer the series go on, the bigger and more developed the supporting cast becomes). The plot is cleverer and different - here we see Shardlake dealing with a serial killer, and although the politicians are involved this is a different kettle of fish to the rebellions and political plots that our favourite hunch-backed Tudor lawyer has found himself involved in before. And in my opinion it's for the better - C J Sansom's writing has always been addictive (but not in an obtrusive way) and has always had totally convincing historical contexts (at least to a moderately informed one such as I). But in the past the plots have been slightly predictable - more so the ... Read More:
