Logos Hope in Kuching - July 2013

Hello again
 Hope Logos is finally in Kuching.  It arrived on Thursday, 11th July and open itself to the public the next day.  I went to pay a visit that very Saturday


Karen Kingsbury's collection

The type of books are more or less the same as per previous visit by the ship two years ago.  As expected, there were different titles and more selection of books.  There’s a whole collection of Karen Kingsbury but not her new titles.

I badly wanted this
 There’s a whole collection books by of Bodie & Brock Thoene and the AD Chronicles caught my attention.  This is a 12-book series and the ship has 11 of the titles.  I was very torn on whether to get it as to purchase 11 books will dent my coffer drastically and I wasn’t sure if I would like the series.  In the end, I decided to just get the first book and if I do like it, I guess I can wait for the ship’s next visit and pray that they stock the titles!

Happy :)
I also managed to get Summer, book #2 in the Sunrise Series.  This completes the whole series and the ball is now in my court for me to finish reading the series. The wild card in my purchase would be Prophet by Frank Peretti.  I have a book that he co-write with Ted Dekker so it was just out of curiosity that I decided to add it to my collection.

Good Night
All in all, it was a pleasant visit to Hope Logos.  I might go again before the ship sails off on 1st August but even if I don’t I’m rather happy with what I got from the ship.

    It doesn't come to Sibu anymore... Maybe too far inland and the water is not deep enough, I wouldn't know...but there was one that would come every year when I was young and still in school. Enjoyed going and checking it out then...

An Original Work of Fiction - A Battle Lost and Won

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. ...
