fill up my book shelf with new books

Jed and I went to check out the last day of the MPH Clearance Sale. While I didn’t find the books I really wanted (more from Neil Gaiman & Bagshawe) I eventually went home with the following:

• Innocence (Kathleen Tessaro)
• The Flirt (Kathleen Tessaro)
• The Appeal (John Grisham)
• Little Earthquakes (Jennifer Weiner)
• The One Thing You Need to Know (Marcus Buckingham)
• Last Lecture (Randy Pausch)
• Weekend Millionaire Mindset (Sumney & Dawson)

I might start with The Appeal first but the ones by Tessaro look really intriguing. Nine more to read to make it 25 books for 2008! I love this goal! :D

Went out to lunch with a friend and he surprised me with a gift – the book entitled “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. He swears every collection should have a copy of this book. I was really touched by his kind gesture. Am keen to start reading it.. soon!

..I really need to find time to do some serious reading.
:p

• Fast Company’s Greatest Hits – I love the e-magazine, even bought a few copies when I could spare the cash (they’re not cheap here!). I don’t read the articles as fervently as I used too, but when I saw this book, I couldn’t pass the chance to own one.

• Turning Thirty (Mike Gayle) – I don’t usually read bloke lit, but I thought this should be interesting. See if I can draw parallels to my own perils of turning thirty (okay, even if it was a few years ago!).

..has been extended with these recent additions, thanks to the MPH warehouse sale. :)

that they’re now on a stack on the floor, waiting for permission to fit in to the book shelf.

..at MPH over the weekend. I spent only RM55 (equivalent to USD17) and got four books:

• The one you really want (Jill Mansell)
• The first $20 million is always the hardest (Po Bronson)
• LiveStrong (Lance Armstrong Foundation)
• The friend who got away (Edited by Jenny Offill & Elissa Schappell)

Pleased as cheese.. :)
