The Bookworm Confessions

If there is something I am truly sure of, it’s that education is very important! Those who are born with extreme talents and gifts, or born to rich families, may say that education is not that important and it can be true to a point. There are really people out there born smart.

But think about this… you are gifted and you decided to use it to your advantage. How can you be sure you are not being fooled by the people you are dealing with if you are not educated enough to know? Or you might be rich but you don’t know how to run a business because you didn’t learn how to. What now?

Education is important. Sit behind those school tables now and study hard! You will reap the benefits later in life. Trust me.

I read about this book Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren somewhere. Just like the Fifty Shades series of E.L. James, this book also came from a fan fiction site. I enjoyed the latter series and I am thinking I might enjoy this one, too. Especially after I’ve seen the blurb from Goodreads…

An ambitious intern.
A perfectionist executive.
And a whole lot of name calling.

Whip-smart, hardworking, and on her way to an MBA, Chloe Mills has only one problem: her boss, Bennett Ryan. He’s exacting, blunt, inconsiderate—and completely irresistible. A Beautiful Bastard.

Bennett has returned to Chicago from France to take a vital role in his family’s massive media business. He never expected that the assistant who’d been helping him from abroad was the gorgeous, innocently provocative—completely infuriating—creature he now has to see every day. Despite the rumors, he’s never been one for a workplace hookup. But Chloe’s so tempting he’s willing to bend the rules—or outright smash them—if it means he can have her. All over the office.

As their appetites for one another increase to a breaking point, Bennett and Chloe must decide exactly what they’re willing to lose in order to win each other.

What do you think? Think it’ll be a good read?

I am not too sure about the good part but what I am sure of is it will be an entertaining one!

That’s one thing that my uncle is looking into, you know. He wants to use Vinyl Banner Printing to be able to attract potential customers. He still cannot do some major renovations to his store but he can shell out some for outdoor advertising for his shop.

He’s been in the convenience store business for years now. If I am not mistaken, my uncle’s had the store for more than a decade now. It’s the same old store that people in the neighborhood frequent for their food supplies and other stuff. But since brand new convenience shops opened within the area, too, my uncle thought it’s about time he does something to attract potential new customers and to bring back the old ones, too.

I am going to help the old guy do it!

Have I already mentioned here that I now have a Kindle Paper White? And I am loving it more and more each day!

I already read a number of books through my Kindle. I still buy printed books because you can’t replace that smell of paper and the feel of a good book in your hands, but as much as possible I go for the electronic version of a book these days. Aside from the fact that it will save me from a trip to the bookstore, it will also be one less book I can’t find a space for inside the house.

He-he!

She first got a columbia parka here and then she went off to get the books she wanted to buy regardless of the warning from the weather bureau for people in the city not to go out as much as possible due to the impending super typhoon.

She really is too much of a bookworm to let a typhoon stop her from buying books. Her family and friends were shaking their heads when she posted a photo of her in a social networking site out in the streets in front of the still open bookstore.

She is just too much of a bookworm!

I am currently reading Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire. It’s the book containing Travis Maddox‘s POV of the Beautiful Disaster.

My sister is complaining that I am too slow in reading it. Well, normally I would have devoured the book by now. It took me less than 24 hours to read Beautiful Disaster. I could read Walking Disaster faster because I’ve been really excited to read it. But I don’t think I can let go of Travis and Abby’s story just like that.

That is the reason why I am taking my time reading the book.

Ha!
