Tertinggal keretapi

Salam Saturday ceria
Alhamdulilah, Alhamdulillah sampai juga ke weekend ni.

OR da 10 millions you. Gilos, mesti contributed by fan like me I guess.





Dek kerana OR, saya dilanda keromantikan melayu (ceh ada ke keromantikan omputih?). Dan datangla mood membaca novel melayu semula. Dan terbelilah a few novels (tak tau ok tak cuma sambar based on feelings ja hehe).

Dan terpaksa jugalah menaiki keretapi mengejar cerita Nora Elena yang saya tak pandang langsung tu. Saya nonton di sini. TQ, Puan Bee. Puas godek google, tak berkenan site lain yang banyak iklan. Kat Tonton lak lembab. Dan terfeelinglah membaca "kasih nan suci" tu. Huhu. Hmm Meen Zulaikha is ok. Kena pada citarasa romantik saya unlike OR author which book I could not finish. Nothing personal cuma berlainan citarasa. Saya suka yang menulis dengan background dan ayat puitis, macam Aisya Sofea. And Meen is ok juga, tersengih juga saya sorang sorang dibawa perasaan .

That my current obsession . Have a great one semua :)

Cant get enough

Rinduku umpama ombak yang tak berhenti.
Kasihmu bagai pantai yang setia menanti.






ps:
2nd time watching OR d movie- i think i am crazy coz I dont mind watching it for the third time. :D. something is certainly wrong heheeh, tak pernah you i tengok malay movie more than once.


first time reading the book and the author- I am so glad that the movie is different from the book- garapan yang berbeza, background cerita yang berbeza. I love the movie more, of course.  Unlike the twilight books and its movies which mirror each other, OR the book feels like a different story altogether yet with same characters. Kudos kepada yang mengolahnya menjadi a better version.


on 2nd view, cik Lisa is not that bad. May be just that her acting does not look as sincere as Maya and Aaron, or maybe I just dont like her crazy character.


sudah terminat En AA. Susah betul lah :)

Mari Membaca

Salam



Ramadan tinggal dalam seminggu lagi. Gembira or sedih ke kita ye?:)


Sempena bulan baik ni, meh kita cuba baca buku buku agama sikit :). Sempat lagi ni (but kalau bukan Ramadan pun boleh gak baca :), tiada salah.

But sebelum tu nak cerita sikit, once upon a time, ada orang tu kutuk I. You ni kan asyik baca buku cite tah apa apa tah, buku agama tak nak baca. Then, dulu dulu masa still rajin beli URTV, ada gak orang tegur, pesal lah you baca magazines cam ni, baca buku agama lagi bagus tau. Kaum kerabat yang sinis pun ada, buku apa lah akak baca ni, hmm (sambil geleng geleng kepala)


Hmm I baca gak lah buku agama. Mesti semua orang kena tahu ke kan kalau I baca? :). I punya suka lah nak baca apa apa :). Angin jugak lah kan kadang kadang


I do read religious/ilmiah books, taklah banyak, adalah sikit :). Cuma sejak sedekad ni (fuuuyohh lama sedekad tu, hehe) it is just hard for me to finish reading buku buku ni till the last pages :) (basically there is nothing wrong with the books but something is wrong with me sebab buku buku DONGENG pun I got problem to finish reading hehe. Tak terkira tau buku yang I baca separuh jalan :D. Kena dapat buku buku ilmiah or Dongeng :) yang betul betul menarik baru boleh khatam baca.


