Friends, Meet My Books

Even before the New Year begins, I already made a list of goals that I must accomplish until the first half of the year (I have a reason for this, lol). One of those goals is to read ALL the books that I own before my deadline. Of all the books that I have, I only managed to finish one this month: Mario Vargas Llosa’s The Bad Girl, and right now, I am starting another one. This time, it’s Lisa See’s Snowflower and the Secret Fan.

Anyway, I made this post not only to show everyone my reading progress (and/or even reviews about the books), but also to list down the books that I have and willing to share, even give. ­Give, because even though I will still find these books useful in the future, I want them to be in good hands instead of just stacking them in my non-existent bookshelf. So, if any of you are interested with the books, let me know and I'll share them with you after I read them.

Some books were already "reserved" to those people whom I know would need and take care of these books as much as I did. You can also borrow the reserved ones, as long as I haven't given them to their new parents yet.

To you, who wants any of these books, please do me a favor: take good care of them as if they're family.


Here is my list of books (that I can remember so far). I will update this list from time to time since I still have to sort them out, and for everyone to know what has been taken. Books with marks like this mean they are already reserved:


- The Bad Girl by Mario Vargas Llosa
- Snowflower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See

- A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf
- Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes
