Have a look at one of my previous posts on page 1 for Q14.
I found this yesterday, but edited them all in one post rather than add another one.

I fancy Susie Boyt's book about Judy Garland for Q25 - but can't confirm it.

Homeburd - I think in 26, swap out Nadine Gordimer's "The Conservationist" and replace with Yann Martel's "Life of Pi"

Great effort to bring all the answers together.:beer:

I think you might be right with that one, have a look at the article in the times http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/non-fiction/article4827228.ece

Thanks


Sorry should have added the quote 'and to sit in Judy's own bathtub in Grand Rapids. “For a second I consider removing my clothes, but I'm not insane.” near the bottom of the article -

So that makes Q25:

My Judy Garland Life by Susie Boyt

Thanks to GazMc64 for confirming this.

Many thanks to all who contributed - I think we have answers to all the questions now.

Correction

Answer to Q.10 Should read "James Bond (in Sebastian Faulks "Devil May Care")

The Alison Weir bio of Henry VIII appears to have first been published in 2001 - link - it was a paperback version that was released this year. Sorry to bump (& add this) so late - but I think it would be better to go for David Starkey's Henry: Virtuous Prince.
