Post 46: Books Review Session

While i was away, busy kicking my life, this blog of mine surprisingly received quite a big number of traffics from my previous entry which was from the Post 2: The Definitive Book of Body Language. I am sorry that i reviewed nothing much because i thought that okay, i updating this blog for the sake of i might want to read those stories again after maybe ten years, so i would definitely knew what i have been doing for the past decades, without expecting someone whom i never know will be reading my blog, looking for references or reviews. Hihi :')

I love books !! Who doesn't, right ?

I always looking or buying my favorites from MPH Bookstore, Alamanda, Putrajaya because it is the nearest. Hee :')

The latest book i bought was 501 Most Devastating Disasters, which has been published by Polly Manguel. It contains the collection of 501 of the world's worst disasters spans almost 2500 years of history. It includes natural calamities like the eruption of Vesuvius or the Indian ocean tsunami, unstoppable diseases like Black Death and AIDS, and terrible accidents like the sinking of the Titanic !

I have finished reading The Wedding Girl by Madeleine Wickham (another name of Sophie Kinsella) and currently reading Mini Shopaholic, and i also have another books written by the same author which is Sleeping Arrangements, in the books-to-read lists :')

Whenever i feel frustrated, feeling down, loosing the spirits of life, i will be reading La Tahzan Don't Be Sad by Dr. 'Aidh bin 'Abdullah Al-Qarni. I always feel better after reading it :')

For self-motivating books, I have How to Enjoy Life and Your Job, How to Win Friends & Influence People, The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Thinking for at least until next months reading, all from Dale Carnegie.

And recently, i am aiming to buy this one book from a very different genre of books i have read and had before which is A Doctor in The House: The Memoirs of Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, written by Fourth Malaysia's Former Prime Minister himself. It has been on sell for RM100.00 each. Honestly, i hate talking about politics, it's getting dirtier everyday, no ? But i really think that i SHOULD have this book. MUST have !
