Di ko pa nababasa, pero yung friend ko sabi maganda daw, parang magpenpal ata yung dalawang characters dito, tsaka alam ko one of the banned books yan e, dahil ata sa Homosexuality

later. Maganda ba to?"it's more like Charlie's diary being a wallflower :D not that great of a novel pero maganda. Naiyak lang ako hehe
I might be late reading Percy Jackson (Book1) but man, the book is exhausting. Sunod-sunod naman yung attack ng monsters! And, the more I read, the more I hate the movie. Which I hated already.

Nina Dobrev daw will Logan's/Charlie's sister

nasa part 6 na Ako. Grabe, pasok na pasok sa panlasa Ko 'tong librong 'to. Kaso, Good Friday ngayon, should I continue to read it now? (naramdaman Ko na kasi na parang nandito na yung sinasabi nilang 'scene'). Haha, nagkataon naman Good Friday! Whoaaaa!

ok lang KD, nabasa ko na naman :)
V: Funny!I have been doing a reading marathon since yesterday: (1) The Holy Bible; (2) Cloud Atlas; (3) God of Small Things; (4) Paper Towns and (5) The Happy Prince and Other Stories. Papapalit palit lang.
So far, I've been reading a few books simultaneously. :))They are:
Kapitan Sino by Bob Ong
Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey
Yes, I believe you. I dunno. I have the tendency to stay away from authors whose books are too many. I have an impression that their books are either: formulaic or they have ghost writers (which for me is dishonesty).Besides, there are many other authors and as much as possible, I would like to try them all.
Having said that I know I will read a Sheldon someday. I fancy his "The Other Side of Midnight" but I still wait for a old very cheap copy.
My high school classmates were fond of reading books of Sidney Sheldon and I just collected them for almost 4 years and I read 3 so far. Everything change, my taste for Sidney failed me.Remmy, I think his writing style is normal, like he was writing a script, but the interesting part is when he added some psychological facts that maintains the creepiness and intense thrill between characters. He always got this odd twist in the end.
I just finished "Where She went" by Gayle Forman. super nice.now reading "Shiver" by Maggie Stiefvater(:

The very reason I ditched Danielle Steel. I still shudder whenever I think about the dozen books of hers that I read voraciously back in high school.
KWESI: I have not tried Sidney Sheldon. Parang masyadong masa."exactly..parang Danielle Steele... pero report mo sa akin KWESI kung maganda. meron kami sa bahay.
Krizi, okay lang siya basahin kung bata ka pa. I mean kung first step mo pa lang sa pagbabasa ng books at predictable di bumabago ending niya. Ang maganda lang hinahaluan niya ng psychology.Currently Reading --->
KWESI: Ang ang hinahaluan ng psychology?At kung hindi hahaluan, ano na lang ang kuwenta ng istorya? At least, nag-effort naman sya at nag-research ng konti. O may kurso syang psychology? Kagaya ni Barbara Kingsolver sa "Poisonwood Bible", hinaluan nya ng Botany kasi Biology graduate sya?
KD, Di ko alam kung walang psychology dun baka 1 star na lang bigay ko. Basta sobrang simple ng story niya at may konting twist lang sa dulo. Nagtrabaho din yata siya as scriptwriter sa Hollywere before he start writing novels.
I have a Sheldon book here but I never try to read it. Feeling ko pang-matanda (feeling bata kasi ako eh) hahanow reading: Looking for Alaska (FINALLY! And thank you to Kaye for the copy)
finished reading Unwind by Neal Shusterman. Grabe! Napaka-creepy ng eksenang yun. Sa tanang buhay ng pagbabasa Ko, ngayon lang Ako nakaranas ng 'di maipaliwanag na pakiramdam. Whoaaa! Highly recommended!Next book: Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero or The Ask and the Answer. Depende sa mood, haha. Have a nice weekend to all.
*poof*
