January and February books

The two weeks vacation and a three days stay in the hospital made me catch up with my reading. I was so busy during the Holidays, that I didn't have time to even open these books from their plastics.
I gladly started reading them, I only wished I read size 12 isn't fat first, though being size 14 is something I can relate to. And the insights of Heather Wells are sometimes my insight to. I kinda like the relationship between her landlord, being friends and feeling something for him but he is the brother of your Ex, so something tells you 'He is off limits' is he? I like CSI, Bones and the like so being the crime solving story really interest me. But when I first saw this on the shelf, I thought it is a chic lit, romance kind of thing, didn't thought it was a mystery type of novel. In the middle of the story I dragged myself to finish it because the story got slow for me.
I started reading James Patterson's not action novel books when I read the back cover of "Sunday's At Tiffanys" I enjoyed the story so I thought of reading another book of James Patterson. The mystery of who and what happened to the male main character is a page turner at the same time, I felt the pain this young lady is experiencing how he had broke her heart.
For January, my last book made it to my My Fave list and another series book which I will be buying when the sequel comes out. I like the combination of the Kane siblings and how they compensate each other. Just like Percy Jackson and friends, you will enjoy their journey and adventure, but the Kanes traveled in different countries and taking us to the Egyptian Gods.
Last time I read, the next book will be coming out on May 2011 which I excitedly awaits.

The first book I read for February is from another favorite author but I thought I will never finish this book the first chapters were too technical for me. I imagined my dad enjoying this
book. I also imagined Cotton Malone like other equally famous book character like Alex Cross or Jason Bourne. When I finally grasped the story and characters I can't put the book down anymore and closely would trade to finish this book rather than read through my training handouts.
I thought finally Cotton will have a love life again, but I guess having a busy life and a post retired life is to risky for having a loved one close to him. Who would thought a retired Magellan Billet who chose to sell books will be Cotton Malone novel.

The Reading Challenge

At the start of the year there were two reading challenges I committed myself to The Goodreads Reading Challenge where you will decide how many books you can read for the year. The other one I got from my cousin but upon searching in Google it's a Popsugar Reading Challenge.  I must have underestimated my annual calendar because I challenged my self to red 50 books in Goodreads. I thought "50 books? Oh that's nothing, I have all the time in the world." And guess what? It's mid of November and here's my reading challenge. Apparently I didn't plan on being too busy during mid year but I'm not complaining I just didn't expect it to be like that. Still, I'm happy to I have read 25 books so far. And these are mostly YA books. What's with YA anyway? Am I old to be reading it? But that's another blog entry I suppose. I am happy to discover new authors that I will sure follow (Sarah Haas, Cassandra Rose Clarke) and the likes. With these 2...

Holy Bummin' Week

While others are out of town relaxing in a rest house somewhere, or swimming mostly in the south, I spent my holy week mostly at work and home alone in our house. My Mom went to Bicol and spent the Holy Week there while also preparing for the 80th Birthday of my Lola on June. From Monday to Thursday here was my schedule, water the plants before I even put my bag down, feed the cat, mop the floor, wash the dishes, play with my 9 months old niece and go to sleep until 8pm. At 8pm, prepare my baon for work, browse net and check facebook, then take a bath and go to work and same thing again the next day,pretty boring huh? but Friday to Sunday was different. I avail of our VTO (Volountary Timed Out) well the whole Friday I slept like I will not sleep again, play LAN games in the computer until 4am and I was too lazy to prepare something for breakfast because by this time I was really hungry since i slept the whole day, so what else should I do but dial the ever reliable Dial 8-MCDO. ...

He Can't face the Music

An English phrase was born through a Chinese story, you might be wondering how is that? So the story goes… Once there was an Emperor who loves music, he so loved it he organized a Royal Orchestra. The flutist of the Royal orchestra doesn’t really know how to play the flute, he just blows the instrument but no music was coming out of the flute, but he the benefits for being in the Royal orchestra, lodging, first class treatment and food fit for a King. One Day the King asked each musician to play for him, the Flutist said he was sick at the night of the performance, so the King send his Royal Physician to check the flutist, and the Physician reported that the Flutist was not sick. When the King ordered for the Flutist to be captured, the Physician told the Royal Guards… "The Impostor Can’t Face The Music" I chose to write about this because even the story is old, it is still applicable in the modern world. There are impostors, pretenders whatever we call them, but when confron...
