Desirable Residence
11 journalers for this copy...
Liz and Jonathan Chambers were in trouble. They can’t sell their old house. Here they are, stuck with two mortgages, mounting debts and a miserable adolescent daughter who hadn’t wanted to move anyway. Then it seems Marcus Witherstone will solve all their problems. He knows the perfect tenants from London who will rent their old house – glamorous PR girl Ginny and almost-famous Piers. Everything is going to be OK.
But soon everyone’s entangled with everyone else, in the most awkward possible way. And as events closed in on him, Marcus began to realise that some deceptions are just a bit too close to home."

Here are the rules for the book ray:
1. Please journal as soon as you receive the book and again after you read it and mail it to the next person. This will help everyone else keep up with the book's current location.
2. Put the book at the top of your TBR pile (after the book that you are currently reading and any other rings/rays that arrived before this one.)
3. If you don't think you will be able to read this book within a reasonable time (approx. 1 month) after receiving it, please let me know before the book is mailed to you. I will be happy to move your name down on the list if needed.
4. After you read the book, please PM the next person on the list for their address. If you get the next person's address from RABCK.com, you may want to PM them just to ensure that the address has not changed.
5. Mail the book to the next person on the list using the cheapest shipping method available.
6. PM me if you have any problems with contacting the next person so I can help with trying to contact her/him.
7. The last person to receive the book should try to keep the book moving by ray-it-forward, RABCK/wishlist request to another Bookcrosser, if possible. Last resort, it is ok to wild-release. I just ask that you do not sell the book.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a very quick and fun read, and I'm excited to share it with other Bookcrossers. Now the book is off to start a bookray with yayajanuary in Indonesia. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did!
Have received this book as Book Ray from krl112. Thanks for the opportunity given to me to read the book :)
I will try to read it as fast as I could ;))
-------------------
Have finished reading it. The story line is different from the books I've read before.
As much as I pity Liz (the character in the book), my heart goes to Jonathan. And as much as I hate Anthea, I still feel deeply compassion toward her.
*confused what I've been babbling about here? just wait for your turn to read, hehehee... ;)
I maybe will be a bit late to mail the book, but please TRUST ME. I
will mail the book :)
