Never Too Old For Comics

I totally AGREE with that…
Never too old to read comics…

The World’s Greatest Ghosts (12/50)

Quoting a friend of mine:

Why did I do this to myself?

Obviously from the title; my 12th book I successfully completed in my 2013 Reading Challenge was simply about ghosts.
And as it sounds; it did not disappoint, it delivered and scared the hell out of me.
At one point; I honestly could not read anything from the book before I sleep, which is one of the my few pleasures I like to do before I go to bed.
Anyway; one of the stories stuck to me; the one about the Lady Bohemia (I think that is what she was called); a lady ghost that roamed around the house of her relatives, and actually taking care of them. That is definitely the correct definition of a friendly ghost. 😉 It gave me goosebumps.

 

 

By the Pricking of My Thumbs (11/50)

My eleventh book was nothing but for one of my favourite authors; Agatha Christie :D, actually she might be my favourite and not one of them. 😉

I have to admit it is my first Tommy and Tuppence books; even though this seems to be number 4 of their adventures; according to Goodreads; but I just love Tuppence and her natural instincts to solving mystery (when usually she does not know she is on to something :D)

Everything was so muddled up with each other, my guesses were not even close to actual truth.

I really enjoyed my 11th book 😀

2/5th Manga Domination

It has been a while since I checked my GoodReads account to see how am I doing in my 2013 Reading Challenge.
And it was bad 😐
It said I am 10% behind schedule and 5 books exactly behind.
Looking at the books I finished reading, and I noticed that 2 books out of 5 where Manga Comics. 😀

No complains about that, but I am still behind, thanks to the second volume of the Game of thrones….
It is nearly 1000 pages and I am not close to finishing half of it :S

The Night of the Mi’raj (8/50)

I quote my own review from Goodreads:

 

I enjoyed reading this book. Even though somehow I misplaced it and just found it again yesterday. It has this spell to pull you in again. Motivating me to keep on reading and finishing it gladly

I do not know how I came by such a book, but anything with a mystery in its plot attracts me like opposite poles on a magnet.
I like the idea where the author reveals the mysteries of living in a strictly repressive Rich Saudi Arabian society.
Many things were totally new for me when I am an Egyptian myself; I would have thought our lives would be similar but it was not even close (I do not mean to be horrible; but I am thankful for that).

In conclusion; this is a book that I recommend for mystery fans to read, especially if you are interested in getting to learn a little about a culture different from yours.

This officially make my number 8 our of 50 in my 2013 Reading Challenge.
