making your mind up
15 journalers for this copy...
Now it is here I have to find the time to read it. I am sure it will be read quite soon ...even though I have some older books of her still on my tbr. I intend then on sending it out on a bookring...
Please try and read and send this book on within a month. If you need longer please make a new journal so we know the book is still in action!
When you are finished with the book please PM the next person on the list and ask for their address so you can send it on to them!
I would appreciate a PM from any participant who wants to leave the ring or be skipped for any reason. Please do not leave it to the last minute.
Also let us know what you thought of the book but don't give too much away!
The order may change to accommodate for the postal preferences of the ring members.
Lastly if you have nicer bookcrossing labels or stickers then decorate the book a little! Also stick a postcard from your country in with a message! Could be fun :)
This Bookring is still open! Pm if you would like to join!

I won't write anything about the story itself as this book will be going off on a bookring. However I will say that the 'ashes' part must have been adapted from 'Desperate Housewives'.
Will be sending this off as soon as I have some more participants.
Lottie Carlyle isn't looking for love when she meets her new boss, Tyler Klein. Living in a beautiful cottage with her two adorable - sometimes - kids in an idyllic village in the Cotswolds, on good terms with her ex-husband and with friends all around, she's happy enough with her lot. But Tyler's perfect for Lottie and quickly she falls for him - and he for her. Unfortunately, there's a problem. For reasons that are totally unfair, Lottie's children hate Tyler. When a rival for Lottie's affections comes on the scene in the shape of charmer Seb, the children adore him, and he's certainly a distraction. But he's not Tyler - and he's not even at all what he seems. Lottie's got a problem - but thanks, in classic Jill Mansell style, to a tobogganing accident and a delicious series of mix-ups, all will be revealed and true love will find a way.
This latest paperback from Jill Mansell is at least as good as if not better than her previous titles. A perfect read for a sunny afternoon or two!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
En route to MystikNat in the UK.
Another enjoyable Mansell, but I think I must have been zonked when finishing it as a the ending felt a little rushed and not all fireworks as I find her books are at the end. Lots of LOL moments as usual, and colourful characters!
But I liked it all the same and it was definitely a nice read! :oD

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Well, I wasn't disappointed. A fast moving, light hearted story just right for a bit of escaping. Very Marian Keyes(ish). Only part I didn't go for was the sappy, too good to be true relationship between Cressida and Tom. But...it didn't take anything away from the story---and I actually wished Mansell would have delved further into their story. Maybe she will in a future book??
Mailed off today to southernfryed. Hope you enjoy! And thanks, Amberkatze for starting the ring!
This book is now on it's way to Mochagirl.
I've sent bargainqueen a PM to double-check her address, and the book will hopefully be on its way again quite soon.
Thanks Amberkatze for organising the ring and southernfryed for sending the book to me :)

And thank you bargainqueen for all the little surprises you added in the envelope!
