Theme Book Of the Month
October is a traditionally wet and miserable month (in Northern Europe at least), so this October we are escaping to the desert, for the opposite extremes. Maybe the tales you nominate, set in deserts ranging from the classic hot sand dunes of the Sahara to the cold dry Atacama Desert or even the polar desert of Antarctica, will remind us to be grateful for the rain and reasonable temperatures!
Nominations will be open until 27 August, UK evening

Inspired by the World Wheel, the mods decided to spread the Mexican vibes far and wide with a new cheese for all!Monterey Jack
Monterey Jack originated in the Mexican Franciscan friars of Monterey, California. Around the 1700s, these monasteries around the Monterey region were making a semi-firm, creamy, mild-flavoured cheese from cow’s milk which was aged for a short period.
The high fat and moisture content in this California-born, semi-hard cheese helps it melt more smoothly than an ice cream cone in Death Valley, yet the mild flavour of this mild and creamy white cheese won't get in the way of other ingredients.
