Recommended Reading for Halloween

 

Want something different to read for Halloween? Try Quirk Classic’s list of popular classic books that have been revived with a touch of the ghoulish. Today’s The Star newspaper wrote an article on the books by Quirk Classics in its Reads Monthly section and I agree with the article’s statement that “American publisher Quirk Classics has done something unique for the great works of fiction: revitalising interest in them by adding “otherworldly” elements such as zombies and sea monsters.”

There are four books under this publication and I’ve actually read Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. I absolutely loved the book and you can find my review here. I also have Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monster as well as Dawn of the Dreadfuls in my TBR Pile which I hope I’ll be able to read sometime soon. I enjoyed reading Pride & Prejudice & Zombies and have no doubt that the other books under Quirk Classic’s are fun to read as well.

If you get a copy of today’s Star article there is a 30% discount voucher on any of the four Quirk Classics books featured in selected Popular Bookstore... woohooo... guess I’ll get to buy myself a copy of Android Karenina to complete my collection.

PS-- I absolutely LOVE the book covers!

Happy Halloween

So what's everybody doing this Halloween weekend? Unlike everyone else (probably attending costume parties), I'm spending some quality time at home with hubs tonight. I was hoping to watch Paranormal Activity 2 but it's not out yet in Malaysia... darn! Anyway, here's hoping that everyone is enjoying their weekend as much as I am.

Absent But Present

I have been absent from the blogosphere for quite a while but have been keeping up with everybody’s updates on a daily basis. 2010 has been a very challenging year for me and I made a cautious decision to quit blogging and reading for a while to concentrate on other aspects in my life.

AND... Since I had to put aside blogging and reading for a while, obviously I’m way behind on my challenges for 2010. There’s no way that I can meet all the challenges that I’ve signed up for but at least I managed to finish my Sookie Stackhouse Challenge this year. To date, I’ve only managed to read about 30+ books... yeah, nothing to shout about but anyway moving forward let’s hope I’ll do better next year. 

Any hoots... the good news is: Three months ago, I found out I’m PREGNANT! Yes people... I am gonna be a mommy! It’s been amazing and I hope to write more about my first time experience being pregnant and maybe get some useful tips from all you experienced mommies out there!

 

The first time I saw the baby on the scanner, my heart did a back flip. All I could think about was “Seriously? There’s something growing INSIDE me?!” I can’t describe the feeling except that it felt really awesome to know that both hubs and I are gonna be parents if all goes well. 

So mommies out there, if you have any tips or books you would want to recommend for parenthood, bring it on. I need all the tips I can get.

I’m about three months preggers now so I still have a LONGGGGG way to go. But in the meantime, I’m LOVING the attention I get from hubs so am gonna make full use of it while I can... hehehe...

Laters, XOX.
