Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and the Marriage of the Century
by Sam Kashner & Nancy Schoenberger
$11.55 on Amazon... Click here:
Description (on back): He was a tough-guy Welshman softened by the affections of a breathtakingly beautiful woman. She was a modern-day Cleopatra madly in love with her own Mark Antony. For nearly a quarter of a century, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were Hollywood royalty, and their fiery romance - often called "the marriage of the century" - was the most notorious, publicized, and celebrated love affair of its day.
Shocking and unsparing in its honesty, Furious Love explores the very public marriage of "Liz and Dick" as well as the private struggles of Elizabeth and Richard. But it is much more than a celebrity biography; it's an honest yet sympathetic portrait of a man, a woman, and a passion that shocked and mesmerized the world.

Description (on back): Theirs is the story of two young people who found each other in college, came perilously close to losing what they had forever, and pulled back from the brink at the last possible moment. Theirs is the story of private moments stolen for public consumption, of harrowing car chases, of scorching personal dramas played out behind the scenes, of calm heads prevailing in times of panic, and of a singular devotion made stronger by time. The saga of William and Kate is one thing above all else: a love story.

Kate Style: Chic and Classic Look
Description (on back): Whether she's dressed for the country in sporty, top-to-toe tweed, attending a society function in a glamorous evening gown, or keeping it casual in jeans and her favourite knee-high boots, Kate always looks picture-perfect, effortlessly blending high-street chic with designer couture. This book picks apart the seams of the Princess-to-be's coveted look; detailing her favourite shops and designers, surveying the shoes, bags and, of course, hats that form an essential part of Kate's wardrobe. Kate Style: Chic and Classic Look reveals the secrets behind her glossy locks, flawless make-up, and elegant figure.
By now, you all are well aware that I'm slightly obsessed with anything royal/Princess Catherine... This book provides interesting insight into all her looks. What I am most interested in is her seemingly never-ending collection of leather/suede knee-high boots AND how she styled her hair on the day she announced her engagement to make it so shiny and full. :) I think she's gorgeous!!
Here is another Kate style-related book I am pre-ordering from Amazon.com (it will be shipped in early September):
