Delayed

Okay, so technology hates me. I get it. So, I'll upload the pictures another time. Don't want to wait for everything to load then see the internet crank up :(

And, I'm so absorbed in my novels that I really feel like I'm there watching the scene unfold. The scene stays in my head like it's part of my memory. When it's funny, I laugh out loud, literally, and when it's sad, I cry and cry like there's no end to it. I'm really glad that I grew to like reading. I'm a late bloomer. I was only attracted to it in 2007, and I think that was when I first finished reading a whole book (excluding those which were compulsory for school) - at least in my memory. And the first book which really got me hooked was Love On The Lifts by Rachel Hawthorne (recommended by Bok Teng - I have so much to thank you for). Then I was addicted to the Private (and Privilege, which came along later) series in 2008 when I happened to borrow the second book, Invitation Only, from the school (!!) library. And I just finished reading the last book a few days ago. I felt some kind of sadness well up in me, because I don't think I'd ever read another delectable series like that. And it felt sad, that the series had come to an end. Those characters, who I've been running around with in fiction land, for the past four years of my life, are gone. You might think I'm crazy, but yeah I'll miss them. Thank you Kate Brian, I hope to meet you one day :) And then in 2009, I read the Kissed By An Angel trilogy by Elizabeth Chandler. It was really very good. In fact I just re-read it. Imagine the excitement when I bought it! ^^ I don't know how she does it, but when I read it, I feel the pain the character feels, and I cry, maybe even more than the character has been described to. Maybe it's just me. I don't know - it doesn't matter. And now, I'm reading the fourth installment and I can't wait for the fifth to come out. But other than these, there were many other great books that I've read too. And it's all written in my notebook :) Maybe I'll talk about them next time when I buy them :) Oh and actually the first book I remember reading was in 2006! Hahaha okay not much difference. And yes, I've not read a single Enid Blyton book (except for a few pages!) in my life. Because I was a late bloomer. I may read it some day, but I don't know if I'll like it, because I like romance-mystery novels. Or just those kinda bimbo-chick-flick-kind-of-books. Don't judge me. Everybody has different preferences :) Okay, back to fiction land! ^^
