It’s Monday! What are you reading? [22]

..

Hello! My Monday is literally HOT..!

…

.

I wanna go to the BEACH. *sad sigh*

But since I cannot do anything about that, let’s just talk about what’s in store for me this week.

[I really, really hope to get some reading, despite my busy week schedule.]

.

..

Buddy Read: Eona up for my Monday reading! Along with Kwesi and Cary for this fantasy with such high praises from my Goodreads friends.

..

Current Read: I have 100 pages remaining for Necromancing the Stone. This is funnier than its prequel Hold Me Closer, Necromancer, and twice as endearing.

..

Next Read: Arclight! Ooh, I can’t wait to start this one..

.

…

So what are you reading this week? Let me know in the comments section. =P

[And I hope where you are right now is cooler than my location.]

It’s Monday! What are you reading? [21]

Hello! I hope your Monday will start with a bang, because I’m feeling the summer creeping in here in Manila. The heat is cracking up, and so is the need to hit the beach! And with that, the happy feeling that comes with summer is crippling me with delight.

..

Buddy Read: This sequel of Cinder is up for my Monday reading! Along with Janus, let’s hope we are in for some fun this week.

..

Current Read: Since The Eternity Cure is now out in NetGalley, I just have to read the first book like, right now. Janus has been urging me to read it so yeah, I am currently reading this on Illium II. ;)

..

Next Read: Hmm. After my seemingly dislike for Pandemonium (almost 2/3 of it), I thought I can delay my reading of the finale for a month or so. Wrong. Now, the feeling that I need to know who Lena ended up with is coming back. Oh, Lauren Oliver, please do not break my heart.

....

Good morning! I still have a hangover. See I attended Tahereh Mafi’s Book Signing Event last Saturday, and it was loads of fun! *winks*

But enough of that. I’ll have a post dedicated to that awesome event. For now, here’ my reading plan this week.

Recent Read: This sequel is  dreary, and so not fun, but I still liked it. I mean, I still liked Akiva. Haha!

..

Current Read: I started this last week, actually. As much as I want to read it continuously, I am sticking to the reading plan set by our moderator, Beejay. Oh, this is Goodreads – The Filipino Group Book of the Month. Pretty excited to read my first Markus Zusak. ;)

..

Next Read: Another buddy read with Cary (and Rollie, too)! I think this will be an easy read, so I will finish it in no time (I hope).

Hello, Lovelies! How was your valentine weekend? *winks*

Me? Instead of flowers, my better half got me a book. *beams happily* Oh, yes. Thank heavens, he is a practical man.

And I did promise him that I will read it ASAP. So.. I’m ready, Kat & Hale!

…

Recent Read: Wow. Just wow. Sarra Manning made my Valentine weekend. BIG time!

..

Current Read: Something I’m reading on Temple the iPad.

..

Next Read: Got my copy yesterday. And I’m actually testing myself on how long I can stand looking at it without reading it. I say 2 days, max. Ha! I missed you, Day.

.

…

Whew! So what are you reading this week?

It’s Monday! What are you reading? [18]

Recent Read: It took me awhile to finish Tempest. So when I get to the finish line, my efforts were not rewarded. *shakes my head*

Could Tempest triggered my book slump last weekend? See, a typhoon raged Manila for the last 3 days. So I was cooped up in the house for two days. with hot choco and a warm blanket, a reading marathon is called for, right? wrong. I barely touched my currently reading books! (but i did have a movie marathon, though. Hee!)

Current Read: I started Throne of Glass. Gosh, the kindle copy from NetGalley was terrible. First few pages of each chapter are fragmented! Ugh. So i put that down. I tried first few pages of Under the Never Sky. Yeah, didn’t do nothing on my interest, either. Maybe later. Next! and there it was, my thick copy of The Last Sacrifice. I better get over whatever idiotic thing Rose Hathaway has in mind. I am really hoping this finale will sate me. Please, PLEASE! I beg Richelle Mead to not irk me. I am also listening to The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and guess what? I’m loving Charlie. I laughed a bunch of times now!

Next Read: My upcoming buddy reads with my fellow Goodreads friends – The Virgin Suicides, The Catcher in the Rye, and The Great Gatsby. A little ambitious, don’t you think? But I can do it! *cross fingers*

1984 was the January read of Goodreads – The Filipino Group and i must say i really, really liked it!

Well, the ending was crappy. Still, it was a worthy read. =)

Review to come.

 Darkness Becomes Her is another good read for me.

It has flaws, yes, but I did not mind because Ari is so kick-*ss!

Review to come.

READING NOW

Bean’s character is too good to be true here in Ender’s Shadow.

Although i’m on that part now where the nun is investigating his past and origin.

 I was so excited to read Crossed!

But then, I got to the part where Cassia starts mooning over Xavier. Eck.

So I need to stop for a moment.

 The Way We Fall is my NetGalley read for this week.

The first pages are told in diary entries, and i’m not liking that.

 It reminds me of Life As We Knew It and I did not like that book.

 Good Oil is my contemporary fix for the day.

It is fine so far; i hope it picks up.

NEXT

It’s time to read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo!

The Hollywood version will be shown in theaters here in the Philippines this week.

But I want to watch the Swedish (am i correct?) version after I read it.
