I was excited when I saw the packaging from The Book Depository arrived at my home. I was ecstatic! Seriously, just how often you got parcels from overseas, and a gift at that?

Never judge a book by its cover. I think this is the perfect time to use this idiom. It's not that beautiful, not that fancy either. I liked it, nevertheless (I can be pretty biased; I'm a fangirl). But but! The story beyond the cover is mind-blowing! To the point that you could forgive the unfancyness (it's not a word, I know ;P) of the cover. I wrapped the book (and the other two books in the trilogy) because they're my prrrrreciouss (read the 'precious' word like how Gollum would read it xD).

Review Buku: Harut dan Marut oleh Saad Ismail Syalabiy

I want to write reviews in Malay for Malay books I read, so here goes. I'll include the English translation at the end. Just keep reading ;)

Saya nak tulis review buku dalam Bahasa Melayu untuk buku-buku Bahasa Melayu yang saya baca. Saya akan letakkan juga terjemahan Bahasa Inggeris di akhir nanti. Teruskan membaca ;)

Tajuk: Harut dan Marut (Siri Pendidikan Al-Quran untuk Kanak-Kanak #5)

Pengarang: Saad Ismail Syalabiy

Tahun penerbitan: 1992

Penerbit: Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP)

Sumber: Sendiri. Emak saya belikan waktu zaman sekolah rendah dulu-dulu

Beli: Sejujurnya, saya tak jumpa kedai buku yang jual buku ni sekarang

Masa saya kecil-kecil dulu, saya takut sangat setiap kali tengok kulit buku ini. Sebab illustrasi tu nampak menyeramkan. Tapi sekarang, tak ada lah takut kan, kalau takut juga, tak tau lah nak kata apa ;P

Book Haul #1: Big Bad Wolf Book Sale 2012

Why the sale is named as Big Bad Wolf Book Sale?  I question this every year myself.

I think it was at the end of last year. Or was it early 2013? I'm not sure, I'll just go with 2012 edition. I went two times I think to this awesome book sale. It's awesome for me because the books they had for sale was very very very cheap! It's dirt cheap. RM 8 for a book? Just shut up and take my money.

Book Review: Shadows by Ilsa J. Bick

Captain Hook gave me this e-book copy of Shadows.

It's the US version of the cover. I like the UK cover more than the US version. The UK version has a creepy one-eyed girl on it. The US cover looks less creepy, in my opinion. Covers with real faces/faces that remotely look real always creep me out.
