Book Adulterer

I am a book adulterer.

I read several books at one time

and am never loyal to just one book 

though there may be periods where I just cling to

one book refusing to part with it till it ends

and I finally put it down with a satisfied sigh

or at times with a scowl or with a tear in my eye.

I love books. 

*happy sigh*

Since everyone was talking about 'The Hunger Games',

it piqued my curiosity and I googled it and loved what I read.

Was not able to catch the movie in the cinemas sadly 

but will surely watch it once the DVD is out.

So back to 'The Hunger Games'... I managed to buy

myself a boxed set and started reading them last week

and I could not put it down.

It was nothing like how I imagined it to be.

It was quite gruesome and brutal.

I would NOT like to be Katniss Everdeen that's for sure!

My night time... sometimes day time indulgences.

Then there is my 'Game of Thrones' books.

I am currently at book 3 part 2.

Have taken a hiatus to reading it since I have been

having several dreams involving scenes from the 

book/tv series. B thought it best to stop for a bit and it has

helped heaps. I also just finished reading some fluff 'The Manny'

and am about a quarter way with 'The Story of Beautiful Girl'.

A pretty good story so far but fantasy stories have

always been my weakness.

If only there were more hours in the day for reading.

My book list is heaving and I have not finished the

things I wanted to read for the month of May!!!

*gulp* Well here's to reading and to books.

LOVES LOVES LOVES!

An epic fantasy!

Game of Thrones (Season 2) or if you follow the book, ‘Clash of Kings’ premiered on April 1 and I was super excited when I saw the trailers {visit HBO’s website here, to view the different trailers that they have} and was suitable impressed. And now having watched a few episodes, I am one happy geeky girl!

Since we are on the lovely subject of Game of Thrones, you will be pleased to know that after my first post about the books {read here} which I bought in August last year, I have finally finished all 700ish pages of the first book ‘Game of Thrones’ and am almost mid-way through the ‘Clash of Kings’ {read more about it here} tonight. I also bought the fifth book in "The Song of Ice & Fire" series 'A Dance With Dragons' which is out in paperback. 

The first book was pretty good and was all I had hoped for. It was good that I watched the series first simply because I could picture the characters a little better in my mind and the different scenes and etc. However, as with most books, the author gave a more thorough description of people and places and through their explanations I was able to see a much clearer picture in my mind.

So here’s to several more weeks of reading and
of imagining a whole different world out there.

Family Sunday

Nasi Lemak: A popular dish in Malaysia ~ super yums!

I woke up today at 6am as I needed to help my folks sell hot dogs at the church cafeteria. Ruby my sister-in-law and I were in charge of the nasi lemak {rice boiled with coconut with egg, anchovies and sambal} stall and we managed to sell all 150 packets of it quite quickly *smiles smiles* In fact, I guess I was a little competitive I guess, wanted my stall to be the first one to sell everything and I guess we did win! *woot woot* I then helped my dad and B to sell the hot dogs and they managed to sell theirs not long after we finished selling our nasi lemak. It was quite a tiring morning and I feel myself slowly falling drowsy...

I just wanted to write this post as I have been neglecting my Little Piece of Heaven for other things {like Project Happily Ever After, TV series and Zuma!}. It was great spending time with B, Ruby and my family working together as a team *smiles* Now, I will head of to my room, cuddle under the comforter, and savour the last few pages of my book 'One Day' {it's almost ending which is such a pity} ~ I can't wait for the movie to be shown here. 

Well, here's to an awesome Sunday ahead ~ might be going for an Elvis tribute night {btw, B was asked to guest star as a tribute artist but he didn't take up the offer this year ~ maybe next year he will do the King proud!}. We have a long stretch of holidays coming up and I am super glad for it {let's hope I get to blog more, meet up with old friends, start on 'Game of Thrones', work more on Project Happily Ever After' and finally post up the photos for my 'Week In the Life of DW'}.

Game of Thrones

After having a mini marathon with B to watch 'Game of Thrones' on Saturday, I became a bit to engrossed with the show and decided to google and wiki it. This then led me to wonder about 'A Story of Fire and Ice' {'Game of Thrones' is the first novel in the series} by George R.R. Martin and so I googled and wiki-ed a little more and I couldn't help but want to read the books.

I have seen this series of books previously, but never bothered to pick it up to read through the synopsis or anything. However, I think after watching the series {I am halfway through and savouring it bit by bit} I became more convinced that I needed to buy all the books and read them as it would be heaps good.

So my darling B decided to buy the books!!! *smiles smiles smiles* I have 5 neatly wrapped books {I have not bought 'A Dance With Dragons' yet as it is still in hardcover} in plastic waiting to be devoured ~ yay yay! There was also a 20% discount on the books which was uber awesome. So here's to more months of fantasy and reading and to 5 more episodes of 'Game of Thrones'.
