Not My Choice


The MCO (Movement Control Order) in my country lasted about two months and then subsequently, it was followed by the CMCO (C being conditional).

I actually tried out a few new authors during the MCO and CMCO.  Some I read for  just a few pages, some I persevere on for at least 50 to 100 pages but then I just decided that these are not the kind of books that I like and so I gave up on them.

For the purpose of recording, here are some of them.



They are just not my choice.  This doesn't mean that they are not good.  Just that I didn't like them.  It could mean that someone else out there might enjoy reading them. Just not me.

For the record, I read about 13 - 14 books over the MCO period of 2 months (mid March to about mid May).  I didn't keep track of what I read during CMCO as I was at work then.  Probably not much.

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 confidence in myself The girl
