|title=This Modern Love
|rating= 4
|genre= Lifestyle
|summary= Love is love, but at the same time love is changing, the way we find it, the way we express it, the way we walk away from things. You can change a Facebook status and tell the entire world the ins and outs of your relationship, you can meet people online, you can conduct long distance relationships in much more real time than in the past when you had to rely on the postman to deliver your heartfelt, handwritten note. This book, a compilation of letters and other contributions, explores what love is in the 21st century. It's certainly international – there were 15,000 submissions from over 100 countries – and it's also touching, funny, frustrating and all those other things.

|summary= Sometimes it can be hard to run with the big dogs, and while I know the names to drop in my field of work, some wider cultural references can pass me by. This is especially true for those from before my time and so I was delighted to find icons from all decades and centuries featured in this book. Badged as ''the 250 names that intellectuals love to drop into conversation'' this book features quotes and biographical titbits covering big names from every sector – science, the arts, philosophy.

|title=Busy: How to Thrive in a World of Too Much
|rating=5
|genre=Lifestyle
|summary=Serendipity often brings you to the important books. Recently I heard myself say to a friend: ''I'm far too busy to do some of the important stuff''. It pulled me up short: there was definitely something wrong here - and then I had the opportunity to listen to an audio download of ''Busy'' and I knew that it was something I ''had'' to do and take notice of if I was to stop going ''backwards''. Because that was what I was doing.
