I've found my new favourite novel of the year :D it's Susan Elizabeth Phillips again :DD and it's her older work - Kiss An Angel. WHOOTS I'M LOVING IT. The whole circus theme is so cool and fresh, and the hero is perfect with the heroine :D I love them both, and the calafares too hahaha. Though even the calafares are well-developed... I LOVE SEP!
Sighs. Romcom novels just make you do that you know. Sigh in contentment, I mean. And some tears if it's a good story. And real laugh-out-loud moments. Sighs. I love this genre the best, with thriller far behind in the ranking. It's just so simple to read you know. It's always easy to connect with the characters and appreciate the plot. Not to mention the well-penned humour in some scenes. If only I could choose any novel and live my life as per the contents. And it will be an SEP novel since it's certainly an HEA. I LOVE HEA!
Though the journeys start out with characters and issues all over the place, you know they'll end up happy. It's the journey that really matters in the books. AND I LOVE JOURNEYS THAT BRING ME TO SOMEPLACE HAPPY. Sooooo I love this shelter of mine :D
Anyways, I always have troubles picturing characters in my head, even though I love to do that. Painting the scenes into colours and shapes from the vivid descriptions in the form of words. I'm most particular about faces. The simplest way was to match characters' faces to those of celebrities'. Sometimes it's Brad Pitt. Sometimes it's some male model posing for Levi's or whatnots. This time, for me personally, Alex Markov is that American Idol's host... Mr something-something X: his name slipped my mind. Anyways, you get the point. Males are easier. As long as he's a good looking caucasian, he just looks like every other good looking caucasian... LOLL. Oops.
But females are so hard to picture ):
Alex Markov is my favourite hero. He's different from other romance novels' heroes who are more jovial and crack jokes and are sweet all the time. Though fine, nearly all the heroes in such novels have commitment issues but Alex's was different. Cuz he's featured as some tough guy with Russian blood or something. So he's mean and rough but still sexy as hell and all. God knows I loveeee masculinity LOLL.
Heh I don't know why I'm taking such silly time to document my latest book frenzy. My trip yesterday down to the library caused me to return with 4 novels with the cute little red heart symbol near the bottom of the books' spine you know. The authors' names all start with Susan... HAHAHA.
Oh well. The first book was a good start. Hope the other Susan doesn't disappoint.
Okay, I'm really done with rambling on about books. My back of my eyes is already aching with words. And I'm still left with maybe 1/10th of the book heh.
Lastlyyyyyyy.... well... I've become a withdrawal to the circular flow of income in the economy D: my mum's paying me $10 for every day of housework I perform. Hahaha. And I suppose I can only spend the money, plus my meagre $100+ savings in my bank account, on travelling to and fro church because that's my only life. And the occasional movies. Sighs. I'm wish I could summon more regret for my impulsive quitting of my stable job earlier this month, but I can't. I only regret not being able to spend time with my colleagues anymore... but I hated the job.
C'est la vie. Eww, I hate the cliche ending *PUKES*
you're my only stigma left /:
