Mini Shopaholic
By: SOPHIE KINSELLA
Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) thought motherhood would be a breeze and that having a daughter was a dream come true - a shopping friend for life. But it's trickier than she thought - two-year-old Minnie has a quite different approach to shopping. She can create havoc everywhere from Harrods to Harvey Nicks to her own christening.

Book Choice
Wait For Me
By: DEBORAH DEVONSHIRE
As Duchess of Devonshire, Debo played an active role in restoring and overseeing the day-to-day running of the family houses and gardens, and in developing commercial enterprises at Chatsworth. She tells poignantly of the deaths of three of her children, as well as her husband's battle with alcohol addiction. Wait For Me is enthralling and a total joy, full of the author's sympathetic wit (which she is not afraid to use on herself).

Book of the Week
What Caesar Did for My Salad
By: ALBERT JACK

Why do we eat goose (or turkey) at Christmas? This title is bursting with fascinating insights, characters and enough stories to entertain a hundred dinner parties.
