The Brutal Artby Jesse Kellerman
Sucked into an investigation four
decades cold, Ethan will uncover a
secret legacy of shame and death, one
that will touch horrifyingly close to
home - and leave him fearing for his
own life.
The Suspicions of Mr
Whicherby Kate Summerscale
This true story has all the hallmarks of
a classic gripping murder mystery. A
body, a detective, a country house
steeped in secrets and a whole family
of suspects - it is the original Victorian
whodunnit.
The Gargoyleby Andrew Davidson
As she spins her tale, Scheherazade
fashion, and relates equally
mesmerising stories of deathless love
in Japan, Greenland, Italy and England,
he finds himself drawn back to life -
and, finally, to love.
When Will There Be Good
News?by Kate Atkinson
Detective Chief Inspector Louise
Monroe is also looking for a missing
person, unaware that hurtling towards
her is an old friend - Jackson Brodie -
himself on a journey that becomes
fatally interrupted.
The 19th Wifeby David Ebershoff
Bold, shocking and gripping, The 19th
Wife expertly weaves together these
two narratives: a pageturning literary
mystery and an enthralling epic of love
and faith.
The Bolterby Frances Osborne
Osborne tells the moving tale of
betrayal and heartbreak behind
Sackville's road to scandal and return,
painting a dazzling portrait of high
society in the early twentieth century.
Netherlandby Joseph O'Neill
Netherland is a novel of belonging and
not belonging, and the uneasy state in
between. It is a novel of a marriage
foundering and recuperating, and of
the shallows and depths of male
friendship. With it, Joseph O'Neill has
taken the anxieties and uncertainties of
our new century and fashioned a work
of extraordinary beauty and brilliance.
The Luminous Life of Lilly
Aphroditeby Beatrice Colin
Gripping and darkly seductive, The
Luminous Life of Lilly Aphrodite
showcases all the glitter and splendor of
the brief heyday of the Weimar Republic,
and the rise of Hollywood to its golden
age. As it foreshadows the horrors of the
Second World War, the novel asks what
price is paid when identity becomes
unfixed and the social order is upended.
Decemberby Elizabeth H Winthrop
A compelling, ultimately uplifting novel
about a family in crisis, showing the
delicate web that connects a husband
and wife, parents and children, and
how easily it can tear.
The Cellist of Sarajevoby Steven Galloway
Told with immediacy, grace and
harrowing emotional accuracy, The
Cellist of Sarajevo shows how, when
the everyday act of crossing the street
can risk lives, the human spirit is
revealed in all its fortitude - and frailty.
Ten publications have been chosen byTV hosts Richard and Judy fordiscussion in their book club on digitalchannel Watch. The books will befeatured from 21st January.

Ossett Trinity A.R.L.F.C. was formed inFebruary 1958 and because the club did nothave a clubhouse various public houses inthe Ossett area were used as headquartersup to the mid 90s. In 1995, a grant from thelottery and some funding from the localauthority provided sufficient finance forbuilding materials, which enabled the thencommittee, players and volunteers (includingprofessional tradesmen) to build the existingclubhouse, which was completed in 1996.An extension was added to the building and
completed early in 2008, the project beingfinanced through various fund raising effortsby committee, players and volunteers. Theplaying area and ground on which the clubstands are on long-term lease fromWakefield Metropolitan District Council. Theextension has provided an increased area tothe lounge, a well-equipped kitchen andbeer cellar and the clubhouse is now one ofthe finest facilities for sporting and socialevents in the area. Membership is availableto the general public.

Window dressing is one of themost crucial aspects of theinterior decoration of any home.As the window is so often thefocal point within a room, surelyit’s treatment deserves theupmost in care and attention.
The Hostingley Farm free range turkey made
last year’s Christmas dinner a huge success,
and provided delicious succulent meat for
sandwiches for days afterwards.
Since we enjoyed the turkey so much, Lynne
Lindley persuaded us to try one of their free
range geese this year, and it definitely lived up
to expectation.
After careful consideration about whether I
could tuck in after seeing the geese running
around the field earlier, my arm was twisted by
hubby and daughter who prefer goose to
turkey anyway and the thought of potatoes
roast in goose fat clinched it!
Cooking the goose was left to hubby, who
made a sterling job of it. The goose has to be
roasted on a rack above the roasting tin, to
allow the fat (and there’s a lot of it!) to drain
away. We collected about two big bowls of fat
which we drained off, but it has to be said that
the goose didn’t taste the slightest bit fatty. It
has a lovely full taste, slightly ‘gamey’, but
thoroughly delicious, and the lovely crispy skin
was fought over before it had a chance of
reaching the dinner table - definitely naughtly
but nice.
The meat was much darker than turkey
breast, as you would expect, so that may put
some people off, but I can reassure you that
goose was a
great
alternative to
turkey for
Christmas and
I suspect will
be requested
next year.
Full marks
again to Hostingley
Farm and thank you
to Lynne for
suggesting goose.

PLANNING Avoid congested areasA little time spent planning your route can significantly reducethe time spent in the car. It’s arguably better to be on the move than stuck in heavytraffic.....plus it helps keep your blood pressure in check!!
PREPARATIONHave a clear out Remove all your unnecessary items from the back seat and inparticular your boot. Excess weight uses more fuel - an extra100lbs of weight can increase your fuel bill by 2%.Tyre PressureCheck your tyres to make sure that they are at therecommended level. Research shows that for every 6psi the
tyre is underinflated your fuel consumption increases by 1% -under inflated tyres can cause fuel consumption to increaseby as much as 6%.
ON THE MOVETake your time Harsh acceleration and heavy braking all contribute toexcessive fuel consumption and can consume up to 30%more fuel. Accelerate slowly and smoothly and then get intohigh gear as quickly as possible,Slow down Driving at a reduced speed will undoubtedly help with the fuelconsumption of your vehicle. As a rule anything over 3000revs makes your car less fuel efficient. Driving at 70mph asopposed to 50mph can consume 25% more fuel so reduceyour speed and drive steadily.Parking Parking the car is everybody’s least favourite manoeuver but ifyou can get into the habit of reversing your car into a parkingspace you could save fuel and money. Your car is far lessefficient when cold and consumes much more fuel whenreversing. Reverse into the bay when parking up so that youcan simply drive away forwards when you leave.Air ConditioningUse your air conditioner sparingly. Using you vehicle’s airconditioner on a hot summer day can increase fuelconsumption as much as 10% in city driving. At low speeds,opening the window will reduce fuel consumption by reducingAirCon use. At higher speeds however, using the AirCon maybe more efficient than the wind resistance from open windowsand sunroof.
MAINTENANCEServicingService your vehicle regularly. A poorly tuned engine can useup to 50% more fuel and produces up to 50% more emissionsthan one that is running properly. And clogged, dirty air filterscan cause up to a 10% increase in fuel consumption.Tighten the Fuel CapAlways tighten the cap to the second click to prevent fuelevaporating. It’s estimated that loose, missing or damaged fuelcaps cause 147 million gallons of fuel to evaporate every year.Happy and efficient motoring!
