Honey... Oprah got somethings in her head that she need to get right because if it wasn't for God she wouldn't be what she is today.

I'm sorry I had to take it from a religious stand point.

Yes, well I think so. It is a bit dark due to the light reflection but I like the sandels and deck chair on the beach. You expect someone nearby but there's nobody to be seen.

Come read with me - August

Image
Sorry for the delayed post! I read 2 books during August, couldn't get to do much reading because I was busy Holiday-ing (woot!) First book I read brought me back to my early teen years.. Someone donated a storybook for our Office Library and when I saw it..I reminded myself to read it when I could. One evening I left the office late and took the chance to read it. It's a typical, straight-forward teen love story. What can I say? It was nice reading it - sans the complication and the pain some books tend to have. Oh the good 'ol days! Second book I read was Book 11 of the Sookie Stackhouse Series (also known as Trueblood - the series are aired on telly..real good!~). This book I must say I was a little disappointed. I kinda forced myself to complete reading it. I read book 10 some time back, so i kinda forgot what the plot was. And with the author throwing in new characters and relationships - fairies, werewolves..shifters,uncle cousin niece,fairy grandfather..I got a bit c...

Come Read with Me - January '12

Image
I am so behind time, initially I was supposed to complete reading this book in December, but with friends visiting, preparations for Christmas and also the New Year had made me a lazy butterfly :) The book that I read was the final book of the Inheritance Cycle - Aptly named Inheritance. Paolini really pushed himself in this one, in fact, it feels a little bit too much..and the ending is [too] neutral for my liking. A smart move as he opened leeway for the story to continue. [Perhaps a new series??] This would be the first book that I've read that I actually felt sick/pain when I read the battle scenes. Good job, writer >.< The story had some endings for some of the characters, but all in all I enjoyed reading it, but the story became a little flat after the climax battle ended. Thank you for writing this cycle as you have made me love dragons considering there are in actual fact a gigantic version of the house lizards that I dislike oh so much! :P

Come Read with Me (March)

Image
This is my book for the month of March. Many of you must've heard of Cecilia Ahern for her bestseller - PS I Love You. I read the back of that book, and didn't want to read further.. I don't like sad stories! If You Could See Me Now is my first book from this author. I must say I am pleasantly surprised. The story revolves around Imaginary Friends. You know how Imaginary Friends are normally seen by children? But this time a grown woman sees one! It shows a different and innocent side of love which is really beautiful. The only thing that I don't really like about it would be the over-excessive description of things..I zone out at those parts and scan through them. You will still be able to get the storyline even if you miss those. I'm currently reading another book by the same author now - A Place Called Here. I will feature that one for April :) *Update* I wasn't feeling well today, so I stayed home to rest. Managed to finish reading A Place Called Here :) The...
