Hi Michiko!I know, kaintriga ang trailer so I looked it up. :-)
I'm done with the first book but I'm struggling with the second one - I'm gettin' bored. :-(
awww, Sakura_lyc don't give up! lol! grabe feeling ko nga mas maganda ang movie kesa sa book ^_^ haha!
Michiko wrote: "awww, Sakura_lyc don't give up! lol! grabe feeling ko nga mas maganda ang movie kesa sa book ^_^ haha!"Yup, very excited to see the movie kaya lang August pa yata ang release so have to wait for a few months - I heart Lily Collins but I'm not convinced about Jamie Campbell Bower as Jace though. Guess I have to read the rest of the books while waiting, I really want to finish it but in some stories I have the attention span of a goldfish. :-P
Currently reading State of Wonder by Anne Patchett

hindi ko kilala yung cast XD but yeah, the girl playing as Clary (base sa nakita ko sa trailer XD)is good. nasa p. 85 nako and i'm getting boreeeed. XD parang ang empty lang kasi ng character ni Clary. AND the term "glamour" :DDDD si Holly Black ang may pakana! have you read Holly Black's Tithe? Maganda sya promise :)
The girl who'll be playing Clary co-starred with Taylor Lautner sa isang action suspense movie..forgot the title pero pinapalabas as HBO..he he he..

@Michiko - I haven't read that one. Sige, I'll add that to my long list of books to read this year. Thanks for the recommendation. :-)
*Clai wrote: "The girl who'll be playing Clary co-starred with Taylor Lautner sa isang action suspense movie..forgot the title pero pinapalabas as HBO..he he he.."I think that's Abduction or something. I haven't seen the movie yet, pero yup. That's Lily Collins alright (anak ni Phil Collins), she also starred opposite Julia Roberts sa Mirror, Mirror as Snowhite. :-)

It's about faeries and glamours and magic. But add a little dark spice to it. It's really refreshing and the male protagonist, Roiben is hot >////<

I tend to forget I was reading this or that after reading a certain book that's a series. You know, so eager to know what's going to happen next. :)

It's a good book. :) Though took me a month to finish it. I sometimes get bored, maybe I just don't get good connection with the book, since it's written in a third person point of view. :|

I know! I've been "Currently Reading" this book for the past 3 weeks. I hate not being able to finish it though so I'm not gonna start with another book until I finish this one. :-)

I think that's a good idea, just to make sure you can finish it. But other good books have the power to tempt you to read them..haha! ;)
@Jorie: Don't remind me. I've very little self-control. :-)
@sakura_lyc: I feel you. ;)

Really looking forward to the Book thief since it's TFG's book for the month. :)
I'm currently reading Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. And I'm planning to finish the other current book I'm reading. I got bored to it. NICOLAE...
So far I am liking the reference to pop culture!
I'm reading my first Neil Gaiman book. ^_^
I got bored with this ^ book. It's a very old book. Published in 1950's. And I really can't follow the flow of the story.
So I decided to read this instead.
Continuing my journey with Robert Langdon. ^_^
