Finished The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, mind blown and i don't like it, think story kinda draggy and poor characters built for me and it took me 1-2months to finish it, obviously not my cup of tea.

Now reading The Things We Do for Love by Kristin Hannah. A Kristin's fan since the Firefly Lane biggrin.gif

Just finished The Other Typist by Suzanne Rindell, basically is a crime story about two ladies who work as typist. It took me long enough to finish... I wouldn't say it's good or it's bad, just not my type. Somehow I have no idea why I think of Cruel Intentions the movie, both of them got slightly a bit of similarity for me.

Now I'm going to read Library of Souls the 3rd book from Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children. If you love fantasy genre, try this, it's awesome and interesting to read with smile.gif

Finished Library of Souls from Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series. This is the last book, another masterpiece of fantasy genre, right after harry potter. Definitely a must read if you like fantasy story! Everything in the book are well organized, except for the ending...I'm not fond of that ending, but i fond of the whole series smile.gif

Next, going to read The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks, a romantic story i assume. Hope it won't be another typical love story lol

The Lucky One is not too bad. But I still love his earlier books like The Notebook and Message In A Bottle.

Totally agreed on The Notebook! nod.gif
Didn't manage to get all his books because of limited budget and space, so I just read the synopsis and choose the one I think will be nice, hehe blush.gif

Finished The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks, I didn't like it to be honest. I like The Notebook and Dear John, but not The Lucky One because it doesn't make sense to me ._.

for Logan: Why don't you just return thing that doesn't belongs to you!!
for Beth: What make you think that there is anyone who will travel all the way just for stalking you!!
for clayton: I have nothing to say, I think you ain't bad but ain't good..
(Sorry, I dislike the ending :_; I thought I could expect something *sob* )

Next, going to read The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett smile.gif

Just finished The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett. An interesting adventure story with a girl, Tiffany who holding a frying pan as a weapon. The only thing i can't get used to it was the 'language' inside, it kinda distracted me when I was reading...

Now reading another book also from Terry Pratchett - The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents.
(wanted to read other books but too thick, ain't easy for me to read it when I taking bus/lrt to work or back home <.< )

Finished The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett! It's more than a fantasy story but very well 'educated' , a story about a piper boy, a cat and bunch of rats, love it so much!! Very entertaining to read with biggrin.gif

By the way, Happy Chinese New Year to all the bookworms~ smile.gif

Finished Carol by Patricia Highsmith, it's actually a romance story in between of a young lady and a woman. They stated the book under classic, not sure about it, the book is easy to read but also not much to expecting, it's kinda odd, on characters and story development.

Now I'm reading: Shooting an Elephant by George Orwell smile.gif
I'm so looking forward it because i like his works very much ~

Nice to know you read in the lrt too! I don't commute often but the few times I do, I'd be reading in the lrt and sometimes I wonder if it's strange for me to do this cos everyone else is looking at their phones instead o.O

nah, it's perfectly normal lol

So far lrt and brt is alright for me. Ktm is like random schedule. Rapidbus few years back, my first experience was also my last! Totally uncomfortable experience. But I hear they upgraded the buses and the system. Is it still the same?

I take rapid bus and lrt only, lrt like sardine can sometimes because everyone is using lol, of course ktm worst i heard, ktm always delay they said.
Now in pj, there are a free bus service going to certain locations, it helps a lot, at least we don't need to wait only one bus, we have choices XD
Driving is bad when there's traffic jam, whereas we can read a book in the bus, driver drive, i relax tongue.gif

Finished Shooting an Elephant by George Orwell, thought my expectation a little bit of higer yet did not met the one i was looking for. However, still a good read, a book about life experiences and truth but not fantasy, truth is ugly, society is dark and history is unknown.
(I am kinda fantasy type of reader)

Now i'm reading Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

Finished Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
Just wow, this book is thick (around 600pages), and I finished it quite a lightning fast, this book is so good.
Narrator was telling his own story: 'I was born twice, first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day in January of 0960; then, as a teenager boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of 1974.'
It a story about hermaphrodite, genetic problem from 3 generation of family. It also tells about religion, history of war, Greek mythology as well.
Definitely a good read!

Next I should be starting to read the series of game of thrones, by George R. R. Martin

Seems interesting, selling it or not?  drool.gif
I only done "In the dark" and "Island", kind of nice but some people might not like it.
His description of woman's body is quite detailed, if you know what I meant. Near erotica I guess, since I never read any erotica.
Nonetheless the story is very suspense, that I can't really put it down.
So far don't have any books that make me feel the same, I always distracted by other things. Reading is very slow since I started working.
