It's already the 1st day of February. It's the love month! But since the current love of my life is my book collection, I am posting some book love for my first Mellow Yellow Monday entry. Happy Monday everyone!

I don't read that much these days. In fact, magazines are the only materials I read for the past few weeks. Why? I am just not into novels at the moment. My books are piled up high beside my computer. I don't feel like meeting any of the characters in the books I've bought. I have three books given to me last Christmas that are still unopened. It's a shame actually. And there I was at the mall

So I realized I haven't posted any of the book reviews I made! Boo! Well, let me tell you that I am still polishing it a bit and will start posting tomorrow morning. I have done reviews on Intensity and Hush, Hush. I have also done some movie reviews. Will post it in a bit, I promise :)

Oh yes, I am back! For weeks and weeks, I cannot access any Google-related sites for some reason. I almost had my pc reformatted. Fortunately, the technician has other important things to attend to so he was not able to pay me a visit. Last night, I searched Google for the reason why I can't access their sites (which I should have done a long time ago except that I didn't hay...) and found out

I am back on my reading mode! Yay! I have finished two books already. I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows again. This book actually did the trick. It unlocked my frozen bookworm-y juices and made me want to read more. I also finished reading Dead in Dallas, Book 2 of The Southern Vampire Mysteries. A brief review of this book will follow. I am currently reading Intensity by Dean Koontz.

I just noticed that it's already October! Yay! Time is running so fast, don't you think? Before you know it, it's already Christmas. It's really time to start saving up for the holidays... Happy October 1st everyone! Here's hoping this month will be a fruitful one for all of us. ;)

If you've read the last book from the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, you know that this book played a big role in the quest for the three hallows. The book, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, is a children's book by J.K. Rowling. It is a fictional Wizarding children's tales by Beedle the Bard and is supposed to be the counterpart of the Muggle's (non-magic people) fairy

Actually, I'm still reading but I am too slow right now because of a schedule I am following. So instead of putting up my Current Read, I will just put a "On reading hiatus" sign for now. You will see random reviews by next week of books I've read in the past. These are book reviews I promised and have been too busy to write down. Anyway, I will be back to regular blogging by Monday next week ;)

The book is an experience that allows you to witness your feelings without having to surrender to them, to succumb to them, or to be battered by them. It gives you access to a deep knowledge of how you would respond to things you would never, thank goodness, have been required to experience.— Michael Silverblatt

I was planning to clean out my box of books yesterday but because of a splitting headache, I spent most of Sunday sleeping. I will have to schedule it again within the week. I really need to do some cleaning. Some of my books I might give to cousins. I don't have enough room for all of it anymore. How did you spend your weekend?

Check out the teaser for the much-awaited finale of True Blood's Season 2. It's so darn good! Can't wait for the episode to air. Haven't read about a season 3 but with the record-breaking viewership this series is getting, especially with the past 3 episodes, I doubt if HBO will stop airing a season 3. I am so into True Blood!

I'm afraid I lost the August Reading Challenge. I must admit I haven't finished any book in weeks. Either my schedule won't permit me to read (going to bed really tired, mentally and physically) or when I do have the time, I just don't have the drive to read and would just like to catch up on sleep. I just have to excuse myself from finishing this challenge because I don't think I can squeeze in

If you haven't seen an episode yet, I suggest you try and watch HBO's True Blood. You'll get hooked, I swear! If you can get past the nudity and the blood and gore, you will really like the story. Anyway, I'm done with Season 1, watched 9 episodes of Season 2 already and I am highly anticipating episode 10. Here's a preview... True Blood Season 2 Episode 10 "New World in My View" Preview I
