Bedtime Companion for Both The Son and His Mother

We buy books for Irfan at all sorts of places. Sometimes at Borders, sometimes MPH, sometimes Giant, and at times even at the night market eh kak tolong jgn tipu pasar malam mana ada juai buku comel untuk kanak-kanak comel!. Growing up in a house filled with books, I always got under the power of this magical spell to buy something whenever I step foot into any bookstores. Like during our outing to watch Alice in Wonderland some time last week, I can't help wanting to 'have a look around' in MPH. The moment I stepped foot in that place, the smell of the books just beckoned to me and I was transported back to the days where Grisham's and Robert Jordan's used to be my sleep companions.

This can't be, I thought to myself. I HAD TO  BUY something good to be absorbed in at night, when Irfan is asleep and I got nothing better to do than watching Desperate Housewives! I was in a dire need for a good book to curl in bed with! But we were in a rush and there was no time to even glance through the New Arrival sections, so I just grabbed another bedtime stories for Irfan instead. Sigh. I was pretty much disappointed as the urge doesn't come as frequent nowadays and I didn't get to fulfill the urge when it came this time around. But well, to look on the bright side, at least Irfan loves the Goodnight Little Moon series I got for him and had been asking me to read it for him every night before he goes to sleep.

That's Goodnight Little Moon at the farthest back. I love it  because it's got an extremely short story compared to the rest of his books! Heeeeee..such a lazy bum mama I am. :-p

What about me? I guess I would just resort to re-read the book I got from a dear friend during my confinement. They're hilarious, you know! They'd surely put me to sleep with a self-satisfying chuckle AND a huge smile on my face.



Now, if you think I'm gonna let go of the urge for a good bedtime companion, think again! I'm really gonna get my hands on them one of these days, so any recommendations on the latest good books you are hooked on?

  6. hahah same here. every night i have to read books for zahraa.. she will scream kuku!!!!! if i dont.. and then she will slap my face i fall asleep while reading.. huhuhu nasty huh?? mak kena dera dgn anak ni... zahraa dont really like those stories that i had to blab about. dia suka buku yg kit aboleh describe whats happening and all. her favorite is buku2 about animals, this one buku what should we say, an islamic book. for me, I am now hooked up with novel pahlawan islam from pts - best giler.. stories that i dont know before. at first kononya suapaya nanti boleh cerita kat anak2 about pahlawan islam la kan.. tapi at last diri sendiri mesmerised, kagum dgn diorang semua. at last tertido sambil bersyukur banyaknya nikmat tuhan bagi kita.. try la satu! the best is tariq's khalid's and sultan muhammad al fateh

  13. books! the thickest novel i've ever read was "kafka on the shore" by haruki murakami back in 2006. page turning n hooked after you got thru the slow first quarter.

    if any of you like short fun poems, u should get "where the sidewalk ends" by shel silverstein. funny poems with funny illustrations. great for mums, kids, teachers n people of all ages :) i'd have to get a copy for myself too.
