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.

A biography of the U.S. president explores Truman's brutal frontier childhood, his education, his dogged optimism, and his rise through the ranks of the Pendergast machine that controlled Missouri politics.

What a marvellous book. American biographers seem to have the knack of bringing history to life. Biographies of American political figures also have the advantage of not having the names of people change as they move up the aristocratic ladder!
McCullough does justice to the quite remarkable life of an unpretentious man from humble stock who succeeded Roosevelt at a critical time in world history. The decisions taken by Truman at that time set the course for the next sixty years.
Don't be put off by the length of the book. The quality of the writing, the anecdotes and the author's not always uncritical respect for his subject make it a joy to read.
