Guess what? I've bought it. Yes. Come on, the title says it all, doesn't it?
Yes, I bought One Day yesterday at MPH's store wide book sale. 20% off. I know it's not much, but yes. Saving up to buy it was pretty hard. I had to live off coins and pennies. But I know it's worth it, though I'm broke. Seriously broke except for a few pennies left in my wallet.
Anyway, let's focus on things at hand here, shall we?
I'm sure everyone knows One Day has been made into a film, starring Anne Hathaway as Emma and Jim Sturgess as Dexter. I can't wait to watch it as it will be releasing some time around my birthday! I'm literally on tenterhooks here!
I've started with One Day and I'm completely in love with Em and Dex.
I'll keep you posted on my progress!
Much love.

Ellie Andrews, my dear friend
I loved it.
Yes! Ellie Andrews Has Second Thought was lovely. I adored Ellie's funny remarks. She's like a walking disaster zone!
It's about Ellie, the youngest of the Amazing Andrews, who turned down her long term boyfriend/boss, Rupert, then when she thought her life was over, in comes Marcus Lacey, massive playboy who is loaded. Yes, he's the MP. What's an MP?
Never mind, he was a bloody slag. He "fell in love" with Ellie just to get news on Sam's (Ellie's best friend) protest in Ethy Woods. So, whatever.
Poor Ellie then went for her long-term crush since high school, Jay, who is Sam's brother.
Then she finds out that Jay is engaged to a manipulative psycho bitch model, Roxy who lies about her bloody pregnancy. Cow.
So Ellie soon meets Xander, the perfect guy. Loaded. Good looking. Superstar.
But she realizes who she wants to marry.
It was a mystery to all readers who she'll be walking down the aisle with.
It was great, funny and I didn't want it to end!
Lovely story. Now I'm tempted to buy Katy Carter Wants A Hero.
Bugger, Ruth. You are mean.
9/10

Kevin has NO second thoughts!
Yes, I bought it.
I emailed Ruth Saberton, telling her that I shall be buying Ellie Andrews Has Second Thoughts because I loved reading the first chapter.
Yeah, I hadn't had second thoughts when I sashayed into the book store and grabbed a copy and headed to the till.
And yes, I have it next to me now, perfectly (hopefully) wrapped.
I will be reading it tonight. Yes, that is what I will be doing.
Thank you, Ruth Saberton. And God, thank You for letting me buy it.

The particular sadness of Aimee Bender
Honestly, I didn't fully understand The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake.
Either Rose is very peculiar and odd or she has a very mature outlook in life. I just couldn't relate to her.
She seems like a poor tortured soul.
Her brother is weird, glum and downright rude.
Her mother is a two-timing cow who likes her boss.
Her father is inconspicuous and blur at all times.
The point is, it's not really chick lit to me. She doesn't find true love.
All her conflict revolves around her dull family.
Sorry, Sarah Page of Random House UK, but I don't mean to be such an ungrateful cow, it's just that, it's not what I've expected.
Rose is maybe a bit too bitter for me as I prefer a particular sweetness and tangy taste of lemon.
6/10

I will miss TSGTDL!
Well, I've just finished The Single Girl's To-do List by the ever fabulous Lindsey Kelk. I have to say, I'll miss it. Yes, although I've read it twice, but I will miss having Rachel as my new best friend.
I can't believe it but I Heart Vegas will be out on December 8th, followed by I Heart London on August 2nd.
Thank you, Lindsey, for your super, super amazing present to me!
Now, on with The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. Again, thanks to Random House UK! :)

Miss me when I'm gone!
As it seems my country has "National Service" for high school leavers. Which means I might be targeted to leave home for 3 months to survive in a sordid camp site in the woods.
Yes, I've just discovered yesterday that I am in fact, have been "shot" to be in the national service program. No, I am not happy, thankyouverymuch.
I'll be leaving in mid-December, hopefully. I hope so. Fingers crossed!
By the way, I think I'll be seeking solace in my novels, which I hope is not prohibited in the gritty camp.
Anyway, please miss me when I'm gone.
I have finished Something Blue last Sunday. On with TSGTDL :)
Oh, and I bought my first ever classic novel, Jane Eyre!

I did it again!
I missed Rachel and Darcy. So I decided to read Something Borrowed and Something Blue again!
I've just finished Something Borrowed this morning! On with Something Blue!
Then probably after that, The Single Girl's To-do List, perhaps?
After all, they are such good novels that ranks up to Sophie Kinsella's!
Well, I've got to read The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake too! But I haven't got round wrapping it yet, who could blame me? School's been really hectic lately.
I mean, you don't see other schools in other countries which requires students to march for bloody sports day! Luckily, I'm all set to endure the blazing heat when I have my Nike white visor (similar to Maria's).
I had a breakdown yesterday while watching Wimbledon's Ladies' Singles Final. I couldn't deal with the fact that Maria was playing well, despite her shoulder injury, but lost to Petra (who in my opinion looks like a turkey, her mouth resembles the beak and her body is fat and wide while her legs are skinny!). Other than that, I think I am enjoying my weekend!
