my resolution for this week...

...I'm going to start reading again. First is this must-read book that I haven't read yet. I want to read the book before I see its movie adaptation.


When there are movie adaptations, I tend to read the book first or else I wouldn't enjoy the movie ever. It's a little quirk of mine. That's the reason why I didn't watch Lord of the Rings when the first movie came out. I had to read the whole four books (including The Hobbit) before I bought the DVDs to watch the whole thing. And even if the screen adaptations were good--I must say I enjoyed the books so much more. My fondest memories in my college dorm do not resemble much of the majority of the population's. I was a nerd curled up in my cozy nook reading books and writing.

Maybe that's why I don't care for the Twilight series---I never read the Twilight books.
I still need to see the movie, Lovely Bones if its as haunting and as sentimental as the book.

Good thing my sisters are also voracious readers since they send books from the States after they are done with them. I am not necessarily a picky reader. I love books from memoirs to trashy, flowery romance novels.
I'm excited! I have so many books to devour for the next weeks.

Another resolution for my 26th year: At least one book a week. =)

Ice, you should read twilight, no matter what the pa cool jaded people says, it's a good read. Simple yes, but entertaining thats what books are for right? watch the movies, read the books. I watched the movies first and I liked it and then I bought the books...:) now I'm a "twi-hard"

I might be one of those pa-cool, jaded people, is why, hehe.

I'll borrow your books when I get there.
