One of my favorite pastimes is reading. The first thing I do in the morning is read the online news, if I don't I feel incomplete. I love chic lits, mysteries, adventures and thrillers. I'm not so much into sci-fi though. All that scientific jargon can be pretty confusing for me :(I've been keeping this Book Meme from Rozella and I think it's time to do it, or else I'll never get it done. Doesn't help that I've been very lazy these past few days. Sakit kepala woh thinking about the price increase... if only money grew on trees. All those money plants I've planted don't seem to have any effect... I feel like throwing those pots into the drain!! *sori banyak membebel*
OK, let's get on with the meme :~
Pick up the nearest book. This one I cheated cos I actually selected a book, so sue me!! *Wui, ganas!!*
Go to page 123.

Not weirdos or losers or married men. She waited until Jo went out with Lily for lunch, then she turned to her computer. Maybe she could shop for a man the same way that she'd bought new clothes.
This excerpt is from Twice Upon A Wedding by Jean Stone
By the way, I'm not tagging anyone... so you can breathe easy now... hehehe

Hola Nessa! I just don't have the time to read much la nowadays. But I still read my goss mags la he he! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd btw, seeing this meme reminded me that I was tagged with this one months ago!! Oooopsie! ;)
hi! is she good? i've been looking for new authors to try out ;-)
ReplyDeleteI also paling don't like sci-fi stuff. Hehehe Thanks for doing the tag ya?
ReplyDeleteBtw, I say Bolos already! That game show ba kan? Banyak they copy from Japanese game shows and itu lagi hilarious if you saw cos adults yang doing all the stuff and some in business suits lagi! Hehehe
Marzie ~ Well, I heard they're going to increase the price of books soon... I don't think I can afford them anymore :*(
ReplyDeleteI used to love reading mags esp. Mademoiselle, Cosmopolitan & Cleo (those days masa muda2 dulu la). Now, I'd rather buy foodstuff and other essential items. The things you sacrifice once you have kids :)
Hi Caryn! Welcome to Mumblings :D
ReplyDeleteI've only read this book of hers, I was not disappointed. I'm looking for her other books, but have not been successful so far.
Thanks for dropping by!
Rozella ~ I get confused when I read sci-fi books. How to enjoy if confused kan. No probs, I enjoyed doing the tag... pretty straightforward :)
ReplyDeleteYup, I love game shows provided the hosts don't annoy me! Those Japanese game shows are hilariously funny, I wonder where/how they get those crazy ideas from...
Ooohhh.. books!! I love books.
ReplyDeleteBut now I have been overloaded by books. EVerytime Rozie comes over she brings one book, I have now yet to finish 5 of 'em! I've really been meaning to but between taking care of the kids, doing blog assignments, trying to bloghop, and getting enough rest, I have unsuccessfully finished reading them. Normally, if I were not too bz, I think I'd be able to finish a book a day. :(
Anyways, I find Rachel Gibson a pretty funny chick lit author too. :)
Sorry lah ya, if I ndak tercomment most of your posts.. my Google reader has more than 1000+ blog updates for me to read!! Matailahhh...
Shemah ~ Alaa... don la say sori. Sia ni pun inda tervisit semua in my blogroll. Rasa susah hati pun ada. Adui, banyak jua ko mo baca tu! Slow and steady ah.
ReplyDeleteBaiknya hati si Rozella, kalau sia abis suda sia baca tu :D Itu pun kalau interesting dia punya story. If not, berhabuk la di sana lemari.
Nanti sia cari Rachel Gibson, I heart chick lit books :D
