Book Discovery: I Haven't Read Much Lately!

|
"If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading at all" - Oscar Wilde

It is a cloudy Friday over here and I am taking some time to scrabble something here at my blog. When was the last time I post anything worth reading? Well, I don't even remember myself. I stopped reviewing books around last year as I have very limited time to do such a thing anymore. Furthermore, at the moment I am in the 6 months training course to become a Fire Superintendent. Well, maybe I tell more about it another time. 

I'm just to happy that I started reading again after a few months of reading hiatus. Currently I'm reading one of my favorite authors, Jodi Picoult's book called The Storyteller. So far, I think the story is good and developing so I can't give much of a comment about it yet. Maybe I'll post a review about the book when I finish it. And since I'm in a good spirit to read and write again, I would like to share some good titles (in my opinion) that I've stumbled upon this week. So lets check them out! 



Well, Khaled Hosseini is one of the author that managed to make me wept by reading his book The Kite Runner. It was a good read and I am sure that this new installment from the the author will be as good as the Kite Runner. Doctor Sleep is said to be the sequel of The Shining which I haven't read the book yet but watched the movie (it is a classic movie). Hope this would be good. "Allegiant". I like this title of Roth's final installment of Divergent Trilogy. The cover is stunning as well. I really enjoyed the previous books and I'll make sure to have this one as well to complete my collection. 

That is all for now, have to get back to my reading. Nazi, Holocaust, Hitler...well, Jodi Picoult is sure did a serious research about this one. Have a good day and until next time!

But, now I'm participating in one of the Weekly Meme, On My Wish-list hosted by Book Chick City. basically, this is about what book that I would love to have rite? So, if by participating this kind of weekly meme, I can share with all of you what book that I wish, why not? Here i am!!! Hopefully you can make make my wish comes true and buy me the books that i want! Haha!! *lol..lol..lol..* Though this post is supposed to be published every wednesday, and today is Thursday already...I just don't care after all. And who cares? *grin*. So.... here they are!!!

.: Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger :.

I've read her first novel, The Time Traveler's Wife. It is really fascinating, fantastic, and horribly incredible! So, this second novel from the author is not something that i'll miss. Her Fearful Symmetry is a a ghost story set in and around the Highgate Cemetery in London. I don't want to say too much here. You can easily google or yahoo or everything about this book. Or you can easily browse to Audrey Niffenegger's official website here.


.: A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini :.

Reading his first novel, The Kite Runner, really make me to want more from this author. So, wishing for his second is what I'm doing. A Thousand Splendid Suns, is a story setting in Afghanistan from the last 30 years. The events during the Soviet invasions and the ruling of Taliban. Story about how to survive, raise family and find happiness in the middle of the rough war. For more, visit Khaled Hossaini's official website here.
