We all miss Terry Pratchett. A lot.This is the next best thing - the winner of the inaugural Terry Pratchett Anywhere But Here, Anywhen But Now Prize. And deservedly so.Read it now before Simon Pegg makes it into a moo-vie.

Dark yet beautiful, far reaching but still intimate, and being hailed as O'Brien's masterpiece, this is a powerful novel about migration and reinvention, small lives and big issues. Marvelous for book groups, and my book of the year.
In prose as sparse and rugged as the Lakeland fells, Rebanks takes us through the year of sheep farming in this idyllic corner of Britain. A memoir of the hardships of the farming life, it is also a moving testament to the value of tradition, rural community, and shared land over tourism and cultural urbanism.

I don't quite know exactly what this is but I'm in awe. Biography or Etsy shop? Scrapbook and photo album or feminist polemic? Either way RBG and her legions of admirers win my ardent admiration for her life work and their creativity.

The joys and benefits of the horse-human relationship have long been espoused, but here, natural horseman Hayes goes a step further into the scientific and clinical reasons behind the success of therapeutic horsemanship programs. Wounded Warriors, autistic youth, those who have suffered domestic abuse are some of those who have been emotionally transformed by relationships with horses. Fascinating reading which should turn any skeptic into a lifelong horse lover, I hope.

Momo the Corgi says: - This is my favorite book this year. A brave corgi chases after a lost hat blown by a gust of wind around all the sights of London.... oh the Queen's in it too. I'd catch that hat and teach it a lesson. Wruf!

The task of reintroducing wolves to northern Britain proves to be challenging on several political levels. Sarah Hall delivers a magical tale of an inspiring Eco mission that is also fraught with domestic angst yet maintains the ethereal mystery of the wolves in question.

This is a skillfully unfurled story; a taut psychological thriller with an increasing sense of menace featuring a noseyparker, a spy, a “connoisseur” of people’s private lives who is possibly the creepiest character you’ve ever met. Don’t just lock your doors, change the locks too!
