I'm a full-time mummy

As a busy mum with 4 kiddos between 1.5year-old to 9-years old, I have started cutting down on doing product reviews to focus on our coming 5th kiddo (due Oct 2018), childcare and family life, home cooking, education, helping with hubby's administration site of the business and sharing informational articles on my FB fan page so I am only accepting and prioritizing products that can fit into our family dynamics (especially books on parenting or educational stuff, family products, something along those genre)! Reading is my passion and coupled with books that are of parenting, children, family or religion or educational genre, all the more I gotta say yes!

Title: Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2019
Publisher: Guinness World Records (September 6, 2018)
ISBN: 9781912286478
Pages: 216

Description from the product page:

"From the global authority on record-breaking comes the 12th edition of the world’s best-selling gaming annual. Introduced by Minecraft superstar Stampy Cat and packed with the latest, greatest records from all your favourite games – including Fortnite, Super Mario Odyssey, Monster Hunter: World and FIFA – Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition 2019 is required reading for every gamer. Just ask the five-and-a-half million readers who’ve made it a sensation worldwide!" 

We received the "Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2019" book which I had intended for our almost 10-year-old boy to use as he is into computer gaming nowadays and it would be nice for him to be able to read up more on other games. There are tons and tons of games being featured, from old vintage consoles and games right up to the latest game trend nowadays.

If your kiddo is into Minecraft (like mine!), there are some pages featuring Minecraft reader challenges. In this book, there are 4 specially designed Minecraft records created just for the launch of this book. Your kiddo can choose any (or all!) and make his/her attempt to challenge that on either PS4, Xbox One, Switch or PC.

Overall, this is a fun and educational book to own especially if your child (or even yourself) likes to read and find out more about the odd and interesting things happening in the gaming world!

The book is available at all major bookstores in Malaysia.

Title: Guinness World Records 2019
Publisher: Guinness World Records Limited (September 6, 2018)
ISBN: 978-1912286461             Pages: 256

Description from the product page:

"From planets and human marvels to videogaming and Instagram, Guinness World Records 2019 is packed with thousands of new and updated records. In this edition, we celebrate the “Maker” movement with a feature dedicated to those who design and build super-sized items, such as the largest yoyo, the tallest toothpick sculpture and the fastest jet-powered go-kart! Plus, we explain the workings of record-breaking structures such as the Statue of Liberty and the Apollo missions’ Saturn V rocket by recreating them in LEGO™." 

We received the "Guinness World Records 2019" book which I had intended for our older 3 kiddos age ranging from almost 5 to 10 years old to use for their knowledge learning and English reading materials. I like that the book is categorised into their respective sections - making it easier for me to quickly jump into certain category for quick reading.

Certain topics like 'Continents' is quite practical and relatable to our kiddos since they do learn about the continents in the world. It is always great to find out more interesting facts on top of what they have learned before.

There are also some pages towards the end of the book where you can try out at home. If you are keen to take up the challenge, you can get the instruction and guideline from http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/products/books/guinness-world-records-2019/tryathome

Overall, this is a fun and educational book to own especially if your child (or even yourself) likes to read and find out more about the odd and interesting things happening all around the world!

The book is available at all major bookstores in Malaysia.

FYI, there is a promotion going on where you will receive a FREE mist-spray water bottle when you purchase a copy of the Guinness World Records 2019 book. (Of course, while stock lasts okay!) Btw, the promo is available for both TTB and MPH Malaysia.

There is also 20% discount if you are a Popular bookstore member - do note that this promo is valid from 1st Oct to 31st Dec 2018.

I have been cutting down on doing product reviews towards the last quarter of year 2016 to prepare for our coming 4th kiddo who was born in early November 2016 and I am currently only prioritizing reviewing products that can fit into our family dynamics (especially books on parenting or homeschooling stuff, family products, something along those genre)

However, as busy as I am with 4 kiddos, home cooking, taking care of hubby's administration site of the business and swamped up with managing my FB page and blog, I just can't say no to reviewing good books! Reading is my passion and coupled with books that are of parenting, children, family or religion or educational genre, all the more I gotta say yes!
