4 Books in Less than One Month

This is the third book from the box. Eclipse. The story destressed me a bit because Bella cannot decide which one she loves. pathetic! hahahaha emo eh?

... and this is the final book. I bought the box on September 27 and finished the fourth book on October 20th, at 4.00pm (i know.. I know... I was at work that time.. LOL)

Generally, They are my favourite after harry potter (and this one had nothing to do with ijat's influence or what). It's my husband to be blame on this craze. Well, it's always good when you have somebody to blame. muahahahahaha

notakaki : camno nak rotate gambar tu eh?

Books and more books

Another thing beside yarns and hook that I addicted so much are books (vampire books..LOL). Nehhhh... actually it was a feeling of needing to brush my sewing skill so I bought this book. It's a good book for beginner though. If you think you want to learn how to sew your own baju kurung, this is the book I would recommend. And these I bought out of my addiction - the magazine I mean.. hee hee pricey here ( we can get a good novel with the price.. but .. once a while it make no harm eh?). The stitching directory got 25% less the time I bought. Okay la tu kannnn

And So Now

I'm reading the second book from the box: The New Moon.

Veronika Decides To Die by Paolo Coelho

Since I'd transfered to the new place, I seldom had time to read because I don't have that 2 hours commuting time anymore. So after a few month (phew!) finally I manage to finish this book :

It's about Veronika, who actually had an almost perfect life but decides to end her life by by ingesting too many sleeping pills. She was too close to death. Her plan fails and she wakes up in Villete, a mental hospital in Slovenia, where she is told she has 5 days to live. There, she met Zedka, who has clinical depression; Mari, who suffers from panic attacks; and Eduard, who has schizophrenia, and with whom Veronika falls in love. Loads of things happened to here as well as all the residence of the Villete. Suddenly, towards the end, Veronika realised that she actually wanted to live.

I would say the book is a bit mental (well, it a story about mental people anyway) but it's a good read indeed. :D

I'm now trying to read - A Place Called Here by Cecelia Ahern.

Just finished this :

For One More day by Mitch Albom

Have you ever wish that you get just one more day? To make up event, to undo things, to say I love you to the most precious people?

This book is based on true story of Charles (Chick) Benetto who chose to be "daddy's boy" and chase his father's attention whilst his mother fight so hard to love him.

When Chick left drop college and join the baseball team, he broke his mother heart. When the career gone, he lost his money in a cafe business, he became a salesman, bored and unappreciated, he try his luck in investment where all his savings goes down the drain. Divorced and not even invited to his daughter wedding, he choose to end his life at his old town, pepperville Beach where his mother (died 8 years ago and he was not even there) used to live. Drunk and he slammed the billboard, get up and when he reach the house, he found his mother was there.

Lots of things happen in that one day ...

A good read. I love the story.

Sometimes we are busy finding and try to get what we don't have, what we couldn't get that we forget and blind on what we have with us. Very near yet very far.

Just read this ...

The Borgia Bride

Finished this book just now. I have no idea that I was reading a true historic base fiction. Haha what an ignorance. Anyhow, I like the book.

The story is about Sancha de Aragon, princess of Naples and illegitimate daughter to the coldhearted duke of Calabria (briefly king of Naples), is used to establish ties to the feared and influential House of Borgia when her father betroths her to the younger scion, Jofre. The marriage brought her (after some events) to Rome where she lives with the Borgias. She soon learned who the Borgias are and at first she herself had fallen to her brother in law, Cesare Borgia. cesare Borgia is known in history as a murderer and adventurer. She also then befriend with Lucrezia (Cesare' sister who after that married with Sancha' brother, Alfonso) and learnt one of the Borgia's secret - canterella; a deadly poison.

A book about incest, corruption, power hunger, treachery, revenge, love, loyalty; all blend in one.

I love the book even though at some early pages I started a bit slow for I have to recall the years (took place around 1400 - 1500) and the family tree of the Aragon and the Borgia; who is who and so forth.

If You Could See Me Now by Cecelia Ahern

Just finished this book this morning ...

It is about Ivan, a "friend" came into Elizabeth Egan' life .. actually he was suppose to be Luke's friend .. Luke is Elizabeth's nephew from her troubled sister, Soirse who more like her mother .. always wanted to be free ...

Elizabeth is a perfectionist who lives on schedules and facts. One day Luke introduced her to Ivan, a friend she couldn't see. She tried so hard to tell Luke that Ivan was actually not exist and there came Ivan in her life. Ivan's present had changed her totally. And she found her life is actually fun.

To me .. the book is about how you see the unseen... It's all in the heart . Too many too little ... I'm learning to see from the heart ...
