Man, these are good

So, considering that I only have two weeks of holiday (and the first week of it was ruined), I spent my times on reading some books.I'm gonna give you some reviews for these books I read. Okay, so lets start from the first one, its Bergdorf Blondes

Found this somewhere in a bookstore when I wandered around the town alone. Hurggggggggh.

This is a great book. I first read this one when I was in highschool, but it was the Indonesian version. So I kept looking for this baby in every bookstored I could possibly reach.

Generally, this book is about a girl who tried to survive a life in New York. With her super rich boyfriend and her passion for sewing (or probably repairing) wedding dresses. It's all about high fashion, New York girls, and it's quite similar with Candace Bushnell's Sex and The City. This is a really girly book and look at the chic cover. The writing style is also so fresh and quirky. Smart witty jokes that would tickle and make you giggle for a second. And who's the author?

Let's meet the sweet sweet lady, Plum Sykes.

Sykes is an  English-born fashion writer and New York “it girl". In 1993 Plum Sykes became a fashion assistant at British Vogue. She was featured that year, with, among others, designer Bella Freud and model Stella Tennant in Babes in London, in a photographic shoot by the American Steven Meisel, which was produced by the rising fashion guru Isabella Blow.

In 1997 Sykes became a contributing editor on fashion for American Vogue, of which Anna Wintour, also British, had been editor-in-chief since 1988. 

In 2004, the world of New York fashion was the setting for Sykes' first novel, "Bergdorf Blondes" and sold a quarter of a million copies worldwide. It took its title from the Bergdorf Goodman store in Upper Manhattan, founded at the end of the 19th century

A second novel, "The Debutante Divorcée", was published in 2006. Plum publicised it with an array of personal appearances at stores in New York (Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Frederic Fekkai, Ferragamo, Neiman Marcus and Oscar de la Renta).

Okay, moving on to the next  book. I have Deception Point by Dan Brown.

Quick review. When a NASA satellite discovers an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory -- a victory with profound implications for NASA policy and the impending presidential election. To verify the authenticity of the find, the White House calls upon the skills of intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic scholar Michael Tolland, Rachel travels to the Arctic and uncovers the unthinkable: evidence of scientific trickery -- a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy. But before she can warn the President, Rachel and Michael are ambushed by a deadly team of assassins. Fleeing for their lives across a desolate and lethal landscape, their only hope for survival is to discover who is behind this masterful plot.

I really wish I could meet him in person.

I've been a longtime fan of Dan Brown's masterpiece since I read his first book about Langdon, The Da Vinci Code. I was... in middle school at the moment I guess. And I swear, I had never found such book before as I was still a really young girl who knew that such books didnt exist. But then I read it and I got attached to it and finally I got addicted. My passion for this kind of thriller, mysteries and conspirations was first raised by his books

And believe me when I say this, I have ALL of his books.

Having and completing my collection of his books was one of my 2011's resolutions. And now it's completed. I even had them in two languages.

It's nuts sometimes what you do for something you like with pleasures.

I think I'm kinda obsessed with books. Like, severely obsessed. Lol.

Okay, so I guess thats it for today. Gotta get back to my real life, revising for my finals next week.

Wish me luck, you coffee drinkers. Wish me lots of it.
