Cat and Mouse by James Patterson RRP: RM69.90 Price: RM19.90
Alex Cross battles not one, but two vicious killers intent on seeing him lose their high stakes game–one that Alex never agreed to play. Villian Gary Soneji is back. He vows his last act on earth will be taking the life of Alex Cross. But first he wants to have some fun. With time running out, Cross must predict Soneji’s next move: the lives of thousands of innocent commuters hang in the balance. Meanwhile, a second game of cat and mouse is being played. Thomas Augustine Pierce is referred to by the FBI and Interpol as “St. Augustine” for his uncanny ability to catch killers. He has been chasing his demon, Mr. Smith, since his fiancee was brutally murdered, her heart cut out. Panic spreads through Europe when Mr. Smith strikes in London… then Paris… But when the Soneji case takes a baffling new twist, Pierce must put the Mr. Smith case on hold to assist in a special investigation. Will Cross-or Pierce-figure out in time who is the cat, and who is the mouse?

Jesus by Deepak Chopra RRP : RM 104.90 Price : RM 24.90
The narrative focuses on the mysterious span of time in Christ’s life between the ages of 12 and 30. Chopra portrays the young adult Jesus as a malleable figure at the center of a host of pivotal political, cultural and religious shifts. The threads of his spiritual leadership become evident during these formative years, but Christ must devote himself to growing in enlightenment about the full nature of his identity and message. Chopra’s narration may not always maintain a natural flow of dialogue among characters, but the ethereal power of his voice and the evocative manner in which he sets the stage remain effective. Perhaps the most compelling elements of the story line involve Judas and Mary Magdalene, two of New Testament history’s most complicated and controversial figures.

Mismatch by Tami Hoag (Author) Jen Taylor (Narrator) RRP : RM 69.90 Price : RM 19.90
A Classic Romance– Bronwynn Prescott Pierson had certainly made a mess of things! She’d left a disloyal groom at the altar, driven to Vermont, and now stood, near-tears, on the steps of a ramshackle Victorian house in her satin wedding gown. When a gorgeous, all-American hunk emerged from the woods, she didn’t know whether to chase him away with a stick or run into his arms! The breathtaking redhead with the lost-fawn look in her eyes seized Wade Grayson’s heart in a flash and convinced him she needed a keeper, but Bronwynn vowed she was swearing off men for at least a year–and besides, a stuffed-shirt politician with no sense of adventure was definitely not for her! Wade figured her for a frivolous heiress, yet he found the temptress with the legs of a goddess utterly enchanting. She stole his cigarettes, dared him to climb trees, and freed his spirit to fall in love. But could they find a place to bridge their worlds and cherish each other for always?
Tales From The Perilous Realm by J. R. R. Tolkien RRP : RM 89.90 Price : RM 19.90
For the first time in A-format, the definitive collection of Tolkien’s four acclaimed modern classic ‘fairie’ tales in the vein of The Hobbit. Farmer Giles of Ham is fat and unheroic, but — having unwittingly managed to scare off a short-sighted giant — is called upon to do battle when the dragon Chrysophylax comes to town; The Adventures of Tom Bombadil tells by way of verse of Tom’s many adventures with hobbits, princesses, dwarves and trolls; Leaf by Niggle recounts the strange adventures of the painter Niggle who sets out to paint the perfect tree; Smith of Wootton Major journeys to the Land of Faery thanks to the magical ingredients of the Great Cake of the Feast of Good Children. The four tales are written with the same skill, quality and hallmarks that made Tolkien’s Hobbit a classic. Largely overlooked because of their short lengths, they are finally together in a volume which reaffirms Tolkien’s place as a master storyteller for readers young and old.

Ideas for Christmas: Audio Books
Thursday, December 10, 2009Last week, we featured some audio books we have at BookXcess currently. Now, more audio books came in from our latest shipment!
Audio books make excellent Christmas gifts for the reader or non-reader. With the right audio book, a reader would be excited to hear the book being read out loud while a non-reader would appreciate being able to ‘read’ without actually reading! If you have not ‘read’ an audio book before, this would be a good time to try. This time we have a wider selection of audio books to help you read more for less! (If you think about it, our slogan Read More For Less takes on a new meaning when it is associated with audio books!)
Aural Reading
Wednesday, December 2, 2009
If you know friends who are not really into reading, or their eyes get easily tired from reading the small print of most books, how about introducing them to aural reading, or audio books? These could make great companions during traffic jams! Or just something to listen to before bedtime.
Check out some of the audio books currently available at BookXcess. Read more
