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

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? ;)

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

Do you multi-task when you read? Do other things like stirring things on the stove, brushing your teeth, watching television, knitting, walking, et cetera? Or is it just me, and you sit and do nothing but focus on what you’re reading? (Or, if you do both, why, when, and which do you prefer?) My answer: I multi-task! I walk. I sing to music.

Do you cheat and peek at the ends of books? (Come on, be honest.) My answer: Be honest? LOL! Love that bit. I'd be lying if I've never done it. I don't like to ruin the suspense. Honestly throughout my reading life, I've done it once or twice when I was younger. Now, I just read slowly and "feel" the sentences as I read. :) It is more enjoyable that way!

All other things being equal–do you prefer used books? Or new books? (The physical speciman, that is, not the title.) Does your preference differentiate between a standard kind of used book, and a pristine, leather-bound copy? My answer: Remember the saying don't judge a book by its cover? LOL! Anyway, I LOVE NEW books! Especially hardcover ones. It lines up nicely on the bookshelves. :)

What’s the most romantic book you’ve ever read? (Mind you, I don’t mean the hard-core stuff you hide in plain wrappers under your mattress. I mean True Love, Romance, deeply emotional, heart-tugging, and all that stuff.) And, secondly, did you like it? Is it your usual kind of reading, or did it take you by surprise? My answer: Tough one; The Wedding and A Walk To Remember by Nicholas Sparks

Well, folks, I don’t know about where you are, but right here, it’s HOT. So … when you think about “hot reading,” what does that make you think of? Beach reading? Steamy romances? Books that take place in hot climates? Or cold ones? My answer: To start with, it is not exactly hot here. It rains every evening. *If only I could be in bed with a book instead of in the office swivel chair.* Then

Name a book or author that you truly wanted to love but left you disappointed. (And, of course, explain why.) My answer: The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Believe it. This book has been awarded best sellers in many countries but seriously, I don't get why. This book falls into my 1/5 rating. I have to say that the contents are repetitive and simply doesn't make sense to me. It mainly focuses on

Chic-Lit has always been my favourite since I tried Sophie Kinsella's Can You Keep A Secret?. It is very light and enjoyable. Most of the time, this genre appeals to female but there is no doubt it could enjoyable but both genders. Ain't nothing wrong. Still books and different people enjoys different genres. This year, I've expanded the genres I read to mainly self-help, psyhology and few

"Do you read book reviews? Do you let them change your mind about reading/not reading a particular book?" My answer: Yes. Being a bookaholic, I am usually tempted to buy whatever looks like in the bookstore. To hold myself back, I normally jot down the title and its author. When the book lingers in my mind, I will checkout its reviews; normally from more than 5 readers. If it is good, I'll

Title The Twits Author Roald Dahl Publisher Puffin Books Rating 3/5 If Esio Trot is sweet, The Twits is the opposite. I find it wicked and disgusting. (Yes, the characters are disgusting.) Mr. and Mrs. Twits can't stop playing mean tricks on each other. They will always play pranks on each other just to get even. As intriguing as it sounds, this story is about 2 smelly people who get married

Typically bookmarks help mark pages where you pause in your reading. What if it is not a reading book? What if you want to mark many pages? Bookmarks will be quite troublesome to use;1. You will need many bookmarks2. Many bookmarks between the pages will bloat the book and could also affect its spine.3. Dog-ear the pages; I despise this!

I know I musn't spend too much this year especially on books coz I've got more than 50 unread books. Anyhow,I only bought 3 books this month! =) I don't know how I got into buying recipe books but I can't resist the great simple delicious ones! Now I better clear up the magazines section on the shelves so that I can accommodate more recipe books. ^_^ Note to self:Dig time to read and finish up

Rudyard Kipling writes only in black ink.Virginia Woolfwrites standing up.I wonder why.....Well, my pens are 98% black because I find blue ink too common and words looks neater in black. Anyhow, if there are no other pens available I still end up with blue pens. Doesn't really matter.Writes while standing up.....HmmmmI believe there are more interesting facts about other authors I'm yet to know.

This post is not-so related to books but I've got to write it out anyway...Just to let out how I feel about my reading lately. I can't say it is non-existent as I read everyday.

Everyone has their own ways to pick a book to read and yea...buy. It differs just like how our interests differs. I have quite a number of friends who would ask me what I'm reading and if I have any books I'd recommend them to read. It may be quite a simple question for some but sometimes I feel it is quite difficult to answer. Why? I don't really know what kind of books you enjoy reading. You

There used to be Times and Kinokuniya in KLCC. However, after some time, there is only Kinokuniya left. Times is now replaced by Toy'R US.
