www: 7/27/2011

It's the last Wednesday of July! Here's my share of WWW Wednesdays. It's actually another meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…


• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?


okay, here I go:


• What are you currently reading? 



The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold;


I've already watched the movie a year ago and when I saw this book at a nearest Booksale, I grabbed it and decided to read it for curiosity's sake.


It is the story of a teenage girl who, after being raped and murdered, watches from her personal Heaven as her family and friends struggle to move on with their lives while she comes to terms with her own death.






• What did you recently finish reading? 



The City of Ember - by Jeanne DuPrau; 


Another book adapted into a movie; and just like The Lovely Bones, it has been topbilled by the actress Saoirse Ronan. 


 The City of Ember is a post-apocalyptic novel about Ember, an underground city that is slowly running out of power and supplies due to its aging infrastructure.   The young protagonist, Lina Mayfleet, and her friend, Doon Harrow, manage to decode a message and follow clues left behind by the original builders of the City of Ember that would lead them to safety in the outside world.








• What do you think you’ll read next?


I'm planning to read another Meg Cabot creation, probably,  The Mediator Series featuring "Shadowland" and "Ninth Key"

Nicola And The Viscount by Meg Cabot


Like Apollo, the sun god, Lord Sebastian seared Nicola's soul. Just a single glance. That was all it took.

Nicola is in love! And not just with an ordinary man. Her heart has been captured by Lord Sebastian, better known as The God - the most handsome and dashing man who ever lived.

But are gods always quite as perfect as they are meant to be? Nicola is about to find out . . .

2nd quarter wrap-up

Yes, after 10 years of working, I finally come to rest, appreciate the view, relax and enjoy my family. Gosh, I never thought I've ever been busier in my life!
