Book of the Month

I've been wanting to do this for a while now. Since after I've got my own money to spend, every month I get to buy books. novels to be precised.

And I kinda want to make my own book of the month kinda thing.

so, for this month, I've bought 3 novels.

~*___________________________*~

BIG BAD WOLF - Christine Warren.
*sigh*
this book so not worth my ringgit. The plot is okay. No. it's not really okay. the characters doesnt develop more than I hope it does. if only the writer could write less the S** section, maybe it wont be this bad. Note: romance does NOT equal to having S** scene in every freaking pages!. it's so damn annoying.

~*___________________________*~

A HIGHLANDER CHRISTMAS - Janet Chapman
*4 out 5*
This novel is like a fresh air. At least for me. I mean, usually in romance novel the hero is alpha like.manly. know it all. Egomaniac. Hercules. You get the picture. but you know, in this novel, the heroine was mostly in charge. And I kinda like that. yeah. let women rules!And the hero kinda not that perfect being. which is nice. Lots of humor, and nicely written. Good plot too. The only thing that's on the bad side is that, I kinda got a feeling that there's something missing. But I dont know what. It could be that I hope that it could be more. but more of what, I dont know. hurmmm...

NO WEREWOLVES ALLOWED -Cheyenne McCray
*Sigh**Haih*
That's double sigh, in case you havent notice. WHY the hell did I bought this novel! Why did I not read the synopsis on the back cover carefully! Man!! okay, the thing about this novel is, it's a series novel. And this is the second book of the series. to top it off, I dont think this is a romance novel. well, I dont really know coz I only manage to read only up to page 21 and my assumption might be wrong. But mannn...I really dont like jumping books in a series. It makes me feel blind. what's more, when I flipped to the last page of this book, guess what did I found? a cliffhanger. A freaking Cliffhanger. I hate cliffhanger! why cant they make a clean ending..

~*___________________________*~

So that's what I've got for this month. And it's a no brainer who won the title of  Keireen's Book of the Month.

so, till next month. And hopefully I'll get more luck in choosing the right books

NOTE TO SELF: buy books without a plastic cover. That way, you can read a little inside the book before considering of buying one.

Easy On Me

Dah lama tak layan lagu-lagu sebenarnya. Layan lagu ni pun sebab Aina Abdul punya cover and this cover is currently on the loop. This song hits differently when I suddenly realized the meaning of the line "So go easy on me..." I was like straight away imagining the kids saying that line to me....and it feels so heartbreaking..and I feel so sorry and it made me tried harder to be better.. Honestly parenting is tough. Really really tough.. It's going one month more to full 4 years now where I became a single parent to 2 of my sister's kids. Life and things happened to my sister so I step myself in to take care of her kids. I thought then that it was an easy thing for me to do that, but no! Oh God no!! Ya Allah how wrong I was!! My first 2 years in was the hardest and I struggled with the sudden changes I have to made. The 180 adjustment (in every directions) I had to take kinda messed me up a little bit (emotionally and physically).   But I learned  All sorts of things.

A dump post

Rabu dah kejap je minggu ni dah tak ada dah emosional bagai. Alhamdulillah. Sampai tengok cerita Hotel Del Luna part sedih pon, bergenang pon tidak  Part scene sedih tu boleh tak terheran kejap. Cam, kenapa tak meleleh ni? sebab selalunya kalau tengok drama memang senang sangat air hujan turun. Yang aku perasan, diri ni tak boleh terlalu dry sangat emosi tu. Sebab dia bukan betul-betul tak peduli, tapi emosi tu akan build up dan bila dah sampai threshold dia.....mula la break down. Bahaya anyway Many things happened within this little time from the last post. Might be mundane things for others, but not so for me. On Sunday, I accompanied mak to her acquaintance cafe. we had a lovely breakfast together. An english style breakfast.....which is not to my liking and I kept on thinking I want Nasi Lemak! (which they have actually).  and somewhere along our conversations mak touched on when she's 'gone' thingy...I was extremely saddened by that. Like really really sad

Trying is all I can do

This week is an emotional wreck kinda week. Starting from Sunday evening all the way through the week, it's one rocky roller coaster ride. Rasanya hampir semua emosi yang exist this whole universe hadir dalam minggu ni.  Please no more.. Waktu siang tak  terasa sangat sebab serious busy, so otak tak pikir apa. Tapi bila time masa senggang.....Too much feels..too much thoughts... Minggu ni saja First time tidur sambil berendam air mata.  First time menangis sampai mata sembab macam kena tumbuk, dan first time tak dapat tidur sebab menangis. Tapi apa yang aku dapat minggu ni?  It's okay to cry So that I could function well the next day It's okay to feel so much So that I could get closure that I never knew I need And try to move on And to rely to others And to hold on tight on Allah to protect you and your family May next week be better much much much than this week. InsyaAllah.
