“So many books, so little time.”

― Frank Zappa

Here are the books I'm planning to read this month. Hope I finish them (on time)!

I'm now shying away from ebooks because I still have too many unread physical books not to mention the pre-loved books I just ordered (16 of them - my poor, poor wallet. Why I never had the discipline to DIET, I don't know...)

1. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

For our first buddy read, Billy and I decided to read Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. I've been meaning to read this book for so long but never did I have the drive to do so. We decided to read 3 chapters a day.

Hi Billy!

Thank you for being my reading buddy! Together, let's dissect Heathcliff! Hahaha. :D

2. Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

Whenever I borrow books, I make it a point to read it right away so the next time I see the person who lent me the book, I can hand it back off the bat. I can now announce that I've religiously followed that path had it not for this book. Ella lent me this copy last Summer Komikon (that's April 13) and still, I have yet to read it!

Attachments is a fun story about newsroom girls and a graveyard IT guy. I'm a newsroom and graveyard girl, so I know, I'd definitely like this book.

3. Death by Garrote by Ambeth Ocampo

I love reading history-related things, back when I was in elementary, I'd pick a random volume in any of our Encyclopedias and will just read anything history. I've lost that drive nowadays, so I just hope that with this little newsprint book (which I got on sale, if I may add!), the history buff in me will resurface.

4. Walong Diwata ng Pagkahulog by Edgar Calabia Samar

This is Pinoy Reads Pinoy Books, my beloved book club's book of the month/s. Our discussion leader is Berto so, it actually is kind of exciting (knowing how crazy Berto can sometimes be). We will culminate the online discussion with a field trip to San Pablo, the setting of the book. Join the book discussion here.

5. Girl Meets World by Claire Betita de Guzman

Maybe, by now, you already know that I'm an ardent supporter of Filipino books. I've had this copy with me since God knows when, my office mate even borrowed this from me, but I don't know why I never had the time to read it. (Blame it to Phoebe's review ha ha) Now, I hope I'd finish this. ♥
