To celebrate publication of his first ever non-fiction title this Thursday, Mike Gayle  is writing a hilarious new year blog.  He has set himself a new to-do list with a task for every day in January, and is recording all his triumphs and disasters as they happen - check it out NOW

 If you would like to set Mike any tasks do let me know by emailing me here. The best one will win a signed copy of the book.

Congratulations to Beatrice Colin for being chosen for the Richard and Judy Book Club 2009 with her novel The Luminous Life of Lilly Aphrodite.

Beatrice Colin’s debut novel is a page-turning literary historical novel, set in Berlin from 1900 to 1940, about an orphan girl and her rise from poverty and anonymity to film stardom, all set against the glitteringly seductive rise and the devasting fall of Berlin, the background to WWI, the debauchery of the Weimar era, the run-up to WWII, and the innovations in art and industry that accompanied it all.
