My purchases from Popular Warehouse Sales

If you are in Kuching and you love to read, chances are you might already have been to the Popular Warehouse Sales held on the 5th Floor of Permata Carpark. The sales started on Friday, 27 May which is the start of the school holidays and will run until Sunday, 5 June.  So, what did you get?

I went on the evening of the 1st day (flu and all) and these are what I got :


1. A boxset collection of 3 books written by Madonna! They are in hardcover and with very pretty illustrations.  I'll share more with you next time.  It's for RM10 only!

2. 3 paperbacks written by Jacqueline Wilson at RM3 each only.  There are for teens and I have an up-and-coming teen at home right now.  She is still in her princess' and fairy books and Geromino Stiltone stage but I know it won't be long before she moves on.

3.  When The Boys are Away and Take a Chance (2 books in 1) by Sarah Webb. Never read Sarah Webb but hey, 70% mark down?  I only pay RM6 for this.

4.  Three Girls and their Brothers by Theresa Rebeck in trade paperback. Never heard of this author but do you know that this is only for RM1.  Yup....One only! No typo there.

5. Last but not least, The Guy Not Taken by Jennifer Weiner.  I didn't had a good experience with an earlier book by Jennifer Weiner but at RM5, I'll take a chance.  And I check - no Kate Klein.

That's all.  A total haul of RM31 (US$10?).  Is that a steal or what?

Tralalalalala......... *that's me singing a happy tune* :)

A battle lost and won I’ve loved and lost I’ve loved and won Such is the conclusion I came to in my battle in this simple but  complicated feelings called love. Going back in time to more than twenty odd years ago seems like a lifetime away  but yet, feels also just like yesterday I’ve loved hard and deep and when I let go of that love, I thought my world ended Well, I was wrong.   My world didn’t end.  It was a chapter of my life that came to an end and since then I  have written many more chapters. But time and again, I find myself revisiting that time The time when I thought I’ve loved and lost I was twenty four and he was thirty one I was young and naïve and he was the man of the world I was intrigued by him, he was captivated by me The girl who drank Jack Daniels and knew about war aircrafts  and read about espionages. He introduced me to stuff unknown to me and taught me golf and how to have conf...

Birthright by Nora Roberts

Image
Synopsis : When 5,000-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger and romance. While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project – fueling rumours that the site is cursed. She must also cope with the presence of her irritating – but irresistible – ex-husband, Jake. And when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she must question her own past as well. If you are familiar with Nora Roberts works such as Montana Sky, Carolina Moon, Angels Fall , then you would have an idea the type of story she turns out. They made good hallmark movies out of these books. Nora Roberts also wrote as JD Robb but that’s another story. Birthright follows similar pattern. Callie is the heroine and the story revolves around her with murders, arson, etc. ...
