61.New Moon (Twilight Saga) by: Stephenie Meyer September 06, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.54 You Save: £2.45 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.26
'New Moon' (NM) is the second book in The Twilight Saga, written by the amazingly talented Stephenie Meyer. 'New Moon' starts roughly four months after the end of 'Twilight', with Bella's eighteenth birthday. What should be a trouble free birthday party turns into a disaster, after Bella gives herself a paper cut. This event, in a way, shapes the whole book, as it's the reason why Edward does what he does (no spoilers here), and the reason why he starts to re-think his relationship with Bella. 'New Moon' focuses more on the character of Jacob, who we were previously introduced to in 'Twilight'. He becomes very important to Bella, and plays a pivotal role in The Twilight Saga. 'New Moon' is just as compelling ... Read More:

62.Dissolution (Matthew Shardlake 1) by: C.J. Sansom May 18, 2007

There aren't many books that can hold my attention but this one did. I saw an advertisment for C.J Sansom's book entitled, "Revelation" when I was on a trip to London recently and remarked I fancied reading it to which my mum replied that she already had 3 C.J Sansom books. I started with this, "Dissolution". I was hooked from the start. I really did not want it to end. It's a really enjoyable read and I'm onto my next one now. Apparently there are 4 in the Shardlake series so I've got some reading ahead of me! If you have an interest in history, then this is a really impressive read.

63.To Kill a Mockingbird by: Harper Lee October 05, 1989
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.94 You Save: £3.05 (44%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.15
'To Kill a Mockingbird' is one of the best books I have read. I was moved to tears when finishing the last page. It is read through the eyes of Scout, a young girl, living in Maycombe, with her brother and father. Her father, Atticus, is a lawyer, who defends a black man accused by a white family. The book explains about predjudice in the 1930's, deep in the Southern States of America, and has a wonderful story line. The book tells of the events before, during and the aftermath of the trial of Tom Robinson, the man accused. Many of the first chapters are about Boo Radley, a man locked up by his family, for committing a crime. We discover more about him as the book goes on. The book also has a wonderful finish. The book is one that will stay with me ... Read More:

64.Tell Me Something by: Adele Parks May 29, 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: £5.00
Adele Parks writes really entertaining books - of that there is no doubt. But they usually have a grittier under-belly of social conscience as well. This one, although v entertaining, was more chick lit than the others I felt. That said she really gets into the head of Elizabeth and her 'beyond everything' desire for kids, but it feels more superficial (or at least it did to me). In short, yes you will be entertained, no you probably won't be caused to think too much - and worse case, the simpering Elizabeth could really get on your nerves. This isn't the strongest of Adele Parks books, but it's better than lots of others in this genre.

65.The Woods by: Harlan Coben January 24, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £2.75 You Save: £4.24 (61%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
This is my first Harlan Coben book and I took it on holiday with me. Like other reviewers, I enjoyed the plot very much and all the twists and turns kept me gripped from the start. Unfortunately it got me so hooked I finished the book in a couple of days, which left me with nothing else to read for the rest of the holiday! For my next holiday I will be taking a large number of Coben's books which I'm sure will be equally as good as The Woods. Highly recommended.

66.The God Delusion by: Richard Dawkins May 21, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.39 You Save: £4.60 (51%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.00
I bought this book with high hopes of reading strong and convincing arguments against the idea of there being a supreme being. I'm no religious person and have my doubts that there is a god but this book is soooooo boring, disjointed, repetitive and clogged with very weak and almost ridiculous arguments and analogies. c'mon prof dawkins, u cud hav done better! total waste of money...i cud have written a better book on the subject!

67.A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by: Eckhart Tolle June 29, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.52 You Save: £4.47 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.99
This book is so good it should be compulsary reading in schools. If every person lived their lives according to the wisdom of this book we would have no wars, no inequality, we'd respect other life forms and our environment, and we'd all be happier. Jimmy Hendrix said: 'When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.' Those people who crave power are those with the most powerful eogs. If these people become aware thay they are infected with the ego disease they would surely embrace the power of love. In years to come this book will become known as the one that helped cure humanity of the ultimate cancer that is the ego. Amazing!!!

68.I Used to Know That: Stuff You Forgot from School by: Caroline Taggart May 22, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.99 You Save: £4.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.21
Leafing through this in the book shop my smug, 'I still know that!' expression was rapidly replaced with an, 'I never knew that!' look of horror!... So I bought it immediately, and having just finished this delightfully ingenious tome I am now happy to say that although I may not have 'Known That', I do now! A great book, birthday and Christmas presents for this year are taken care of!

69.The Kitchen Gardener: Grow Your Own Fruit and Veg by: Alan Titchmarsh March 06, 2008

I'm not a gardener, I'm someone who has a bash at growing a few tomatoes, and would like to keep her blueberry bush alive. That's about it. This book as absolutely wonderful! The information is practical,concise and very easy to follow. There's just the right about of information - not enough to overwhelm you, and not too little that just leaves you with unanswered questions (as with Carol Klein's book). There's also the obvious bonus that this book covers fruit as well as vegetables, whereas most 'grow your own' books are vegetables only. Alan's book has inspired me to add to my little vegetable patch this year. My tomatoes will be joined by some new ideas, and I now know how to perk up that blueberry bush! An absolute bargain of a book. A joy to ... Read More:

70.Shakespeare: The World as a Stage (Eminent Lives) by: Bill Bryson April 01, 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: £2.17
Although best known for his travel writing, Bryson's books on the English language are brilliant, so it's quite appropriate to find him writing about its most famous exponent. A huge amount has been written about Shakespeare and his life, despite the fact that very little is really known about him. Bryson keeps the focus on what is definitely known, with little forays into some of the best theories about the rest. Where nothing is known at all, the 'lost years', he chooses to explore Elizabethan London and culture instead, putting the man in context. Informative, wry, and well researched, this debunks plenty of Shakespeare myths in an accessible and enjoyable style, and Bryson turns out to be an excellent guide.
