@Maria: Aaahhh, the Sweep series! I have all three omnibus volumes that are currently out, but I have yet to start reading them. I totally spoiled the story for myself though.

Ahaha I heard kasi na maganda yung series eh, so I'm definitely excited to read it kaso no time. :( I will get to it though! Kahit alam ko na kung ano mangyayari. *mahilig sa spoilers*
Parang may pagka-Unwind ni Neil Shusterman yung aura nang book. I feel like I should be bored but I am not. I think that's a good thing.
Anyone who've read the book?

I love Never Let Me Go. It's a quiet book that creeps up on you slowly, and it totally blew my mind at the end. :D
My current read:
There's a character with Filipino parents in the book, but she's not a part of the main group. I am very tempted to skip work just to finish this book. >:D

Yes, please do get it ASAP.. lol! :) I AM a Tom MacKee fangirl! Hope you get it soon! :)
I finished
and now reading
Oh, I have to read Never Let Me Go! Sounds really interesting. :) As well as watch the movie, just for the sake of Andrew Garfield ahaha.
I love Never Let Me Go too. I plan to reread it once I make a signigicant progress in my reading backlog.And I like the movie. I don't know how Carey Mulligan pulls that act.
The Knife of Never Letting Go. Halfway through na. Hehe. Patigil-tigil nga lang pagbabasa Ko, masakit sa mata magbasa ng e-book. Haha. Hope matapos Ko na 'to this week. :)
Singit sa Cassandra Clare. She used to write HP fan fiction, same style and everything. Her books all sound alike (yes, I am a CC dislike-er. hate is such a strong word), and of course they're influenced by HP.Finished
now reading
before I watch the movie then play the game

She was in the movie, play it like Beckham (i hope i got the movie title right) i think it was her first movie. it was a good movie, i think it was an indiefilm.

I've yet to see that film, but I think we have a copy of it somewhere... i'll go look for it hehe.Aside from books, my sister and I love watching interesting films and hunting for them in Quiapo. (This is also the reason why I still don't have a copy of the film adaptation of Norwegian Wood.)
Halfway reading
Nanonood din ako kanina ng movie adaptation ng Never Let Me Go kaso putol, babalik pa ko bukas sa pinagbilhan ko para papalitan
Nice book, Edil. Well, I just saw the movie last Sunday morning and I liked it!JOYZI: Blu-Ray copy? Putol?

That's why I'm reading the book! I want to watch the movie! :)
done with The Knife of Never Letting Go! I loved it. Whoa. One of the best books I've ever read. Parang gusto Ko ng umpisahan yung pangalawa. Hehe. Pero, na-curious Ako diyan sa Never Let Me Go, dystopian ang genre, for sure maganda. :)
Magkaiba ang ganda ng 2 books, Veneficus.Ang "Knife" ay imaginative, edge-of-seat, suspenseful, young at kickass
Ang "Never Let Me Go" ay well-written, classy, poignant, sad, dark, surreal, shocking at will make you reflect on your life.
Ang mas malapit sa "Never" ay "Unwind." Mas mababaw ang "Unwind" pero mas shocking lalo na yong isang scene doon. I will never forget that scene. Nightmarish.
ah thanks K.D. Idadagdag Ko sa 'books-to-read' list Ko. Until now, 'di pa din maka-recover sa 'Knife'. Grabe ang galing ni Patrick Ness. I shed a tear kay Manchee. Poor Manchee. That ruddy good dog. :(
Veneficus, let's be reading buddies for Books 2 & 3 of "Knife" I have the copy of those but still have no motivation to read them. Magagalit na ang hiniraman ko ha ha.What say you?
hay... dahil nalungkot ako sa City of Fallen Angels magbabasa muna ako ng dystopia. i'll start with Unwind :)
Napanood ko na KD, yup blue ray putol siya, tinry ko sa laptop ko dun gumana, okay lang sa 'kin yung movie, mas gusto ko pa rin yung The Island at Unwind.Nakakaturn-off lang yung Never Let Me Go, the characters just accepted their fate, I'm waiting for a resistance e.
Tapos medyo cliche yung romance, kaya ayun, okay lang talaga. Di ko na rin siguro babasahin yung book.
Tama ka Joyzi. Walang masyadong action ang "Never" Otherwise, magiging "Unwind" na sya. Di naman talagang intensyon ni Ishiguro na gawing pang-YA ang "Never." Pang-Booker yan eh. Parang di pa ako nakakabasa ng Booker na nagpapatayan ang mga characters na parang "Hunger Games" ha ha
Oo nga e, basta ang tagal kasi bago may mangyari, yung Nanay ko nga nainis, di na niya tinapos, kami na lang nung kapatid ko yung nanood, maganda talaga yung bandang huli na, nakakaiyak
KD! don't tempt me to read right now (i'm at the office heehee)!i just finished the scene where they boarded the bus (w/ excess baggage *wink*) and Connor and Risa are talking to a student-mother. :)
Ah, you are still pages away from the scene!Oh please tell me once you get there. I am so excited to know your reaction ha ha!
