To satisfy my love for reading, I always save a part of my salary for buying inexpensive books and magazines. This allows me to purchase anything that goes on sale at National Bookstore, Booksale and Buy-the-Book. I’m not exactly a big fan of VC Andrews, it doesn’t matter to me who wrote the book, I’d buy literally anything that catches my interest. But I find her writing style entertaining and the words used are often simple, which means to say I don’t have to constantly check my dictionary for definitions 
I’ve also read Sheldon’s and Rice’s novels but theirs are not cheaply priced and I’m honestly limiting my monthly budget to 500 pesos.
We will have a 3-day vacation for the Holloween and all I want to do for the holidays is to read, read, read! I missed reading! Since I started blogging last October 2008, that hobby has been put aside. I used to read at least one novel per week, now it’s amazing if I’d finish a book in a month. But I’m really going back to reading. Not that I’m giving up blogging. I just don’t want to forget my first love.
My budget for this month went to “The Frank Family that Survived.” It’s a great story, I cried over the fact that it was based on a true story. It also made me want to read “The Diary of a Young Girl” by Anne Frank but that’ll have to wait. For now, I want to re-read all family series of VC Andrews.
kung malapit ka lang sana… pahihiram ko sayo yung anne frank a diary of a young girl ko dito. maraming beses ko na ring nabasa yun at makikita mo… halo halo mararamdaman mo. gusto ko rin writing style ni anne frank.. magaling sya. gusto ko sana basahin yung original na text kasi akala ko e sa german language sya… baka kako e maintindihan ko na at mas maapreciate ko writing style ni anne frank (the one i read was english version) pero yung original e sa dutch nakasulat at hindi sa german. toinks!
i love Anne Rice. Once you read her books, you’ll read the rest. haha. I love the Vampire Chronicles.
I miss reading too and just like you, since I got into blogging, reading took a backseat… especially now that I am having a hard time reading without my glasses. Before I could read a thick paperback for 8 hours straight on weekends [and without bathroom breaks]. Now, I can’t even read the back cover without dozing off.
