What happened to the book reviews??

-
Dear bookaholics,

If you were wondering why this bookaholic is no longer putting up her usual book reviews and interesting bookish finds, and only updates her blog with events, well, it's because I'm very tied up with something else right now.

However, it'll end very soon...and my book reviews will be up again in July :) I'm looking forward to it as I REALLY REALLY MISS READING!!!!

If you have found any good reads recently, please feel free to post your recommendations here or drop me an email :)

Till then, keep reading!!

I'm reading "At Home in Japan(a foreign woman's journey of discovery) by Rebecca Otowa from Tuttle Publishing. I haven't finished it yet but been so much impressed with her new life after her marriage to a Japanese man from a very traditional and countryside family. I'm very much interested in her way of describing our culture in English, as well. I'm sure I'll blog about this when I finish reading it.

I'm reading Belong to me by Maria de Los Santos. It's written in three POVs, Cornelia, a metropolitan woman who moved to a suburb with his husband; piper, her annoying neighbor who has a dying-from-cancer-friend; and Dev, who is a 13 year old genius, and daughter of Lake, a girl who happens to have a past with Cornelia's husband.

I really like reading Dev(or Deveroux Tremain)'s POV, coz he talks about a lot of things that sparks curiosity, like the pinnicle of evolution- theory by Charles Darwin, the string theory, literature, and all the chaters with his POV starts with a famous quote like "How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? -Albert Einstein-" -or maybe just the fact his age is near to mine, but really, this is a good read. I haven't finished it yet, but try this, or Love walked in, by the same author.

World Book Day: When, Why and Wow...

First of all, HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY EVERYONE!! :) Let's spread the joy of reading, not only today, but every other day by sharing great reads with your friends and family, also, if you have too many on your shelves, give them to those in need...I came across this on guardian.co.uk and thought that I'd share it with you... "With or without TV debates, most thoughts at present in the UK are turning to the choice we will make in the forthcoming general election. However, the stark fact is that very many people in the UK will not be a part of that process; not because they don't want to necessarily, but because they lack the most basic skills to do so. They can't read. They cannot make a choice. It is a truly terrible democratic deficit." (More...) The thought of parting with your favourite books can be painful. To be honest, I had problems giving mine away. But just thinking of the impact it can make on a person's life helped the 'parting' a whole lot

Where Is Justice?

Recently, some books in Malaysia, namely ‘Where Is Justice’, ‘1Funny Malaysia’, ‘Malaysian Politicians Say the Darndest Thing Vol. 2’ (I looked for this book in most major bookstores, and I could only find the first volume) have been confiscated. Thank God I was able to purchase the first two titles. I’m writing from the point of view of a person who has been ignoring politics her whole life. I have never once voted. I’m one of those who strongly believe that ‘ignorance is bliss’. Thanks to ‘Where Is Justice?’ I realised my selfishness is one of the many reasons my country is still stuck in this political turmoil and I feel utterly shameful by it. The book started with Teoh Beng Hock’s case, one of the many cases that raised innumerable issues and unanswered questions. Teoh was a 30-year-old assistant to Selangor Executive Councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah and was a witness in an investigation on his boss Ean Yong, who was alleged to have spent RM2, 400 on Merdeka flags in 2008, but to have
