|title=Doctor Who: 11 Doctors, 11 Stories
|author=Eoin Colfer, Michael Scott and others

|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=It's basic knowledge that Doctor Who has changed a lot since first being seen fifty years ago – and I don't mean the title character, but the nature of the programme. It has gone from black and white, and cheaply produced, and declared disposable, to being an essential part of the BBC, full-gloss digital, and accessed in all manner of ways. So with the celebratory programme still ringing in our ears, and leaving people pressing a red button to see a programme about three Doctors, er, pressing a red button, we turn to other aspects of the birthday bonanza. Such as this book, which has also mutated in its much shorter lifespan, from being a loose collection of eleven short e-book novellas written by the blazing lights of YA writing, to a huge and brilliant paperback collecting everything within one set of covers.

|title=Of Lions and Unicorns: A Lifetime of Tales from the Master Storyteller
|summary=''Black Vodka'' is a collection of ten previously published short pieces of writing by Deborah Levy, many first published in the early 2000s.

As a compilation of her writing, obviously these were not written to appear together, but some clear themes emerge from the collection, namely a deeply disturbing look at the search for love, particularly amongst those on the edge of society
