Review: 34 Bubblegums and Candies

Weird that I couldn't find this title on Amazon! There were no reviews and I didn't hear about the book before I bought it. That makes it an abnormal purchase for me.

I've heard that the book's cover art plays a part in a purchase decision. I've never personally done that before. Things that normally matter to me are the author, any reviews I've already had from trusted people (read as people who's taste match mine) and the summary behind books. Yes!! I normally read the summary. This one was an exception. Two things that made me get the book - the funny/weird title and the cover art. An impulse buy at Landmark that was worth it.

The author has done a great job with the stories. They are funny. Enough to have me laughing in the cab and the other folks pooling with me give a quizzical look. Overall a very thought provoking collection of short (at times, really short) stories that I enjoyed reading. If someone's reading my blog, you can catch the author's writing at her blog

Back!! Again!

I've decided to start blogging again.... again!! Some things that I noticed about the blog being that I have over a "thousand" impressions. Guess it must be google doing all the visiting, or friends just checking in to see if I have anything interesting to say. Like I ever did!! Another thing I've noticed is that I have this ad sense account attached to this blog alone that's made 55 cents in the past year or so. Thank god I don't have to pay to maintain this account. 

Currently reading Inuyasha at onemanga.com and Head First Design Patterns. Waiting eagerly for Conn Iggulden's next book on Genghis Khan - "Genghis - Lord of the Bows". And working on something very interesting at office. For folks who haven't been in touch with me, I now work for Amazon.com. And yeah, the book links point to Amazon. ;). And no, I don't make a cent from these links. Just that finding any book on the site is easy as I work on it all the time.
