My mother loves reading and I think I picked up the hobby from her. She has a book shelves full ranging from romance to memoirs, but the only thing I read from the shelves was excorcist lol

[kirstin ✿]

I'm jealous right now :/ No one in my family understand my love for books, but I'm trying to persuade my little sister into it. And she's quite enjoying it.

Whenever people see me reading, they are awed and would ask me if I don't get bored. Oh my. They really don't have any idea what reading books is like.

[Megan]

ikr... I tell people that I read to escape from everyday reality and no one seems to ever understand.

[[deleted user]]

Megan - that is what I do too. Having the ability to pick up a book and escape to a new world is just...amazing.

I also tell people that I read when I'm stressed out and everyone is shocked that it works. All my friends drink to release their stress.

There is just something about reading that makes life so much better. And I feel bad for people who don't read because they are missing out on a lot.

[[deleted user]]

Haha, how can someone get bored by reading, when one gets the chance to imagine things? Aside from improving comprehension and vocabulary, it also allows the mind to work through imagination :) less candidate for alzheimer's? :D

[[deleted user]]

Labor day!! :) I have at least 4 more days before I resume writing again lol

[Megan]

Lindsay, I agree. so many of my friends are shocked that I read when I'm stressed. it's like reading for fun has become a foreign subject.

[[deleted user]]

Megan, it has! One of my friends in college picked up her first book for "fun" the day before The Hunger Games came out. It was her first book since high school, which was 5 years ago. They make fun of me because I always have either a book and my Nook on me. And when it's a movie from a book they always watch the movie and then say "the movie is way better then the book" even if they have not read it yet.

True! This site is nice because I could talk to other people regarding books.

[Beatrice]

I think I got the hobby of reading books from my dad, he loves mystery/crime books particularly John Grisham books (not really my type) and as well as from my aunts who love Sidney Sheldon & Nicholas Sparks books.

My mom though loves reading Reader's Digest only.

Haha thanks to GR! My mom used to read a lot when we were younger however now, she just have a lot to focus on e.g our business, her work, etc so she doesn't have time to read books (any type) anymore and when she does, she'll go to sleep because she's tired. But good thing my family supports my reading craze! :)

My mom subscribed to RD and I got a shitload of them LOL I love Reader's Digest especially the Word Quizzes and Laughter is the Best Medicine columns!

I've read one of his books, Master of the Game and it's so good. :) (my friend borrowed it, until now he didn't return it. I'm so pissed off because it was an old version.)

I agree with you on the Word Quizzes. Me & my dad used to answer it. My mom also likes Newsweek, it's a lot (include RD but lost some copies)

I think, I've read almost all his book. I only have one in my collection, the rest I borrowed from a friend's mom (Oh my! I'm sooo old haha)

His novels are a page-turner. It won't give you an idea how the story will end.

[kirstin ✿]

[Mishma]

National Book Store and Metro Manila Fullybooked Branches :)

[kirstin ✿]

Oh, I'd love to! But I can't.

[Brooke]

I know that buying a used book means that it is not in perfect condition but when most of the back is cut out it is not in good condition. I'm just really scared that one bad move will rip off the back cover. :(

Did you order a used book and that's what you got?

[Brooke]

Yes :( I didn't think it would be that bad.

[Greta]

On Amazon?

[Brooke]

It was sold through Amazon but not from Amazon.

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better soon. what did the doctor say?

P.S: I'm horribly clumsy too, I once ripped out telephone wires of my school's office!! ;)

[Greta]

I have to add my own clumsy tale. When I got married, I tripped and fell down three stairs at the reception hall. No alcohol involved. Luckily only two people were witnesses and I didn't tear my dress!

poor you! was your husband one of the witnesses? I bet he doesn't let you live this down!! ;)


Greta, I can't say how much I liked angelfall. I loved it and a big THANK YOU for recommending this. I just wish the second book was releasing today!!

[Greta]

Samia wrote: "Greta wrote: "I have to add my own clumsy tale. When I got married, I tripped and fell down three stairs at the reception hall. No alcohol involved. Luckily only two people were witnesses and I did..."

Yay! I can't wait for the second book either! I wish there were teasers or something, but I don't think any part of it is out yet :(

[Greta]

Props to my husband who cleaned up all the dishes after dinner and who just now has taken the two kids out to play in the backyard!

Kudos to husbands who know their ways in the kitchen, laundry, bathroom and kids! :D

[Samia]

I am in post angelfall cravings and I have been looking for books with angels for the past hour......please recommend!! I can't make up my mind!1 :'(

[Kate]

Have you read Illuminate by Aimee Agresti? It's an angels vs. demons book, though the angel part isn't really brought out until the second half. It's a pretty good book.

[Pahel]

Lol I'm super clumsy! I once fell off the bunk bed! :P I've gotten hit on my head 5 times! Blood and all. Closed the bathroom door on my hand once. Gosh that was painful. Walked into a wall once. Well thatz all I can remember for now :P

Samia wrote: "I am in post angelfall cravings and I have been looking for books with angels for the past hour......please recommend!! I can't make up my mind!1 :'("

Srsly same here! There aren't many good ones out there though!

Samia wrote: "I am in post angelfall cravings and I have been looking for books with angels for the past hour......please recommend!! I can't make up my mind!1 :'("

I felt the same Samia. I was looking for books that have angels and apocalypse all at once, since angels are my favorite supernatural beings, and I love apocalypse as well.

But no luck. Angelfall, as far as I know, is the only one with that kind of theme.

Anyway, have you read Daughter of Smoke and Bone already? I'm guessing you did. :)

[Greta]

Samia wrote: "I am in post angelfall cravings and I have been looking for books with angels for the past hour......please recommend!! I can't make up my mind!1 :'("

Well, you could read if you haven't read it yet, or try any of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments or the Infernal Devices series, .or maybe you would like

[Greta]

Oh, and I agree! Daughter of Smoke and Bone is great.

[kirstin ✿]

I tried to stay awake for 24 hours, and guess I just couldn't. I've only gotten an hour and a half of sleep so now I'm feeling quite dizzy. My head feels heavy!

I wonder how other people do that, though. Staying awake all day and night?

And even though I really want to, I could never be one. I'm a sleepyhead. Hahaha!

I have track record of staying awake for 27 hours and then sleeping for 14 hours straight!! :P I love to sleep!!

I have put an order for daughter of smoke and bone yesterday night...... ;). I'll check out sweet peril immediately because Greta recommended it!!

[Tati]

I was awake once for 36 hours, and I promised myself to never do that again, my sleep pattern was out of whack for a week.

[kirstin ✿]

You guys must have been zombies that time :D HAHA.

@Samia, oh yes. Sweet Evil? I'm gonna check that out too!

lol... the pressure! i hope you like it. Novel and Jona love it, too:)

[kirstin ✿]

I know this is not how he is described in the book. Still, I can't help but see Alden Richards as the Elector Anden in Prodigy. The closeness of their name's making it hard for me to separate one from the other! LOL. But one thing they have in common: dimple on the left cheek :)

[[deleted user]]

So many books, so little time to read..
