If you adore Paris and love
eating out, this is a must read.
A thrilling and compelling
account of working in the
demanding and competitive
culinary world of one of the
most beautiful cities in the world.

war correspodent Marie Colvin.
An account of a courageous,
complex and incredible journalist.
She is an inspiration to

The heartbeaking account of
the life of Dasani Coates, a
young girl with great imagination.
Dasani and her extended family
lived in poverty, living in
a
number of homeless shelters. A
masterpeice in reporting as we

struggles of a family who
endure severe hardships.
4 / A Good Drinker

The popular broadcaster and
columnist sets out to discover the
unsung pleasures of drinking
in
moderation. It's not a book to
tell us to give up drinking
alltogether but an amusing
tale
of how we should look at
our drinking habits. Funny and
thought provoking. I loved it.
5 / The Game

A laugh-out-load expose of what
it is to be a modern premier
league footballer. Micah shares
his funniest and frankest
stories
from on and off the pitch. He

Far better than other sporting
biographies you are going