And  this year, saya cuba lah juga beli a few ilmiah books yang nampak tak heavy sangat and menarik. Sejuk hati laki tengok bini baca buku agama eh? :).

ermayum's copy

And I pick this book which has received good comments everywhere. Memang betul,  macam orang lain itu juga, memang saya sangat suka buku ini. Pulutcoco promoted this book in her blog before and based on feedback in FB, I tau ramai yang dah baca. But if you have not read this book, please read – Travelog Haji, Mengubah Sempadan Iman. Tak mahal – separuh harga dari harga buku romance barat :), dalam RM20 macam tu. Jangan tertipu dek tajuknya. Nope bukan pasal macam mana nak buat haji, it is more about perjalanan mencari kasih Allah oleh seorang yang merasa dirinya serba kekurangan. Selepas hidup selama 40 tahun lebih baru beliau  terdetik ingin mencari Allah dengan lebih rapat lagi. Beautifully written dari hati oleh Prof Muhd Kamil, insyaAllah, jika kita baca dengan ikhlas, hati kita akan tersentuh and tears akan bertakung dikelopak mata because his story is our story – (basically lah). This book is must read K.


google copy

I also bought his second book - travelog dakwah, sambungan cerita bagaimana beliau mahu meneruskan apa apa yang telah beliau amalkan semasa di tanah suci- kiranya macam mana nak kekal menjadi hamba Allah yang baik dalam dunia yang serba busy ni :). Err buku ni I baru baca separuh jalan  :”), nanti esok esok saya sambung, insyaAllah.

google copy

And sebelum bulan puasa ituhari, buku ini menggamit saya – “Indahnya Kematian”, lepas baca buku ni mesti kurang sikit rasa takut nak mati :D. What I mean is yakinlah  that Allah sangat sangat penuh dengan kasih sayang dan rahmat. Mati itu sendiri penghapusan dosa, sakratulmaut, sakit sakit sana sini, ujian hidup, pencarian rezeki yang halal and every single thing that cause us trouble and inconvenience, sabarlah kerana semua itu penghapusan dosa, moga moga bila saat kita kembali kepadanya, kita bersih dosa. Yang kehilangan anak dalam perut or masa baby, tabah dan bersabarlah kerana kesabaran anda adalah penghapusan dosa. 


The book says that mati bukan penghabisan hayat, tetapi sebaliknya ia satu permulaan yang baru. Berlaku dan bersangka baiklah sentiasa sebab kalau banyak amal baik, sekejab ja hidup di alam  barzakh and perjalanan ke padang masyar pun senang. Betapa maha pengasih, pengampun dan penyayang nya Allah, dah matipun kita masih boleh mengharap  doa dan amalan anak anak soleh and so on. Again, I totally recommend this book :).


Sekadar sharing ye :), kalau ada kesilapan  quotes/rephrase, hanyalah dari kesilapan pemahaman saya :( :), sila betulkan. 


Till later selamat membaca ye. Baca jalah, apa apa sahaja (yang tidak membawa kepada dosa:)). Biarlah orang nak kata apa heheh.

Surat Terakhir Dari Kekasih Hati

He wrote "know that you hold my heart, my hopes in your hands". "And if you feel that your decision was the right one, know this at least: that somewhere in this world is a man who loves you who understands how precious and clever and kind you are. A man who has always loved you and to his detriment, suspects he always will"


There was a woman who met with an accident. She was badly hit on the head that caused her lost of memory (like insomnia?). When she regained consciousness, all things were out of place. She felt that something was just not right. Everybody and all things looked and felt foreign. Until one day, while doing a spring cleaning, she came across an old letter - addressed to her, a secret letter from her lover. Though she had no recollection of him, she knew with all her heart that he was the one who loved her unconditionally and wholeheartedly for what she was. With all the power that she had within her, with little memory that she had, she was set to find him and bring him back to her. Lepas satu, jumpa lagi satu letter.


Wow eh? :D how I wish my last or my current boyfriend (Mr Hub le) wrote me such letters and many more sweet lingering words that goes straight into my heart and make me be on cloud 9 melayang layang di atas bumi 24 seven around the clock heheh

ermayum copy :)

 "The last letter from your lover". This is a classic love story that last forever, macam flashback Rose dalam Titanic:). This is a beautiful romance that you must read :). Moving and intriguing you :)Tidak boleh diletak langsung, tak lena tidur, tak senang nak duduk berbelog :) kalau tak habis baca because you just want to know the ending, will they be united? Please baca sendiri :) . Buat movie novel ni best ni hehe

google copy

Till later and I leave you with this (also from the novel) "I love you anyway- even if there isn't any me or any love or even any life- I love you" I will still love you, no matter what (hehe Ermayum tambah)


ps:
I love this book and I love Jojo Moyes. Will get her other books 

Baca Phone :)

