my summer book loot



my latest book stash is composed mostly of young adult reads. i find them refreshing -- the stories are short, but engaging. the plots may seem predictive and simple (but at times not!), but the twists and the characters add more zest to the reading experience.

i am actually looking forward to reading the hunger games series as i read a number of favorable reviews about the books =). dawn of the dreadfuls, one of the 2 only non-YA in my stash, is also an anticipated read as i loved pride, prejudice and zombies. the second non-YA in my stash is ilustrado by miguel syjuco, another book which gained numerous favorable reviews.

well, i hope to finish reading them during the summer and am looking forward to raiding the bookstores again after. actually, i am waiting for prince of mists by carlos ruiz zafon (i already reserved a copy in powerbooks megamall hehehehe) which will come out on may 14. (thanks aileen! =) ur the best! - - aileen is our trusty book consultant in powebooks, in short she is responsible for half of my book loot hahaha! )

sooooo, here's to a summer filled with books and numerous adventures! =) and all of these adventures i can experience without leaving the airconditioned confines of a cafe or the safe haven of my bedroom =).
