Sinatra: The Untold Story
by Michael Munn. Ever since I was a teenager I have had an obsession with the Rat Pack era (have a large framed picture of the Rat Pack in front of a pool table in front of me right now!) and I just had to buy this book to find out more!The Forbidden Temple
by Patrick Woodhead. I love books that have secrets or places that are forbidden so this book was a must for me to pick up!Losing You
by Nicci French. This was a hardback that I bought for 99p (about $1).... BARGAIN!The Girls: A Novel
by Lori Lansens. This book is all about sisters and relationships.... The read up on the back sounded great....13 Little Blue Envelopes (rpkg)
by Maureen Johnson. The idea for this story is brilliant. Similar to PS I love you by Cecelia Ahern but at the same time seems different... Looking forward to reading this one.. Definitely going to push this up to the top of the 'to read' pile....16 Lighthouse Road (Cedar Cove)
by Debbie Macomber. This is the only book that I could find written by her in the store but I loved the idea that she has written stories relating to where people live... Playing for Pizza
by John Grisham. Another John Grisham to add to my collection. On reading the back of this one it does seem a little different to the type of books that he usually writes so this one will definitely be interesting...I hope you enjoyed my hauls (I definitely did!!)... I can definitely say that I won't be buying any more books for a while until my to read pile gets a little lower!
I hope you chaps are having a great week so far...
Best wishes.

I've been intending to get 13 little blue envelopes as I saw it in a bookshop while visiting my dad and brother. The conceot of the book was something I thirst for in fiction. Let me know how it reads.
What is Nicc French like as a writer?
Hi Blair! Thank you very much for your comment. I can't wait to read 13 Little Blue Envelopes! I have nearly finished the book I am on so I might pick that one up next....
Nicci French is really good at building suspense in a story. Nicci French is a man and woman writing team (Nicci Gerrard and Sean French) and they know how to keep you on the edge of your seat..... If I were to recommend a good story to start with, I would choose 'What to do When Someone dies'. I have a review on this blog if you would like to know more.
Happy reading!
Can't wait to see if you like the Sinatra book! I LOVE Frank Sinatra. That era is so amazing and the music is perfection.
I have 13 Little Blue Envelopes, too, but haven't yet read it. I read a story by Maureen Johnson in "Let It Snow" and liked her writing, so decided to read more of her work.
Hi Dawn! I think that is going to be my next book.... The title of the book intrigues me....there's something I don't know and I want to find out what it is!
