I love the imageries here. The ending is explosive! It's the most unforgettable part in the book. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/28292-finding-time-to-write May made a comment in the Q&A with Jennifer Weiner group:

Hello again, Ms. Weiner!

Do you believe that having a pen and paper handy all the time helps too? or motivates you to really write as well? A poetry professor told us in class before that we have to make sure that we have a pen and paper beside our bed so that whenever an idea pops in our head, we can get to write it right away...

Hello Ms. Weiner!

I just love "Good In Bed!" I love the thought that it is a touching, fell-good story and it indeed made me feel better as a woman. That, for me, is the essence of chick/woman literature [whatever it is called, really...:)]

Looking forward to hearing more from you! Can't wait to read your other novels!!

Cheers! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17727875 to: My Secret: A PostSecret Book (Postsecret) by Frank Warren
After browsing the book a bit on the sale section of National Bookstore, I impulsively decided to own a copy of it. The problem then was I didn't bring enough cash with me and the worst part was, they don't allow debit! And since it was already closing time, my friend suggested to have the book reserved and the saleslady agreed to do so. On my lunch break the following day, I bought the book (not caring that it is worth a pair of shoes or an ok pair of jeans) and read the whole thing after my officemate did. I would have to say it is one of the best compilations I have ever come across in my entire life. It is inspiring. It made me more human. It made me realize that despite of the pain that I experienced--and is experiencing, I have never felt more human and that life is still beautiful.

I hope the other books would be available on this side of the world. I kinda felt bad that I bought it at a discounted rate, but hey, who doesn't love discounts? :D I believe that it is indeed worth the money either way because not only it celebrated humanity, but it also finds ways to help, like what it is currently doing on 1800SUICIDE. ]]>
