“Matilda” by Roald Dahl
MATILDA is the third book I have completed for the Roald Dahl Reading Marathon and it’s my favourite! I started reading it at 11 PM (Saturday) and finished at 1.18 AM (Sunday). Snuggled up in my reading chair, I did feel a little sleepy and feared I might not be able to finish the book… — read more

THE BFG is the second book I completed for the Roald Dahl Reading Marathon. I started reading THE BFG in the late afternoon, managed to throw in an afternoon nap, and completed it just in time before dinner.The BFG (Big Friendly Giant) is indeed a special giant. It’s another fun book and an imaginative one… — read more

“James and the Giant Peach” by Roald Dahl
What a fun way to begin the weekend on a beautiful Saturday by reading Roald Dahl’s JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH! This book—along with four others—is part of my Roald Dahl Reading Marathon. The goal is to read all the five books within two days. My first Roald Dahl book was CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE… — read more

“The Farthest Shore” by Ursula K. Le Guin (Book 3)
The third book in the Earthsea Cycle series, THE FARTHEST SHORE by Ursula K. Le Guin, is a thought-provoking book that deals with the issue of death and eternal life. I loved it. In this one, there is another wizard with great power—perhaps even one that matches Ged’s—who is working a spell. A spell that… — read more

“Tombs of Atuan” by Ursula K. Le Guin (Book 2)
TOMBS OF ATUAN is my second Ursula K. Le Guin book. Again, I’ve enjoyed it immensely. Like the first book, this is a also short book at 192 pages but a good read nonetheless.

“Angels & Demons” by Dan Brown
Angels & Demons is my first Dan Brown book and will certainly not be the last.The novel had me glued to my seat turning those pages furiously and playing the guessing game right until the end. You wouldn’t believe who the culprit will be. It is a little over-the-top but still. . . Set in… — read more

“Bedtime for Bonsai” by Elaine Fox
BEDTIME FOR BONSAI is Elaine Fox’s latest novel. No, it has got nothing to do with the plant but everything to do with a cute dog (and romance). In this one, the highlight of the story is the socialite-looking, beautiful and good girl, Penelope Porter. Penelope plans to get back together with her no-good ex-husband… — read more

“The Pagan Stone” by Nora Roberts (Book 3)
THE PAGAN STONE by Nora Roberts (NR) is the third book of the Sign of Seven Trilogy. This one—the third book—is my favorite. It is Gage Turner and Cybil Kinski’s story. Both are able to ‘see’ and both saw a lot of visions—frightening ones. I really enjoyed the signature NR dialogues in this book and… — read more
