Thinking Of You - The Ultimate Escapist Read
Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!

Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?

Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

The Essential How-to Book Illustrating the Management, Styling and Care of Black Children's Hair. In the black community, a girl whose hair was not done properly caught hell from playmates and their mothers alike. How a girl's hair looked told you a lot about "her people", so great care was taken in making sure the parts were straight and the braids neat. By the '70s and '80s, women who spent years becoming players in the business world, had daughters of their own. These women's mothers were no longer living nearby or with them, so they had to do their daughter's hair themselves, usually with disastrous results. It's All Good Hair is an essential guidebook for parents to style and care for Black children's hair - both boys and girls. This conversational, how-to book with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions features hair-care and styling tips from a variety of experts and includes photos and illustrations.

2004-01-12 Less of the pep talk

I would have found this book more useful if it had steered clear of the usual stuff about black people disliking their hair, and why they shouldn't. After all that 'pep talk', I was surprised to find a section at the back on how to relax children's hair. I was not interested in the personal stories either. I just wanted tips on how to wash, style and care for all types of black hair. Actually, the title is a bit of a giveaway, but this was the only near-suitable book I could find at the time.

These faults aside, this book is useful. The information about different types of black hair, from identifying curly to kinky, and how to wash and condition hair is great. The illustrations on how to create the various styles are clear too. Overall, between the waffle it is an informative book which gives you some inspiration on how to create styles in your own home.
