Isy isy isy.... tak sabar-sabar nampaknya Suzieana ni!!
Teeheeeheeeeheeee
Baru a few days ago bagi my daughter this book to read (she wanted one of "Mama's books") - her verdict = "cerita ni sedih sangat la Ma..."
Langsung laaa ni she went back to YA hahaha
Nak kejar 100 books tu tak lah agaknya. Sampai yang terdaya je heheh.
After all it's about enjoying the written word isn't it? :D
58. When the Emperor Was Divine by Julie Otsuka
I should be more moved by this book. After all, it's about being Japanese in the US during WWII, about being hauled off to internment camps, about being segregated. But ehh, no. Too unfeeling. I didn't feel hooked into the injustice.
59. Leave It to Me by Bharati Mukherjee
Terrible. Don't even attempt lah. I had such high hopes for this one, what with it being a New York Times notable book; having rave reviews from the Boston globe, the San Francisco Chronicle, People, New York Daily; it being inducted into the Ballantine Readers' Circle, it having a group reading guide.
Ehhh, tak payah. Ms Mukerjee's jalan cerita pingpong-ing here there everywhere. Erratic would sum it up. Erratic. Erratic. Erratic. If it weren't for my severe respect for the published tome, this one nak aje aku carik-carik buat bin-liner.
Semalam I went to Summit USJ and ter-chanced on buntings:
what? Popular Warehouse Sale
where? 4th Floor Summit USJ
when? Starts 20/11 (what date it ends I can't for the life of me remember)
why? apparently up to 80% discount
Huaaaaa! More sales when I'm on a strict book-buying diet!
My kids pun macam tak percaya muahahahaha my no.3 dah membodek nak ke mph cari the latest instalment of Wimpy Kid. And we know how a trip to the bookstore usually ends 'kan... ohhh tidaaaakkk
Hahahaha (tapi saya masih gigih berpegang pada janji taknak beli buku dah tahun ni...) (aduhhh, peritnya!)

56. Is Kissing A Girl Who Smokes Like Licking An Ashtray? by Randy Powell
And the answer is.....? :D
I don't have particular reading times or habits. What I do have is lotsa waiting time - tunggu anak keluar sekolah, keluar tuition, keluar ngaji, habih main bola etc etc etc. Also at traffic lights and masa traffic jam.
I read whilst waiting!
But oh, if the book is particularly susah, then I read at the dining table with my huge Oxford dictionary open and pencil in hand (I 'collect' bombastic words. I underline them and write their definitions at the bottom of the page). Yes, yes, I'm weird like that hahahaha
ISYYYYY!!! Hari ni start marshall cavendish sale and I have stuck to my guns and not gone to even have a look-see (yes, you know what a look-see always ends up as..)
And now BigBadWolf pulak...?!! Arrrggghhhhhhhh!!! Tidaaaakkkkkk!!! Tercabar iman ku weiii
Nomorebooksformethisyear huaaaa
Muahahahaha ini kena cari dvd ciplak ni...! *wink*
And so I do like Faizah's I-can't-be-bothered approach!!
I beg to differ... sebab I can never sort out books successfully. It's fun, but never satisfying sebab I always end up on the floor poring through the books, flicking thru tengok gambar, thinking I-should-read-this-next to berapa puluh buku hahahaha
55. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo
Sigh. Cerita ni teramatlah simple, tapi sedih sangat. Jalan cerita bagus, ending pun bagus. Macam The Velveteen Rabbit.
Mana Bunnybaby? Baca buku ni! :)
If you know where Summit USJ is, turn right at the crossroads traffic lights before you hit Giant + Mydin. Along this road lah :)
(This, from a person supposed to be restraining herself from buying more books this year. Hrrmmmph, iye lah tu...)
