netgalley is the best when it comes to ARCs. I just don't like reading e-books which the only way they offer.

I read the claiming of sleeping beauty long long long ago...my tummy ached after a few chapters and I felt like vomiting...OMG...it's so evil... but kudos Anne Rice!
Jay Rubin's Haruki Murakami and the Music of Words answers many questions about Murakami and his works. Nice to read if you are a fan (like me)!
Lullaby I like the concept very much but I feel a lack of execution. The plot idea was just enormous that it could rival Death Note but I guess Chuck Palahniuk had no intention to go that way at all. I found myself saying "OK, one more chapter and I'll sleep" multiple times! Definitely a page turner.
I even made a reading plan for this one, haha. Target finish days: 20-26. I am currently on Day 2. :)
Haha, oo nga eh, kaya I had to make a reading plan. 50-70 pages a day, tapos I made sure na sa chapter/book/volume ending siya. What is OC? :)
Yep. Kasi naman I wrote that W&P reading plan while reading. Tinapos ko lang isang chapter, tapos kumuha ng papel at ballpen. :D
Hmm. I was planning to read Gone with the Wind for this month. Then I visited Jessica Zafra's blog. There's a W&P Reading Group going on. So I joined in the fun. The participants are encouraged to chronicle their experience with the book. Kaya hayun, parang trip lang ang reason (and 95% yun ang reason ko for reading, it's supposed to be for fun diba, tapos yung 5% for school, eh I'm done with that), pero this should be productive. So far, enjoy siya. Hindi naman kasi ganun kabigat ang pagkakasulat, at saka maiikli lang ang mga chapters, so madali siyang i-segment. And I am ranting, sorry, hehe. :D
Ganun ba? Akala ko required >.< ayun hindi pa ako nakakabasa anything from Tolstoy kasi nakakatakot ang kapal ng books niya ^^. Pero I've heard maganda daw yung Gone with the Wind kaso ang kapal din nun.
Oo nga, pakapalan sila, haha, pero panalo ang W&P. Dapat Anna Karenina talaga uunahin ko, eh kaso nga yung reading group kasi, sayang naman. It's my first time reading a thousand-pager (not counting anthologies). Thanks for the add pala. :)
Ganun ba sige good luck^^ No probs dun sa add. Nakita ko nga wala ka pang masyadong friends try adding yung mga members dito sa group they're pretty amiable naman.
okay sige good luck but this site is pretty organize naman, if you'll have questions don't hesitate to ask.
Is it weird that I'm reading Virgin Suicides, Go Ask Alice, Th1rteen R3easons Why and Girl, Interrupted this week of Valentine's? Haha
