Friday Reads #1

I believe this feature started on Twitter, with people hashtagging FridayReads (#FridayReads) to participate. I've seen it around booktube community too. It's just a way of sharing on what you read on Friday and on the weekend, I guess.

I'm not really sure but hey I think it sounds great and I feel like doing it. Also, because I don't know what else to post other than reviews, so this is just to make sure I've at least one blog post up in a week. I'll just go with what I read on Friday, because I'm a slow reader, - evidence, not in anyway tampered - I'll probably be reading the same book over the weekend too.

Juliette seems to be getting on my nerves a lot. Not sure if I'll like the book. Currently on page 48, and I've already written about 2 pages in my notebook on why I hate dislike her.

Love for Books Readathon

I'm in! This is my first read-a-thon ever. I'm sooo excited! This read-a-thon is hosted by Novel Heartbeat and Confession of a Bookie Monster. Head on over to either of their blog for more details and how to join etc.

How: set your own goal and read, that's all. 

When: Monday, February 17th, 12:01 am - Sunday, February 23rd, 11:56 pm (my timezone). I've asked Jessi from Novel Heartbeat, and she said just go along with your timezone to eliminate confusion :). In my case, this will start approx. in 6 hours and 20 minutes. I'll be updating this post for my goal and progress. So, just come back here to this post, if you'd like to check on my progress. I'll be listing my goals in 1 or 2 days before the read-a-thon starts.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books That Will Make Me Cry

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that features top ten list on different topics every week, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Check them out for more information, how to join etc.

This week topic is: Top ten books that will make you cry.

I hardly ever cry because of books. I guess I have a heart made out of stone. Stone cold. Or maybe I haven't read any heart-wrenching book yet, maybe. I have been meaning to post this yesterday, but it turned out I needed a lot of time to do some thinking on the topic. Anyway, here goes:
