Copycat by Alex Lake is a great psychological thriller full of twists and turns that will mess with your mind. It’s a disturbing story of revenge written at a good pace with interesting characters. I admit it’s not the best psychological thriller I have ever read but it’s pretty good and well worth a few hours of your time.

My thanks to the publisher, HarperCollins UK, via NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.
  
I haven’t read any of Stuart Neville’s books before but I have heard good things so was pleased when I was sent an ecopy of “Those We Left Behind” from NetGalley and the Publisher - Random House UK / Vintage Publishing, in return for an honest review and I certainly wasn't disappointed.

My review can be found on my blog - http://readingstuffnthings.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/those-we-left-behind-by-stuart-neville.html - please feel free to stop by :)

I guess most on here are in US? I’m a Teaching Assistant in Year 6 (UK). I cover teachers absence and admin time - often reading aloud to the class. Last year I worked with year 4 Monday pm and read Michael Morpurgo books including The Dancing Bear, Mr Nobody’s Eyes and Running Wild. I found them rather dry, hard to get engagement from the class. I am interested to hear recommendations for books for KS2 children.

Known in the UK as <i>Much Obliged, Jeeves</i>, this is the penultimate of PG Wodehouse's Jeeves books (the last being <i>Aunt's aren't Gentlemen</i>). This one features his <quote/unquote> 'deserving Aunt Dahlia' as opposed to his Aunt Agatha, and also features a previously-unknown-to-the-reader old school friend of Bertie Wooster in Ginger Winship.

Cue the usual romantic entanglements and sheenanigans!

(oh, and we also find out Jeeves first name (it's Reginald))

Real life
Violence, drugs, suicide. Welcome to the world of a prison doctor
The book is a real life account of a prison doctor who is treating patients in UK prisons. It tells of the violence, drugs and heart ache of the inmates and how she helps and copes with the day to day of prison life. Parts of it are truly disturbing but other parts made me smile. It is very moving and yet very readable
