I can see myself in her, honestly. I’m not very surprised I’m getting letters like these and I can feel these won’t be the last ones. (Do I hear an uh-oh?) Mia and I got these wonderful books for Christmas from Ate Ida (who works at OMF Lit, a wonderful bookstore) and Khay. Yey! We [...]

2 Comments »read with caution: The Shack (W. Paul Young)
November 29th, 2011 Iris Another geeky post ahead, but if you are as curious as I am, go ahead. I bought this book at a National Bookstore sale and because it says it’s a national best seller I’m immediately a sucker. For good measure though, I think this is an interesting fictional read.

September 10th, 2011 Iris I loooove books. It’s as important as my hand spray alcohol or wet wipes that they have earned their rightful places in my (ever-increasing-in-size) bag. You never know when you’ll get stuck waiting in line or in traffic so it’s good to have one with you always. Yes, I’ve read books in traffic. Hindi pa [...]
Read this: The Dopple Ganger Chronicles
July 15th, 2011 Iris Talk about an illustrated book for kids (and kids at heart?). And when you say illustrated, it really is illustrated. Like a comic book.

December 17th, 2009 Iris when you read a Neil Gaiman novel, or graphic novel, or short story, or whatever, prepare to get lost. delightfully lost, that is. you can never tell which world you’re going to end up in, once you take that plunge in the first page. and when i was asked by a ‘Gaiman virgin’* if he [...]
Nerdness to the next level [ws]
September 1st, 2008 Iris Nothing beats holing up in your room, settling with a good book on your bed by the window on a weekend, and watching Mia over the pages of your Grisham novel. 2 weekends ago I bought 4 books (Septimus Heap Book 4 not included in the photo) and it was only last Saturday that I [...]
