The joy of reading

Recently Xingmin and I have been borrowing a number of books from the library, and it's now our regular once-in-3-weeks date (of cos we do go on other dates in between!). So, what are we currently reading?

The River Cottage Meat Book by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
Xingmin first saw this book at Trix's when we visited last month. Loved the book so much that he's thinking of purchasing a copy off Amazon. Meanwhile, he's borrowed a copy and has been ploughing through this huge volume whenever he has some free moments. Could this be my very own personal chef in the making? :P~

Momzillas by Jill Kargman
Compared to the Meat Book, Momzillas seems like a super ditsy option! According to the author, momzillas are "the Kelly bag-toting, Chanel-wearing, Bugaboo-pushing mothers of New York". This book talks about how Hannah, the female protagonist has to take them on, on top of having to deal with the MIL from hell and the appearance of an old flame. But hey, after a frustrating and exhausting day at work, nothing beats reading an entertaining, non thought-provoking story about "survival of the fittest, richest, bitchiest..."
