Book Number Forty Four - Never Say Die

Never Say Die - Chris O'Brien

The memoir of a truly great surgeon Prof Chris O'Brien. Tragic, as all the epic tales are, but uplifting, humourous and very real.

Book Number Forty Three - A short history of tractors in ukranian

A short history of tractors in Ukranian - Marina Lewycka

Short listed for the 2005 Orange Prize. An easy and at the time an enjoyable read but easily forgotten thereafter.

Book Number Forty Two - Revenge of the Spellmans

Revenge of the Spellmans - Lisa Lutz

Chick flick at its sublime best.

Book Number Forty One - The Tiger's Wife

The Tiger's Wife - Tea Obreht

The Orange Prize Winner 2011. A great read, written beautifully with many unanswered questions. Brilliant.

Book Number Fourty - Sing You Home

Sing you home - Jodi Picoult

Another classic Jodi Picoult - tackling the current issues in a romanticised way. No shocking twist at the end, however.

Book Number Thirty Nine - Curse of the Spellmans

Curse of the Spellmans - Lisa Lutz

A brilliantly written sequel to the first book. These characters are well developed, easy to read and emotionally attachable. The story keeps moving along. Chick flick with some standards
