2nd UPDATE!: bought 2 new books yesterday (27.03.2012) with the coupon again!
The Red Queen
by Philippa Gregory
this book is the parallel book to The White Queen.
can't wait to start reading these books!

A Discovery of Witches (from the All-Souls Trilogy, book 1)
by Deborah Harkness
i didnt know this book was a trilogy! noooo...
and the 2nd book is set to be released in 10 July 2012!
depending on how i like the book, i shall look forward to that day!

Also, last night, i have finished reading The Hunger Games trilogy! i wouldnt say i super love it like Harry Potter, but i LIKE it enough! :) but i think the ending should give more ... like at least a brief sweep on the changes and what happend to Panem! rather than just focusing on her only. (shall.not.leak.out.spoilers.)

id keep updating my "Currently Reading" section! keep a look out on what im reading! :)



UPDATE: new book! bought today! (11.03.2011) LOL!
The White Queen
by Philippa Gregory
RM35.90 @ Popular
(bought with the RM200 book voucher)


***

this blog deserves an update! as ive mentioned in my previous post, i am having problems with my SD card! so no real updates with pictures!

but here is an update that i am able to provide that allows me to "steal" the pictures online! xD

see over the course on my 3 months break, i have spammed the bookstores sales and book fairs alike! MPH was generous with their prices during the fair (and when i say fair, i just mean like a medium-sized set up infront of the actual store that sell certain titles for cheap!). so, ive been to a few of those, a relocating sale (also MPH), book sales at Popular, and have hauled a relatively good amount of books.

also, this is somewhat a haul post, so id skip the reviews on the books ive read,  kay? :)

i am going to group the list into 3 (so i wont have to keep repeating myself):

1. Books that i bought cause it was cheap! and the back sounded cool/appealing/good-enough!
Night World Series book 1 - 3
by L. J. Smith
RM9 per book
ive only read the first book, it was ok, but i stopped cause i found out that the series was incomplete, and i didnt want to be left hanging, so i stopped. the 4th book and final book, i think is just released.

Everyone Worth Knowing
by Lauren Weisberger
RM9 @ Popular
(read)


2. Books that i have been meaning to get!
The Wolfs of Mercy Falls trilogy
(Shiver; Linger; Forever)
by Maggie Stiefvater
the box set cost me RM52.90 @ Popular!
again, i have only read the first book, Shiver; and as ive mentioned on Twitter,
i have stopped reading the second book, Linger (am currently in about the first quarter of the book), to start reading The Hunger Games.

Safe Haven
by Nicholas Sparks
RM10 @ MPH relocation sale


3. books that the little blurp behind enticed me.
The Pretender; The Empress Last Days
by Jane Stevenson
both books was about RM15+/- @ the MPH relocation sale
i have not touch these books cause well, they are book 2 and 3 respectively!
i couldnt find book 1, Astraea.
so naturally, i need to find book 1 first!

The Courtesan and the Samurai
by Lesley Downer
about RM19 @ the MPH relocation sale

Black Magic Sanction
by Kim Harrison
about RM19 @ the MPH relocation sale
this. again. is another series. a series with 10 books! and this is book 8!
=_____= clearly, i didnt know this.
now i have to collect the first 7! 


not to forget e-books.
the new additions are,
The Hunger Games trilogy
(The Hunger Games; Catching Fire; Mockingjay)
by Suzanne Collins
am currently reading, The Hunger Games! and i am hooked! xD

so, the first half of my holidays, i was really into my books. and book sales was just fueling my addiction. LOL. (i say the first half cause towards the end of my holidays, i was hooked watching TV, so not much reading was done.) but now its back! mainly because there is nothing for me to watch! or more specifically, nothing that i have interest in watching. 

needless to say, my list of wanted books have expanded! and trust me there is more to come! what with the RM200 book voucher! :D

ps: my Uni has started! and oh boy! so much for it being a easy and smooth sailing! T.T
LAST SEM! I CAN DO THIS!
