Yay! New Books!

I know it's not Wednesday, but what the heck, let's talk books. I got a package in the mail the other day, containing books. I always get happy when that happens. I finally get to read a book I've been longing for. This is what the package contained:

Secretary's Job? *Yaoi Fan Girl Mode Activated!* I read it right away, and I liked it. Takase was a little creepy for being so upbeat, and that time when he panicked because..... nah, not gonna spoil it....









Ouran High School Host Club vol.1. This is one of those I've been thinking to read since FOREVER! I've seen the anime, but I love books so... I will read it as soon as I've read....>>>>>









Asunder! Yay! Finally! I read The Stolen Throne and The Calling long ago, but for some reason I never really got around to Asunder. But now, I'm going to get my head down and read. Already read 100 pages. So far, I like it.









Watership Down. I remember seeing both the 1978 movie and the 1999 animated series, but I haven't read the book (yet). But I look forward to it.









Unfortunately, the book I looked most forward to reading didn't make it to my book package. Stone Spring ran out while they were packing orders that day, or something. Hate it when that happens. Oh, well, it'll probably show up later. In fact, I'm waiting for three books from my bookstore, and it has been some time now. Hope, hope, hope they show up, sooner rather than later, as one of them is Tyrant falls in love vol. 4, and I already have vol. 1-3 and 5. (Have to buy 6 and 7, soon.)


  Well, anywho, I'm gonna be bussy reading this week.

This week, we educate ourselves....

It's Wednesday again, and I'm thinking about books, as usual. I put in an order from a bookstore this Monday, but they have yet to pack it for me... slow progress there. But they did send my book subscription, being the fourth volume of Uraboku. Yay! Only problem is I have to fetch it at a store that is in the complete wrong direction from me.... damnation.

On Saturday, 8th September, it's the international day of literacy. So go to the library and pick up a book, I urge you. I'm reading En ö i havet at the moment, but if I finish before Saturday, I might go and borrow something new, that i have never read before. The time for books is right, autumn coming on, it gets dark earlier in the evening, all I miss is a fireplace. I'll settle for scented candles for now, until I get rich and can buy a house with a fireplace.

It is important to know how to read. Reading opens up a whole world. This world, and all the other worlds people have written about. If you can read for yourself, you can take your own stand on things. I believed in God. Until I read the Bible. A friend of mine didn't believe in God. Until she read the bible. To each their own.

I have been thinking about putting a widget on this blog to let others know what I'm reading, but I don't get how to do it. I'm often quite tech-savvy, but i think I've lost the piece of brain that knows how to do that. Programming game addons, no problem, managing the blog, not so much... Well.... anywho.

I have challenged myself to read 52 books this year. That's one a week. That should be no problem at all, but so far i have only read 14. To be fair, not everything ends up counting down that challenge. When I get new books i usually read them right away, but I don't write them down on my online bookshelves. Which means I probably read about 50 books already.

Anywho, don't forget to read a book on Saturday, even if you're not a reader. Go to your library, ask the librarian if they can recommend a book that's not to hard to read. That's what they're there for. I promise, they don't bite. And remember: Audio books COUNT!
