Guava's Going Overseas!

I don't even know how to start off this post because the title is already so blatantly direct.

I'm lying on the bed as I type this. I just started packing my luggage today. And thank the lords I finished packing, because I'm flying off tomorrow. Wahaha i'm not the Mistress of Procrastination for nothing.

Guava's mummy was driven half-mad by her daughter's inefficiency in packing her own luggage. Anyway, she recommended bringing a book overseas to ease Guava's boredom. I decided against the idea of bringing my Nook because I am immensely afraid that I might lose my beautiful baby to the terrifying streets of HK.

Therefore what I did was sweep my sparkly pair of eyes across my humongous bunch of books situated at my bookshelf in the hopes something would catch my eye(s). Lol. And lo and behold, something did.

Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night.

[Book Review] Dark Needs At Night's Edge (Immortals After Dark, #5) by Kresley Cole

Sooooo, here we go again, another one of Kresley Cole's books. My infatuation for this series has barely seemed to fade at all ever since I fell in love with it yet again after re-reading Kiss of A Demon King (the first one that caught my eye). And this book has again proven why I love the series so much....

Yes, yes, again we have stereotypes of the hero so handsome it hurts. I can't say the same for the females, considering other books where some girls are described as plain and dull (though they get the guy, anyway). But this is reality -- readers are not expected to transcend stereotypes and ponder about the true meaning of life and whatnot in fantasy books like this. Girls like, and we want an ultra-hot vampire or werewolf completely smitten with us. And as overused as the formula of the hero is, we still would prefer them over the resident immortal fat pig. (I am not fatist, btw.) It is still a fantasy for us to indulge in, after all!

[Book Review] A Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark, #2) by Kresley Cole

So, admittedly I was obsessed with this book even before I actually read it, and when I managed to find it after sifting through tons of authors with the 'COL' (Kresley COLe) label, all the while looking around to make sure no one was catching me staring at blush-worthy titles and covers, I WAS SO HAPPY. 

Okay, I didn't get this printed edition of the book (the one I got was slightly bigger and with a decent cover that didn't make obvious of what content was actually inside) but readers may identify with it better: 

This kind of covers make life for a young, supposedly innocent schoolgirl rather difficult you see. 

(oh, the blurbs at the back of the book too)