Salam salam moga hari ini hari indah buat anda :D

Saya sudah lama tidak membaca buku - adalah dalam 2 bulan (lama ke itu?:)), surat khabar lagi la jangan harap eh. Thanks to blogs anda anda semua- saya masih membaca, kalau tak, karat lah skill membaca (of course membaca requires skill - melatih mata take in keys points or melatih diri fast reading hehe)

While browsing my phone, I found this, terus download - seronoknya

Mega Reader App

Now I am in chaper 2 - the curious case of benjamin button - sonok sungguh baca disini - tap and tap - no need bookmark. Bila nak sambung ja - tap last place stop - now boleh membaca di mana mana tanpa buku :) - rajin dan malas ja - eh best eh cerita ni - starting dia pun dah lain dari movie eh. Dalam movie baby tua kan, dalam buku keluar ja dah boleh bercakap, budak you and bapak dia tak buang dia kat tepi tangga rumah orang :) (naper movie dia lari terus eh?). Hmm tengah semangat mega reader and benjamin button - tengoklah nanti eh, habis baca ke tak.

snap-shot - pilih ja tittle apa

Walaubagaimanapun, I love book still. If tamat khatam di mega reader pun, I will still go and buy the book kalau suka nanti :D untuk dicollect dan tanda dah selamat baca dan disukai oleh saya. Tak best lah kalau tak ada bukti kan.

Jom semua mari membaca tanpa buku :)

Ps:
mood tengok cerita korea pun lama tak datang ni. Hmmm, mari mari mood - I am longing for a good drama - the one with tears and laugther

Julia, Jenny and Jane

salam 
Just to update on some books (chick-lits semestinya heheh) that I tested on reading.  

I always stick to the same authors once they make me "feel" :). Months back, I read the host from the author of  twilight series and memang best - hopefully lepas semua cerita vampire dia dah jadi movie, somebody will take the host and produce movie jugak :)- alien yang masuk dalam badan manusia and fall in love with manusia tu punya kekasih (oh I cannot wait for breaking dawn, dengarnya ada part 1 and part 2 eh? oh Edward oh Jacob :D -  gedik Ermayum wei ) 


And not long before the host, I read Audrey's "her fearful symmetry" she is also the author of time traveler's wife - cerita ni kalau jadi movie pun best-I bet mesti seram  - pasal kekasih hati yang dah mati but masih tinggal melayang layang di dalam apartment, apartment pulak depan cemetery. Sesiapa yang nak baca buku ni and penakut tolong jangan baca dimalam hari sorang sorang (ye Zarin? :))


Anyway, let's back to my main topic :),  I love Julia and Jenny but something is missing with Jane. Not sure what it is. Maybe cengkaman feelings tu kureng kot :D.

Julia's books are very fun and hillarious - she is really making her heroes and heroins extra ordinary - heroins nya tomboy atau maid and heronya tempang or highwayman. She is good but keromantickan and kesweetsannya tu belum cukup lagi meruntun jiwa saya :)

Jenny is something - reading hers is like watching a very good romantic comedy, sungguh puas ever lasting gitu heheh - I love this book and will try to get all her other books. She is in between Sophie K. and Alexandra Potter - and I like her style more than Kinsella and Potter. Hers is sweeter.

Jane, Jane, Jane - any one of you read her? something is missing,what is that eh? too rigid, or not natural? maybe I should try another book of hers.


So my friends what have you  been reading? :D (I know that Lady baca buku cooking or cat hehe and  Azmiezas mesti tengah sibuk baca manual BB (maklumlah baru heheh- jangan mare kak). Takpa, yang penting membaca :D, I bet all of you must love to read, kalau tak, taklah berblogging kan :D


Till later

Same old feelings

I am feeling more than romantic lately hehe- maybe, induced by korean drama on maaduu :)


So,I find myself picking up my old, shabby, discoloured and stained historical romance books (HR) and re read them.  My all time favorites are all books by Judith McNaught (JM).  

