Simple Life of Us

And the story goes...

The last book I read was Desert Royal by Jean Sasson, and strangely enough, what followed was a book-drought.

Well, the drought has certainly come to an end, because I'm on the roll for some really good reads. One of which, I've been devouring almost daily each time I found some free time at home (other household chores can wait as long as I still have clean laundry to wear) at night. I've finally completed reading it just about an hour ago.

The good news is, I've got 2 more books to devour over the next few days..weeks...whatever time permits...both by her.

She spins really good suspense, and the twists that await are almost unimaginable to someone with a simple mind like me. I'm glad I found the books, thanks to someone who introduced the author to me.

I've just finished PerfectMatch, and I thought the storyline was intriguing, and though I didn't really put in much effort going through the questions posted on this site (gosh, I can't believe there are people who actually spend time trawling the net for these), I can't help but relate to the book. What if, something I handle daily in the course of work happen to someone close to me (God Forbid). Will I be able to treat it as a job, or would it be a different ball game altogether?

Though there are some bits in the book I don't agree with. Like how the 5-yr old seemed to say the smartest things a typical 5-yr old might not say.

Bored these days? Need some challenging, intriguing questions to fill your free time? Go on, try any of the books, and let me know if you like them :)

Meanwhile, I'm going to find the perfect time to start the next read, with a perfect accompanying drink too. And maybe the smell of tumtum lingering around me as well.
