But how do you choose from the abundance of books on the market ...something old, something classic, something new?听 Well, the afternoon show is taking the hard work out of it with the help of our book expert, Brian Pattinson.听 Irish-born Brian has been bookselling in Oxford and Thame for over 30 years.听 Every month he will give us his top five favourite books.听 We want one person every month to review a book, which he will give you for your effort!

All you have to do is e-mail jointheafternoon@bbc.co.uk to tell us that you want to be on our book reviewers list.听 Then once you have read the book you just have to tell us what you think!听
