Advantages: Pleasing storyline Disadvantages: Some characters a little weak.
I like to read books from various genres and sometimes there is nothing more appealing than a nice, easy-to-read chick-lit book, especially if I am going on holiday. It was searching for holiday reading that had me in Tesco, perusing the shelves for something light and entertaining. I spotted The BeachHouse by Jane Green and thought it would probably be ideal. It was part of an offer, 2 for £7. The cover design is simple with the title set against a metallic turquoise background with small nautical illustrations.
The Author
Jane Green is an English born author who now lives in America. She is synonymous with the chick-lit genre and I have often seen her books about. I only recall reading Mr Maybe and Babyville and both of those were a long time ago but I was sure I had enjoyed them so had not qualms about buying ...
Advantages: Heart thumpingingly exciting Disadvantages: No Alex Cross!
Jack discovers that Peter has over $200,000 in his bank account, he realises that Peter wasn't just parking cars for a living.
The BeachHouse reveals the secret lives of the rich and powerful in a breathtaking account of revenge and sexual intrigue. The plot is so absorbing and the end so shocking that only James Patterson could have imagined such a story.
James writes this with Peter De Jonge, who aided on Miracle on the 17th Green. This is a really on the edge of your seat read, and you won't be able to put it down. Even when reading you may think you know what's happened or how it's going to end, but James Patterson will always surprise you.
I bought this in hardback for about £8. The front cover is blue at the top, representing the sky and lower down there is a picture of a beachhouse on sandy shores. The Title and Author ...
Advantages: no advertising, great music Disadvantages: internet only
www.BeachHouseRadio.com - A great chillout radio station. I've been listening for quite a while now and there doesn't seem to be any advertising at all.
You will recognise some of the tracks but I have found some artists I had never heard of before too who are pretty cool. The website looks smart and there are loads of pictures and stuff to check out from the various festivals they have been reporting from. It looks like they are trying to do something on You Tube as well but not quite sure what, looks like it could be in its early stages.
All in all, it's one of the best chillout stations I've found and having no adverts certainly improves the listening experience. Perfect for Sunday morning with a coffee and a croissant! ...
