Post 72: Mission Accomplished

I had never bought something online before, i prefer to go to the nearest store and take a look after what i need, so i would be able to check for its conditions etc

However because of the time-constraint and perhaps i had spending a lot on buying books, i have started to switch on online bookstores, obviously because it's offer the same books at the very reasonable price.





I usually spent around RM100 and get to buy only two books in one shot. With online buying, i have only need RM87.00 inclusive postage for three books as you can see in the pictures above. Win !! Hoyeah :D

Now, i am looking for Norwegian Wood(Haruki Murakami) and Brida(Paulo Coelho) .. where to find it ?

Let's start searching !


Good Night :)

Post 70: Obsessions

I only have two, for the time being. If it is not because of shoes, it is surely because of books. I can't see books, i want to grab it all.

I am currently reading The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks where it had mostly a very good reviews on it. It has been a week since my first day reading this book and found myself stucked at page 7, seems like very hard to turned to the next page. I ended up falling asleep after reading only half a page. Hopefully, it is just because of the slow pace at the beginning. Hey Ho.

Btw, i am planning on adding up below books in my collections, have a very long wish lists this time !






Happy Reading ! ;)

Post 69: Big Girl - Danielle Steel

Finally finished reading this book in less than two weeks. I can feel Victoria Dawson, and hardly can put this one down ;)

* * *

A chubby little girl with ordinary looks, Victoria Dawson has always felt out of place in her family, especially in body-conscious L.A. While her parents and sister can eat anything and not gain an ounce, Victoria must watch everything she eats, as well as endure her father's belittling comments about her body and see her academic achievements go unacknowledged. Ice cream and oversized helpings of all the wrong foods give her comfort, but only briefly. The one thing she knows is that she has to get away from home, and after college in Chicago, she moves to New York City.

Landing her dream job as a high school teacher, Victoria loves working with her students and wages war on her weight at the gym. Despite tension with her parents, Victoria remains close to her younger sister, Grace. Though they couldn't be more different in looks, they love each other unconditionally. So when Grace announces her engagement to a man who is an exact replica of their narcissistic father, Victoria worries about her sister's future happiness, and with no man of her own, she feels like a failure once again. As the wedding draws near, a chance encounter, a deeply upsetting betrayal, and a family confrontation lead to a turning point.

Behind Victoria is a lifetime of hurt and neglect she has tried to forget. Ahead is a challenge and a risk: to accept herself as she is, celebrate it, and claim the victories she has fought so hard for and deserves. Big girl or not, she is terrific and discovers that herself.
