Happy New Year 2014

image's taken from web

In another few hours, we will bid adieu to year 2013 and welcome year 2014 whether we like it or not.  Some might greet it with much reluctance or while others would be welcoming the new year with arms wide open.

It's a rather wonderful day to sleep in as it's raining rather heavily and with nothing much to do for the whole day and not feel like doing much for the whole day, it's rather nice and to curl up in bed with a book and a nice mug of coffee and I'm going to do just that shortly!

For now, it the right time to take stock of this year before it's over. Purple Queen Fairy Reads will end this year on a pretty happy note. :)

This blog managed a total of 70 posts for the year which is 5 posts less than last year but all things considered, I'm quite at peace with it.  Circumstances changed and I am aware that I am not able to maintain the momentum that I had two years ago.

For this year, I am rather pleased happy with my book sales which I took part in July, September and October.  I hope to be able to make this an ongoing venture and be able to expand further my love of reading.  It was from this interest that this blog was established so that I can share about what I read and now I can share the books that I enjoyed reading with you makes it even fulfilling (if I can use this word :)

Moving forward to year 2014, I hope that it will be the year to bring this blog a bit further. How? I don't really know yet. The spirit is willing so I hope my flesh will go along with it too.

That would be all for this year.

Thank you for dropping by.   I'm humbled that you choose to do so.  Wishing you a wonderful and joyful new year ahead. May God bless you abundantly and may you be extraordinary in His name.  God bless.

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. ...