First, I picked up Almost Heaven off the shelf. It took me less than 48 hours to re read it as thoroughly as I have read it the first time 20 years ago (tuanya saya, bersekang mata last saturday) .  And now I am on a second book  – Until you- If it is not because I have to wake up early to work (I read at night), I would have stayed awake longer.

Nothing ever changes- the feeling is still the same- the sweet lingering feeling when I feel that I weigh lighter than wind (ceh:)) , bila rasa kaki tak jejak dibumi, bila rasa like I am flying, terasa diawang awang heheh.

JM is one of the few authors who just gets it right in term of connecting me to the characters, she get its right- it touches my heart (on the dot :)) after only a few pages :)- And I think she is the best among the few (sori sebab dah suka).

She builds up the background of the story, make you feel sympathy with the two main characters until you heart aches - then she makes them meet under very extra ordinary circumstance, fall in love only to be separated again and of course the climax is when they are united, once and forever :). I read many other authors of HR but I don’t think they get to me like JM does.

What else can I say?- the feeling that it evokes is just so beautiful and contagiously romantic. And no matter how snobbish, arrogant and cruel her hero is, you will fall in love with him still. You just cant help it.

Shamelessly I tell you that her books never fail to make me laugh out loud or cry (quietly)- in private and in public,- And she does not only do that- when her heroin's heart breaks – my heart breaks as well and it throbs unbearably (over la tu) selagi tak sampai ending happy , makan tak kenyang, tidur tak lena if tertidur , termimpi mimpi heheh.

How about you dear yang suka membaca (yang tak suka tak yah jawab hehe)? I love her historical romance more than her contemporary romance.

Have you read all her books? Any of you read the followings?
My favorites of all are almost heaven and something wonderful. I tak suka Whitney Mylove sebab dia rape bini dia uwaaaaaaaaaa – and it is so painfully sad :)

Do you have a special friend that you only can see but nobody else can? I was reading Cecelia Ahern's (CA) could you see me now- which  I picked up from my colleague's desk and got caught in it for 1 whole night- so the reading spirit is back  :), I guess

To date, I only read  2 of her books – thanks for the memories and the current one could you see me now-  both ( I assume all her books) have some kind of  magic touch in them- but I found her books quite slow and monotone sometime – because it lacks intense romance :D and intense humor. However, the anticipation is there and that what keep me going - so still bearable and readable lah

Anyway – baca buku tu and dapat la idea utuk merepek diblog ni.

Have you ever had an imaginary friend? or invisible friend? CA said- he or she is always around, some people see their friends because they just see them. Some others, people like us, don’t see them because we choose not to see them- J Wow, that is scary- like seeing dead people – when you see them, you just see them heheh

Let’s see,  I think that I did have a few of these friends  during my childhood year, when I played make believe and  pretended talking to them – But only when I played on my own. They did not come when there were other real friends/people around me and nope, my family did not have to tolerate her or him on a dining table or in a living room. You know like getting her to sit on her own chair, get her a plate and place food on it.

And as for my children, I think they have enough of themselves that they don’t need another type of friend :). Yes they like to berangan as if  they are Princess Batrisa or Princess Aleeya (tah sapa sapa tah tu), or puteri bunian :) and they demand that I call them by the name of Puteri So So and So So. Sometimes  I see them tergedik2 pretending as if they are princess J or at other time, they play mak mak and ayah ayah - talking quitely to their dolls/soft toys as if the thing is their baby,  but never once I saw them having direct conversation to any invisible individual – So I reckon that  they  don’t have any invisible friends with them. 

Thanks Allah for that hehe (though imaginary friends are normal and quite healthy in general - as this article says  here).

