Book challenge : Day 04 : Favourite book of your favourite series


Day 4 of the book challenge. I know I didn't exactly posted everyday, but I want to finish this book challenge by the way. It was fun talking about books every time.

Okay! 
My favourite book in Harry Potter series is...


This is the fourth book of the Harry Potter series. This one is my favourite because I think the Triwizard Tournament was super interesting. The book was fast paced and full with actions, magic and surprises although the ending was quite heartbreaking. Harry wasn't as oblivious as he was in earlier books. And I can see spark of romances among the characters.


The summer holidays are dragging on and Harry Potter can't wait for the start of the school year. It is his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and there are spells to be learnt and (unluckily) Potions and Divination lessons to be attended. But Harry can't know that the atmosphere is darkening around him, and his worst enemy is preparing a fate that it seems will be inescapable ...With characteristic wit, fast-paced humour and marvellous emotional depth, J.K. Rowling has proved herself yet again to be a master story-teller

Book challenge : Day 03 : Your favourite series


Day 3 of my 30 Day Book Challenge. 

My favourite series of all time is.....


I started reading Harry Potter when I was 15. I borrowed Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban from a friend and I loved it. Afterwards, I bought my very own Harry Potter collection with my pocket money and I could say that Harry Potter was the trigger for my books obsession.

Book challenge : Day 02 : A book that you've read more than 3 times


Well well well...

I will read this book every year without fail.


Bila Hilman dapat bertemu dengan anaknya Jeslina di New York setelah berbelas tahun terpisah, mereka berasa begitu bahagia. Namun, keriangan mereka diragut bila kereta yang mereka naiki terlibat dengan satu kemalangan jalan raya. Jeslina koma sementara Hilman pula dituduh memandu dalam keadaan mabuk. Dalam situasi genting itu, muncul Mia Sara, seorang petugas di Kedutaan Malaysia, Washington D.C. Melalui bantuannya, Hilman dinasihatkan ke mahkamah untuk mendapat keadilan. Namun, bila satu konspirasi untuk menutup kemalangan itu diketahui oleh Hilman, dia mengambil keputusan untuk mencari kebenaran dengan caranya. Sebagai seorang penembak tepat dalam pasukan Polis diRaja Malaysia, survival adalah mainan hidupnya. Siasatannya terhadap konspirasi kemalangan itu akhirnya membawa beliau ke pintu White House! Dan, Hilman tidak sekali-kali terpaku di hadapan pintu itu...


I read Malay books too, okay!

Book Challenge : Day 01 : Best book you read last year


I didn't read plenty of books last year. I was too busy with my job, my life, moving to a new home and planning my backpack trip to Japan last year, I couldn't focus on reading so much. But I remember some of the books that I read were so good.

The best book I read last year was SIX SUSPECTS by Vikas Swarup. This is a unique whodunit mystery book as it was written based on the POV of six persons, all of them were the suspects of a murder. The deceased was the son of the Home Minister of Uttar Pradesh. I like this book as I like this genre. Whodunit mysteries always excites me and I feel that this book is different because there is no detective in it. The book was divided in different sections, all written neatly in the POV of the suspects respectively.


Seven years ago, Vivek 'Vicky' Rai, the playboy son of the Home Minister of Uttar Pradesh, murdered Ruby Gill at a trendy restaurant in New Delhi simply because she refused to serve him a drink. Now Vicky Rai is dead, killed at his farmhouse at a party he had thrown to celebrate his acquittal. The police search each and every guest. Six of them are discovered with guns in their possession. In this elaborate murder mystery we join Arun Advani, India's best-known investigative journalist, as the lives of these six suspects unravel before our eyes: a corrupt bureaucrat; an American tourist; a stone-age tribesman; a Bollywood sex symbol; a mobile phone thief; and an ambitious politician. Each is equally likely to have pulled the trigger. Inspired by actual events, Vikas Swarup's eagerly awaited second novel is both a riveting page turner and an insightful peek into the heart and soul of contemporary India.

30-Day Book Challenge

Hello fellow bibliophiles.

I followed quite a few Malaysian and international book tubers and bloggers. I was inspired to write my own blog about books after reading their beautifully written reviews. I wish I could write like them. I saw people doing this 30-day book challenge in Instagram and Books Amino so I decided to join them. Below are the questions that I have to answer every single day for my Book Challenge. I wonder if I should write in English or Bahasa Melayu?
