New Year 2012

Hi all!

Happy new year! Meant to post some projects, but got too lazy, because of the holiday and all.
Plus, I'm in the middle of reading this book: The Hunger Games for 3 days straight.. and now I'm done.
What an exciting book, I can't put it down.. so whenever I have free time, I just read and read..
Since the book is not available in Indonesia, I just bought it via kobo in ipad.
I can say that reading in ipad is kind of weird.. I'm a paper person, and I have to wait for my ipad to be recharged everytime the batery goes to 0%, to be able to continue reading.

Since this is new year, my husband is so eager to have my bookshelves to be cleaned up, to be tidy and all. That means, I have to purge more fictions that I have. So here are the latest fiction that goes on sale:

It is hard to part with these books for me, because I still read them over and over. Like Stephanie Meyers Twilight series book, for movie goers, I can understand that it's a weird concept. But if you just read the book, it's all about love stories, and it's beautifully written. I still think that Breaking Dawn movie was awesome, despite some bad reviews, because it almost stay true to the books and to the feelings of it.
But, like my husband says, space is expensive. I have to make room for more new books that I'll buy. *wink wink*

Okay, to order, just sms me at: 0817.0333.0687, with the name of the book and your address, so I can calculate the shipping fee as well.

That's all for today!

more books for sale

Hi all..

as I was cleaning out my book shelves, I have to purge out some more books to make room for the new ones.

So here are some of them, with the same price, Rp 45,000. If you are interested, just sms me.
All these books are in good conditions. And all of them are good reading. It's just that I won't read them twice, so my husband says, out they go. I still have the complete set of the Twilight series that I can't let go of....

happy monday everyone!

newly bought books

I know I know..

how can I do like 3 posts in a day? It's because while I can, I post. Because who knows when can I post with my new schedules? I need to take my oldest to school everyday and hang out there, and some afternoons I have to work out. Which takes time. No more internet time when there's working out (as in exercise) days.

Today is the day that I went to bookstore to buy a princess book for my eldest daughter, as a reward for her not crying at her new school for 5 days straight. Ergo, it's also an excuse for me to buy books that I've been wanting to read. I took the photos with the leme leme app in iphone 4, look how pretty they are, eh?

These will give me something to do while I'm waiting for Claire at school... yay!!

book review

Hi again today..

It's been so long since I post a blog on a book review. So I decided to do that today.
I've been reading this book about Cleopatra, it's a new arrival books, and it's on the Amazon best-seller.
The book reads like history book. All about facts. When I bought it I thought it's going to be like a novel light reading, but it's not. Lots of historical facts, and it's interesting in a way. If you don't like history, then don't read it. But if you do, it's very interesting reading.
For example, the places in the bible come alive in this book. Talking about King Herod, Ephesians, Philippi, Rome of course, and Jewish people.
I didn't see the movie Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor, so I have no idea about her detailed relationship with Julius Cesar and Mark Anthony. I thought, how can she married two guys? Is she betraying one for the other? Apparently, Julius died, and then she was Mark's mistress. Oops.. sorry for the spoiler.. he he he..

Another one is Free Food for Millionaires, by Min Jin Lee. It's a very thick book, but it's so well written. All the emotions and the situation in the book, is so very relatable to any asians living in USA. I recommend them highly for your reading. I can't put down the book till 4 am in the morning. It's that good. Or, i'm a bookaholic. tee he he....

The reason I sold these two books is that I know I don't want to read them anymore, albeit they're good. I need to make more space for my new books, which I keep buying. My husband can't take it anymore with the overflow of the bookshelves, I have to stack two rows of book in a shelf and he doesn't like it at all. So.. I really have to choose books that he hasn't read and I want to read it over and over again to keep.

Here's the photos of my own book. If you want to buy the books, just contact me on the mentioned number.
More post coming soon.

Happy weekend everyone!

might as well, while waiting for my husband to finish his workout, i post something here..
Here's another book that I read:

I'm a fan of Ms. Binchy. She usually wrote about people in Ireland, and I've been buying all her books and collect them. It's a leisurely read.
This time it's about a guy who's going nowhere on his life, and suddenly he's given one chance to do something with his life, with the help of his cousin and the town's people. It's a lovely book.

Since this is also weekend, I also want to post about the beautiful desserts they have over at pinterest:

makes you wanna eat cakes this weekend? he he he...

And.. can someone inform me or leave a comment as to where's the best macaroons in jakarta? I heard someone famous is opening one macaroon store in kemang....but not sure where exactly..

enjoy....