Once, I came across a girl (when I were in my teenage years) who sat on a sofa having a cordial and animated conversation with nobody. Beriya riya sungguh dia bercakap dengan tangan tangan nya as if explaining something. I was pretty sure that she was talking to her invisible friend :), because there was nobody sitting next to her. Hmm scary hehe.

How about you all semua ? :) - ada kawan invisible masa kanak- kanak ? or ada anak yang ada kawan invisible ? :D

Till later - adios

ps: I love PS I love you movie based on the book by the same author

Present & Past

I am in the thinking zone last night – where whys are the norms and answers are subjective and undefined. 

Why making everybody knows matter? Why must you? :D, but then again why mustn't you ?:D, sharing is caring, sharing spread happiness. To be happy and live on it alone would make life meaningless, I guess.

Why fairy tale does not exist? Or does it exist? How could ones who were inseparable then, now cant barely stand one another? – in regards to my friend’s sad life and the situation she is in.- we talked over "äll that you can eat” lunch in Bluewave – look at the lobster – nice eh?- finish all that you order or pay normal price, so beware –  better make  staggered  order nee J. But serving was slow.

Why must he died so young? Why sad ending? – in relation to the time travellers’wife (TTW) – sob sob – life was so unfair  - how does it feel ye to have somebody who died years ago come visiting you now  from the past. I feel it – I feel for the TTW- How does it feel to have part of you dying? How to sit by the window til you are 82 years old just to get that glimpse of your beloved one come visiting from the past?- how to run as fast as you can just to get a few seconds of hug or ended up crying because you  hug the air ?

Then, how will it be if each one of us can time travel ye? World will be in chaos – pieces of us were everywhere – I mean we can come from the past and future – and on a straight line there will be many of  us- the past and the future US- crazy, mind-boggling I tell you – where the start and the end overlaps , the first and the latter mixes up – anyway it is a fiction and I am too wrapped up in it.  

Real and fiction does not vary much, I think – happy moments only last a fraction of lifetime – so be in it- seize and hold on to it

NS- More than Romance

I have read a few of Nicholas Sparks (NS) books, so far. – Dear John , The Last Song, and now I am reading A Walk To Remember, (almost to the end) :)) and The lucky One – (concurrently also reading the host by Twilight Saga author, and Keeping Faith by JD heheh, ikut la mana yang I nampak – macam biasa my books are all over the place, bila nak sambung eh kat mana I letak tadi ye :))


I seldom read romance books by the male authors. Surprisingly, NS is as sweet as the lady authors :) and able to make me shed tears as well. One thing that I notice about NS’s books is they are always two in one. 2 love stories in one book and sometimes the non romance love story is much stronger than the romantic love.

And I think he is very good at exploring the father son /father daughter relationship. The confrontation or the miscommunication that teenagers always have with their parents and how at the end of the day, parent's love is much stronger than anything else –irregardless on how one turns out or has behaved or has become and how we should always appreciate our father because lifes with the love ones is just too precious  to be wasted away.


I also manage to get the dvd but Dear John the movie is a disappointment though -it almost changes the whole story, I cried at John's father who is suffering from a disorder called asperger - and how John's relationship with his father grows apart because he fails to understand that his father is not a normal father. The film, on the other hand, fails to show what John’s father really suffering from. And another thing is the book does not end happily ever after - and it is certainly a portrayal of a true love - sob sob so sad sad sweet book :)- Love demands great sacrifice. Love does not mean being together and all

                                    nasibla muka hero boleh tahan kan zarin hehe

 Can wait to get hold of his other books and I am looking for the last song movie :)

I start with one but finish with another :)

Last May, I started with Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult but then one day when I came back from work, I could not find the book on my bedside table so I malas nak cari :). So I continue reading JP's another book "the tenth circle".

