How to Kill Your Husband and other Handy Household Hints by Kathy Lette

All women want to kill their husbands some of the time "Where there's a will, I intend to be in it," wives half-joke to each other.

Marriage, it would appear, is a fun-packed frivolous hobby, only occasionally resulting in death. ut when Jazz Jardine is arrested for her husband's murder, the joke falls flat.

Life should begin at 40 - not with life imprisonment for killing your spouse.

Jazz, stay-at-home mum and domestic goddess; Hannah, childless career woman; and Cassie, demented working mother of two are three ordinary women.

Their record collections are classical, not criminal. Cassie and Hannah set out immediately to prove their best friend's innocence, uncovering betrayal, adultery, plot twists, thinner thighs and toy boys aplenty en route but will their friendship survive these ever darker revelations?

Sexy, funny and wise, Kathy Lette's irresistible new novel is about women not Having It All But Doing It All.

It's about how today's mother is often a married lone parent. It's about the fact that no woman has ever shot her husband while he was vacuuming.

Rachel's Food for Living

What distinguishes Rachel Allen from so many other chefs is the way in which she appreciates that food must be integrated into our lives, rather than just being fuel or a way of showing off our culinary skills.

As Allen points out, food can be restorative, nurturing and emotionally fulfilling, even apart from its tastiness.

As she reminds us, the ritual of eating may be formalised or spontaneous, and the appreciation of the way in which we can approach food in different ways is very much at the heart of Rachel's Food for Living.

Horrid Henry and the Bogey Babysitter

"Brilliantly inventive and full of slapstick humour"

Review

Praise for Horrid Henry: "Francesca Simon's Horrid Henry is the last boy on earth you'd ever fancy, though he's utterly irresistable and weirdly familiar."

The Independent on Sunday "Francesca Simon has become a master of slapstick humour with her ever popular Horrid Henry series.

Children love the subversive nature and the sneekiness of the eponymous 'hero'." Birmingham Post "Long may this dreadful boy continue to terrorise all who know him.

He's a nightmare, but so entertaining." Parents Guide "The four stories in this book are laugh aloud funny. ... I can't help feeling that Francesca Simon had as much fun researching these stories as she gives to her young readers" Carousel

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking

For Blink, Malcolm Gladwell, author of the bestselling The Tipping Point explores the extraordinarily perceptive and deceptive power of the sub-conscious mind.

Gladwell's major claim is that decisions made very quickly can be every bit as good as a decision made cautiously and deliberately. What we are actually doing is what Gladwell calls 'thin-slicing'. When we leap to a decision or have a hunch our unconscious is sifting through the situation in front of us looking for a pattern, throwing out the irrelevant information and zeroing in on what really matters.

Our unconscious mind is so good at this that it often delivers a better answer than more deliberate and protracted ways of thinking.

Much of this is utterly mysterious but some of the most astonishing and useful examples of thin-slicing can be learned.

A Child Called 'It': One child's courage to survive

Dave Pelzer was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother, a mother who played tortuous, unpredictable games - games that left one of her three sons nearly dead.

She no longer considered Dave a son, but a slave; no longer a boy, but an 'it'. His bed was an old army cot in the basement, his clothes were torn and smelly, and when he was allowed the luxury of food it was scraps from the dog's bowl.

The outside world knew nothing of the nightmare played out behind closed doors. But throughout Dave kept alive dreams of finding a family to love him.

This book covers the early years of his life and is an affecting an inspirational book of the horrors of child abuse and the steadfast determination of one child to survive.

Before I Die by Jenny Downham

'Dealing frankly with teenage life, Before I Die will be the year's most talked-about novel''

A novel that won't fail to touch those who read it...will make you happy to be alive'

Novels for young teenagers do not usually feature drugs and casual sex within the first 20-odd pages. But most books for teenagers will not leave an adult reader's eyes so blurry with tears that it's hard to see the final chapters.

Jenny Downham's extraordinary first novel does both.

After River by Donna Milner

'She was expecting him. She wasn't expecting the heartache that would follow like a cold wind.'

Growing up on a dairy farm in the mountains of British Columbia in the 1960s, three kilometres north of the American border, Natalie Ward knew little of the outside world. But she had her family.

A family so close and loving that Natalie believed they were the envy of the nearby town of Atwood - particularly her eldest brother Boyer, whom Natalie held especially close to her heart.

But Natalie began to question her family's idyllic existence the summer she turned fifteen.

The arrival of a soft-spoken stranger, an American draft-dodger called River, would test the morals and beliefs of the family and the community to breaking point.

The series of events following that summer day would leave relationships shattered and the Ward family changed forever.
