RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE

منذ ٣ أعوام

 Hi, everyone!  

In Russian/Ukrainian when I'm looking for something and I find it very close to where I was I can say that for example 'the book was RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE.', meaning that the book was not far away from me and it was strange that I couldn't see it.

 What are the common ways to say this in English? ('the book was RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE.')

Thank you!