Half way through it, I found my self flipping through the last song by Nicholas Spark. And there was suddenly this super duper power in me :D that moved me to the sky because then I was so engrossed in this book that I was able to finish it in less than 2 days :). ( yeah it is not that thick but my target is 1 month per book). Oh like zarin, I fell in love with NS - hensome gak gambar kat belakang buku tu heheh. And tak sabar nak cari the dvd version, si hanna montana berlakon :)

masa i baca buku ni i tersengih sengih heheh so gaya gaya movie macam romatic habis gak

The next day, I dropped by MPH and grabbed all that I could find on the shelf, dear john, a walk in the cloud and the lucky one. While going through Mr Google to look for the books images, I dropped by one blog which said that she will never read NS anymore. And she does not understand why people (like me) love it. The ending sometimes, is depressing. People die, love is not happily ever after and all. I dont know but I hate depressing books as well. And I hate books with no happy ending :) but since I am still in love with the author, so might as well  I read all. Hopefully, I wont find his books depriving me of my happy mood.:).

What happen to Keeping faith? - Sad to say that I still cannot find its whereabouts - I malas nak cari because I normally will not able to find the thing that goes missing :). When I dont look for it, it will somehow find its way towards me - as if dia leh berjalan huh - no worries, this is not the first time I read books half way because it goes missing - ni mesti ada tangan2 mungil sudah bawak my book kemana mana and campak belakang almari or belakang drawer.

As for JP - the tenth circle - woohooo :) I want to agree with Shopaholic Mama, memang JP plot berpusing pusing and it goes on and on at times it does make me want to skip one , 2 or  3 paragraphs or pages :) . I love her writing style but there is something missing. There is a 'thing':) that bugs me - cara flashback dia tu.  Hard to describe what it is- so I am just going to finish 'Mercy' and the missing book "keeping faith" before I decide whether to buy her other books or not.

Till then happy reading (read blogs pun ok :))

Karipap Cinta

Bahan2 nya
3 ulas rasa suka
1 botol hati gembira
1 biji rendah diri
2 cawan tolak ansur
5 keping kehormatan
secubit rasa rindu
3 batang tanggungjawab dipotong halus
3 bekas cita cita
10 guni kejujuran (diayak untuk membuang kata dusta)

Ramuan diadun dengan ilmu dan akal.
masukkan dalam kuali persahabatan, tunggu sehingga masak. Setelah masak,hidangkan bersama yang tersayang .

Dont you think this is cute ?:D - this is  a synopsis from novel karipap karipap cinta by Nazri M Annuar. Tak tahula buku ni untuk budak muda sesuai dibaca oleh saya ke tak but since saya perasan muda dan berjiwa muda boleh lah. Boleh lagi tersengih sengih.:) I will read this and pass to my sister later . I think AZ Haida, has written about this novel before.

Actually, I went to MPH to look for Lagenda Budak Setan - rasa hati dicarik carik nak baca juga. Vaguely, I remember reading them on a bus going to my school in the old days. Tersengih dan tergelak sorang sorang but sadly, I could not find the book. Macam biasala, time buku jadi movie semua buku sold out and out of stock. I really like Ahadiat Akashah at one point :). Not after later when I read his other books which are more matured and dealt with more serious issues that then I lose interest. Pening. But I remember Budak Setan. It was one of my favorite. Kena cari ni.

Dan juga kerana kejelosan terhadap sweet sour yang sudah terjatuh cinta dengan Si dia :) I grab these two :) Zarin, here I come.

I saw many of NS's books the last time I was here but now, I only can find these two tittles. Babe kalau jumpa the notebook sms me ye :)

Till then

Paulo C- Not my kind of book

Paulo Coelho - this is a tried and tested book  -by me- I took if off the shelf and I gambled with it. TG, I managed to finish Brida. But thanks also because I will not read another one of his books - I saw that he has another 12 tittles. Thank you but it is just not my kind of books . Heheh.


PC is a Brazilian and his English books are all translation. Easy to understand. Very straightforward. But Brida (I assumed that her other books are also the same, based on his other tittles) dwell on spiritual things- very deep- very abstract- very philosophical.  

Brida is about a women who wants to learn magic- in order understand what her gift or what she is capable of doing , she must learn "the tradition of the moon and the tradition of the sun" (to understand what the hell of this ja da buat I pening kepala dah :)).

