i'm reading the above author books nowadays, not that she wrote that many, i think only like 8? but i've read them all and love them all.

the way she writes is simply hilarious. imagine me sitting in kfc having my late lunch and bursting into giggles while at the same time trying to bite my lips and looking left and right to make sure noone seen me but still end up looking like a lunatic! hur hur... its that funny lor.

its like watching a comedy romance, well in this case, reading it.

4 of her books is a series - confessions of a shopaholic (i tell you, the front part sounds so much like me that its scary), shopaholic takes mahattan (a little boring but still funny), shopaholic ties the knot (awww... so sweet, this proves all girls must marry rich man!) and shopaholic and sister (i think this book is the most touching one among all, i was crying in buckets). the other 2 is by itself - the undomestic goddess (not too bad) and can you keep a secret (i tell you, this one i laugh until i want to die).

a common trend of all of her above books is that anything disastrous happens, the female lead always thinks of running away from reality (and in couple of the above books, they did run away, which was stupid as grown adult women absolutely do not run away from problems, i mean where can you run to? reality still there what.).

another is why do the male lead always being protrayed as successful, rich, dashing, witty, understanding, so understanding that with a look they know what the female lead is thinking? ooooo, that just makes me so jealous.

but lucky thing is dar do sound a bit like the male lead. erm, by that, i meant the last point la, cause, well, he is not dashing and definitely not successful or rich or what. but we are a bit telepatic as i only need move my tail abit sometimes and he knows what i'm thinking about. ok, not that i've a tail but i meant in context. if you get what i mean. =P

like when he asks me how much i bought that new pair of shoes, i say 'its on sale! only $5.90!' and his face goes like 'ya right.' but of course he just says 'ok' and agrees with me. tee hee hee...

my apologies, i digress. but anyways, do read her books if you have the time. its really worth the read. just what i'm looking forward to after a long stressful day at work. =)
