My Book Party

I read about this book from one of the magazines that I just read , it looks like a thrilling book to read for the summer, if only I don't have too many books to read already. If you are reading this book now, please feel free to post your opinion in the comment area below and share your reading joy with me.

I learnt about the book from the People Magazine I just read.  I love chalk art, not that I can do it.  I just find the book cover lovely.  If you are reading this book, please feel free to share your opinion with me in the following comment area.

This is one of my impulse purchases at the airport.  I just can't resist any magazine that has a mouth watering food photo as a cover.  The following article is the only thing I had read so far though.  I'm not a newspaper reader or subscriber, but somehow I find it fascinating to read about the problems & troubles within the L.A. Times.   Link to article: What's the Matter with the L.A. Times   I feel such a strong resonance when I read the comment of a staffer at L.A. Times regarding the brain drain, "You don't quit the Los Angeles Times to go to Kaiser Health News or Reuters. These people are not quitting the Times. They're quitting to leave their bosses."

My moving box that I cast away to the corner of my living room few years ago is like a time capsule that is telling the present me what type of person I used to be.  This book that I recently fished out from that box told me that my current anxiety has been an old problem.  But when I thought my anxiety needed help to be dealt with back then, I didn't know fast forwarding few years into the future, I'm actually more anxious now. At least I learn that anxiety doesn't get better with age.  It actually gets worse. I didn't read this book back then when I bought it brand new. May be if I did, I would've been in a better place by now.  Have you read this book? Does it help you?  Please feel free to share with me your opinion in the comment area below.

I learnt about this book from the US Weekly Magazine that I just read. Jenny McCarthy (some celebrity I don't know) reportedly says this is a page turner.  I wonder why a single banana was used on the cover and why was the banana encrusted with diamonds?  Anyone knows if the cover image carries special meaning to the story of the book?  If you have read this book, please feel free to share your opinion with me in the following comment area.  

My interest in any particular book only lasts for the  few minutes when I hold it to admire the cover.  This is yet another brand new, unread book that I just fished out of a moving box that I should have unpacked long time ago....  I don't know how long it will take me to finally clear out this one moving box...I bought this book because I literally wanted to learn how to sew a button.  I still don't know how because I haven't had the time to get to the chapter where it will teach me how.  My grandma once said I would be among the first to die if there were a war...She blamed my mom for never teaching me the very basic domestic skills.  I guess this is why a lot of the mothers-in-law don't get along with the daughters-in-law.  To save my mother from more future blame,  I wanted to show my grandma that I at least knew how to sew a button...This desire has stayed on my to-do list for a very long time.  Sorry, mom, my will power is just not ...

I have no idea who's Teresa so I have no interest in reading her cover story in this magazine.  I haven't had a TV since I started college so I've lost track of who is who on TV.  I do know who LeAnn Rhimes is because I love one of her songs, "How Do I Live"   I didn't read her story either because I have very short attention for everything.  I went straight to the recipes and I like to read about the books showcased in this issue. I'm not a cook and I'm not an avid reader of any books. But I like to look at mouth watering food photos to hope that  I will get inspired enough to start cooking.  I also like to be aware of the latest fictions out there.  I just love to see the pretty book covers and I enjoy reading their short synopsis. Now that I'm done reading this magazine, I would like to make space on my bookshelf.  I'm listing it for sale at $0.01 on my Bookshelf Clearance page.
