Is kissing a girl who smokes like licking an ashtray?


Though this book is meant for young adults I enjoyed reading it. Love the characters. The story is about Biff the nerd and how he has a hard time with girls. Basic plot but great characters.
I rate this book 8.5/10

Mine are spectacular!

I was just expecting a silly book when I picked this up at the MPH warehouse sale. Where in Malaysia can you find a paperback for only RM9?! It's usually RM26 or more! So people with no pay like yours truly only buy books at the hot and humid warehouse sale or borrow from the library (hot and humid at times). Loved this book, I love the main character because she's so positive and adventurous ( I read a lot but still have trouble with spelling! Please help!) I always try to be more positive and try harder to be more adventurous. Really, the cover does not do justice to the book.

I'd rate the book 8.5/10

Always and Forever


Enjoyed this book. The main characters are three women, all with different issues to deal with. I don't think any men would enjoy this book but I think it's a really good chick lit :) The three women deal with issues that I can relate to now or some other point in my life. Especially about being a working mother and dealing with the guilt of not being with your kids. I never really shared my feelings with friends whom I feel truly understand the guilty feeling. It feels nice to have something in common with another person albeit a fictional one..hehe

I rate this book 8.5/10

The mermaid chair


Loved this book. It was a refreshing read after reading so many murder mysteries and thrillers. Sue Monk Kidd writes beautifully. Should I read The Secret Life of the Bees or watch the movie? After reading Twilight the movie to me was worse than terrible. So I don't want to spoil the movie experience by reading the book cause Oprah loved the bee movie..and I trust Oprah. :)

The only downside to the book is the woman's infidelity. It's something I prefer not to read about. Haha, but really couldn't avoid it as it's a big part of what the book is about. Itula amik buku kat library tak baca synopsis. :)

Overall it'd give it an 8/10.
