Lately, I’ve been reading books again. I miss reading and the fun and thrill it brings. Blame the school work.
It was during my OJT that I decided to leaf through some pages again since the work was pretty boring, especially during mornings. So the first book I read that time was The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. As usual, Mr. Brown never fails to leave my mouth hanging in awe. A two-thumbs up yet again.
That’s how I got myself wanting more, and more. I even got the chance to read Looking for Alaska by John Green. Finally. After many months of looking for a copy. Then, I found out it was banned. I mean, come on, you people. Banning this book is so ridiculous that I want to make an appeal. It had powerful writing. Fascinating in its ways. This isn’t “pornographic” and not intended to shock readers, but simply to explore teen sexuality. I even think that Julie Garwood’s books contain more sensitive scenes than this one. Looking for Alaska was a remarkably intelligent book and managed to rise above the condescension that teen novels usually have. I can’t help but appreciate the depth that this novel had shown. It’s apparently one of my favorites. I love how it explores life and death.
Finally, my most recent read. The Hunger Games trilogy, only that the third and last installment is yet to be released this August. The first two books are awesome. Fascinating. Remarkable. Hands down to Suzanne Collins’ originality and creativity. I’m not sure if there’s a similar story with this trilogy, but I doubt it since I had never encountered one. And I tell you, bookworms, you’ll regret not giving these books a chance. It’s too riveting, if not amazing, to put down.
I seriously can’t wait for August 24. I’m dying to know the aftermath of their defiance to the Capitol. Katniss. Gale. Peeta. Haymitch. Finnick. Et cetera. And, yes, I was so thrilled when I searched The Hunger Games on imdb.com 
wai kapildi sa imu pgka.bookworm aimz. i wish i could read more books, too. hehehe.
way kapildi sa imung ka-paspas mo-comment kyu… hahahaha.. basa dayun.
Oh my goddddd I know what you mean. At the end of the semester I devour novel after novel because I actually have time to read for leisure. Looking for Alaska sounds interesting… I love banned books and trying to figure out why they were banned in the first place. I’m not a big fan of Dan Brown, though I read The DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons. Anway, have fun reading!
Duuude. The Hunger Games is awesome! It’s the only fantasy book I’ll read. I’m so excited for the third one! AND the movie!
There is definitely something refreshing about flipping through a book. It’s almost a relief as you read because the world around you dissolves and all you have to worry about it the resolution of the novel. It’s a peaceful hobbie xD
I’ve see The Lost Symbol around several times. If it’s as good as you say, I might just read it. I adore The Hunger Games! It is one of the best books ever. I’m excited for August as well.
Random question but what color was Katniss’s hair?
dark, black or brown hair, i guess ;D
Haha I just ordered Breaking Dawn. I already read the other Twilight books <3
Glad to hear you’re going back to reading. I promised myself two books a week — it seems I can’t. Just read The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer kay they offered free reading man but only until tomorrow, I think. I just downloaded all seven ebooks of Narnia, I hope I finish them dayun. hehehehe
nice ang new book ni meyer?
Very late reply. hahahahha

mura man sd ko na-surprise pag-release ato niya.. pero, eventually, murag dili na xa appealing sd.. hehe. ambot. not on top of my list.. hahaha
I really feel sad as because I never get to read books now. School is really time consuming. :\
I know, right? it gives me hell most of the time.
I LOVE the Hunger Games trilogy! I can’t wait until the third one is out because I couldn’t put the other two down and I’m sure this one will be just as good.
I know. It just keeps getting better. I’m so excited.
Look at the way your writing improved! hahaha this always happens when people read books. I like it. XDD yay!
Hunger Games trilogy? sounds fascinating! I’d love to give it a chance after I finish reading my mountain of unread books. /wrist
I love reading, I need to pick up some new ones. Meh @ banning books. I may have to pick up one of the The Hunger Games books.
you won’t regret it. i swear.
