Reading books have
been my safe haven lately. I jump into
the world of fictional characters to drift away from the wearing day to day, or
should I say, “night to night” activities at work. At least by reading books, I
feel like I am one of the main characters, and my life feels perfect as
everything falls in its right place.
I've been a
bibliophile ever since I was 8 years old, but unfortunately, my relationship
with fictional characters had ended "temporarily" as soon as I
entered college. I was overwhelmed with programming books and HTML's and I
decided that I need to focus a different language. After I graduated, I worked
right away and due to my demanding schedule, I never had the chance to read
novels again. Now that I almost have enough time and technology is
so great – (Thanks to iPad, my eBook reader and iPhone), I can already bring
ALL MY BOOKS wherever I go, and reader whenever I want to. Early this year, I
fully decided to make up the years I have missed by reading books. I’ve set a
goal that I should read 50 books in 12 months’ time, but oh boy – it’s pretty
obvious that I have missed reading so much, and as early as know, I’m already 116%
beyond the goal.
The typical books I
read are heart wrenching romances (I love the way how I cringe every time there’s
a sad part on the book. I also enjoy reading Angel books/paranormal romances
and dystopian novels.
I usually buy my
eBooks from a seller I found on Instagram, and when I say buy, I really hoard
books. I buy them as if there’s no tomorrow, and as if I could read all my books
in one seating. (but if I were given the chance and super powers, I think I’d
do that).
Here are some of
the books I have purchased from day 1 of my reading journey this year.
And if I ever get rich, or win the lottery, I won't just buy eBooks, but I'll buy REAL books! ♥
