Alias Grace
8.  Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood

Mister Pip
9.  Mister Pip by Lloyd Jones

11.  David Copperfield: The Personal History of David Copperfield (Penguin Classics) by Charles Dickens

Atonement
12.  Atonement by Ian McEwan

Letter from America (Penguin Celebrations)
13.  Letter from America (Penguin Celebrations) by Alistair Cooke

Northern Lights (His Dark Materials)
14.  Northern Lights (His Dark Materials) by Philip Pullman
