Oh whee~ reading is life... Hmmmm.... Actually more an obsession >.<


	Glitter Baby Forfatter: Susan Elizabeth Phillips ISBN: 0061438561	Finally got around to finish it. I think the plot is good and the characters are quite well developed. The total time span covered in the book is like 30 years? may have to read it again cos it was chopped into too many parts.

	The Sparkling One Forfatter: Susan Mallery	Now I finally know the reason behind the titles. Solid storyline but you'll really grow to hate the family. If it were my first marcelli book I'd have skipped out on the rest seeing the double standrads of the traditional family.

	The Sassy One Forfatter: Susan Mallery	Francesca's story. So so I guess. If I were a guy I'd totally freak if I found out that I had fathered a child. Luckily I'm female and its fairly obvious if there's a bun baking.

	Girl at Sea Forfatter: Maureen Johnson ISBN: 0060541466	interesting plot. You'll really feel the heroine's frustration with her father.

	A Knight in Shining Armour Forfatter: Jude Deveraux ISBN: 0099759500	Madame borrowed it specially for me. Her fav book. Erm. I thought the sec half was better. If not for the high recommandation from mdm I would not have gotten throught the first 2 chaps. I dun think liberated women act like dougless.

	Suite Scarlett Forfatter: Maureen Johnson ISBN: 0545096324	No happily ever after, no excessive unbelievable charactersand scenarios. Only good narrative with solid character development. Key to the golden thunderbird was the first book by Maureen Johnson that I read glad that I like this one as much.

	See Jane Score Forfatter: Rachel Gibson ISBN: 0060009241	I liked this book. Makes me wanna go watch ice hockey. Didnt know that sport teams were so supersitious though

	Swoon Forfatter: Nina Malkin	With a title like this what did u expect... I only borrowed it cos of the review by karen marie moning. Quite compelling. Can't say that I totally agree with the heroine on a lot of things. But then it has been pointed out that I've never been in love.

	Blood Matters: From Inherited Illness to Designer Babies, How the World and I Found Ourselves in the Future of the Gene Forfatter: Masha Gessen	The book was more on how the author found out abt her risk of getting breast/ovarian cancer and how she struggled to deal with it. The history of how genetic testing came abt and the discovery of disease causing gene were interwoven. I thought it was good.

	Truly Madly Yours Forfatter: Rachel Gibson ISBN: 0380801213	Ahh!!! I totally love love love this book!!!! For once everyone is flawed and the HEA took abt 8? months to happen. But then I spotted 3 errors in the printing and there was A PAGE MISSING from the copy I got. OMG. Hope they re issue this book.

	The Seductive One Forfatter: Susan Mallery	This book totally make me wanna raid the cabinets for wine and learn all abt them. Set in vineyards and includes wine making processes.... so fascinating. Wanna go wine tasting in Cali!!!

	True Confessions Forfatter: Rachel Gibson ISBN: 0060772743	really entertained by the antics of Hope.

	Sealed with a Kiss (Ty and Hunter, Book 2) Forfatter: Carly Phillips ISBN: 0373772394	Eh. I think I might have read Cross my heart too. Not a bad story, but I don't really like the writing style. Having a murder as a back story, it could have been so much more exciting

	Falling for Gracie Forfatter: Susan Mallery	No unexpected pregnancies, no happily ever after after only days together, believable plot. Only didnt like some of the secondary characters much...

	Tangled Up In You Forfatter: Rachel Gibson ISBN: 0061178039	The third book in the series and the last for me to read. Not bad I guess... But I seriously don't get the initial attraction that every romance author seem to rely on.

	The Marcelli Bride (The Marcelli Sisters of Pleasure Road, Book 4) Forfatter: Susan Mallery ISBN: 0743499573	This was the man boobs book I was talking about. I think I just fell in love with the Marcelli family.

	I'm In No Mood For Love Forfatter: Rachel Gibson ISBN: 0060773170	My first rachel gibson book. Kinda regret not knowing the author before the nlb book exchange. I'm convinced that I saw her books there T.T

	Not Another Bad Date (Avon Romance) Forfatter: Rachel Gibson ISBN: 0061178047	The last book in the series. I think I like this the best. Espescially the first chapter on the funeral.

	Sex, Lies, and Online Dating Forfatter: Rachel Gibson ISBN: 0060772913	the first book with the 4 writers. I love it XD mystery + romance all rolled into one. Have been pretty hung up on serial killers after to many episodes of criminal minds

	Beach Babylon Forfatter: Anonymous ISBN: 0552156868	another of the expose as fiction book. Can't say that I enjoyed it much though.

	Delicious (The Buchanans, Book 1) Forfatter: Susan Mallery ISBN: 0373770561	Weakest book in the series to me. Maybe because its the first??? Or maybe its cos i read this last.

