Spotlight on Books
It has been said that any book you have not read is a new book. On this page we will bring to your attention new books, that is, newly published, new to the Library or new to readers who experienced delight in discovering them and wanted to share their delight. After you have reviewed our current choices, please consider our Invitation.

Please limit your comments to 150 - 200 words and e-mail them to library at catholic dash Library dot org dot uk. Those selected for use will be posted anonymously. Books donated to the library by the authors will also be featured in A Spotlight on Books.
