|author=Charlotte Rampling, Christophe Bataille and William Hobson (translator)
|title=Who I Am
|rating=3.5
|genre=Autobiography
|summary=I'll drop all pretence of plot summary, and set the stall out, just as this book does. Here's a quote from page one – Who I Am: ''not a biography''. With the name of one of cinema's most esteemed actresses on the front, you might assume it to be an autobiography for a start, but before that quote we'll already have been disabused of that thought, for apart from a couple of quotes the first six and a half pages of the book is addressed ''to'' Charlotte Rampling, and not apparently by her. There are gnomic paragraphs and lyrics here, in italics that suggest they are direct quotes, leaving the rest of the text here to be both a collaborative look at the star's background, and a musing perusal of the nature of creating the book in the first place. And that stall I was setting out certainly doesn't have the right number of legs if I don't mention this book can be read in well under an hour.

|author=Peter Korn
|summary= I wasn't sure what to expect when I asked for this book to review. It claims on the front cover to be ''not exactly a memoir'', and it isn't. Yet, also, it kind of is. In fact, I would struggle to describe or decipher exactly what it is. It is so unlike any book I've ever read before.

|author=Alastair Fraser
|title=Forestry Flavours of the Month: The Changing Face of World Forestry
|rating=4.5
|genre=Business and Finance
|summary=Alastair Fraser's experience of forestry spans more than five decades and having the benefit of the long view he's ideally placed to consider the changes which have occurred over the course of his career. He also has the ability, not as common as it ought to be amongst professionals, of being able to look at what he does both from the point of view of the business ''and'' the people who work in it and are affected by it. There's a lack of tunnel vision too: he sees what's happening in forestry both in the narrow focus and where it sits globally so far as economics and politics are concerned.
