|isbnauthor=0753553236Stuart Douglas|title=Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything|author=B J Fogg|rating=5|genre=Lifestyle|summary=Go on, admit it Lowe and Le Breton Mysteries - you're not quite perfect. You still have those odd, quirky even loveable (to you) habits which seem to annoy other people. Other people, of course, are sorely afflicted with some dreadful flaws which they could so easily correct, if only they would make just a little bit of effort. Or put another way, I get cross with myself because I forget to do things or do some actions more than I should and no matter how I try to make what seem to be quite monumental changes I never quite seem to get to grips with Death at the concepts. I constantly fail and then I get cross with myself for failing. Lack of willpower is another burden to add to the list.}} {|class-"wikitable" cellpadding="15" =='''7 JANUARY 2020'''=={{Frontpage|author=Leigh Bardugo, Louise Simonson and Kit Seaton|title=Wonder Woman: Warbringer: The Graphic NovelDress Rehearsal|rating=3|genre=Teens|summary=Diana, being unique on her island, is the victim of a lot of taunts, and claims of nepotism.

|author= Catherine Steadman|title= Mr Nobody|rating= 4|genre= Thrillers|summary= Don't you just hate it when people are multiKieran Larwood and Joe Todd-talented? Author Catherine Steadman is both a successful actress and writer, with this her second novel. I think in a way her acting background shows in her writing as to my mind the 'fight scene' at the end was somewhat unrealistic – you know the kind where the hero has been hurt so many times that it's virtually impossible they'd still be alive let alone able to fight off an attacker. The story also unfolded at a steady pace throughout until the ending which felt overstuffed in a frenetic bid to wrap everything up in the last few chapters. It was almost as if the author wanted to keep the suspense until the last possible moment (which I liked) but then was somewhat left with too much to do in the closing stages.|isbn=1984890646}} |} =='''15 JANUARY'''=={{Frontpage|author=Tanya LandmanStanton|title=Jane EyreDungeon Runners: a Retelling|rating=5|genre=Teens|summary=A young woman, fresh from living with horrid relatives who could care less about her, and years in a dreary school, moves into Thornfield Hall with only one intent – to have something like the life she wants – and with only one job, to tutor a young half-French girl, whose father is almost always absent. When he does turn up he seems to be dark, brooding and troubled – but that's nothing compared to the darker, more broody and even more troubled secret in the house. Yes, if you know Jane Eyre then you know the rest – but if you don't, for whatever reason, this is a wonderful book to turn to.|isbn=1781129126}}{{Frontpage|author=Penny Chrimes|title=Tiger HeartHero Trial|rating=4.5
