finished reading >>Right Behind You last night



though there are a lot of things to be done in school...
something in my life here makes me feel sort of incomplete...
it's because I'm not reading any book right before...
so i headed to National Bookstore and Booksale to look for books...

and i got RIGHT BEHIND YOU by Gail Giles last Thursday...

i found the story somehow touching...
it captures the innocence of a child... and the deep cut that was caused by his mother's early death.
it shown a dash of anger and maybe envy... which led Kip, who was forced to change his identity to Wade, to live for 4 years in a mental hospital for therapy...

they they transferred to different places as unlikely things happened... and as Wade continues his soul-searching... as he tried not to feed his "hungry ghosts" as his shrink said.

it was a really nice story...
it gave good insights about the real life...

you should read this too...
I've got no regrets in buying it.

got the book: Gravity by Tess Gerritsen



Finally, I have the copy of this book - hardbound, used, but still in very good condition.
I bought it from BOOKSALE since I got interested with the topic and I saw at the back cover hoe Stephen King commented -- oh actually praise, yeah... I think that's the word -- how the author effectively wrote this book. He even stated that she is better than Cook. I had read one Cook novel and it was really great! How much more about this one?
I'm really excited to finish Life Expectancy...
next target... Gravity, of course.

bought another one: Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz

again..
i walked inside BOOKSALE and looked for some good reads...
then at the bottom of the shelf at the back, a hard-bound blue book caught my attention... (i must admit that my criteria on buying a book are quite 'odd' in some ways, sometimes i choose the one in good condition, with a good illustration , with the publication that i trust, known author, New York Times Bestseller, International Bestseller, etc., or with a praise from another distinguished writer... - something like these...).

i picked it up and saw that Dean Koontz was the author...
the i read the overview and the plot seemed to be good.
furthermore, the book is really in good condition and was published just in the year 2004.
it seemed that the book wasn't even browsed by the original owner yet...




gonna start reading this one soon...

got new-bought super cheap books from BOOKSALE>>>

...after sending a friend a document through LBC SM Baguio, and after going to LBC Porta Vaga to receive some money (it was offline at SM)... despite the rain, i decided to walk some more to National Bookstore (back to SM...again..) to buy a refill for my Stabilo and to look for new books. after doing that, i went to the 3rd floor and scanned the books scattered on the floor at Booksale... and i saw Sir Popoy there (by the way, i also saw him at NBS).

i looked and looked and looked for books...
luckily, i was able to find good ones with definitely low prices.
i was abl to buy the following with less than Php 100.00 in all...



i think i got new (sort of) books to put my attention to...
happy reading...
