Bookworm




At last, i had found the book i've been looking for. The Last Empress. Woohoo! Only RM29.90 for a hardcover book.







But for those who are interested, it is advisable that you read the first series of the book- Empress Orchid. So when i went to China last time, i was am fascinated by the history of China's rulers. The last empress of China- CiXi was described as a 'curse' and the main factor that lead one of the oldest monarchy ruler to collapsed.





I was quite reluctant to show the picture because her face just gives me the creeps. (no offence). You thought as a concubine, she will look like this- demure, dainty and petite. Can't blame me though, i watch too much chinese movie. (Alasan)

She look like this leh...... (the one under the umbrella). Nevertheless, she is a prominent figure in China's history.







I'm reading other books as well. Bought this 2 book with a 10% discount. It's been so long i haven't read a historical romance book. (Guilty pleasures). Picked a novel by Judith McNaught innocently until i went to look for it at the Internet and found out that this book has bring a lot of controversial issues- Rape, abusive relationship. Mmhhhh......




This is the first time i'm reading a book from Jodi Picoult. The storyline is interesting and i am actually curios about the traditions of Amish people.





Ok tata!
