CATHERINE ALLIOTT (2-IN-1) (SOLD!!)
THE OLD-GIRL NETWORK - The classic favourite from the No. 1 bestselling author Dreamy, scatty and impossibly romantic, Polly McLaren has an arrogant and demanding boss, and a gorgeous yet elusive boyfriend. But when a handsome stranger on a train recognises her old school scarf, her life changes forever… This American Romeo begs her to help him find his Juliet and Polly agrees – St Gertrude's girls must, after all, stick together. However, everyone and everything soon becomes entangled as the old-girl network turns into a spider’s web of complications. But it’s just possible that it might also turn into love…
GOING TOO FAR - 'You've gone all fat and complacent because you've got your man, haven't you?' There are things only your best friend can tell you, but this outrageous suggestion is met with indignation from Polly Penhalligan, who is recently married, trying for a baby and blissfully happy in her beautiful manor farmhouse in Cornwall. At least she was, until Pippa's unfortunate remark forces her to realise that her idyllic life of gorging on chocolate biscuits, counting her seemingly endless blessings and not getting dressed until lunchtime could be having a few unwelcome side-effects. So Polly decides to razz things up a bit ndash; and agrees to allow her home to be used as a location for a commercial. But even before the cameras are set up and the stars released from their kennels, Polly's life and marriage have been turned upside down. This time, it seems, she's gone too far...

CAROL MATES & PERRY NODELMAN - More Minds
The rebellious Princess Lenora and her cautious, clairvoyant fiance, Coren, return. Once again, the princess is bored with the predictable pace of life in Gepeth and seeks adventure, this time searching for a giant who is terrorizing the land. She escapes her parents' scrutiny by creating an idealized version of herself and inadvertently creates a second Coren as well (this one is a swashbuckling adventurer). These two "shadow" characters add both humor and meaning to the tale, exemplifying the ways in which stereotypes limit personal growth. As the four young people seek to discover the source of the problems plaguing Gepeth, they are thrust into many odd situations.

MARJORIE KINNAN RAWLINGS - The Yearling (SOLD!!)
Fighting off a pack of starving wolves, wrestling alligators in the swamp, romping with bear cubs, drawing off the venom of a giant rattlesnake bite with the heart of a fresh-killed deer--it's all in a day's work for the Baxter family of the Florida scrublands. But young Jody Baxter is not content with these electrifying escapades, or even with the cozy comfort of home with Pa and Ma. He wants a pet, a friend with whom he can share his quiet cogitations and his corn pone. Jody gets his pet, a frisky fawn he calls Flag, but that's not all. With Flag comes a year of life lessons, frolicking times, and achingly hard decisions.
This powerful book is as compelling now as when it was written over 60 years ago. Read simply as a naturalist study of the Florida interior, it fascinates and entices. Add the heart-stopping adventure and heart-wrenching human elements, and this is a classic well worth its Pulitzer Prize. Earthy dialect and homespun wisdom season the story, giving it a unique and unforgettable flavor

THOMAS HARRIS - Hannibal (SOLD!!)
You remember Hannibal Lecter: gentleman, genius, cannibal. Seven years have passed since Dr. Lecter escaped from custody. And for seven years he's been at large, free to savor the scents, the essences, of an unguarded world.
But intruders have entered Dr. Lecter's world, piercing his new identity, sensing the evil that surrounds him. For the multimillionaire Hannibal left maimed, for a corrupt Italian policeman, and for FBI agent Clarice Starling, who once stood before Lecter and who has never been the same, the final hunt for Hannibal Lecter has begun. All of them, in their separate ways, want to find Dr. Lecter. And all three will get their wish. But only one will live long enough to savor the reward....

WILLIAM GOLDMAN - Magic
Starting out as a boy in the Catskills, Corky develops into a brilliant and famous magician whose long-hidden secret and expert skills attract dark forces intent on destroying him.
My personal review: This book is seriously good. The only reason I want to sell it off is because it is too good - it's a scary book, and it scared me to bits. That's why I can't read it anymore. To anyone who likes scary books - this is for you. And by the way, William Goldman is a freaking good writer - he writes screenplays too. Google him to find more of his wonderful works (I have Princess Bride, which is written by him as well, but that's not for sale....kekeke)
