7-Month Hiatus

I believe this is long enough to make anyone sneeze when they drop by my page. =p

Pardon my hiatus; work hasn't been kind and health has been not up to par. Now that I'm on my unpaid leave til mid Jan next year, I shall have the time to get back to reading (and now cross-stitching too!).

The only update I've done today is on the post "50 Books a Year Challenge". 22 more books to go in less than 2 months! Wish me luck!

Despite the hiatus, the book hunting and shopping didn't halt at any point. =p

Will add more posting sooooooooon!

Btw, since I've picked up cross-stitch one more blog has been created to dedicate to this new found passion (and patience?). Drop by Ruz's Craft if you would like to see what I'm up to besides reading. ;) Bemindful that it is still undergoing some refurbishment and there is only one post to kick it off. hihihi More to come!

Books Vending Machine

You read that right! Books in Malaysia will be as accessible as F&B! :) I was overjoyed when I first read the article published in The Star. This has been done in other countries some time ago like Germany and US.

MPH never fails bookaholics! I can't wait to see the vending machines in action! ^___^
Not only will be books be more accessible, it will be cheaper too!!!! How cool is that? ;)

Bumped into a blog on this! Bibliobibuli covered the awesome subject matter in 2005. Click here to
"flip" to the entry. In the meantime, I'm going to drool onto the vending machines around the world. Feel free to join me by clicking on the image below.

Times Bookstore Membership Renewal

Among many bookstores in Malaysia, Times Bookstore's members benefits are great. Best bit is 10% discount on book purchases.

Recently, I went to Plaza Damas to drop by the Times Bookstore Sale. If you refer to my last 2 post, it isn't as good. Might as well just go to the store and grab books there while the world book sale is still on.

I renewed my membership at RM15 for 2 years. Not to bad at all. Guess what? I got RM15 voucher to spend after the transaction! The renewal was FOC. *grinssss* I'm not too sure if the voucher is given everytime but I got it! Thanks Times! :)

I have til end of next month to spend. Then my birthday month will come. Another privilege to enjoy!

Teaser Tuesdays - 15/3/2011

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following: 

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

"I don't care if you don't care!!! And...and anyway, your music isn't even that good anyway!!"

p/s: I've don't quite remember reading a book without page numbers but this is one of it. The entire series do not have page numbers so a bookmark is very essential!

This is not the best Times has pulled up. I was disappointed. Very few new books. Better off going to the store on the upper level to enjoy World Book Day discount. For those who are looking for cooking books, you MAY find something here.
