1.QI: Advanced Banter by: John Lloyd, John Mitchinson October 02, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.49 You Save: £7.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.99
What a great book - packed with gems of wit and wisdom. Only the interesting-facts QI team could deliver such a great collection and do it so well. Clearly a real labour of love for those who put it together. A veritable treasure trove. An ideal present for almost anyone on almost any occasion.

2.Azincourt by: Bernard Cornwell October 01, 2008

I studied this period (and this battle in particular) during my history degree in the early 90's and decided that I would delve back in time to remind myself what this was all about. Azincourt was my companion on a return flight to Bahrain recently and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Historically interesting, full of action and detail it really had me turning pages through both flights! When I landed at Gatwick I was disappointed to have to find another book to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a passing interest in medieval history, but it's easily accessible to absolutely anyone who enjoys as good action adventure.

3.Stephen Fry in America by: Stephen Fry October 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £20.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.99 You Save: £10.01 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £12.50
Having read the three and four star reviews, I had second-thoughts about purchasing 'Stephen Fry in America'. But after purchasing the book on the back of watchin three episodes of the TV programme I was compelled to write a review and it is one of 5 stars, as I'm sure you may be aware of! I can tell you my friends, that this well put together travelogue of a quintessentially Englishman's journey through and into the heart of America is almost definitely a book everyone who 'views' this item on amazon should purchase. I don't want to slate the former reviews (apart from the 5 star one, great outlook ol' chum) because they're entitled to create their own opinions but they are wrong! To quote Mike D of the Beastie Boys, "I don't speak what I hear, I just ... Read More:

4.Scarpetta by: Patricia Cornwell November 24, 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: £8.00
"Scarpetta" is the return to form we have all been waiting for! I started the book yesterday, and I'm now halfway through, but I wanted to share my first impressions. I think this is Ms. Cornwell's best Scarpetta novel since "The Last Precinct". Her writing seems tight and focused again; from the outset, the characters and the reader plunge into the investigation, and there's none of those awful (in my opinion) 'inside the killer's mind in real-time' sequences that ruined books like "Predator" for me. Here, the reader discovers things with the characters. I'll post again when I've finished the book, but the first-half is very promising. Thank you, Ms. Cornwell!!

5.Nation by: Terry Pratchett September 11, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.49 You Save: £8.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.47
As a great Pratchett fan I found this book bitterly disappointing. It drops everything that Pratchett is good at. There were no intricate plot, no strong characters and didn't have the magic that we have come to expect from such a great writer. I actually had trouble motivating myself to finish this book.

6.A Thousand Splendid Suns by: Khaled Hosseini September 18, 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: £6.64
Had this book bought for me as a birthday present, and to be honest I wasn't looking forward to reading it, I was put off by the thought of reading about wars.. However I've just finished the book. I read it in one day as I was completely unable to put it down. Totally gripping and moving. A real insight to a place which we only hear about on the news. I'm now going to buy the kite runner.

7.The Thrift Book: Live Well and Spend Less by: India Knight November 06, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.49 You Save: £7.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.08
As a big fan of India Knight and someone who is actively trying to cut back I was delighted when I saw she had written this book. Having read it though I have to say I am quite disappointed. It's written in her usual entertaining style but the content consists mainly of patronising rubbish backed up by endless lists of websites which anyone good at Googling could have put together. It's also clearly aimed at townies/Londoners which is highly annoying for the rest of us. The suggestions for saving money seem to be split into three categories - a) things lots of people already do because they don't have much choice like taking a packed lunch to work or holidaying in the UK, b) 'trendy' ideas that people have actually been doing for years like making jam or handing down clothes ...

8.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: £1.19
This book was recommended to me by my mum who kept going on about how it was the best book she had ever read so I decided I'd give it a go after reading through the first chapter of The House At Riverton in a book shop and deciding I liked the authors style of writing. I absolutely loved the way that the book interweaved the different characters throughout the novel and didn't find it too difficult to get to grips with different chapters being set in different time frames, if anything I found the variety nice and it kept the book moving along building the story beautifully to it's conclusion. Throughout this book I kept trying to second guess what the authors intended plot was going to be, she continually surprised me and moved the goalposts and I ... Read More:

9.Revelation (Shardlake) by: C.J. Sansom October 02, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.49 You Save: £6.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.37
What an excellent Tudor mystery - Sansom really brings Tudor life 'back to life'! If you enjoy grizzly murder mysteries with twists and turns then this is for you. It is well up to the standard of the previous 3 Shardlake novels and we can only hope the fourth one will not be too long in arriving! Read and enjoy - one to immerse onself in on a cold winter night!

10.The Kite Runner by: Khaled Hosseini June 07, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.15 You Save: £4.84 (61%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.25
A lot of novels are "worthy" but you need to put a lot of effort into getting the most out of them; others are page-turners and pass the time easily and pleasurably, but don't do much else. The Kite Runner has that rare quality of being both worthy and a page-turner - and you learn a good slice about Afghan culture to boot. It's a very concisely written novel which tells a fascinating story and which contains sharply-observed characters that you come to really care about; the author's honesty shines through from start to finish.
