|title=How the Library (Not the Prince) Saved Rapunzel

|author=Wendy Meddour and Rebecca Ashdown

|rating=4.5

|genre=For Sharing

|summary=When I'm not reading books, or being a mum, I'm busy being a librarian, so of course I wanted to read this book! Poor Rapunzel is down in the dumps. As the story tells us, ''she had nowhere to go, she had nothing to prove''. If this were an adult story she'd be diagnosed with depression, but since we're in the realm of pictures books we merely see a queue of people who drop by to visit Rapunzel, asking her to let down her hair so that they can deliver things to her or come by and visit who fail completely to entice her out of her flat, or for her to let down her hair to let them in. What is it she is waiting for? Is she just on hold until her handsome prince comes by?

|title=Robert Crowther's Pop up Dinosaur Alphabet

|summary=Pink. Glitter. Magic. Right from the start this book has all the ingredients needed to be a hit with little girls. I hate to stereotype but there’s no denying it with this one. From the author of ''Angelina Ballerina'' comes the first in a new, rather magical series.

~~|title=The Woman Who Stole My Life~~

~~|author=Marian Keyes~~

~~|rating=4.5~~

~~|genre=Women's Fiction~~

|summary=Stella is an author working on her second book. Though now back in Ireland, she talks of a life in New York. It sounds fabulous. But something has changed. Whatever it is, we’re not sure. Maybe the mighty have fallen, the stars have stopped colliding. Either way, that adventure is over as the book starts. It’s not where the story starts, though, and we’re soon plunged back into the past, with the events that have lead Stella to this point. First on the list, a serious illness, without which nothing that followed would have happened, or at least not in the way it did. This may sound confusing but the book is anything but, and despite its great length, I sped through it.
