Updated 16 February to include more of the titles being reviewed by our writers this week, including poety as requested by DanHolloway

Tips, links and suggestions has returned to its weekly slot, but with a few changes. It's still the place where you can tell us what you'd like to see on the site, share book recommendations and links – however tenuously connected to books they may be – but in addition to all this, from today it's also where we publish a list of the books our critics will be reviewing and writing about over the coming week. We've decided to do this for two reasons. Firstly, to tell you the authors and books on our radar so you can let us know what we're missing, and secondly as an invitation for you to tell us about the books you're reading.

Here's a list of some of the books our writers will be reading this week (subject to last minute changes).
