Dylan is aspiring to become a varsity basketball player this coming school year. He is an incoming freshman in college and varsity basketball is in his list of MUST DO in college life. He played in high school so he is confident that his basketball skills and his reebok pump omni lite will get him in.
Dylan’s aspiration reminds me of a teen book I read where the lead guy took steps for him to get into the varsity team and eventually become its star player. And the apple of the eye of almost every female in school!
And that will be lots of bookshelves!
My ideal guy would be someone who reads just like me. But if there’s none out there like that for me, I will settle for one who understands my need for bookshelves and funds allotted for new books every week.
Hahaha!
Happy Sunday everyone! May we all find our reading partners for life!
One of my best friends is asking me what gift I want for last Christmas. She said I am the only one left she hasn’t given a gift to. My quick reply to her is get me an ereader store and I will be happy! I think it’s already given that anything book-related is a cause of happiness for me.
She said that I should read all my unread books first before I ask for a new one. But I can’t wait for that to happen. Some books are off the shelves fast because of the popularity and before new stocks get to the bookstores, it takes weeks. Sometimes there aren’t stocks coming in anymore and I can’t let that happen, you know.
So a new book it will be! Can’t wait!
There are two motives for reading a book; one, that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it [on social networking sites and Goodreads!]. — Bertrand Russell
Happy Tuesday everyone! Enjoy reading!
I’ve decided to keep using the template I have for a few more weeks. Possibly until the end of January. I actually like the Christmas-y feel of the template and I enjoy seeing the snowman in the header
Now, by February, I think I will use a Valentine theme. Or get a new template possibly. I am not feeling the old template anymore so that won’t be making an appearance in the near future.
What do you think?
2011 has ended. I didn’t get to read too many books the past year but I’ve read some pretty good ones, I must say. 2012 has a lot of promise in store so I am keeping my fingers crossed and actually planning for more books this new year!
Happy New Year everyone!!!
Stay safe and keep warm wherever you are!
The title says it all. All those book reviews I promised that I wasn’t able to post will be posted in the coming days. Sorry for the delay. I don’t write reviews when I don’t feel like it to avoid being biased and all. But I realized that the reviews are piling up so I went to Goodreads and marked the books I have to review for you.
So expect more to pop up in this blog in the next couple of days.
Merry Christmas everyone!
My friend’s daughter’s goal for 2012 is to go for gold! Take home more trophies than the ones she brought home this year. She is an athlete competing in triathlon events nationwide. She is quite good and it’s sad that she had to suffer from an injury in the middle of this year which sidelined her for a while. But now that she’s back in 100% shape, she plans to train more and learn more on how to be more careful with her legs but at the same time still maximizing her potential.
I told my friend to not worry about her kid unnecessarily. She can take care of herself and she has proven it time and again. Plus she has a wonderful coach who really supports not only her but all the athletes coming from their school.
Wishing her all the best!
