Monday Read Lusts

Sorry for going haywire all of a sudden. The past days has been a whirlwind of work, a pseudo-typhoon that submerged MNL making me work at home for two days, distractions (my resurrected Tumblr), hanging out with friends - glad to be back on the outside world, and my stint at the emergency room yesterday because of my swollen, irritated eyes.

I just had to whip up something good for ya, like these interesting things from around the web (not the usual "links only"):

Is it just me or is RPattz becoming more boy toy material since she left KStew? Extra points for this quote.

I wanna be Molly Mahoney and this will be Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium! Ahhhh!

11 Books You Should Read If You're A Woman In Your 20s - What would you read from this list? I'd probably go for Garden of Eden, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and The Edible Woman.

This item tipped the scale to "buy a Kindle ASAP". Pretty nifty!

Gives me hella good laughs and a glimpse of the world of writers. Cos writers can joke too!

Hit me up on Tumblr.
Happy reading/watching :)

Monday Read Lusts

Woke up to another rainy Monday morning! I braved the storm in my cozy San Francisco hoodie & red bow shoes. I read the news with a steaming cup of chocolate coffee. Then the AC broke down. Again. The room was so hot we had to work without lights to cool off. The next thing I know there was smoke everywhere and people were rushing to the door. What a day. The only good thing is that there was no traffic - I was home in 30 minutes flat. And of course, your Monday dose of links! Read on :)

Your favorite paperback as a piece of jewelry, perhaps?

Saves you a lot of bookshelf space!

If Thumbelina & Tom Thumb was real they'd read this.

Making the world a better place one payphone booth at a time.

Not joining the e-reader bandwagon? Read this.

I updated my About page! Have a look if you have time to spare and visit my other corners in cyberworld. I also added the 'You might also like' widget. Don't forget to check 'em out!

Been uninspired lately. I think the rain has got something to do with this.



Sorry for the rant.

Happy reading :)

On Sunday morning I woke up to the sound of rain, to the warm hue of my room tinted by peach curtains, I reached for Age of Innocence on my bedside table, and thank the heavens for the simple pleasure of spending my morning bundled up in my bed without the urgency to move. I feel I could stretch the morning into days.


Makes it harder to get up on Monday mornings, right?

Read away your Monday blues with these...

Found this charming blog by a bookseller who finds the most interesting bookmarks -from vintage ephemera, tickets, black and white photographs to mundane grocery lists.

Staying in with a good book? How about reading outdoors in a book-vineyard?

Does this mean I'm a book snob because I don't read out of my comfort genre?

Ever wished fictional bookworms weren't so fictional? Peek at their reading list!

Happy reading :)
