07.Jun.2009 Sunday Salon: Watching Books
Having literally stacks of books all around you while you don’t have much excitement to read them can be frustrating, which I believe has happened to me lately. But yesterday I felt like I’m getting it again. Yesterday I finished a book which I had only read halfway for the past few weeks or so [...]
05.Jun.2009 Bone Vol 5: Rock Jaw Master of the Eastern Border by Jeff Smith
I’ve been talking about Bone for the last 3 posts now. But no more for a while, I promise. This is the last Bone that I borrowed from the library and I’m gonna have to wait a while to get my hands on the next books in the series. *sigh* It’s for the better. Before [...]

The White Queen is scheduled to be released on 7th September 2009. The cover that I have is different with the [...]

Tomorrow is officially the first day of winter for the eastern part of Australia. It’s been getting cold for the past few weeks. Inside my house is so cold my teeth hurt. I hate this house on winter. Sometimes I think it’s colder inside than outside. It’s cold inside when it’s cold outside and it’s [...]
