'A little girl is sent to live indefinitely with her 'mother's people' - a childless couple on a farm in rural Ireland with apparently plenty of food and money to spare. ...Her happiness is short-lived, however, when a secret revealed by a neighbour threatens to destroy her childhood idyll. This is a beautifully written, sad and evocative story that is a must for anyone who enjoys good writing. I would have gladly stayed with the story for longer.'- Bobbie Ryan, Bray

The Help by Kathryn Stockett is without doubt this year's 'must read' and is now available in paperback at only €7.99.

He is arrested by the Armorian Interplanetary police and zipped through Cutspace to the Bucket, a notorious space prison where he sees video footage of himself committing the crime of which he is accused. Stanley Bound is in quite a pickle....

According to Mark Twain you should “be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint”. Maybe he realised that one day in the future, there would be more books written about health than you can shake a stick at. But apart from having a good laugh (something, by the way, that is essential for your wellbeing) you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the wide variety of books on every aspect of health and the wealth of useful information therein.
