Others in the line-up include The Two Week Wait by Sarah Rayner (Pan Macmillan); Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor (Hodder); One on One by Craig Brown; (HarperCollins); Bereft by Chris Wormesley (Quercus;) and Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out Of The Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson (Hesperus).

The Waterstones Quarterly Book Club began in January with the strapline: "Books you will love or your money back", and the featured titles all have a discount, which is to be confirmed.
Kate Skipper, campaign manager at Waterstones, said the company was so far pleased with how the promotion was running. "We are thrilled by the reception that's been given to our Book Club," she said. "It's a great way of highlighting some of the key titles that we think will really appeal to Waterstones customers.
