Timeless Kiss

For the first day of August I chose to blog this book, well not really chose because it is way overdue already, finished reading it some time ago, but because of hectic schedule and sudden shift of my time, I wasn’t able to write about it. I came across this book because of Beastly, I watched the film first because (ok fine,I’ll admit it, I’m a Hudgens fan, what? What’s wrong with that?) then a friend of mine told me to read the Beastly book, so I did, but that will be another blog entry (hopefully).

Fully Booked

"There is nothing more heavenly than a bookstore on sale" those were the phrase I tweeted when I didn't expect that the bookstore is on sale.

Unlike retail therapy or impulsive buying I didn't feel guilty afterwards, I was happy and can't wait to read them all. My only dilemma now is what to read first. All of them are in my book list that I can't wait to read. Two of the books not pictured is "A Kiss in Time" by Alex Finn and "Throne of Fire" by Rick Riordan, that I finished already and are in the list of borrowed books.
