Three for less!

If you've been following my twitter, I did tweet about buying books online with far more cheaper price! I've been thinking of getting these books since ages ago but juggling between full time job and part time job and a mom (phew that was mouthful!), I don't think I even have the time to read. The last time I really read and finish a book was when I was in confinement.

Since I am going to be in confinement (soon I hope!), I thought why not get these books now? The only books I've always had in mind were Mini Shopaholic, Twenties Girl and Have A Little Faith. I enjoy light readings. So I guess these 3 books are suffice.

I've been an avid follower of the Shopaholic's series since book 1! and Mitch Albom's too! I did cry once when reading 5 People You Meet In Heaven. I hope this one won't let me down.

Anyway, doing what I do best, shop online that is, I begin to browse for these books online. There were a few blogs selling them but not all 3 of them all together. Then I tried Mudah.my. and found this so-called bookstore selling all kind of books. And the best part, he has 3 books that I wanted! I quickly texted him and he replied that he only have 2 books in hand. Which was a bummer! So I said I will take them all 3 if you can find the other book. Then he said he will reply back to me soon.

And fortunately, he did have it! So the price for all 3 books inclusive Registered Post is RM75. I'd say it's such a bargain! and they are all new books!

3 days later (which is today), I received them wrapped nicely in a brown paper.

Am soooo excited to read them!! I know these books sudah lama daahh.. But it's worth waiting :)

Oh by the way, if you're interested for some books, you can try this guy.

If you love books, you will faint with this awesome libraries!!

I used to love to go to the libraries and just sat there reading books and look at the magazines.But the only libraries I've ever been to were Alor Setar's Public Library and USM's. (see the bold word used to?) Because I don't do that anymore!and it's a sad thing that I hardly read any books nowadays. I can't even remember the last book I've read too!!! Teruk la ida!!

The little shopaholic in me

I started reading this Shopaholic series when I was doing my degree. or was it matriculation? or high school?

Anyway, I love Sophie's way of writing and as if I could relate myself to this so-called shopaholic. 

I have read all the shopaholic series and the stand-alone books and I must admit, I finished the entire series faster than I read the newspaper :P

I love each and every one of the book and always looking forward to something new from Sophie Kinsella.

And today, I just received an email from MPH and to my awed, Sophie is releasing a new shopaholic book!!

It's Mini Shopaholic!!

I bet it's about her daughter becoming a shopaholic too :P

I'm not sure wether this book is already in-store because it says here for' pre-order'.

No matter what, I must definitely get this book!!!!

Killing time with books

It's been awhile since the last time I read a book. It was Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper. Itu pon tak habis baca lagi.and The movie is already showing in US. huh...


and then, before i was reading My Sister's Keeper, i was reading Nicholas Spark's The Wedding, Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist and Kim Edward's The Memory Keeper's Daughter. Semua nyer baca sekerat jalan. It's either the books bore me or I get bored quickly :P

And now, I'm thinking of buying/reading another books, Sophie Kinsella's Remember Me? (i know this is an old book but haven't get the chance to read it, im a fan of Shopaholics btw) and Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. I've read his 2 books, Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code. I must say they are all a page turner. Especially Angels & Demons. Eventhough the movie wasn't quite as i expected. So should i get these 2 books or just finish up where i left off? huhu..
