"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Harry Potter 6)", the sixth book in J.K. Rowling’s bestselling series, picks up shortly after we left Harry at the end of "The Order of the Phoenix". Lord Voldemort has been creating chaos in the Wizard and Muggle communities alike, the war is in full swing and the Wizarding community now lives in fear. Harry is at the Dursleys, where the impending visit from his Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, weighs on his mind. But Harry's anxiety is nothing compared to Hermione’s when the OWL results are delivered. But gone is the rage-filled Harry - he’s not being kept in the dark any more, his unjustified Quidditch ban has been lifted and he has matured considerably. Accepting his destiny, Harry continues to behave as teenagers do, while also learning more about how he must, eventually, do what he is destined to do. |

Welcome to a new way of dieting. The Glycaemic Index diet has long been used by people with diabetes to manage their weight and regulate their blood sugar, and it is now recommended as a safe, healthy and permanent way for anyone – including Kylie, Bill and Hilary Clinton, Steve Redgrave and Naomi Campbell – to shed pounds. Proven to be far more effective in the long-term than any other diet, the GI Diet does not eliminate any food groups. This means that not only is it a healthy approach to weight-loss, but you are far less likely to ‘fall off the wagon’ due to food cravings. "Antony Worrall Thompson's GI Diet" includes a full introduction to the Glycaemic Index and 120 fantastic recipes, with luscious colour photography. This is the diet you have been waiting for! |

Though some will quibble with the veracity of Dan Brown's conjectures, "The Da Vinci Code"s an enthralling read that provides rich food for thought. Robert Langdon, Harvard Professor of symbology, receives an urgent call while in Paris: the curator of the Louvre has been murdered. Alongside the body is a series of baffling ciphers. Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Da Vinci - and further. The curator may have sacrificed his life to keep secret the location of a vastly important religious relic hidden for centuries. It appears that the clandestine Vatican-sanctioned Catholic sect Opus Dei has now made its move. Unless Landon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the pieces of the puzzle, the Priory's secret - and a stunning historical truth - will be lost forever. |
