baca buku

i've quite a number of books which are overdue to be read. and i've just finished 2 of them in the past 3 weeks. uih... lama gila tak baca buku cerita. while in mood, better continue. karang mood membaca dah hilang, asik bawak buku ke hulu, ke hilir. bacanya tak jugak. luckily made is sort of a bookworm. or else, i couldnt be bother reading any books. more of kumpul receipts for tax rebate aje. hehehe.. and now since having a maid, i have extra-extra tax rebate. i dont have much works to offer, therefore, to keep her occupied, we bought her story books - of her choice. kalo kami pilihkan, takut tak kena pulak dengan jiwa raga dia.



first book i read was by freya north - "love rules".
Thea Luckmore, a composed and dedicated massage therapist believes in love, the magic spark of true, old-fashioned love. She has to fall head over heels, or rather, heart over head.

However, her best friend Alice Heggarty, a spirited and successful magazine publisher, has always been a slave to lust though invariably it ends in tears. Turning 30, as yet another disastrous relationship ends, Alice makes a decision. It’s time to marry and she knows just the man who would make an excellent husband.

For Thea, a chance encounter on Primrose Hill ignites that elusive spark she’s preoccupied with… Saul Mundy promises to be the perfect fit and Thea finds herself falling deeply in love and loving it.

But though newly-wed Alice encourages Thea to settle down, Alice herself finds that she’s not as keen as she thought on playing by the rules. She starts to break them left, right and centre… At the same time, Thea’s world is shaken to core.




another book was "sex as a second language" by alisa kwitney.

Katherine Miner has decided to withdraw from the world of men at the ripe old age of forty. A former actress, Kat now teaches advanced English as a second language to adults in downtown Manhattan.

But even as Kat prepares her students to venture into the linguistic minefields of casual social contact, she has no intention of risking her own neck. In fact, Kat plans on retiring from sex. It’s not that she hates men. It’s just that she doesn’t trust them. After all, her soon-to-be ex-husband has dropped all contact with their nine-year-old son, and she herself hasn’t spoken to her father in more than thirty years.

Bit then Kat receives a letter from her father that turns her life upside down. And suddenly she is discovering that she still has a lot to learn about men, friendship and kind of nonverbal communication they don’t teach in school.

Alisa Kwitney’s darkly humorous novel affirms that forty is not the end of the world for women – sometimes, it’s just the beginning.

dua-dua buku pun best.. jemputlah baca :D
