Greg Behrendt & Liz Tuccillo: He’s Just Not That Into You: Only read if you haven’t fallen into the traps yourself.
Susannah Fullerton & Anne Harbers (editors): Jane Austen, Antipodean Views: Nice to know that I’m not the only Australian Austenite.
Rob Gifford - China Road (A Journey Into The Future Of A Rising Power): Following ancient Silk Road, to understand mentality of modern China.
Pete Jordan - Dishwasher: Antidote to materialism, washing dishes to travel, unencumbered by possessions.
Kyle MacDonald - One Red Paperclip: Trading story secondary to important advice of believing in oneself.
Russ Radcliffe (editor) - Best Australian Political Cartoons 2007: Excellent collection of caricatures, no one is exempt from mockery!
Eva Rice - Who’s Who In Enid Blyton: A trip back to childhood, with pixies, goblins, and Moon-face!
Jordan Tate - The Contemporary Dictionary of Sexual Euphemisms: Surprisingly stomach-turning for someone crude. Complete with graphic pictures!
Anna Warwick (editor) - Dating Disasters: Horror date stories makes your life feel that bit rosier.
Kim Wilson - Tea With Jane Austen: Examination of tea culture in Regency England, with Austen references.

Sam Baker - Fashion Victim: Potential for greatness, but doesn’t live up to ‘thriller’ tag.
Sophie Gee - The Scandal of the Season: Alexander Pope, renowned poet, in a web of court intrigue.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008): Hard to feel sympathy for a protagonist who’s a loser.

2) Is Amazon buying a few.
