Azam 2011:
-pelbagaikan bacaan!

1. Let Me In
- genre horror memang bukan pilihan, tak sangka jadi buku pertama 2011..

2. Spring-Heeled Jack
-children's book - (so-so. Anyway, too short, finished reading in the train on the way back from the library)

3.Ghosts I Have Been
- YA, fantasy. Quite ok.

4.The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm
- fantasy, a bit sci-fi?
Unexpectedly a very interesting read. Love the info on the African culture, customs, words.. Read twice already.

5. The Truth
-fantasy, discworld
I realized that I preferred The Watch books since they feature more Captain Carrot (everyone likes Carrot), Commander Vimes and Lord Vetinari.

6. Fever 1793
-historical fiction, YA
Nice research done. But I don't feel that sympathetic towards the characters- flat characters maybe?

7. River Boy
-YA. Why does this book cover is 'hauntingly' similar to this Things Not Seen?

8. The Akhenaten Adventure
-Children. Fantasy.
I don't like the writing. Too childish maybe? But I've read lots of children book. I had to force myself to finish this one and kept alternating with other book (Jingo)

9. Jingo
-fantasy, Discworld. Much better. Lord Vetinari in action! And you gotta love Leonard de Quirm.

10. Holes
-YA. Great read. End up buying myself a copy!

11. Wyrd Sisters
-Fantasy, Discworld. The first book featuring Granny Weatherwax, and the coven. Which is weird since I've read Tiffany Aching series and met the witches already. Good to know more about them though, but hey, I like Vimes and the gang more.

12. Moving Mama to Town
-Children. Quite good, but in a way it makes me sad..

If you like Vimes and his City Watch, check out Guards! Guards!, Men at Arms and Feet of Clay

Equal Rites and Witches Abroad for more on Granny Weatherwax and her witch friends.

Read the first two already. Both of them and the Night Watch are my favourites. I'll look for Feet of Clay soon I hope :)
