Thanks for all the suggestions and apologies for taking so long to edit them into the list in my OP. I've had a rotten few months with a lot on my plate, hence my absence.

Anyway, the list is up to date again. :)

The above list is about a year out of date, many more than that in the collection, but it might give you some ideas for stuff to buy

These are great lists, thanks all.

I read "Last Light" by Alex Scarrow recently and I'm currently enjoying "After Light". Great books!
Before that I read The Survivor Chronicles by Erica Stevens, not bad at all, and "The Age of Miracles" by Karen Walker Thompson is a different take.

Almost finished last light, absolutely brilliant! The author is spot on, he obviously really has researched the subject.
Now cold camp, I can't find it anywhere! Could someone please point me in the right direction?
