I think I’m doing pretty good, and I’m excited that I will be able to mark this one off. Any great suggestions? I’m open to anything…

One down: Water for Elephants. Now working on Wicked by Gregory Maguire.

I am also one of those who has many unread books on my shelves. I’m currently reading ‘Chainfire’ by Terry Goodkind, and ‘The Eye of the World’ by Robert Jordan. Wish me luck!

read celebrity detox by rosie o’donnell. more of a trashy read.

I just finished “How To Enjoy Your Life And Your Job” by Dale Carnegie. This is an interesting read. It gives some solid advices for personal and professional growth. This book seems like a combination of Carnegie’s 2 other book How to Win Friends and Influence People & How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. I’m planning to read those later.

Have now also read “Blood of Innocents: The True Story of Multiple Murder in West Memphis, Arkansas” by Guy Reel. I’ve had this book for a long time as I’m extremely interested in the west memphis 3 case. However, I’ve always avoided reading it as I didn’t like the way it was written in relation to Mara Leveritt’s book on the same subject.

Have read it now and yes, I hated it. Totally recommend Mara’s book though…

Have also read “Eleven Minutes” by Paulo Coelho, one of my favourite authors. My dad lent me the book months ago and I still haven’t picked it up. Was totally different from his other books but I still really enjoyed it – I love how inspired I feel after reading Paulo’s work.

Am now reading “Panic” by Jeff Abbott. To be honest, so far Im not enjoying it as much as “Relentless”...

We’ll see though. =]

It was quite good – but not excellent. Easy to follow, and it did grab my attention at times when I couldn’t put the book down but it wasn’t like “Wooah!!” or anything. :)

Plot was a bit stupid but I’d recommend it if you want an easy read and nothing too challenging. I liked it, but then again, I just accept things and don’t ask too many questions… whereas my bf is always like:

“But that doesnt make sense… but he wouldn’t have done that… but what about him?... I saw that plot twist coming a mile off… Blah, blah…”.

Bring on the next book. :)

I love reading.

I have so many unread books on my shelves and so many books that I’ve started and then found something better to do. There are so many books that I’d love to read if only I had the time to sit down for longer than 10 minutes…

So I’ve decided to make more effort to find this spare time. As honestly, I love nothing more than to cuddle up on the sofa under a blanket and lose myself in a good book.

Last night my housemates were both working til midnight and instead of watching repeat episodes of Friends all night as usual, I went and bought a book. I got into bed at 8pm and I read til I fell asleep, then I woke up and read it while drying my hair, and then while waiting for the bus, and then while eating my breakfast… :)

The book is Relentless by Simon Kernick. I’m really enjoying it even though all the reviews I’ve read regarding it have been really poor. I’ll let you know what I think when I’ve finished it though. :)

I remember the movie starring Michael J. Fox based upon Jay McInerney’s book “Bright Lights, Big City” as being a little faster paced than the book turned out to be. But I was very happy with the book actually.

It took just a little more than a day to finish, and reminded me quite a bit of his contemporary writer Bret Easton Ellis (who’s book “Lunar Park” is one of my favorites of 2006 and quite possibly all time).
