Due to an ongoing dispute with the Tooth Fairy, I don't wear lipstick. But if I did wear lipstick, this is what I would have loved to look like:

1. Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
2. Putting makeup on dead people by Jen Violi
3. Friend-zoned by Belle Aurora
4. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (what a beautiful cover. Makes me want to read this book for once and for all)
5. Oorlewingsgids vir 'n bedonnerde Diva by Sophia Kapp This is an Afrikaans book and the title is also in Afrikaans. Roughly translated: "Survival guide to a very very very very very very angry Diva"


So what is your favourite shade of lipstick? Please include cosmetic house and product code. Or just send me your favourite lipstick covers. A good sales-lady will be able to assist, don't you think?

    I love the Memoirs Of A Geisha cover, although that Jane Eyre version is beautiful as well. And you're not the only one that doesn't wear lipstick; I always feel like a kid stealing makeup from their mother whenever I try to use it (it just doesn't suit me I guess).

      I always pick my 'favourite' as the first book I thought of when I see the challenge. And that was Memoirs of a Geisha. BUT actually my favourite is the Jane Eyre cover. So beautiful. LOL- love your comment on the lipstick!!! Thanks for visiting and I hope you had a lovely week so far.

    Friend- Zoned might be my favorite- I'm not sure why I like the shiny gloss cause in RL I'm not sure I would, but on the cover I just do. Memoirs of a Geisha is nice too, and i kinda like the 2nd one and Jane Eyre too. Nice picks!

      Hi Greg! Thanks, those glossy lips on Friend-Zoned is gorgeous, but my husband will also have a heart attack if I try that... As soon as I'm finished with my League of Extraordinary men challenge, I'll read Jane Eyre. Hope you are having a great day!

Audio book: May 20 - May 26, 2016 Librivox recording - recorded by John Nicholson (I still vote for Sean Connery to do this reading) You know what I love about book reviewing and blogging the most? It gives you the freedom to google your favourite books and characters for hours and hours and if someone asks what you are doing you can quite honestly say: RESEARCH. (You might even glare at them over the rim of your glasses. For effect you know. Also make sure to have a pencil at hand. Again - for effect) Afterwards, you might sound extremely clever and give lots and lots of useless information to anyone who would be interested in listening. (I strongly suggest that you keep your glasses down on your nose and have that pencil either in your hand or stuck in your hair).

Paperback read between 4 and 10 May 2016 I have a confession - I don't read enough South African fiction.  After reading this novel, I realized that I can't call myself "proudly South African" AT ALL. I love my country, but I am not always proud of my country. But I will never be a Peter and say "I do not know you". I would rather be like a real prim and proper Afrikaans "poppie" and just keep quite and sit in the corner. And then someone like Tannie Maria comes along and she reminds you of a couple of things:  I love being Afrikaans I love the Klein Karoo I love koeksisters, bobotie, melktert, vetkoek and karringmelk beskuit I love vetplantjies I love the smell of the first rain on the warm dry earth I love SPAR (although I might check out the managers with an eagle eye hence forth) I love being white, but have a black friend that I can honestly call one of my 5 best friends ever.  I love reading a South African murder m...
