		<description><![CDATA[Having thoroughly enjoyed Tony Park’s recent novel, African Dawn, I added his other novels to my wishlist – all of them set in Africa and sounding similarly exciting. He hasn’t written that many novels, so I decided to ration them so as to make the enjoyment of them last. My first purchase was The Delta. From www.curiousbookfans.co.uk]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago I was an avid reader of John Grisham books but recently seemed to lose interest in them. However, when I saw his latest book, The Litigators, it caught my interest and I decided to give him another go. I am really glad that I did as I really enjoyed this book and it has rekindled my interest in John Grisham so much so that he is now firmly back on my 'must read' list!

The Litigators seems to be a typical John Grisham legal thriller and courtroom drama where the little man takes on the big guns. From www.curiousbookfans.co.uk]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Browsing through new releases by publisher Quercus, a bright and bold cover caught my eye – African Dawn by Tony Park. The saying goes that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but this cover certainly served its purpose in attracting my attention to the blurb, which sounded like a novel I would enjoy. from www.curiousbookfans.co.uk]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers is the novel upon which the latest Pirates of the Caribbean film is based. Originally published in 2006, it has recently been re-released in paperback and Kindle format to coincide with the film’s release. As a fan of the movie series, when I happened upon Powers’ novel available for pre-order at a bargain price in the recent Kindle sale, I decided to give it a go.

Set in the 1700s, the main character is John Chandagnac, who is travelling from England to the Caribbean to track down his uncle, who conned his way into inheriting Chandagnac’s grandfathers whole estate, by claiming his brother, Chandagnac’s father, was dead. Aboard the ship, Chandagnac meets the lovely Beth Hurwood, but their friendship is interrupted by pirates – who force Chandagnac to join them or die. Among the pirates, he becomes Jack Shandy, and although he continues to hope for a chance to reclaim his fathers inheritance, he soon becomes embroiled in violence and magic, and the schemes of the infamous Blackbeard.

		<description><![CDATA[For Your Eyes Only is a collection of five James Bond short stories by Ian Fleming and was first published in 1960. Fleming had originally written the stories for a proposed series of Bond television adventures to be broadcast by CBS but that never transpired in the end. Two of the stories here were first published by Cosmopolitan and Playboy respectively. Although regarded to be an interesting offshoot from his series of Bond novels, For You Eyes Only is not generally regarded to be one of the strongest examples of Fleming's work.

		<description><![CDATA[From http://www.curiousbookfans.co.uk -  "Death on the Ice" is a substantial novel of some 560 pages that follows the Terra Nova Expedition from its origins in the Discovery voyage, through its build-up and preparations, to the conclusion we all know is coming, told with Scott and cavalry officer Captain Laurence Oates as the principal two characters. Starting from the 1901 Discovery expedition, it takes a long time for the narrative to actually reach the adventure it sets out to tell the story of, but while this makes the book feel almost more like a biography rather than a novel, this great amount of background leaves you feeling you know the main characters well by the time the fateful 1912 trip begins.]]></description>
