Read All About It!

I bought 4 books in 2 weeks! Normally, I buy 1 book every other month. The rest of the time, I sponge them off my sister. Makes more economic sense that way! She buys, I borrow them indefinitely. But I'm a nice sister, I let her borrow my books too you know.

Why have I been buying so many? Nooo, not because of the Big, Fat Bonus (some people's are Bigger and Fatter than mine, but hey .. I'm not complaining!). The little guy goes for a holiday playgroup in a shopping centre. So what to do when I wait 1 1/2 hours for him? I sit in Starbucks and read a book (this is mainly to stop myself from shopping too much). Since I read pretty fast, I have to keep on buying new ones. I have been spending lots of happy time in Starbucks! What bliss.

I have to say that the books have been pretty good. So here are my recommendations ... First up is this book by Sophie Kinsella.

I really adore her books. The Shopaholic series is totally hilarious! I didn't read them in order however, so I'm back tracking to her earlier copies. Look out for the latest in the series, Shopaholic and Baby which will be out in February 2007. Can't wait!

I've never read Jodi Picoult before and didn't know what to expect. But the summary was intriguing. Besides, if the bookstore carried so many titles of written by her, she can't be that bad.

Must say that I was engrossed in the story about a father kidnapping his own child. The girl thought that her mother was dead and only learned the truth when the police came to arrest her father 23 years later. I was so into this book that I finished it at 4 am!

Currently reading this. Didn't watch the movie though. I'm only at Chapter 6 but it has been good so far.

This, I bought to read on the way to KL next Monday. Yay! I'm going on a shopping holiday! Hope I don't get sick and puke from reading in a moving vehicle!

And this better be a good read! I don't want to be deliriously bored on the way there. Well, Stephen King has never disappointed me so far .. so I have good hopes for this one. Will update after I'm done with it.
