Charlie Bone and the Time Twister



The second book (again thanks to my friend for lending me the book) :D

After last semester in Bloor's Academy, saving Emma Tolly, this semester Charlie and his friends gone through more life threatening adventure.
This time Charlie need to save his 11 years old great grand uncle who came to the present using a time twister.

This second book is better then the first one. Well done to Jenny Nimmo.

Very recommended :)

Midnight for Charlie Brown


Borrowed the book from a friend.... Thanks Lika, it's a nice book :-)*
Wonder if the English one could be a lot more interesting than the translated one (0.o)

The whole strory is nice, as expected. Full of adventure, slow motion to the climax, no surprise up to the climax. The ending of Charlie Bone in this book really satisfiying.

If you are familiar with Harry Potter, this would be an alternative.

As you might guess, Charlie Bone is just an average 10 years old boy, suddenly got a supernatural ability (just call him 'gifted'). His ability is to hear voices in pictures (as if we are watching a movie). And because of one picture of a man with his baby girl, Charlie's life changed. He felt like he needed to help the man and his girl in the picture. And because of that, Charlie and his friends, were facing dangerous adventure, against conspiracy of his own family. Plus he was sent to the Bloor's academy, where 9 other gifted boys and girls all stay together.   

Great adventure, the ending made me wonder of the next book gonna be (^_^) 

Happy Reading.

Dogger the Dog

Tomorrow is my friend's birthday, Nancy.
Here is Nancy and me :)


This year, I decided to give her a birthday present, hand made by me :)
I bought some yarns
And of course Dacron for filling

Working with the pattern for 3 days, and ... voila, the result

Look cute eh :D
Got the pattern from a crochet book by Arie Alhabsyi.

Why Dogger the Dog, because Nancy is a dog lover and she was born in the year of dog (according to the Chinese calendar).

Hope you like it Dear ... XO