In her quest for knowledge, she rediscovers her new self- Brida, the witch, she experiences greater love than ever and understands the whole wide world in a new perspective - how the visible world interconnects with the invisible world and how to  build a bridge between the two of them.

In certain ways, this is a beautiful story, especially on the portrayal of love by Magus- Brida's soulmate, the Guru on the tradition of the sun. How  he makes the greatest sacrifice of all - to let go the one that he loved the most - to love without being able to be with (or to own) the person.  

the author and a few of his other novels

The theme is my kind of theme :) but it is just not my book :), I took months to complete it - and finally I managed to pick it up again because I came across a chapter where Brida is determined to find her soul mate. The words soul mate is what keep me going - konon ada tempias romance heheh.

It is very fascinating though - how the book defines soul mate - there is a piece of us in others - who live through many years ago, who got reincarnated in the past or in the future. And if we come across this piece of us - then we find our soul mate- the me and the you are actually the same being before- these were One Self at one point of time - or so as the book puts in "in some reincarnation, an individual soul are divided into two, each of these then divide again into 2 and so on, there are  a bit here and there of ourselves,  our soul is then scattered all over the earth. At one point of one’s life, he or she can come across his or her soul mate" :D - - and the book also said that this is just like the story of the Eve, who comes from Adam - kononnya it follows the same theory , anyway this is a fictional book ok - so you dont have to believe it :)

Ps:
Yes, this book is quite spiritual in its own context, of course. But I read for the story and I am Ok.

I love you and only you

Hehe but you are a character in a book :( :)

I managed to grab 3 more books from MPH last week – to add up to my stack of unread books. MPH (and Popular and maybe the others), group 3 books for the price of 2 for some books from selective authors .



Among them are Alexandra Potter and Jodi Picoult. That's the thing, looking around is just not enough –it is good to avoid any book shop because if I go in, I have just got to buy books – a minimun of  1 book. It is really not necessary because I have many books that I have not read or manage to read halfway only :) (but since I start tepek kat blog ni - I try my best to habiskan baca and I berjaya dan berjaya hehe). Anyway, maybe  that what matters - the spirit, the enthusiasm, the drive and the motivation to read hehe. Betul tak kawan kawan? 

I was looking for Alexandra Potter – be careful for what you wish for but it is grouped together with Mr Darcy And Me and Do You Come Here Often which I have read :).


Mr Darcy And Me is the first book from AP that I read and I have listed it down as one of my favorites. It is about a girl/woman who could not find any other man in the real world to fall in love with because she was so besotted with the one in Pride and Prejudice . She hallucinated and daydreamt to the extend that she talked and laughed with Mr Darcy. hmm I can relate to this - you know like I am falling for Edward in  the Twilight series hehe - sungguh la romantic - when I read him - terasa terbang diawang awangan kekeke

I also read Potter’s Who That Girl Is - heroin of the book accidentally bumped into her 21- years-old self. When she found out that she could go back and forth between the past and the future, she wasted no time and tried to protect her younger self from making any stupid mistakes of her life - mistakes that she did before - like sleeping with a jerk who would eventually break her heart. This is more about you and your old self rather than about romance. Romance only comes towards the end but I enjoyed it still

Currently I am reading (about to finish dah) Do you come here often . And I think I like this book more than Mr Darcy and Me. It is about a girl who bumped into her first love and realized that they both still had a thing for each other. Though she was engaged and her ex was getting married. This is about the first love :)


If you love Sophie Kinsella – you will love Alexandra Potter :) but I do think that SK's books are funnier- kelakar, macam kartun - but AP kelakar control macho skit :D

Till then

PS:
Anybody of you read Jodi Picoult ? care to share?  So I got 3 of her books and I dont think they are romance - Keeping Faith, Mercy and The Tenth Circle.

I got the feeling that I will like her books because I managed to stand unmoving - at the bookshop about 20 minutes or so reading her other book - my sisters’ keeper (film yang cameron diaz berlakon tu, nope I have not watched it :)). Just trying to get the feeling.
