Know Me Better

"Know Me Better" is a meme hosted by Kathy at I Am A Reader, Not A Writer. Each week she will pick 5 questions off her author interview list and invites bloggers and readers to answer them. You can add your link or find a list of the  participants here. If not, It would be great if you could share your answers in the comments section. 


If you could meet one person who has died who would you choose?
Hmm...Probably Roald Dahl. He seemed like such an interesting person.
  
Chocolate or Vanilla?
Chocolate. Preferably in liquid form, piping hot. Or the dark variety...with almonds. :)

What do you do in your free time?
Read! Mostly books and blogs. Or have a Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, or some Hanna Barbera or Looney Tunes cartoon viewing marathon.

What movie are you looking forward to this year?
Actually there's two, Hugo and The Adventures of TinTin:Secret of the Unicorn.

Spontaneity or Planning Ahead?
Planning Ahead for sure. I can't stand being unprepared. I'm a bit OC that way. :P

    Hugo is the movie adaptation of Brian Selznick's The Invention of Hugo Cabret. TADoTT is based on the comic book of the same name by Herge.
    The Help movie seems to have a pretty amazing cast. I would want to get a chance to see it as well. Thanks for dropping by! :)

    TADoTT is going to be out soon I think this December if I'm not mistaken. Hugo will be out this November. Both movies have big names behind them. Spielberg and Jackson for Tintin, Scorsese for Hugo so I have high expectations. Thanks for visiting Kathy!:D

ABNKKBSNPLAKo by Bob Ong (REVISITED)

"Bakit namamalo si Miss Uyehara? May mga notebook bang lumilipad? Bakit masakit sa ulo ang Mafhemafics? Ano ang lihim sa likod ng pagkakaibigan nila Pepe at Tagpi? Bakit may mga taong nakapikit sa litrato? Masarap ba ang Africhado? Sino si Tigang? Bakit may mga classroom na kulang ang upuan? Masama bang mag-isip nang malalim habang naglalakad? Saan ang Ganges River sa Pilipinas? Bakit may mga umaakyat ng overpass pero hindi tumatawid? Sino ang webmaster ng bobongpinoy sa Internet?" I remember having read this book sometime during the end high school or the start of my college years. I did not think much of this book back then. Now, re-reading it as a legitimate (ehem) adult, I found that my appreciation for it has increased.   The power of this book lies in nostalgia. The shared experiences of student life, as humorously related by Bob Ong. And I realized that these experiences, more or less, never really varies THAT much from era to era. The 70s born P...

Instead of Three Wishes by Megan Whalen Turner

Image
Image from Goodreads The first time I've heard of Megan Whalen Turner is through Chachic of Chachic's Book Nook . If you follow/frequent her blog, you'd know that she is a huge fan of Whalen's The Thief Series. Being a fantasy fan myself, I've put in The Thief in my (very long) book wish list. Since, I haven't really gotten around acquiring The Thief just yet, when I saw her name on this book I thought it would be a good chance for me to get acquainted with Whalen's writing style. Instead of Three Wishes contains seven short stories, all depicting the existence of magic in everyday lives. 1. Plague of Leprechaun - Tells the story of how a small idyllic town of North Twicking is shaken up by the news of a Leprechaun Sighting, bringing in an influx of tourists coveting the bag of gold that a leprechaun brings. All this chaos proves to be too much for Mag Malleaster, the local innkeeper, and to Roger Otterly, a struggling painter commissioned to come up w...

Top Ten Series I'd Like To Start But Haven't Yet

Image
Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. More info HERE . My list includes the series that I am most interested in starting but haven't yet due to any or all of the following reasons: There are quite a number of other series that I have already started on and thus must finish first before starting any new ones; Overflowing TBR as it is; Not enough cash; Not enough guts (horror genre); And or mood swings.  1. The Lion Hunters Series by Elizabeth Wein - I found out about this through Chachic of Chachic's Book Nook , whose taste in books I find closely similar to mine, so I have a feeling I'll adore this book just like most of the titles she recommends to me. 2. A Song of Fire and Ice Series by G.R.R. Martin - This was huge last year, with the HBO series starting all the buzz. So, I am hoping to jump into the bandwagon someday. Besides I haven't had any epic high fantasy since LOTR. 3. The Ender's Series by Orson Scott Card - They say...
