i'm an addict

it's been quite a while since i last read a good book. i may not look the part, but i love reading. i guess i could live alone on an island with a library of great books to keep me company. i think it runs in the family. well, i'm not sure who we got it from, but my older sister, as well as my older brother, loves reading as well.
i remember having a library card in marcopper's public library and i used to go there when my cousin's family was still living there. getting that library card was, for me, something of a priviledge, since we were not residents of marcopper and we only used to go there whenever there's a week off from school and only during school breaks (summer, and christmas breaks). the only time we stopped going there was when marcopper closed down.
i remember completing the hardy boys and the nancy drew collection, all the sweet valley books (yeah, starting from the sweet valley kids up until the sweet valley university), and then i also read books from r.l. stine.
when i was in high school, i started reading these really thick romance novels. i used to ask my brother to borrow from his friends (our school library didn't have such novels because it's too detailed) so i could read them.
when i was in college, my cousin introduced me to john grisham's novels. up til now, the only novels i haven't read from john grisham's collection are his newly released novels.
i stopped reading books/novels when i started to work. the first work i had, i was in the night shift, so when i got home, i would rather sleep than read. at times, if sleep won't come to me that easily, i would read until i fell asleep.
this tuesday, peepee and i went to dog city along e.rodriguez avenue to buy dog kibbles. they ran out of stock and it won't be back in their shelves until this saturday. we were running out of kibbles and wednesday is coding day, so we cannot buy kibbles until today. the kibbles at home is only good until wednesday, so we had to just go to this other store somewhere along tomas morato. the name of the store is pet studio.
good thing we went to pet studio. not only do they have the brand we wanted, they were also located right next to this used book store called bound. while peepee was inside petstudio haggling with the lady, i was outside Bound, looking for nice titles.
i found three novels (Fortune's Mistress, Deadly Rich, and Texas Heat). i just finished reading fortune's mistress last night, and i'm now starting to read deadly rich today. to anyone who loves reading as much as i do, but don't wanna shell out big bucks for a good book, try going to Bound. the three books i bought totaled 130Php! cheapskate!!
