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.

2007-04-29 Stone Love: A Donkey Learns He Loves His Family

The premise of "Sylvester and the Magic Pebble" is fascinating. Imagine picking up a stone for no other reason than it looked interesting. Such happens to Sylvester, a young donkey filled with familial angst.

As it turns out, the rock allows a wish, but Sylvester's selfish frustration wins out when he runs into a hungry lion, and he wishes he were a rock. He drops the stone, and begins the dreary life of a massive rock in a picnic area.

His parents are distraught. He aches for them, and they for him.

Will Sylvester again know the parental love only his mom and dad can offer after all he has done? Will his parents see again their joyful son?

The end is a happy one.

Every part of the book draws on fantasy, common childhood experiences, with excellent art and writing. William Steig earned his 1970 Caldecott Award on this one. Incidentally, he's also the author of the book, "Shrek!", on which the famous movie series is loosely based upon.

I fully recommend "Sylvester and the Magic Pebble," by William Steig.
