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.

Ever wonder why some partners seem to be able to read each other's minds? Why they are so successful at anticipating the other's intentions, avoiding all pitfalls and traps, and seem to win every time? The answer is that they are not usually guessing - by learning defensive signals it is possible for even novice players to drastically improve their game. Defence is the most difficult part of bridge, but it can be made easier by using signals to help Partner along the way to success. The book will enable readers to use, recognise and understand all the standard defensive signals used in bridge and to gain an awareness of alternative methods.

2007-11-26 This is very good, but very complicated

Most club players who use defensive signals will probably have 2 or 3 in their repetoir, which they will regularly use.
This book covers plenty more than that. However, it is very technical, and taking me an age to read and understand.
Unless you really want something technically very advanced (and remember your partner has to understand all your signals too!) I suggest reading the signals section of Mendelson's "Play your Cards Right" for starters. After you've mastered those with a regular partner, then you can contemplate reading this book (but as I said earlier, it's no use knowing lots of signals your partner doesn't understand, so make sure your partner reads it too, and you discuss in depth!)
