I'm currently based in Penang and is in love with her blog, books and camera. Am totally addicted to black coffee (no sugar and cream, please) and nasi lemak makes me a happy, happy girl. When not reading (or working), I’m a shutterbug using mostly my good ol' Nikon D40 (and now I'm obsessed with my iPhone) to take the photos you see here in this blog. The Amazon Kindle, Dell Mini (a Netbook), Loverboy Bear (a hunkish teddy from Vermont), and Combat Bear (a plush teddy from Rhode Island) are a few of my favorite things. RSS me.

Mailbox Monday: What books came into your house last week?

Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page.

I have an exciting report for Mailbox Monday this week. I don’t think I’ll ever be short of great reading materials, because guess what, I received another book from Robert Fate—his latest—last week! Baby Shark's Jugglers at the Border is scheduled to be released on September 2009. This is the second advance review copy (ARC) that I have received and I am counting my blessings! I have enjoyed the last three Baby Shark books tremendously and cannot wait to dig into this one. Robert Fate will be making a guest appearance here so be sure catch him on my blog! More information on this is coming your way soon.

Meanwhile, do check out his other Baby Shark books mentioned here in my blog back in January this year.

October 1958—When Otis Millett's estranged wife, Dixie Logan aka The Dallas Firecracker, as she was known on the Texas striptease circuit, is murdered it spurs a manhunt that pairs Kristin and Otis with Lt. Carl Lynch, a straight-arrow homicide detective with the Fort Worth PD. This blending of by-the-book and fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants investigative styles brings Kristin way too close to a ruthless cop-killing gang of bank robbers and their boss, a dreamy maniac who lives with his mother and hears voices. The question that endangers Kristin's life and leads to a chase from Fort Worth to New Mexico is where did Dixie hide the bank heist loot? Hold on tight—once again bad men learn too late they should have taken Baby Shark seriously.

Do read more about the book on Amazon.com and more about the author here.

Book Talk

"Books give us pleasure not because they make us comfortable, though some good ones may, but because they entertain us, they make us laugh, they make us cry; they inform, persuade, disturb, convince, seduce us; they make us think, speculate, see - and we recognize what we see as true, not as the truth but as a truth in the writer's fabulous construction that corresponds to what we have observed in ourselves, or others, or in the world at large, or can conceive of observing."

- William McPherson
