my love affairs..

JEFFREY ARCHER
we met when i was 16.. and it was the start of a long steady relationship. As The Crow Flies was my first and i read it when i should be mugging for my o'level prelims. i read the 700+pages book and told my mum i'm done for my english paper.. and i aced that paper! *wiggles butt*

what should i say.. its a long steady mature relationship (like a marriage).. lengthy enjoyable ride though can be a tad boring at times but there's depth.. there's substance.. it captivates you and you cant help but be pulled into his world of tales.. (yes, even boring politics) Plots are artifully crafted and keeps you on your toes.. His short stories (12 Red Herrings, To Cut A Long Story Short) are exceptional! He never fails to deliver and you know you'd always have something solid to fall back on.

DANIELLE STEEL
like a guy who is always around.. at my whim and fancy, beck and call and we'll almost always have a good time. Close to a 100 books published (correct me if i'm wrong), i'm always spoilt for choice. Though i might have exhausted all the books in the library. My favourite one would be The Promise.. heartwrenchingly beautiful.

an easy going long-standing relationship.. not always on my priority list but i know its always piping hot on the burner, waiting for me to bestow upon it my attention. Beautifully written.. of life tragedies, losses and the courage you find within yourself.. miracles and hope. Steel brings me to the world of the upper class, rich and famous.. where ppl dines at Harry's and Annabel's in London (though its said that the original Harry's Bar resides in Italy).. holidays at The Alps.. shopping at Paris, Italy and what have you. And its here, i open my eyes to a world beyond my world.

LAUREN ROYAL
olalala~ the guy when i want a quick romp in the sack! what zack likes to call 'my sex books'.. (well, he thinks all my books are sex books.. haha) But in actual fact, only these has some pretty explicit stimulating scenes.

A fun-loving, excitingly sensual affair. Mindless entertainment. Set in England, in the 1600s, during the reign of King Charles II. The places and some characters in the books are real. Royal infuses history into her books so well, its a little wonder a history-buff like me will be captivated. Add some doses of humour and romance, you get a sizzling dish! So when i'm in the mood for romance and wants to be wooed, he is who i turn to.

her next book is called Tempting Juliana (wat are the odds!) out 7 November.. i so have to get it!!

DAN BROWN
the complex guy with a sophisticated flair.. spins me round and round til i cant get enough.. but i can only take so much of him. A daytime guy, never a night cos when he's with me at night.. i cant sleep! Not an easy-going r/s.. intense and addictive.

our first meeting wasnt too long ago.. about the same time the news of the death of the Pope came out. Angels & Demons came at the right time.. how apt. I was able to appreciate the book better cos of the secular events that was going on then. The plot is as intricate and winding as a celtic cross.. pulse-throbbing and mind boggling. I seriously cant read it before sleep cos it goes into my subconscious and stays there even in my dreams.. brain overload! and of crse, we have the famous (infamous) The DaVinci Code.. next in the pipeline - Digital Fortress!

NORA ROBERTS
what can i say.. my lover, my friend, my confidante. He is who i always turn to when i need someone. Always a comfort, always a joy.

Trilogies.. anthologies.. stand-alones. Though i love her stand-alones better. A good steady pace.. her characters just come alive and you are transported effortlessly into another world.

Oh, did i mention some of her titles are being adapted into movies?!!! Montana Sky, Carolina Moon, Blue Smoke, The Villa, Brazen Virtue and River's End! These books are awesome! and they are currently filming Montana Sky.

Just finished the 2nd book of her Circle trilogy - Dance of the Gods.. didnt expect it to be out in stores so soon and when i saw it lying on the shelf in Sunny Bookshop.. i grabbed it and could hardly contain my excitement! 3rd book - Valley of Silence out 31 Oct!!! *screams*

J.D ROBB
the new guy.. the new love! Exciting.. stimulating.. fast-paced.. never a boring moment, you just cant get enough of him! He always delivers.

it's year 2057 in New York City. A futuristic cop series. You get immersed into the world of crime-fighting NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her sinfully gorgeous gazillionaire husband, Roarke (aka the Perfect Man). Each book tells of a homicide crime and how Dallas and her team (Peabody, McNab, Morris etc) sets out to untangle the clues and traps. Here, justice always prevail. Next up: Born in Death.. out 7 November!!!

Pages fly when the cover is flip. Give me a JD Robb and Zack can go game til the cows come home.. i wouldnt bother.. hahahaha..


i'm feeling a little out of sorts now that i've finished Dance of the Gods..
