Words. My Blog. Me. And My Favourite Books.

I was picking out some of my favourite books and browsing through them, reliving some of the best moments in my reading-life. And I know I've never really blogged about them. Why? I love them and ought to have alot to say about them right? Well, yes and no.

First, I have a hard time describing my feelings towards a favorite book of mine like -- (reaches to pick out a book) -- Pamela Morsi's Something Shady. The last chapter is just fantastic. But then, fantastic might not be the best/right description for it. I sooo do not have a way with words. I'd just go something like, oh-me-i've-never-read-anything-lie-this-oh-dear-i'm-gonna-cry-again etc.

Second, after reading most of my favourite books, I curl up in bed and wallow in self-pity for days. ☺

A short Hero.

In Pamela Morsi's The Love Charm, the heroine looks straight into hero's eyes. Not "look up into his eyes" but "straight into his eyes".

Yes, Armand is short. Height wise. Shorter than the heroine, Aida. But not too much I think, since Aida can look straight into Armand's eyes. I think this fascinates her, because it's mentioned a number of times. The looking-straight-into-the-eyes part.

Armand is not tall, alpha and possessive like my beloved Davy McCloud. He's not exactly the best-looking man in his community either. In Pamela Morsi's novels, physical attributes mean nothing. So I'm not bothered, even though the book keeps reminding me about the height.

It's all in the heart! The heart! Argh! *Sniff.

Armand may be the shortest hero in the romance novel history (at least among what I've read), but he's still hot in the heroine's eyes. That's what counts. ☺ There's a part where Aida was secretly checking him out. From the eyes to the thighs.. the way she views him makes him vastly appealing.

Love! ♥

"For the man I love, monsieur, I would go against God Himself."

That's my favorite line in the book. Spoken by the pretty Aida. Maybe it sounds cheesy as a line singled out, but the situation in which made Aida proclaim that is really aw shucks. Thinking about it, I getting teary again. Makes me wana slap Armand up-side-down.

But I don't have to. Near the end of the book, Aida tried to hit him in the balls (she was angry at some revelation by him). I was laughing and crying at that. Love! ♥

I only have one more book by Pamela Morsi left in my TBR. It's Garters, and I'm afraid of reading it. Because then there'd be no more old Pamela Morsi novels left in my TBR.. No, not that her new works ones aren't great, they made me cry buckets too (all Pamela Morsi's books made me cry). but I refer reading her old historial romances.

Argh, I'm getting teary yet again. I was thinking about the ending of The Love Charm, which offered a short glimpse into the future . Very heart-warming. ♥

Pink Books Showtime!

Can't really think of a better title for this post. Anyway, I Only Have Fangs for You and Pink Ice just made me thought of some other pretty pink (or near pink/shades of pink/any pink/magenta can do too) books that I have:

Standing In The Shadows by Shannon Mckenna - This goes first because it's my favourite of all the pink books story wise. Nobody writes like Shannon Mckenna. Period.

Not Another New Year's and An Offer He Can't Refuse by Christie Ridgway - I've finished An Offer He Can't Refuse, but Not Another New Year's in still my TBR. Christie Ridgway writes about family, friends, love, family, life, death, family, and even more family, friends, and love stuff.

I get emotional all the time reading her books.

Emotional = lots of tears flowing = heart-warming = another favourite author.

Oh there're lots of humorous moments in her books too to keep me laughing instead of crying all the time. Great, great, great, author.

Sealed with a Kiss - Loved the envolope image on the cover. Pamela Morsi is another author who writes sweet heart-warming stories that I love. Her older releases are very, very hard to find. All the books I own by Pamela Morsi are gotten from second-hand shops. I was lucky that those I found are still in very good condition.

The Heart's Haven by Jill Barnett. Jill Barnett's books are among the first few romances that I've read and loved. Try her Wonderful, Wild, and Wicked historial romance series. I give them big thumbs ups.

Alison Kent's The Samms Agenda - I like the pink namecard thing clipped to the folder, so this belongs here too. And also because Julian Samms is my favorite of the SG-5 hunks, so his book deserves this space more than the others. And also plus the fact that he swears in Mandarin! You know, I felt a connection with him every time he utters some chinese phrases. (Yes! I'm Chinese! I know Mandarin! Ha! Big revelation!)

And I just had to add this before I hit publish and go to bed:
