32nd Manila International Book Fair

If you're an avid book reader like me and most of my friends I am sure if there's a book sale or book fair you will be doing anything just to go there and get a glimpse even if it means you're not going to sleep yet. A month ago I knew that there will be a book sale thanks to my friend who will have their booth there. I made a note on my planner, whatever happens I will go with the hopes of finding some of the books that is on my list. Sadly since I went there Saturday and it started Wednesday, some of the books I want were out of stock already, but I made sure that Although it says 32nd Manila International Book Fair, I only started going to the book fair last year, because it was only last year that I was using my internet or more informative ways, like following blogs, using twitter and tumblr for informations re. sale or any useful tips, not just using my internet for games in facebook or cyber stalking. I found more books last year, probably the friend I went with last

The Son of Neptune

I loved Percy Jackson from the moment I watched it until the last page of The Last Olympian so it is no surprise that I patiently awaits another book that will have Percy Jackson in it. I read the first book The Lost Hero but quite disappointed that Percy is missing, that's why I'm excited with the second book which most probably star Percy, well who could be Neptune's Son right? probably Tyson? Love the cover too. Will be available on October 4, 2011 To read the first chapter click here

The Power of Six

I watched “I Am Number Four”, first before reading the book, and I have to thank my cousins for insisting that we watched the movie because of Alex Rider, Alex Pettyfer rather. I enjoyed the movie and thought of reading the book. Actually I didn’t plan to read the book, it was just there in front of me on my desk and coincidentally I wasn’t reading any book at that time. Just reading few pages of the book, I found myself hooked and could not close the book and sleep. So when a voucher from this bookstore was delivered to my house I immediately made a trip to the bookstore with no book title in mind. Thankfully “Power Of Six” is already out, I didn’t think twice, I grabbed the book and paid it with the voucher. I could not put the book down, it was like a movie inside the book, always putting me at the edge of my seat, devouring each page. I have lots of anticipation with each page, almost reading as if the letters are just passing by my eyes and could not wait to turn another page
