PERFECT CONFIDENCE by KELLY MARKS In her book “Perfect Confidence”, Kelly Marks invites horse lovers to join her on a journey of personal reflection regarding confidence and good horsemanship. Her down-to-earth and humorous style of writing affords the reader insights into her own discoveries in achieving success with people and horses. Already having two international best-sellers under the saddle, Kelly provides interesting case studies and assignments that cleverly nudge the reader to confront personal fears, grow in confidence and embrace a winning attitude. This is definitely more than “just another horse book” and from the horse's mouth …”it actually really does work!” 1001 PLACES TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE by GETAWAY Ever wonder what adventure waits just outside your doorstep? Here is your answer. Getaway's 1001 places to see before you die, offers an assorted selection of “must sees” and “must do's” that will open up a lifetime of experiences for you in Southern Africa. Travel journalists offer ideas as diverse as our continent, ranging from eating “boerewors” rolls outside Durban's rugby stadium before the Super 12, fresh water diving in Lake Malawi, to buying your very own pair of “veldskoene” from Wuppertal. Indeed, there are many places to go and things to do with this concise guide taking you beyond the obvious and well-known. Relevant contact numbers and websites are provided allowing exploration to be easily accessible and fun. Make this book your own as you jot down personal experiences in the “been there, done that” section. This is a coffee-table book too good to be left on the table! FRIDAY NIGHTS by JOANNA TROLLOPE This is an easy reading story about friends, families and relationships. Eleanor invites two young single mothers into her home one Friday night – the prequel to many Friday evenings spent together with friends, family and neighbors. The Friends of all backgrounds get on famously until the circle is broken by the arrival of a charming man. One who charms more than one of the Friday-nighters. The consequences of his involvement unfold in this story that has something for all ages. This one is definitely for book club selections. SILVERFIN by CHARLIE HIGSON Bond, James Bond! Got your attention? With his clever “Young Bond” series, Charlie Higson reminds us that our favorite spy once was a schoolboy at Eaton. What follows are page-turning adventures of James before he became a legend. “Silverfin” introduces James who – in true Bond style – meets enemy number one on his first day at Eaton. This sets him off on an adventure from the school playing fields to the secluded shores of Loch Finn. Terrifying discoveries and threats of a new breed of warfare set the scene for hair-raising reading. This is a fun book for younger readers – although parents also seem to join in on bedtime reading sessions when Bond, James Bond is on the case!
