I was closing to my 'Destroyer' mode because my book was not here yesterday. So contacted Kino and ta-da! The book arrived before I got home, hurrah!!!

What did I do afterwards?

Took a picture

Covered the book with a plastic wrap (heck, it's more expensive than my Harry Potter), cooked and ate lunch, since I do plan on finishing it in one sitting and there I go, lost in the world of Acheron.

After hours, I have to admit my eyes are tired - and the book totally worth it!!!!

Though the first part was a bit hard to read - I mean come on, it's all about his torturous life filled with abuse before he was killed. But then I so love the part when his mother, Apollymi the Destroyer released her wrath and totally obliterate the Atlantean Pantheon. The best part was to read the present day story. Who would have thought the great Acheron would blush and stumble his way once in a while? Totally endearing.

With the gathering of characters from previous series - Julian, Kyrian, Sunshine, Talon, Zarek, Wulf, Urian, Wren, Vane, Sin and Katra, it only gets better.

I need to sleep.
And wake up early tomorrow to pack my bag.

If only I could just wink my way and have it done in a blink of an eye - wishful thinking laaa. Stuck too long in the Dark-Hunter world

It's gonna be a holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tick.... Tock..... Tick..... Tock....

Anticipation sucks.

I hate the wait.

I'm talking about my order of 'Acheron'.

It was on sale in the US since August 5th.

Last week on Monday, I was checking the inventory at Kinokuniya's Bookweb for the arrival of the book. Surprise surprise, the book was in stock but was not on the shelf - yet. I just went ahead with my order, drove the merchandising department wild (sorry,to the Kino team, but you guys rocks! hehe) and sadly the book was for someone who special ordered earlier. I was just a heartbeat away from canceling my order when I saw the ebook was up for sale on Mobipocket. How can I not when the reviews were raving mad? I mean dang! 71 out of 109 readers gave 5 stars out of 5 on Amazon and 38 out of 38 gave 5/5 on Barnes & Nobles, Graaaahh!!!! I feel so very Simi-like right now.

Then again, nothing beats holding a first edition hardcover book that you've waited for years to be published - Not that I'm holding on to it now, so I waited since they said the estimated time the book might reach Kino KL is between 18th and 22nd August. That LONG?!! *sighs

Suddenly, on Sunday when I was at my distant aunt's wedding one of the Kino merchandising team members called me and said - THE BOOK WAS HERE!!!! The Kinokuniya KL Store I mean and will be couriered up on Monday, which was YESTERDAY!!!

Now I have to wait for the despatch to send me my 'Acheron'.

The Year of Akri

It's like waiting for the final Harry Potter book to arrive on shelf. Only that I have to rate the book PG. If you wonder what I am talking about, well it's about the much awaited book in the Dark-Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon. The books are in the paranormal romance genre - you know, vampires, shapeshifters, characters in Greek and Roman mythology as well as the Celtic. I've read all the stories in the series and owned some so of course I'm waiting for the upcoming 'Acheron' with bated breath.

Well, him, also known as Ash, being the head honcho of the Dark-Hunters - always there but he haven't had his own story yet - until this coming August that is. The trailer for the book was released last Sunday - although some part f the trailer I like and some that I don't, I really like to know what will become to Acheron and - although I don't like her very much - the-heifer-goddess-as-dubbed-by-Simi-the-Charonte Artemis.



I'm definitely going to have to search for it in August at all major bookstore - though I'm very sure the probability of finding it in JB is thin, but heck, hoping is okay.
