Book haul

I finally got the chance to buy my  'to die for' books! I bought  The Power of Six , first (last Saturday) because I'm itching to read it already even though I still have a  book that I'm currently reading. Then  the day after that, my family and I went to Mall of Asia to celebrate my parent's anniversary, eventually I visited  FullyBooked and bought Eon . I finally found it , actually it was my sister who found it for me.  I really can't wait to read these! I'm confused,  what will I be reading first? lol  My younger brother also bought another animal book that he loves, another book to add in his collection of animal encyclopedia . I felt so happy for him , that he's spending his money  for books.


Of course, everytime I enter  a bookstore I always got too thrilled and excited , as if it's a paradise. I also saw  several copies of The Fault in our stars by John Green, in Fullybooked.  I promised myself  that I would buy that book when I'm done with these , and some other  books that's still piled up for me to read. How exciting it is to read! It's such a pleasure.

Book I haven't finished yet: Eragon



I'm a loser, I know!

I started reading this book at our school's library. It was fun reading it , really.  But since I don't have a copy and I don't know any people who has one besides our library, I have abandoned a story that I came to love. I don't know why I stopped going to the library, I think because I got busy with school. With that reason I read the available  books  in our house instead. I always thought to myself that when I have my free time I would go back to the library and read it, or just borrow it instead. But that thought somehow evaporated in my mind. I miss reading this book, I miss the feeling that I was  in the mediaval era. Because of this book I became to like dragons and began to wonder what was life in the medieval period. Somehow living in this era is simple, ordinary yet challenging. Ok , now I promise to myself that I would finish this and its trilogy.

P.S. before reading this , I really thought that Eragon is the dragon! (yeah because of the cover) xD

For me, I find it very slow paced not until the climax. The climax was a boom!  I wasn’t expecting it ,that I stopped for a minute  and think of how it  greatly uplift my interest in reading some more. It was just wow! I didn’t really see that coming! In one part it did give a hint of what was  happening, but all my guesses were wrong. I like how this book made me love  plot about science and finding your identity. Not only did I enjoy some tidbits about science (in which I admit is my weakness) but I also learned many great things about valuing our humanity  . I was mindblown! That’s all I could say.
