Have you ever just finished reading a really great book and wished that you could broadcast the recommendation to everyone you know and even to perfect strangers?! Good reads do that to you- stir your hearts, find your inner voice, hold your breath in anticipation and basically makes you pump your fist and say "That was a shiok (Singapore slang for great) read!"

Well, this is a platform for us to share these great experiences with one another! All too often, we read a superb book and do not have the chance to pen down our thoughts and to recommend it to someone else. Do that now, by dropping us an email at bookpicks4all@gmail.com so that we can post it on this blog.

Do, however, bear in mind that kids as well as adults read this blog, so do be discerning in your recommendation, choosing only wholesome and noteworthy reads. Much thanks to all and happy reviewing!

The Joy of Reading



So happy to see Sarah reading a Chinese book by herself! She is 10 years old and usually, she will shy away from reading Chinese books. Hopefully, this series will capture her interest and motivate her to read more!

There were some words (many, in fact) that she didn't know the meaning of but at least she was not deterred and managed to finish the book by herself. I remember when i was young and reading Chinese comics, I recognised only about 70% of the words but that did not diminish my enjoyment of them! Oh, those mangas! I have yet to introduce comics to my girls, in case they get addicted like I was! Hahaha....
