I have a tip for you if you love books published by Danielle Steel but the prices keeps you from purchasing the novels if you have a Ollies close to your home you should check them out. I’ve fond a lot of times there books are cheaper than Half Price Books This week I was able to purchase The Affair: A Novel  for $4.99 and Beauchamp Hall for $4.99 which is awesome when you can finish a book in a day like I can.

I sat down on Sunday evening and began to read The Affair: A Novel. I need to let you know it’s so hard to close the book but I wanted to make it last at least a week. Which didn’t happen because I finished it this morning which is Tuesday. But that is okay because David said the books were so cheap he wouldn’t mind going and picking up more for me to read.

If you haven’t heard of The Affair its the story of a mom who is the editor of a magazine and her 4 daughter and there lives. In the book you will find romance as well as suspense. I loved the storyline even though I didn’t agree with parts of it and I wanted to know more about one of the sisters and her significant other but that isn’t to be unless we can talk Danielle Steel into writing a sequel which I would like to have with a lot of her books. How about you. Do you read Dannille Steels books and do you think some of them should be a sequel?

About the book:

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this riveting novel, Danielle Steel explores a high-profile affair that reverberates throughout an entire family, from the wounded wife to her husband—torn between two women—to the wife’s close-knit sisters and their mother.

When Rose McCarthy’s staff at Mode magazine pitches a cover shoot with Hollywood’s hottest young actress, the actress’s sizzling affair with a bestselling French author is exposed. The author happens to be Rose’s son-in-law, which creates a painful dilemma for her. Her daughter Nadia, a talented interior designer, has been struggling to hold her marriage together, and conceal the truth from their young daughters, her family, and the world. But Nicolas, her straying husband, is blinded by passion for a younger woman—and not only that, she is pregnant with his child.

Nadia’s three sisters close ranks around her, flying to Paris from Los Angeles and New York to lend support and offer their widely divergent advice. Athena, a jovial celebrity chef with her own TV show in Los Angeles, is leery of marriage. Olivia, a stern conservative New York superior court judge, is haunted by a shocking secret of her own. Venetia, a zany fashion designer, happily married with three kids, has the gentlest, most realistic point of view. Despite their well-meaning advice, Nadia needs to figure out what she herself thinks, and what to do next.

The Affair
 is about the painful journey to discover who you are, what you want, and how much forgiveness and compromise you are capable of in order to be loved. It’s about finding yourself at the crossroads of life when everything is on the line. It’s about the hard lessons we are forced to learn about others and ourselves. Right up until its final twist, this gripping novel is full of powerful insights about who we love, how much—and even how much we love ourselves.
