bought 3 books today :D hahaa.
didn't expect to buy 3.. was considering buying one 'cos i'm finishing up 'where is God when it hurts' and i wanted something easier to read. fiction is always easier to read than Philip Yancey's books 'cos fiction is not real. hahaa.
didn't buy the books 'cos they were on some bestseller list or something. on the contrary, i avoided all the bestsellers, and decided to buy books which i felt were interesting to me.
bought More than it hurts you by Darin Strauss. hahaa. Thought it looked interesting. Didn't realize that he's the author of Chang & Eng (!!!) wow. hahaha.
also bought 'the gift of therapy - reflections on being a therapist'. Plucked this out from the shelf. it was already the last one there, and it caught my eyes immediately. hahaha. flipped through, and i could identify, so i decided to buy it. ahahaa. can learn from someone who's had at least 35 years of psychotherapy experience! :) turns out that it's from quite a famous author too.
the last one caught my eyes just as I was making one last round around the bookstore. Was contemplating getting another book from Philip Yancey, but a book on pastoral counselling caught my eyes. hahaa. flipped through that book and realized that it doesn't really value add to me 'cos I already know most of the stuff inside. then this one caught my eyes. hahaa. 'What women don't know (and men don't tell you)'. written with simple clarity and spiritual insight. i flipped through and found that it's quite direct and good for all sisters. hahaa. so decided to get it :D
reviews for the last 2 books seem better than the first though. hahaa
