Purchase #1 - February 2019


I was just wondering when I would make my first book purchase for the year when I suddenly remember that I already did!

 It was in early February or was it late January? that someone posted a few titles for sales in a FB page of which I am a member of and among the titles that she wanted to sell is this one - Mightier Than The Sword by Jeffery Archer.

 This title is part of a series that I have been collecting, the last purchased for this series being in September last year where I managed to get hold of 3 titles from a charity sales.

 I now have five titles under this series and am missing two more titles as at now.  

 For my own record, the titles under this Clifton Chronicles Series are :

  1. Only Time Will Tell
  2. Sins of the Father
  3. Best Kept Secrets
  4. Be Careful What You Wish For (missing this)
  5. Mightier Than The Sword
  6. Cometh The Hour
  7. This Was The Man (missing this)

I didn't realised that I was missing Be Careful What You Wish For.  I always thought I have this title.

 I guess I will have to keep a watch out for the two titles that I don't have in order to complete the series.

 Wish Me Luck.

 ps. this would be my first purchase for 2019.

But time and again, I find myself revisiting that time The time when I thought I’ve loved and lost I was twenty four and he was thirty one I was young and naïve and he was the man of the world I was intrigued by him, he was captivated by me The girl who drank Jack Daniels and knew about war aircrafts  and read about espionages.

Birthright by Nora Roberts

Synopsis : When 5,000-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger and romance. While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project – fueling rumours that the site is cursed. She must also cope with the presence of her irritating – but irresistible – ex-husband, Jake. And when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she must question her own past as well. If you are familiar with Nora Roberts works such as Montana Sky, Carolina Moon, Angels Fall , then you would have an idea the type of story she turns out. They made good hallmark movies out of these books. Nora Roberts also wrote as JD Robb but that’s another story. Birthright follows similar pattern. Callie is the heroine and the story revolves around her with murders, arson, etc. ...
