The pain stopped then.
"Liosliath!"he cried, flinging out his hands.
"Liosliath! Liosliath!I have come as far as i can.
Come to me now--the rest is yours!"

Books are relatively an important part of my life.I read mainly romance and
fantasy books.Romances are mostly historical and fantasies deal mainly with
magics,wizards,witches..you get the idea^_^
Romance
Well, as long as its historical with a happy ending i would
not mind. I have read most of the books if not all from Johanna Lindsey,
Judith Macnaught, hmmmm and lots more. Well, for Johanna and Judith's books,
not only it's funny, the plot is interesting too.Okay so the general thing
is guy meets gal,somewhere on the way they fall in love, then they gets
married somewhere.But the inbetween storyline is the one that really interests
me.
Fantasy
I read as many if not more fantasy books as romances. First
book or author as far as i remember that really captures me should be Terry
Pratchet if not its definitely David Eddings.For the former author, i have
read all the books that i can find from him,from Johnny and the dead,the
Diskworld series(how can anyone don't like it?) to Good omens. For David
Eddings,I have read all his books that i can find except High Hunt. I think
it sort of don't belong to what i normally read.Both of their books i have
reread many times and i read them still.Though for David Eddings, i prefer
reading the whole series at the same time--but its hard to borrow the whole
thing from the library. The free Bards--which consists of 3 stories are
my favourite from M.Lackey. Raymond.E.Feist is another one that write interesting
books. Jane Yolen's sister white sister dark is nice too. Hmmmm whoelse?
Patricia C.Wrede is not bad.Recently read the series of point fantasy of
the Enchanted Forest
Dealing with Dragons
Searching for Dragons
Calling on Dragons
Talking to Dragons
Although you might find it in the Youth Section,but if you read
it all in a row--haha i won't borrow anything that is supposed to be in
series yet i can't find all the books--you will find that the story starts
really like for a younger audience and it seems the audience age grows
with the series and when you finished reading,you realised hmmmm maybe
its not just for youth. Also i look out for books of fantasy stories for
a whole collection of fantasy stories from different authors to help me
to search for new authors to look out for. Nope my fantasy books don't
includes horror though horrors seems to be included in one such collection
of stories that i once borrowed. Besides the more popular authors in Singapore
that i know and said, do look out for C.J Cherryh's The Dreaming tree--consist
of 2 stories that is of course related. If you like elf and such, don't
miss this book. It kept me up till morning so that i finished it--which
book don't anyway --but it however helps to read slowly and retrace a bit
for better understanding, not really a happy ending but happy enough for
me.Ah what can i do, i had fallen in love with a character that doesn't
really appear much--Liosliath the ah somehow dead yet revived elf Why?I
don't know hahaha.
Terry pratchet--only for those who are not too wicked or dramatic at
heart---you know who you are!
All of them are my preferences,I have not read all the books
there are, other authors can be/ maybe/are better whatever but i have not
read them. I might recommend their books later on and there is no order
of better or perferences.They are of course in random^_^ The stories,titles,passages,names
and whatever are copyright of their authors and whoever they belonged to.
