Yehey!
It’s here! It arrived today!
This is my Birthday Gift/Christmas Gift to myself! Yey! Happy Birthday and Happy Christmas to me!
I scanned through the book. The paintings (by the author) are so fascinating. And as Entertainment Weekly would put it: “A blend of ALICE IN WONDERLAND and THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE.” Now, what could be more fascinating than that? I both have ALICE… and THE LION… on my bookshelf. This is really a great addition to my growing library here at home.
I know I’m itching to read it in one sitting (ahehehe… I prefer lying down!!!), but I still can’t. I still have an assignment to finish (hmmm… 27 more pages to read, and 3 essays to answer… Three LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG essays!!!)
I did browse on the first few pages (oh, well, to be honest, first 9 chapters, including the prologue of course!), and I had to control myself from turning another page! Based on the online tests that I take, I have an above average Emotional Quotient, unfortunately right now it does not show!
I still have a vague picture on the what the story is all about. I can’t wait to find it out…
Heck, if I have time to write this (in-between my study periods), I’m sure I’ll be able to find time going to ABARAT!
Haha!
*laughing sheepishly*
