Books and Me. A world all my own.
Don’t you just feel sad when you are done reading a book? I do. I remember a series I was so excited to read. It’s the Left Behind Series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. It was composed of 12 books (which later on I learned was actually 16 books because there were four [...]
Train Man by Hitori Nakano was one of the books that I coveted when it was released a couple of years ago. If you are a bookworm like me, chances are you’ve heard about this Japanese comic novel about a boy’s struggle to make the girl of his dreams fall in love with him. It [...]
I keep finding good books. And now I am finding it hard to prioritize which ones I will read first. What a dilemma! Hehehe I created a Good Reads account. I will complete it this coming weekend. I will post books that I have read as well as books that I am about to read [...]
I regularly buy Reader’s Digest. Whereas before I buy three different local magazines, I realized that Reader’s Digest (RD) has the same amount of information as the three mags combined. Now, I get to save up in buying just one. I love the information contained in each RD issue. You get to learn so many [...]
A couple of years ago, when I became aware of the Oprah bookclub selections, I had this dream of reading ALL the books she has chosen. Yes, starting from book one to the present selection. I am a big fan of Oprah and a bigger fan of books. I am mostly focused on fiction reads [...]
The Godfather by Mario Puzo is a very memorable book to me. I remember staring at it most of that summer when I was in my teens. I lived at my grandma’s house that summer and my cousins who lived nearby was having their house renovated. They moved all their books to my grand-aunt’s room [...]
When I was a kid, we didn’t have much. We were content with what we had and never asked for much from our parents. That’s because we knew that our budget was just enough for the basic needs of the family. One of the things I always dream about back then was to own a [...]
I am in my reading mode once again. Whenever I read a book that’s really good, I get down from the high I was in and won’t go look for another book for a few days, sometimes weeks. But this time around, I feel like reading books after books after books. Good thing I still [...]
I just love going to book fairs. I must admit that I can lose myself in a bookstore or any place that has shelves full of books for hours. Literally standing on the same spot for an hour or so. I swear I’ve been doing this for years! No one in the family can understand [...]
I am back on my reading mode! Yay! I have finished two books already. I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows again. This book actually did the trick. It unlocked my frozen bookworm-y juices and made me want to read more. I also finished reading Dead in Dallas, Book 2 of The Southern Vampire [...]
This weekend will be reading time for me. I haven’t finished any book in weeks and I am bent on completing one from my pile. Reading has always been the one activity that gives me so much pleasure. I can just laze around, get the current book I’m reading, and just read and read and [...]
Did you know that once upon a time, I deluded myself into believing I will and can read all books from the Oprah’s Book Club Selection? Oh yes I did! I printed a copy. I have every intention of reading the first book on the list. And then slowly going through it, ticking off the [...]
