The Lost Symbol
THE LOST SYMBOL by Dan Brown was a joint-reading with my friend Hanson Tan. We went on an exciting and thrilling journey of codes, secrets, and unseen truths—all set within the hidden chambers, tunnels and temples of Washington, D.C.
THE LOST SYMBOL, which is the third book in the Robert Langdon series, is a follow-up to THE DA VINCI CODE and it was indeed my plan to read the latter first. However, I reckoned there is nothing wrong with […]
I Don't Know You But Let Me Save You
I met Hoong Ling from conferences we were both invited to speak as guest speakers. We quickly became friends. She’s down-to-earth, funny, and engaging. One can easily sense her sincerity in the cause she believes in and that is organ donation.
When she published her book, I DON’T KNOW YOU BUT LET ME SAVE YOU, I got myself a copy to support her cause. On January 14, 2009, Hoong Ling parted with sixty percent of her liver to save a child's life.
Jasmyn
JASMYN has been in my personal library for close to two years when I finally picked it off the shelf about a week ago and started reading. I wish I had done it earlier. Author Alex Bell did a good job at characterizing Jasmyn. She is a freak—to most of the people, anyway, because of her albinism—but to her husband Liam, she is a snow princess. It is most unfortunate that he has to die at such a young age.
It is odd the husband she knew during their courtship becomes a different person when they wedded. Before, he is an animal lover, but after, […]
The Man You’ll Marry
Would you fancy having in possession a wedding dress—made many years ago—that bears the promise the first man you meet is the man you’ll marry?
THE MAN YOU’LL MARRY by Debbie Macomber is the latest installment of the Blossom Street series. It tells the two stories of two women who receive the supernatural wedding dress under very special circumstances.
Ink Flamingos: A Tattoo Shop Mystery
INK FLAMINGOS by Karen E. Olson is the fourth and last book in the A Tattoo Shop Mystery series. The novel has all the elements I loved: tattoos, a strong and spunky female character, blogging, and a hint of romance between the tattooists in the midst of sleuthing. Brett Kavanaugh—a tattoo artist and owner of The Painted Lady—is that strong and spunky female character.
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
I have thoroughly enjoyed THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN by Mitch Albom. It is a special book.
Today is a beautiful Sunday and I did what I had to do—cleaned the apartment, did laundry, and so on—and for the rest of the evening I sat down to finish the book.
It had me crying when I reached the third and fourth lessons. I was eager for the [...]
