_Cross Fire (Alex Cross)_ by James Patterson Well, I downloaded this book a while ago and wasn’t sure if I had already read it or not. Then, I did a search of my posts (comes in handy!) and found that I HAD already read it…. So, no need to rewrite about the synopsis. Since I…

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – 50 days to go!
Just realized that I missed writing yesterday as I spent it at the pool. I had meant to do some writing and work, but instead just enjoyed spacing out, watching people and relaxing. It was a good alternative. 🙂 Today is rainy, so I have no excuse not to get some things done. Unfortunately, I…

_11th Hour_ by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro
_11th Hour_ by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro So, it’s possible that I may have to return my attentions back to work or something as I’m plowing through books like there is no tomorrow. Or, I should read more challenging books… 🙂 In any case, this was one of the better books in the Women’s…

_Kill Alex Cross_ by James Patterson
_Kill Alex Cross_ by James Patterson When on holiday, there’s nothing better to read than a James Patterson novel. It’s quick, mindless and entertaining.

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – Days 2 & 3
I think I’m going to have to stop counting the days that I am here because I can’t really keep track of them anymore. It’s great when the days finally start to blend together as it means that ‘vacation-mode’ is finally setting in. Mostly, I do the days in the title to differentiate the posts…

_Fifty Shades of Grey_ by EL James
_Fifty Shades of Grey_ by EL James It might concern me that a novel like this is on the top of New York Times bestseller’s list, or it might concern me more that people are flocking to read this novel over other literary works. However, literature always is a reflection of the times, it seems…

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – Day 1
There’s nothing quite like waking up and realizing that you’re on vacation with absolutely nothing to do. If you’re like me, then on a normal day your mind might start racing with making a mental list of what needs to be done. So, when you remember that, in fact, you have nothing that ‘has’ to…

Summer 2012: Abu Dhabi to Phuket, Thailand – The Flight
Let me just start with – It’s fantastic to be on vacation at last! 😀 We embarked in the early morning from Abu Dhabi on Etihad’s partner airline – AirBerlin. First, a few comments about this flight. This was the first time I’d been on an AirBerlin flight as I’ve hardly been to Europe and…