	Sizzling (The Buchanans, Book 3) Forfatter: Susan Mallery ISBN: 0373771762	I think this may be my fav book in the series. But I still dun get why the grandma was such a bitch.

	Tempting (The Buchanans, Book 4) Forfatter: Susan Mallery ISBN: 0373772106	I love this book!! baby girl of the family finding out that she's acutally the half sister looks for her real father and ends up with the bio dad's adopted son. XD

	Faefever (Fever, Book 3) Forfatter: Karen Marie Moning ISBN: 0385341636	Ah. The much awaited. Still havnt found it in me to enjoy this book. When the author feels a need to explain herself, you know that nothing good comes out of it. A lot of questions answered though. 'Bout time.

	Irresistible (The Buchanans, Book 2) Forfatter: Susan Mallery ISBN: 0373771177	I think I just found my new favourite author. Her books are long but I enjoy every minute XD I think I even like the evil grandmother a little!

	Wednesday Night Witches (Red Dress Ink) Forfatter: Lee Nichols ISBN: 0373895542	Chick lit through and through pleasure to read when stressed.

	Dogs and Goddesses Forfatter: Jennifer Crusie ISBN: 0312944373	Mythology meets real (fiction) life? I'd think its more romance than fantasy.

	Predictably Irrational Forfatter: Dan Ariely ISBN: 1607513943	Consumer behaviour? I think? I just enjoyed reading it... Light and very non-econ... There was even a chapter on placebos

	Survival of the Sickest LP Forfatter: Sharon Moalem ISBN: 0061232963	I really enjoyed this. May need some prior knowledge to fully understand. But a good informative read nonetheless.

	Fast Women Forfatter: Jennifer Crusie ISBN: 0312980159	Another Crusie book. I actually picked it up last year but didnt read it cos of the "generation" gap bet the character and me. But after a period of reading dry spell, I decided to give it another try and did not regret it.

	You Don't Know Jack (Brava Contemporary Romance) Forfatter: Erin McCarthy ISBN: 0758214103	Another classic comtemporary romance. Romance might have died in real life but its ver much alive in fiction XD

	When a Gene Makes You Smell Like a Fish: ...and Other Amazing Tales about the Genes in Your Body Forfatter: Lisa Seachrist Chiu ISBN: 0195327063	This is like a condensed version of metab and molecular genetics textbook. With complexed concepts simplified and hidden behind interesting medical conditions. This is wat I call life science.

	The Music of Life: Biology Beyond Genes Forfatter: Denis Noble ISBN: 0199228361	quite interesting. Links stuff that you won't normally think about.

	Blue Flame Forfatter: Jill Shalvis ISBN: 0451411684	I kinda like this author. And as usual, I have more interest in the supporting characters

	Big Boned (Heather Wells Mysteries) Forfatter: Meg Cabot ISBN: 0060525134	last of the heather wells mystery. I still dun get how Cooper suddenly "realised" that he loves Heather.

	New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2) Forfatter: Stephenie Meyer ISBN: 0316024961	I think I can dedicate one whole post to the evils of Isabella Swan's extremely screwed up thinking. Her image of a selfish user totally shines through. Some of the ideas are not bad. I esp liked that Volturi.

	Airhead Forfatter: Meg Cabot ISBN: 0545040523	Hmmmm... seriously light read. I dunno if its because I'm more used to complexed story arcs that play out in at least 500 pages or whatever.... but its entertaining and I'm looking for the sequel

	Bloodfever Forfatter: Karen Marie Moning ISBN: 0440240999	ok its good, but seem to lack a bit of action.... but being part of a series I guess its expected. I went ahead and bought it but cant seem to find darkfever >.<

	Darkfever (Fever Series, Book 1) Forfatter: Karen Marie Moning ISBN: 0440240980	Not really romance.... more of fantasy and thriller bah. Too many questions unanswered. Hopefully book 2 will be more enlightening

	Bobbie Faye's Very (very, very, very) Bad Day: A Novel Forfatter: Toni McGee Causey ISBN: 0312354487	Its kinda action packed and funny but I read it in so many parts that I couldn't keep up :(

	Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1) Forfatter: Stephenie Meyer ISBN: 0316015849	Yup jumped on the bandwagon. Didnt really like it though... I just wanna read on to know what happens next.

	Air Babylon Forfatter: Imogen Edwards-Jones ISBN: 0552153052	Another babylon book... Can't say that I didnt expect some of the more ridiculous stuff that happens in airports and planes... but still fun too read ( and good to know).

	Pretty Little Liars #2: Flawless (Pretty Little Liars) Forfatter: Sara Shepard	intriguing and a little confusing at times.... but I just that makes you wanna read on to find out what will happen next...

	Freakonomics [Revised and Expanded]: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything Forfatter: Steven D. Levitt ISBN: 0061234001	I love this book and all its eccentricities. Second time I read it. This time with more discerning eyes and some econs training. Still as entertaining.

