I was able to pick up on my book reading over the long break last December, and there were 2 books that I was able to see through its ending, and one that I simply could not process anymore and decided to retire in our "book box". The 2 books that I finished till the end were Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat and Obsession by Julie Powell and The Lost Symbol by Dan ... READ MORE
One Day by David Nicholls
I've just finished this book and I totally love it - the story, the writing style of David Nicholls, the characters. Just everything about this book is brilliant! Now, I am not really a fan of books-turned-into-a-movie (except for the Harry Potter books) but when I learned that Anne Hathaway got the role of Emma Morley, I know I just have to watch the book's film ...

Books for Sale
I know this post is kinda off, but just to let you know, I sell my old books at eBay to be able to buy new titles hehe. I love books but we don't a library in which to store all of them in.

Starting on our book collection
AJ and I love to read books. It is our common denominator. His interests and mine were not exactly the same but we somehow influenced each other with each other's preferences. I remember when we were still in the getting-to-know you stage he gifted me with the book "See No Evil: The True Story of a Ground Soldier in the CIA's War on Terrorism" by Robert Baer. This was ...

A book about a storm…
It's been raining hard since last Saturday, no thanks to typhoon "Egay" which dumped rains in the Metro until yesterday afternoon. And just when I thought the weather will clear up today because the storm is supposed to have left the country, another episode of strong winds and afternoon showers greeted me on our way home. So I think I will sleep half-soundly tonight if ... READ MORE
