Besides being a food lover, I am also into books! But not all kinds of books, only selective ones. Before the computer was "born", I was an avid book reader. When I eat alone at home, there would be a book beside me... when I go to my "private small cubicle", I would be holding a book too... and yes, before I go to sleep those days, I would be reading some chapters and sometimes when the storyline gets more and more exciting, I would be reading even when it was after midnight.
Books pending... yet to be read...
Well, as time goes by and the latest gadgets come to "live"... I spend less of my time reading books but more into reading blogs and social media networking (the one that starts with a capital F).... but nevertheless, I still manage to squeeze in some of my day's time to read...
I received a small package sent from Singapore recently.
My books which I ordered through this online store called noqstore.asia has finally arrived!
My favourite author is Sidney Sheldon but since he has passed on,
Tilly Bagshawe is the one I am following now....
Her writing style is almost the same with the Sidney Sheldon.
Here's her three books that I have ordered and arrived!
And now to benefit my readers... you can also order books in this
website here by quoting
REANA and get an exclusive
15% discount on all purchases at NoQ store... valid from 11 August till 31 December 2014! More than 14 million books are in store for you... No Buy never mind, at least go and take a look!
Ahhhhh!!!! Good convenient way to buy books but I do enjoy browsing around the stores to pick the book I want plus the added bonus of the nice smell of brand new books.
ReplyDeleteheheehe.. you smell the new books? I never thought of doing that...
DeleteI don't read much. My eyes easily get tired after reading for too long. Gosh, 10 books pending for reading, ** pengsan**
ReplyDeleteYes... I think it will take me a long time to finish the 9... I have read one of them...
DeleteIf you remember, remind me next month. I found a few books that there that I want to collect in paperback. But this month no budget for shopping anymore, just swiped for a new phone =(
ReplyDeletewahhh... got new phone!! Good investment... can have more gadgets to fill up your time! Ok, if I remember.. which I doubt.. hahahaa.. well, I hope you will have enough budget by next month.
DeleteWon't buy if I have a choice. Last week a small piece of plastic fell off from the hole that I insert the charging connector. It's been going downhill ever since. Now I charge the phone overnight, can get 40% capacity only :(
DeleteOh really... then must get one.. 40% can only last a couple of hours if using watsapp.. or even less if surfing.. Chinese saying... old one don't go, how to get new one leh?
DeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteI used to love Sidney Sheldon when I was in school. Now, I'm reading different genre though. :P
Good for you... I am still reading fiction books during my free time...
DeleteI still have many books collecting dust at home! Don't know where to find the time to read them! Maybe if I stop blogging and watching TVB hahaha!
ReplyDeleteYeah, nowadays with so much gadgets, I tell you ah, sure got no time to read which is such a loss to us.. reading is always beneficial.. gone are those days when we take a book wherever we go...
DeleteGreat deal! Too bad I am not into books :p
ReplyDeleteNot everyone likes to read... :) It is just a hobby for me only...
DeleteThank you for sharing Claire. Will go over to look see look see.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Mun!!
DeleteYeah..... see you always hold a novel when makan... people watch tv , you read novel ... i think you pang sai also carried novel ...hhehhe....
ReplyDeletehehhe...don't have to bocor my rahsia eh.....
DeleteSounds EXACTLY like my daughter! :D
DeleteSerious? How come I turned out not to be a teacher ... maybe I hold the wrong books la!
DeleteMe too! I love to read, and when I was growing up, I would even bring a book to the dinner table. That made my mom mad. But now there is laptop, ipad, Smart phone, and my books stay in the bookcase. There are not enough hours in the day, Claire!
ReplyDeleteYes I totally with you, Ginny!! All the above are so true nowadays!!
DeleteAll those gadgets useful to read ebooks too. ;)
DeleteI also like reading, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, J-Mei!
DeleteI like to read, but now most of the time on fb, blog, not much time left to read...
ReplyDeletehahahaa.. I understand that very well, Sharon!!
Deletefood is always around Claire.. she loves food that she eats, and also food for thoughts (the books).. looking at your books reminds me of my books in the shelf that I have not touched at all, haha!! but actually I'm reading some e-books on my phone when I commute in the train, not that bad also mah.. hehe!! :)
ReplyDeleteE-books also considered reading.. but it feels good to hold a real book nowadays.. seldom see people doing that much anymore these days.. looks kind of weird too! hahaha.
DeleteI also buy books online from MPH Online. Very convenient to have the books delivered to me. Oh, Sidney Sheldon! His books are very difficult to put down. Once you start, you just have to read right to the end :D
ReplyDeleteYes lo... the way he writes is like good food.. keep putting them into our mouth... hahahaa..
DeleteThese r not sidney sheldon. Its by tilly bagshawe but she is giving him a run for his money..her books are very good
DeletePinjam tides of memory after u have done. That one I belum baca
ReplyDeleteYeah! Enjoy your books, Claire!
ReplyDeleteI used to enjoy Sidney Sheldon but now I am into varieties. As long good story lines I dont have any favourite authors.
Spot on!! I have something to search online for a book too! I will log into this website you posted.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your name is like a password now for big discounts. Can I use your name for MPH and other restaurants too? Muahahahaha just kidding!!
I was also like you and read a lot before the IT swarmed into my life.