	Nerds: Who They Are and Why We Need More of Them Forfatter: David Anderegg	Light hearted writing.... may not be able to understand the naunces though... the "nerd" thing is just more pronounced in the American society then ours.

	Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life Forfatter: Nick Lane ISBN: 0199205647	despite the provocative title, the book is relatively tame. DUH. Its abt mitochondria XD Read this book halfway in J2 trying to complete it....

	Concise Guide to Macroeconomics: What Managers, Executives, and Students Need to Know Forfatter: David A. Moss ISBN: 1422101797	Yeah! Macroecons is love! I love Macro! Anyone wanna take it with me next term???

	I Do (But I Don't) Forfatter: Cara Lockwood ISBN: 0743457536	Weddings!!! I love books with weddings. It really doesnt matter if said wedding happens or not... Its the planning part (and everything in bet) that gets me. CAKE TASTING...haha...haha...drooling

	The Secret Life of Numbers: 50 Easy Pieces on How Mathematicians Work and Think Forfatter: George G. Szpiro ISBN: 0309096588	Anyone can read this! Esp if you dun like math... contains lots of (useless) tidbits of information!!!

	Probably Still Nick Swansen Forfatter: Virginia Euwer Wolff ISBN: 0689852266	Hmmm.... I kinda cried at the front part. Maybe I was over reacting but I really really don't get the last chapter.

	Natural Born Charmer Forfatter: Susan Elizabeth Phillips ISBN: 0749938048	OMG. I love it. It was the last SEP book I have left, so I had to take my time with it. Worth every minute~witty dialogue, fixing dysfunctional families, too serious kid and a headless beaver XD

	Poisons: From Hemlock to Botox and the Killer Bean of Calabar Forfatter: Peter Macinnis ISBN: 1559708107	highly amusing but don't understand half of the references

	Kiss & Blog: A Novel Forfatter: Alyson Noel ISBN: 0312355092	popular versus normal. I always thought normal will win, we definitely have more people than them. Well... this book was quite enjoyable. I like quirky characters.

	Before Midnight: A Retelling of "Cinderella" (Once Upon a Time) Forfatter: Cameron Dokey ISBN: 1416934715	nice twist. Father is alive and the bad guy. I like it XD

	Agnes and the Hitman Forfatter: Jennifer Crusie ISBN: 0312363044	I like a side of thriller/action in books. This one was fun to read. Kept a body count while reading. Love Agnes and her anger management problems.

	Say No to Joe? (Visitation, Book 1) Forfatter: Lori Foster ISBN: 082177512X	Didn't like this book much. Had to pay for rental. Too sexually charged. The later books are better. Quirky characters.

	Causing Havoc (SBC Fighters, Book 1) Forfatter: Lori Foster ISBN: 0425214230	Caused a book hunting frenzy. I like the Visitation series better. Was more interested in the side plots in this book.

	Simon Says (SBC Fighters, Book 2) Forfatter: Lori Foster ISBN: 0425216586	Ditto Causing Havoc

	Prom Nights from Hell Forfatter: Meg Cabot ISBN: 0061253103	Picked it up at about the same time as Jinx. Erm... really don't know what to say about this book... I don't really like short stories.

	Jinx Forfatter: Meg Cabot ISBN: 0060837640	Always liked Meg Cabot. Like her delivery. But somehow this book feels a (very good) rip off of "The Craft" (a seriously old movie).

	The Rose Bride: A Retelling of "The White Bride and the Black Bride" (Once Upon a Time) Forfatter: Nancy Holder ISBN: 1416935355	Part of series (Once upon a time). Good retellings no more damsel in distress waiting for her prince."My bounty is as boundless as the sea,My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite." -Romeo and Juliet

	Welcome to Temptation Forfatter: Jennifer Crusie ISBN: 0312974256	Don't really remember whether I read it early this year or late last year... But adding it any way. Read Faking It (which follows this story) and naturally was curious about its "sister book". Faking it was better hands down, more eccentric characters XD

	Charlie All Night (Mira) Forfatter: Jennifer Crusie ISBN: 077832107X	Kept the book until it was due. Really funny and light read.

	Bet Me Forfatter: Jennifer Crusie ISBN: 0312987854	Re-read the book. This is one of my all time favourite. I have a copy. That says a lot... I'm normally a read-enjoy-discard person so the library works fine. But I had to get a copy of this. It is that good.

	The Gun Seller Forfatter: Hugh Laurie ISBN: 067102082X	Picked up this book when I was checking for new books from Victoria Laurie. Found the name familiar, turned over was surprised to see who wrote it. Yup. Its the guy on House (eh... he is House). Not that good a novel but not that bad either.

	Evolution, Me & Other Freaks of Nature Forfatter: Robin Brande ISBN: 0375843493	Good book. Everyone should read it. But the main character is a good christian (erm... that means if u are totally against read even a harmless amount of content abt religion in your free time then forget it.)
