Top Reads for January to June 2011


I am a certified bookworm. I am well aware of that. From the extensive collection I have at home I usually finish one book in 2 hours regardless if it is 100 pages or more. So I am listing my Top reads from January to June of 2011. I will not state when I started reading them. ^_^ Lets begin! 





The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughin and Nicola Kraus

This book was actually turned into a movie! And I wasn’t able to watch it. I dunno but reading the book before watching the movie is much better because some parts of the book was either altered or was not added in the film. This book basically sees the point of view of a nanny in the Upper East Side Manhattan society. If you watch Gossip Girl you can say that this is Doroda’s point of view teehee! This book was written by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, it’s basically a satire of something we don’t see every day. A good book to read when I feel low and need some boost on a weekend.

 

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella

This is one of those books that you can’t help but say, “I am so like that! “ I am not saying that I am A shopaholic. I have the same urges and tendencies to spend a lot. But mostly I spend on food for my family. I like to wine and dine with my mom so don’t judge me! LOL
The book is an easy read and almost everyone –including me likes the plot. The characters are also very relatable in some way. I actually finished reading this book for only 1 hour.

New Moon by Stephanie Meyer

This is basically a no-brainer because I really really and I mean REALLY like the twilight series. My one great wish before was someone to give me a whole set of this books, or I can buy a set of this. But then I have my e-books at home LOL. The love story of a human and a vampire is so intriguing that you can’t let go of the book. Honestly I read this book 5 times before I got over the hype. LOL

Those are my Top reads for the moment. I do read lots of books but some of them are kinda boring of a sort. I really like reading history books believe it or not, but those are mostly the books I read when I need to refresh my mind with what happened.
My favorite book is actually a book I had when I was in High School. I can’t remember the name for some reason (stupid aging process! LOL ) It’s a mix of European civilizations. I’ll have to do more research on that though.  

Hope you like this post!

See yah on the next post! ^_^

Much Love!

My addictions: My cute yet ferocious dog named John

Shocking isn't it? haha!  Let me introduce to you my dog named John. Believe it or not he had a brother named Lloyd... get it John and Lloyd. Blame my mom for their names LOL But besides from that he is one peculiar kind of dog. He has a mannerism to act adorable one minute but turn annoying after another.  He has been with us for like 5 years or longer. He is a mix of Labrador and Pitbull.  I took that photo a couple of days ago when I was in a trigger happy mode. I took pictures of my niece and my nephew, our newly renovated house and of course my pets. I was actually asking him to look at me and when he did he suddenly yawn. And that is how I had that shot.  He is actually a really nice dog, he is a bit territorial but most dogs are like that. He actually likes my Labrador Retriever named Georgia. I'll let you meet Georgia next time. ^_^ Much Love!  Alice

Product Review: iColor Hair Dye Shampoo

Image
Hello lovelies!  Since the start of the year I told myself I will change my looks more and test things since I am not getting any younger so experimenting would definitely be on top of my list.  With that I've actually started with my hair. I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove
