Yeah, Twilight is definitely targeted at the tween market. Romance mah..naturally, the girls will love it :P

Hi Joyous LOL, the Twilight series huh :P Thought that's more for teenagers (theme wise anyway)? Has she tried the Harry Potter books? I love the books, and I've heard that they are much better written than the Twilight series (which I've not and probably will not read).

Hi Joyous Dunno if you still check out this thread...I've not been in these forums (SG Brides & SG Motherhood) in ages. I'm glad your daughter enjoys John Bellairs. You can try borrowing from San Bookshop. They have quite a good collection. I usually buy his books rather than...

Joyous Dunno if this comes too late. For horror for older kids, I would recommend the works of John Bellairs (can find his books in the libraries, Borders and even some San bookshops) He wrote a series of Gothic horror stories set in '60s USA. Very creepy stuff. I started reading his...

ariesta Yah, Robin Hobb is a chabor. Actually, I think most of her books start off really REALLY slow. You really need to have patience when reading her stuff, but it usually pays off in the end. Not so for her latest series (the Soldier Son trilogy) though...it was still readable, but I...

ariesta I've nvr read Eddings, but my hb hates his stuff. But my hb loves David Gemmel. He died oredi..did u know? So sad. His last book was completed by his wife I think. Like Bear said, GRRM is quite complex. His cast of characters is very wide, with some supporting characters even...

Hi ladies, It's nice to see life back in this board. Any Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman fans to boot! I read Good Omens and American Gods and loved both. Nvr got around to reading the Discworld series but my hb likes them (he's a big fantasy fan). Sis has Sandman...I've been meaning to...

I agree with Bear. Both don't taste good to me. Awfully Chocolate has a weird tasting sponge that's kinda dry, and while Choc-A-Bloc is better, I did not find their cakes rich enuff. I mean if you want good chocolate cake, it has to be rich right, otherwise why eat it? :P Swiss Bake's Choc...

Bear, think you read too fast liao..hehehe. I liked the whole Hallows part - we had some background on Harry's cloak (I was wondering how no one else seemed to have such a wonderful item); the elder wand also fit in nicely (since Voldy was going after it, thinking that he could only destroy...

Hi Bear Since you complained that you were talking to yourself, I better write something here :P *Deathly Hallows Spoilers Ahead* I actually loved the last Potter book. It wasn't my favourite (think that honour still goes to HBP & PoA), but I thought that JK Rowling tied up...

Same here...still can't access now..

Thanks for the link! I sent it to my sis and she said it looks very good...*drool* Yes, I love the armored bear too And I love Lyra's daemon I sure am looking fwd to the movie! I hope they do the book justice.

Hi Bear! Glad you're enjoying The Golden Compass! And The Subtle Knife is very good too...so nice to have good books to read right? AWw, too bad abt the Phantom. Should've asked you before I went to get the tix..we really wldn't hv minded you joining us Hehe..having Cody is...

Bear Hee..my sis already extra mah...so add you oso no diff :P But i dunno if Sistec will let u choose a specific seat leh. Let me know lah..if ure keen to go and want company. My hb is also not the arty farty sort despite being from NUS Arts...but he loves music and he enjoys the music...

Avid Yes, World Trade centre is the one w Nic Cage..yah man, it was damn boring. For an event that was so horrific, I dunno how Oliver Stone managed to make it so dull and emotionless. I remembered tearing alot at the end of United 93. And that was a movie filled with unknowns. It ran...

Hi all Glad to see that the thread has sort of revived..hehehe. nec Good to hear Phantom rocks! I keep humming the music in my head, esp after watching the movie version on Ch5 recently. It's quite funny having to work while "Masquerade" keeps playing over and over again in my head :P...

Hi Bear Ooh, didn't know you had no one to go with! I may be watching this Wed instead..swap with my folks coz dad's got the flu...he may not be well enough to watch it this week. Ure hb dowan to watch? My sis actually wanted to watch King Lear (the one w Ian Mckellan), but the tix damn...

Hey all Have not had time to come in for awhile..been real busy at work, and when I get home, all my time is focused on baby, TV and my online pc game :P Bear, I changed my mind and decided to watch Phantom of the Opera after all. We're watching the 2nd last show...on May 19. Spent $400+...

Avid Yeah, I watched the 1st ep of Ugly Betty last wk. Ok lah, the premise was alot like 'A Devil Wears Prada'. Think Heroes better :P Are u watching the latest season of CSI? It's good! My hb is a big fan of The Shield, so he's really glad it's back. Quite alot of shows to watch now...

Hi nec I usually rent books...seldom go to the library. Funny thing is..my sis works in NLB..hahaha. Robin Hobb's latest series is not bad, but like most of her other stories, she takes quite awhile to get things moving. But I don't feel that this series is as strong as her previous 2...
