books in my wishlist

today is Lan's birthday. happy birthday Lan! muaks to a very long-time friend of mine. i've known him since my first year. i'll always remember his CAQ =P~~~. i remember the escapades all of us used to go for back in our Uni days - the makan-makan sessions, the jalan-jalan sessions, the movie sessions, what else? shopping ada jugak ka? LOL.

anyway, i am suddenly reminded of Sidney Sheldon's book entitled Master Of the Game (which was pulished the year i was born). Lan loaned his copy to me last time, said it was one of his favorites. and i happened to like the book very much. the book revolves around the lives of the MacGregor/Blackwell family, mainly about Kate Blackwell and her family, ancestry and the building of her father's company, Kruger-Brent from a small business to a multinational corporation. a good read if you ask me. too many manipulations in the book. i think if i were to know Kate Blackwell in real life i would despise her very much. haha.

i came across it again after four years at my sil's house, the book brought back memories, one that included i wasn't sure if i ever returned the book back to Lan or not (oooops). i did some googling and found out there's a sequel to the book. interesting. Sheldon died in January 2007, but the book has just been released in August 2009. it's a collaboration between Sheldon and a Tilly Bagshawe. so i wonder if it's any good as the original. hmmm. maybe i should give it as a present to somebody.

i didn't manage to find out the actual details about the book yet. i tried searching for it in Kinokuniya but they didn't seem to return any results, but i did come across a few book titles from MPH that i would like to get my hands on. i'm running out of toilet books now, so i need to replenish my reading materials =P. the last book i bought was Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella, i finished reading the book within three days.

so, here's my book wishlist:
