I've
always love to sit by my window and read a book while sipping my mug of
hot chocolate. Sometimes when it rains, I will prepare some pastel
coloured marshmallows as an extra treat! That's what I call enjoyment.
:) Just the thought of it excites me and gave me a purpose in my daily
life: to finish my work and hurry home for my relaxing time. I can spend
hours and hours reading. I will always sit with a straight and polite
posture at first but who cares? I will end up curling to one side of my
bench and cuddle tightly with my Laura Ashley pillow. Geez... I really
need to change that habit. My mother always scold me for that.
Anyway, I came across this book one day. It's called "Cleopatra's Daughter", by Michelle Moran
I
loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it! Michelle has such a way of writing that you'll
really feel for the characters in it. I cried twice reading that novel
and fell in love a thousand times with Juba and Selene! The story
revolved around Juba and Selene. How they met and how life pulls them
together as one. In this novel, I witnessed an undying and pure love of
two historical characters - Juba and Cleopatra Selene.Now, Juba is
listed as my top idol. He is definitely topping the chart of my "most
influential novel men". Haha... I know it's weird that I even create a
chart like this. But the fact is, I have many charts in my life : "most
influential novel women", "most beautiful person I've met that made my
heart skip beat", "most unforgettable moments", " most loveable
places"...... The list just goes on and on! I live in this mentally
created world of my own. I honestly do not think that I can live without
this fantasy of mine. It's like an escape designed especially for me
when I face my most important lesson-life! Fine, I'm tired of writing. I
would like to praise Michelle again for her imaginative and creative
writing that made my day! Thank you so much, Michelle!
Lots of love,
the fallen leaf.
