what happened to my photo a day challenge


okay, so i started doing the photo a day challenge a few months back and i was quite excited and a bit successful at first, but then things keep piling up at work and time off became sort of a luxury.  Thus, my photo a day challenge became a REAL challenge since i can't find the time to do it anymore :(

anyways, i'll try to make a comeback (i hope) or set up a new challenge for myself aside from trying to trim down my TBR list and my weekend cooking projects at home :P

till then!

October TBR List

My reading pace slowed down a bit the past two months, so what I am going to do for October is to set up a TBR list.  This might help me from getting distracted (by other books :P) and of course to catch up on my reading :)


Here's the list I came up with:

1.  I Am Number Four (Pittacus Lore) - I have been wanting to read this for quite a while now, but I haven't been able to grab a copy.  During the last MIBF at SM MOA, I got the whole set including The Lost Files :P  I am halfway through the first one and I hope to finish it this month.

2.  The Power of Six (Pittacus Lore) - being the OC that I am, I need to read this book right after the first one :D  Plus the fact that I read a number of good reviews for the Lorien Legacies.

3.  Creep (Jennifer Hillier) - since I read the synopsis at Amazon.com, I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this book.  I was really happy when I saw a paperback copy at NBS.  Its been a while since I read a psychological thriller, my last being Dark Places by Gillian Flynn, so I am really excited to read this.  A plus factor is when I learned that the author is a Filipina (or part-Filipina) and she had a book signing during the MIBF.

4.  The Best of Archie Book Two (Archie Comics) - yup, you read it right, Archie :D  I couldn't stop reading the first compilation so when I saw Book Two at Fully Booked, I just got to have it :P  I also plan on getting the Will you marry me Archie compliation hehehehe.  Sooo reminds me of my childhood :)

5.  An Abundance of Katherines (John Green) - i really, really want to read this book since I read the synopsis!  Though I don't have a copy yet, I am trying to get my hands on one hehehehe :) ... This just in, Fully Booked said they have this on stock! Yay!  will try to get a copy this weekend :D

6.  Fifty Shades of Gray (E.L. James) - due to the hoopla surrounding the book, curiosity got the best of me.  I just want to find out what the fuss is all about.  Some of my friends read all 3 books and yes, I was challenged, thus the inclusion in the TBR list :P

7.  The Night Circus (Erin Morgenstern) - I was intrigued by this book.  when I looked it up online, there were a number of good reviews.  I recently got copy from the MIBF and I can't wait to start :)

Sooo, that's my October list.  I hope I can read all of them or at least half of them before November comes in.
