Insight!

Well, thinking about the utter lack of things that i have to write on my blog since my day consists of work then home i figure i may as well write about the books i am reading since I have bought more books in the last 3 months than i have in the last 2 years. Let's see... I started with 2 of Patricia Cornwell's books one of which i'm sure i had read before but couldn't remember when (& i forgot who did it anyway so it was a good read). Next, I was good and bought some 'career' related books. One on Soft Skills (which was a really good read) the other an easy read but I didn't benefit much from it called Flip!

After returning from London I also went through a Henry VIII fascination and since I saw it in London and it looked interesting enough I bought all of C.J Sansom's books about Matthew Shardlake and even started to watch The Tudors with Jonathon Rhys-Myers but it got kind of annoying after a while - being to preoccupied with his bedroom exploits and obsessions... oh well.

Then Fona told me about Mr Darcy's Diary that she found pretty good so off to the bookstore to look for it, but i couldn't find it instead i came across two other books "Me and Mr Darcy" by Alexandra Potter and "The Darcys Give A Ball" (need to check that title). I found "Me and Mr Darcy" very enjoyable to read though initially i really hated how 'American' the main character was and it was a bit slow to start - though as you get into it, it's really quite a good read. The rest of her books seem to be similar, I think i'll go get them just to have a something to read - i have such a bad habit of finishing a book in one day, it really leaves me with nothing to read very quickly.... if only someone would design something like Amazon's Kindle but allows you to transfer e-books onto it directly (that'll save a look of trees, long-term money and of course, bookshelf space - which i seriously don't have much of, the shelf I do have can't really be called a shelf, more of a half-shelf).

Ohh i'm so excited dad is arriving in just over 12 hours!!!! Four weeks of fun and lots of eating... (plenty of time to lose weight once mum & dad leave :P) and we're off to korea next week to visit Bevvie....
