I'm having an awesome time today. I went to the mall with my boyfriend and bought a lot of books. Some that I really wanted and some new ones I hadn't seen before. I'll post later about them.

I love books. I really do. But sometimes I forget about them and don't read for months. I can't really focus on many things at the same time so it's either book/anime/manga or whatever else. I don't know why, I'm just weird. Lately I've been buying lots of books (that I don't even read). It's because they sound so good at the time that I just have to buy them. I've decided to stop doing that though. But, from what I've read lately some are great and others not so much.  This was my second chick-lit book and the first good one. I'm so glad I decided to try reading a Sophie Kinsella book. It was a great read. The premise was simple. Emma Corrigan thinks she is going to die in an airplane ride and spills all of her secrets to the passenger next to her (who just happens to be extremely handsome). And then she finds out he's the CEO of the company she works at! I loved this book so much!!! It had so many fun moments. Emma is so silly, but amusing. And Jack Harper was handsome and mysterious. Definitely a must-read! Especially if you're as into Meg Cabot's writing as I am! Kinsella's writing reminded me a lil bit of Meg. #2- Fiancé at her Fingertips - Kathleen Bacus  Debra Daniels buys a gag box at a novelty store which includes the perfect way to get rid of all those people nagging you to find a man. I sure wish I could get one of those. Anyways, "Lawyer Logan" as the box calls him ends up appearing at Debra 's door!!! And there's also a sort-of unexpected turn halfway through the novel. I've been reading romance novels for some months now. They've been good, but what I mostly read was dramatic novels. Not that I'm not into them, but I'm more of a comedy kind of girl. So when I got my hands on Fiancé at her Fingertips, I wanted to read it right away. And it was such a fun experience! I couldn't put it down. It had many laugh out loud moments. I don't laugh that easily anymore so that means this book really was funny. With a hint of paranormal thrown in!! And now some new additions to my To-be-read list. It keeps growing and piling up.     I'm almost catching up to the Viz releases of Love*Com. I love this series as both an anime and manga. It's so hilarious!! Go Risa!!! And after the great read that was Can you keep a Secret? I just had to buy The Undomestic Goddess. I want to buy at least all of Kinsella's standalone novels since I don't want to get into any more series for now. Then there is Queen of Babble. I'm a HUGE Meg Cabot fan and I obviously want to read all of her books. So now I'm going to read the QoB series. I admit it sounds a little bit like Can you keep a secret?, but I don't care because it sounds awesome too. And the last one, A Promise of Romance. I finally found a yaoi novel at Borders. That's highly unlikely at the local Borders because they never have the books I want. And they don't really carry much yaoi titles. I almost bought Sweet Admiration too, but I couldn't spend any more money. :( For the next one I guess. Ah, I've got a lot of books to read. Aside from these ones, there's around 40 more in my TBR pile. That's gonna take a while... |
