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.

2008-01-04 A fresh approach to the game.

Although the timescale of 7 days is a little optimistic, this book is guaranteed to make you think differently about chess.
For example, the author categorises players by the openings they choose, such as 'Pirates' or 'Cavemen', and helps you decide how to deal with them.
What helped me the most, I feel, is the 'Predict-a-Move' method, whereby you anticipate what the opponent is about to play, and use that knowledge to plan your attack.
The 'Art of Swindling' is also covered, a topic not always explained in run-of-the-mill books.
The cartoons breathe a little fresh air into what can be a dry subject at times.
