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 grandaddy of rock 'n' roll, the blues have mourned more dead dogs and no-good women than any other genre and are responsible for some of the most heart-felt tunes ever written. In "100 Tips For Blues Guitar", author and musician David Mead focuses on the styles and techniques associated with one of the guitar's longest-surviving and most-played genres. Via a series of illustrated exercises that work in combination with an accompanying CD, he tackles the problems associated with playing a form of music that stretches the harmonic boundaries of Western music tradition, covering subjects from choosing the right plectrum to executing the most accomplished finger roll this side of the Mississippi. With a thorough breakdown of the styles of the biggest names in the blues, including John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson and Howling Wolf, this should be a helpful guide for anyone with a guitar and a bottle of whiskey.

2003-10-28 An essential book from a master author

Dave Mead should be given some sort of noble prize for his services to guitar players. His books are without exception highly informative, very amusing and written with a genuine love of the instrument. This book on the blues is no exception.

The book offers a combination of historical insights into the origins of the music, stuff on rhythmn, harmony and also some backing tracks for you to jam along with. Thus it is a little different to the normal content which tends to just focus on licks and tricks and learning tab in the style of the masters.

Overall this is an absolutely essential book if you are series about the blues, with superb tips on techniques which can't fail to make you a better player. If you use this alongside a more standard work such as 'blues you can use' then you are well on the way to a producing a heavenly sound.
