This is the first book of the misdemeanors of Artemis Fowl. This 12 year-old criminal mastermind has discovered that fairies do exist and is hell bent on parting them from their gold by hook or crook (preferably the latter). He kidnaps LEPrecon officer, Captain Holly Short, as a means to realize his elegantly evil plan. Unfortunately for him, the fairies won't go down without a fight...
This book features a great blend of "underground" technology and magic. The characters are highly witty and memorable. Although Artemis is a villain, I assure you that you will be charmed by his wicked humour. Recommended reading!
This book contains a collection of really lovely, magical short stories that provide a great twist from the usual fairy-granting-wishes business. From leprechauns and cockroaches, to portraits and pastries, it is one of my favourite fantasy books of all time which I have reread oodles of times. The stories have a way of lingering i your mind for days and one story fascinates you after another. Megan Whalen Turner has a magical way of crafting her stories that leaves you feeling enraptured and uplifted as you immerse yourself in her stories.
This book is a sequel to the wonderful 'Hat Full of Sky'. Once again we join Tiffany Aching and the ever amusing Wee Free Men in another whacky adventure. This time though, the spirit of winter seems to have fallen in love with a disinterested Tiffany and much to her horror, he doesn't seem to take any of her hints. If she doesn't figure out how to deal with him, spring may never return.
There's some exciting news for all you readers out there! There is a bookshop at Amcorp Mall, Petaling Jaya, that is selling nooks for half the price of normal bookstores. Here's the best part: the books are BRAND NEW! It's two stores away from Kenny Roger's Roasters on the top floor. Go and check it out!
Loved this book! One would describe it as a sort of New Age fairy tale that takes you all over the world. The book is about a young boy Santiago who is trying to realize his own Personal Legend. Readers will discover the challenges, both mental and physical, that Santiago will face and why other people do not realize their Personal Legends. It is an uplifting and inspiring story and will prove to be the proverbial light house for those of you who need some direction in reaching your goals in life.
Here's to a glorious new year! I've been keeping up with the book reading... just not the blogging... got my hands pretty tied up in December what with Christmas celebrations and all. Anyway I shall be posting entries (slowly but surely) about the books I've read so far. Hope this site remains helpful to all of you.
Cheers!
