my must-buy book wishlist.

i saw some books that i really wanted to get..

Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone series.. i've been wanting to read crime genre but never really had my hands on it. the last crime/mysterious book that i've read is Christopher Pike's Final Friends Trilogy (which the 3rd book still can't be found in any bookstore in Malaysia. hmmph. )

i don't know how good is the series but from the reviews that i read, i think it should be quite a good read. to date, it already has a total of 20 titles. i saw some of the title is in our bookstore but it's not complete. they only have some of the most recent titles. so i'll most probably get it online.. i'm going to start from the first book, "A Is for Alibi". hopefully i'll like it and keep a complete set of the series.

which again, reminds me that i'm currently on a book ban. i have to finish all the 20 new books before i can start buying again.

i hate online shopping sometimes.

too convenient to resist.

whoa!!

that's 21 books to be finished!

hmm..

ok... let's challenge myself.

one book a week?

fair enough right?

since i only prefer to read on weekends cos i have the whole day to finish one book. ok.. two whole days.

reading on weekdays are a big no no to me... cos i tend to get carried away and i'll lose my sleeping time. (sleep time is very very important to me now.. )
