Aicha's Lucky Find No. 1

THIS JUST IN:

I have found this magnificent piece for me in Booksale last night. When I looked up at the tall bookshelf I couldn't breathe and I choked. I got it and was supremely gloating about this beautiful, perfect book that I've always thought was way beyond my means to get.

I love, love, love Pride and Prejudice. I adore to the fullest extent both the charming, clever Elizabeth Bennet and the most dashing and desirable Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy.

My Shelfari/Bookmooch wishlist consisted of:
* An Assembly Such as This (borrowed from a friend)
* Duty and Desire
* These Three Remain
* The Darcys & the Bingleys
* Mr. Darcy's Daughters : A Novel
* The Darcy Connection: A Novel
* The Second Mrs. Darcy: A Novel
* The Confessions of Fitzwilliam Darcy
* Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife
* Mrs. Darcys Dilemma
* Two Shall Become One: Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy

and now I can strike another book off with flourish! :D

* The Confessions of Fitzwilliam Darcy

I'm so excited to read my new, lucky find but I guess I have to wait?! I have a long list on my TBR pile. And I'm currently reading An Assembly Such As This! It would've been such a great next read. Boo, I have to go through at least 20 books just to read The Confessions.

Schoolgirl by Osamu Dazai: Melancholic Contemplation

Arriving all the way from USA, I had a tiny traveler plop down right in front of my desk. The moment I held the book, I immediately focused long and hard on the book cover. I've had my small share of contemporary Japanese novels and each had very interesting designs, but not one is as gently arresting as this Schoolgirl by Osamu Dazai published by One Peace Books . Soft yet stark. I'm not one to judge a book by its cover, but it certainly is a good way to hold the interest of the readers. A closer look at the cover would remind one of things that are "beautiful in its simplicity". Everybody knows the Japanese aesthetics, a "set of ancient ideals that include wabi (transient and stark beauty), sabi (the beauty of natural patina and aging), and yûgen (profound grace and subtlety). * " Reflecting at these values, it's wonderful to observe how the cover follows the flow of wabi and yugen, isn't it? But a book should offer more than...

VOV Castledew Eyeshadow Palette

I've always wanted an eyeshadow palette though I'm not sure if eyeshadows are my thing. I just love Castledew because it's so princessy and shiny and jewel-like and perfect. A Castle dew eyeshadow palette in all its shiny pretty glory! This is available in the La Core stall (korean beauty shop). Every time I passed by their stall, I always ask to view the palette and I always jump up and down in delight when I see it. Now I have it! MUAHAHAHA! I'll try to play around with the colors! See you!

Books in the Mail: HarperCollins Stash for August-September

I've just about settled here in Manila, yet my address is giving me a headache. I've only been used to a residential address, not a condominium unit number so I'm always worried about lost mail. I didn't think that my Harper Collins books would find its way to me. Until one fine morning: I was absolutely crazy happy. I have very little faith in Manila postal offices due to horrendous reports of misdirected mail, opening of packages, and even high taxation of mailed goods which is so ridiculous #thirdworldproblems and all that. I received two packages from Harper Collins on the same week, so you can just imagine me jumping for joy. Here are the books I received from several months' worth: I am an avid fan of Harper Collins, even before they noticed me and my blog. They are one of the publishing houses that I love because their editors and agents are AMAZING! They source out new authors and get them published, and those are testament to their great ...
