I've gotten a little book-crazy over the last few days, as there's been a couple of bookstore wars that's been going on... which btw, i only happened to know towards the end of it.. sob sob.. oh well, i didnt have the money for it earlier anyway.. haha..

Since i went to Times book clearance sale first before MPH, i think i preferred MPH's selections.. They happen to have more newer books & more choices, even compared to MPH's own book clearance last year.. plus the location this year is much better. But it was a headache trying to sort thru all those piles of books, trying to find some gem of a read...

Anyway, there's a few books that i've been eyeing, which was i didnt find (obviously), but there's were other interesting ones that i did... with me, as i normally buy used books anyway, i do try to expend the selection of books to buy & try not to stick to one particular genre.. however, this way you end up getting hit & misses, as to whether the book is good or totally not your type..etc.. one of the reasons that i sometimes just play save & get mills&boons-romance-novels-type instead.. they're normally pretty predictable, always have happy-endings & most of the time provides an enjoyable light read...sometimes, that's all you can ask for in a book.. hehe.. especially good when you're in between reading materials too..

i am however, a little impartial to chick lits.. some i can take, but most i cant stand..

How i choose a book can be as random as it gets.. sometimes coz of the cover or the title.. most of the time it'll depend on the synopsis/review at the back cover (which usually irritates me when the book has none..).. too small/big fonts can also put you off a book.. and last, but not least, the price. i wont normally get a hardcover book, just coz of the price.. unless it's those long-awaited-for series like Harry Porter..

Anyway, here's some that i've just gotten & cant wait to get started:

Naked in Death by JD Robb - I've been collecting a lot of Nora Roberts' material over the years coz i quite like her style. I havent read the Death series yet, so will see whether this series are worth looking into.

Veronika Decides To Die by Paulo Coelho

The Post-Birthday World by Lional Shriver - I really like review/synopsis given, so am expecting this to be a good read.. i hope..

Letters for Emily by Camron Wright - About an Alzheimer disease patient compiling a book of poem for his granddaughther, a tale of power of love and family.

Mister Monday - I know this is a YA book, but i've heard so much about this book that i wanted to see what it's all about... hehe..

Anyway.. i'm collecting my Twilight dvd tomorrow, so I just might end up pushing all of these books aside for Edward.. haha.. I may be crazy for Edward Cullen, but probably not that insane.. yet.... *wink*...
