Reading List: July

nobody@vox.com(alix) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 05:29:59 -0700

Since I have acquired a lot of books in like the past month(all thanks to my birthday!), I am now going to make it easier for myself to track what I've been reading, will be reading and those I have read for this time onwards. :X

So this is my reading list for the month. :) I'm already halfway through with Valiant and Guilty Pleasures and is quite stuck at the first part of The Host, although I'm battling between the Pilgrimage and the Witch of Portobello I thought it was better to read the Pilgrimage first. XD

oh how I love lists XD

Valiant by Holly Black
Guilty Pleasures: Anita Blake Series by Laurell K. Hamilton
The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho
The Host by Stephenie Meyer
Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder
Stardust by Neil Gaiman
Grass for His Pillows: Tales of the Otori Book 2 by Lian Hern

So like, I had the whole day to myself and what better to do with it but to find something useful in the internet. LMAO

Opera Browser - I don't really know what this browser entails, as I have just come across it this morning and well from the looks of it, it was fairly okay. But I'm partial to firefox since it had brought me salvation from the cruelties of microsoft and their tag-along Internet Explorer browser. I found out that it was crap at loading gmail tho. Lulz, and I tried updating this journal using the Opera Browser but I cannot even enter text on this big text field. I dunno why. >.< But aside from that, it loads rather fast and the interface is WOAH!COOL so I'm rather enjoying this new found discovery of mine. Besides, anything is BETTER than that crappy excuse of a browser called IE. BAH. I'd take this new baby anytime.

Visit their site at Opera and if you're curious like me, why don't you try it yourself.

Ebooks - I'm considering UTorrent as my best friend right now. Along with that site-i-cannot-mention because it has brought me great deals of pleasure. I have found several books of my liking, Chronicles of Narnia, Anita Blake series, Vampire Chronicles to name a few. I'm actually excitedly giddy in reading all of these starting tonight. This is sooo cool. I even found some gay romance novels in the site too, which is like. OMG where have you been in my entire life. LOL A great deal if you ask me.

Now I'm off to dinner and a bonding session with my rubick's cube before I endulge myself in this guilty pleasures of mine.

Because I procrastinate like it's a drug. [I should be studying now, considering that I have an exam tomorrow]

Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale

Holly Black

Summary: [by firefly]
Kaye Fierch has been playing with faeries that no one else could see since she was young, but she hadn’t seen any since she moved to Philadelphia with her mom when she was twelve. Now they’re back staying with her grandmother, and back too are the fairies: not only her childhood playmates, but also a dangerously beautiful faerie knight named Roiben, who Kaye saves from an arrow during a rainy night. And the faeries have a task for Kaye, who is not, as she’s always thought, the weird human high-school drop-out, but is rather a changeling, a pixie, living under a glamor for most of her life. For the time has come for the sept-annual Tithe: the sacrifice of a single human to bind the solitary Faerie Folk to the Unseelie Court, a kingdom of dark power and darker amusements… and her childhood friends want Kaye to be that sacrifice.

Review and to this and the other two books will follow

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?
