A Hopeless Romantic

Posted by Notcot on Jun 27, 2012 in Cult Film
A Hopeless Romantic

This is the warm and enchanting new novel from the bestselling author of “Going Home”. Laura Foster was a hopeless romantic. It was her greatest character flaw for it was the one thing that genuinely got her into trouble! Her friends know it her parents know it – even Laura acknowledges she lives either with her head in the clouds or buried in a romantic novel. But what’s wrong with seeing the world through rose-tinted glasses even if it’s not delivered her a real-life dashing hero yet? But when Laura’s latest relationship ends in disaster rather than a glorious sunset she swears off men and particularly hopeless romantic fantasies for good. With her life in tatters around her she foolishly agrees to go on holiday with her parents and grandmother (combined age nearly 200!). After a few days of traipsing round Norfolk craft shops and National Trust properties Laura’s ready to tear her hair out. And then she meets prickly but sexy Nick estate manager at Chartley Hall one of the country’s greatest stately homes. She swiftly finds she shares more than just a sense of humour with him – in fact she starts to think she could fall for him. But is Nick all he seems?Or has Laura got it wrong again? Will he be the one who makes her enter the convent permanently or is he The One who could thaw her frozen heart? ; ; ‘Well written… you’ll love it’ Daily Mail ; ; ‘Romantic… Gripping…Marks Harriet Evans out as a writer of superior popular fiction her seemingly sunny coming of age story darkening at every turn’ The Lady ; ; ‘Escapism that brings with it the promise of “custard yellow” sands and hot summer sun.’ Independent ; ; ‘Complex storylines flawed characters and cupboards that positively rattle with skeletons.

44 Scotland Street

Posted by Notcot on Jun 23, 2012 in Cult Film
44 Scotland Street

The story revolves around the comings and goings at No. 44 Scotland Street a fictitious building in a real street in Edinburgh. Immediately recognisable are the Edinburgh chartered surveyor stalwart of the Conservative Association who dreams of membership of Scotland’s most exclusive golf club. We have the pushy Stockbridge mother and her prodigiously talented five-year-old son who is making good progress with the saxophone and with his Italian. Then there is Domenica Macdonald who is that type of Edinburgh lady who sees herself as a citizen of a broader intellectual world. In McCall Smith’s hands such characters retain charm and novelty simultaneously arousing both mirth and empathy. 44 Scotland Street is vintage McCall Smith tackling issues of trust and honesty snobbery and hypocrisy love and loss but all with great lightness of touch. Clever elegant and funny this is a novel that provides huge entertainment but which is underpinned by the moral dilemmas of everyday life and the characters’ struggles to resolve them.

Gothic Serpent – Black Hawk Down Mogadishu 1993 (Raid)

Posted by Notcot on May 17, 2012 in Gothic
Gothic Serpent - Black Hawk Down Mogadishu 1993 (Raid)

This book tells the story of Task Force Ranger – a unit of US Rangers and Special Forces – and their attempt to capture the lieutenants of the Somali warlord Muhamed Farrah Aideed, during the 1993 United Nations’ humanitarian relief mission. What started as a simple snatch-and-grab mission quickly degenerated into a desperate battle for survival when US Black Hawk helicopters were struck by rocket-propelled grenades and crashed into the streets of Mogadishu. Racing to save the crew, Task Force Ranger was surrounded by mobs of hostile Somali gunmen. The battle in the city raged all night as the better-equipped and better-trained US forces kept the nearly overwhelming numbers of Somalis at bay. Finally, battered, bloodied, and low on ammunition, the Task Force was rescued by a combined UN and US relief force and extracted to safety. Containing detailed maps and declassified information, this is a dramatic retelling of a brutal battle that had a far-reaching impact on US military policy.This book tells the story of Task Force Ranger – a unit of US Rangers and Special Forces – and their attempt to capture the lieutenants of the Somali warlord Muhamed Farrah Aideed, during the 1993 United Nations’ humanitarian relief mission.

SAMPLE ENTRY:

“What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book?”
 

The Mortal Instruments series was inspired out of a daily encounter, just like any other author who conceived their ideas mostly with the environment and people they meet in life.
Cassandra Clare has a certain fascination which she claims she never had: Tattoos. She believes the Ancient Runes within this pigmentation where warriors cover their bodies with symbols and images, but the inspiration did not happen within a snap. The fascination for tattoos was even more solidified when a friend of hers who is a tattoo artist gave her a tour in her new shop in New York. There was a unique tradition in the tattoo parlor…
