Eat, pray, love

My ohh my, 12.15am 30th June 2013, I finally finished it. After starting reading it many months ago, I at last completed this unique non fiction. Downright honestly, I was so excited reading this book initially, the revealing narration of the narrator gives me reasons to find inner peace and freedom of the mind for me, but I stopped reading half way through for many reasons, the most effecting this is that I keep on imaging Liz in the image of Julia Roberts, whom I don't like. Can't understand why she gets to play Liz in the movie, the sarcastic look in her eyes, goody two shoes, best at playing the bad cheating soul in My best friend's wedding, that's her in true colors, but this is my personal thoughts on her. Anyways, I am so glad I managed to put her image out of my mind after months of skipping this book and reading maybe ten different books in between. One thing for sure, I am as fucked up as Liz in the early part of the book, too much negative vibes within me, too anxious over the most mundane matters, immature in thoughts, wanting so much to quit my job, blaming my boss and others for the shitty feeling I have to labour over too long a period. Truth is, I am still too weak emotionally, too relying on people to make my days, too unrealistic, super childish. Must start to be stronger inside, take the course of living my own life, be in control of my own destiny. When the heck am I going to actually start writing my first book, must try harder. The last time went ti Bali, had a grand time with hubby. Told him earlier today that I remember being so happy and in control then, about 10years ago that is. Must find that person again in me, revive her like Liz has revived her true beautiful prospect of a person. I probably won't be going to India living in an Asyram for months, have my babies to care for, but I must do all within my powers to regain my mental strength and live the remaining few years of my life with as much of great eating, praying and loving......

Perfect by Judith Mcnaught

Boy oh boy, I finally managed to finish reading this unnecessarily long novel. Yup, that's what I meant, it's longer than necessary. In short, it's another Cinderella story line. I truly enjoy the book in general though. Zach Benedict aka Zachary Stanhope the super rich mega movie star hunk not privy to the likes of seasoned Hollywood stars including my own faves Kevin Costner....became every primsy's women dark fantasy hero, convicted to prison for murdering his wife. Then there's Julie, also another of goody two shoes' women's fantasy character I think, had a depressing childhood after being dumped by her biological parents, but with the kindest of hearts, snow white-beauty and the sorts. Look, I never like to repeat the stories I read in this blog, just some short 5year old style train if thoughts. I finished this one at 4:50am, that was about 6hours ago, and I did it in haste, having to flip st least 50 of the last phase of the novel, hoping to find another twist or an indication something other than a ohhh-so-boring and predictable happy ending: but nope, no luck there. Thanks Mcnaught though for another feel good love story, I needed the love ooze to make my emotional battle with my B#@S less hurting.

The sleeping beauty trilogy by Anne Rice

What?....yes y'all, I read all three novels in this trilogy. What can I say about them? Complicated really. But to make the complication simple for busy people like you and me, I would just say, they are readable, at least most of the pages. The first half of the first book "the claiming of sleeping beauty" is what I enjoy most though. In fact the reason I continued reading is all in those first 100 pages. Intriguing novel based on the subject that people usually wouldn't want to discuss publicly. After several days I continued with the second phase "Beauty's punishment" and the final one " beauty's Release". I am amazed at myself for finishing it but I guess they are totally no where near as bad as the Fifty Shades trilogy which I found nauseatingly "plastic". And I would say, "hey, this one is a best seller! Do we really have that many perverts on this planet?". In summary, I found this read as some kind of a discovery, rather ...to the darkness of man' and women' tortured minds.....
