My sister was telling me last week that I have too many books already and that I ought to read it all first before I go buy another one. I told her that for a bookworm like me, there is no such thing as too many books! I don’t and won’t stop buying books I want to read just because my to-be-read pile has gone through the roof already. That’s not how things work for me.

So I got myself 2 new books last week. It’s for all the hard work I’ve done the past couple of months. That’s always my excuse for buying more books! Hahaha!

Happy Monday everyone! Have a good week!

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!

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!

The truth is that for us bookworms/bibliophiles, the best kind of conversations are those centered around our favorite fictional characters. We talk about them like they are real people. Actually, some of us really believe they are real, only living in a different dimension hehe

There were so many books my friends, sisters and I have read in the past that evoked so much emotions in us we felt like we lost a love one when we were done reading it. I cried over so many characters I’ve ‘lost’ while reading a really good novel. I’ve felt every kind of emotion for the characters I’ve grown to love.

Ah, the realities of a bibliophile like me!

One of the things that you will see inside my bag when I go out of the house is a book. Currently I am reading The Last Little Blue Envelope by Maureen Johnson. I took the book with me when I went to HongKong last week. I knew that there would be instances when we would wait somewhere and instead of being annoyed with the waste of minutes, I thought I’d bring a book with me so as to make the waiting time useful.

And so I did.

While waiting for the airport shuttle to arrive, I managed to read a few pages of the book. But since I miss my friend from Chicago a lot, I was able to read again only inside the hotel room before going to sleep.

A book is a really good travel companion. Do you bring one with you when you travel?

Tabitha Suzuma should get off Facebook and get a life!

I really don’t want to write this because Tabitha is a favorite author of mine. I’ve read Forbidden and I just knew that she’s one author who can totally capture the mind and heart of the reader. That is the main reason why I became a follower in Facebook and Twitter. I wanted to get to know the author more and I am awaiting a new book from her.

But these past two to three weeks she had nothing better to say but that she’s depressed or she’s about to pass out from lack of sleep or that she’s in the hospital because of pneumonia (and all because she abused herself by being on Facebook too much I believe!) and all the attention seeking updates she’s posted. I just wanted to tell her that all she has to do is to get off Facebook, sleep for at least 8 hours, talk to ‘real’ people and not virtual ones only, and just basically get a life! If she does that I am sure she won’t be ranting about getting depressed every three minutes or so.

Yes, you read it right! I am back to reading historical romance novels again. I think it’s the hopeless romantic in me. I do think that I will always go back to reading romance novels no matter how hooked I am on A Game of Thrones and so many Young Adult novels I have and looking forward to.

I am currently reading The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever by Julia Quinn. It brought back the hopeless romantic in me! The lead character is an ugly duckling of sorts and she fell in love with her best friend’s older brother. It’s so kilig that I am thinking I will be reading this again, when I feel the need for some romance in my life.

I remember being so hooked on romance novels in high school and college. I have so many of that kind of books and most are now worn out due to the number of times I’ve read it.

Ahh love!
