The Book Club Tag

What's in a book? Tough one... A book can take you to places you have never been before...a cheap way to travel to fantasy land or into the real world. A world / instrument where you can have your imagination run wild, your knowledge expanded and your "gray cells" challenged.

Number of books on the shelves: No time to count... I think hundreds na including those left in zamboanga. Includes non-fiction (biography, business books) and fiction (mystery, suspense, fantasy, romance, children's)

Last few books that I bought: To name a few: American Gods by Neil Gaiman; Saints and Sinners by Tom Holt; Harry Potter and the Half Bold Prince by J.K. Rowling;

Books I bought for /with my sisters: Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire, Girls in Pants: the third summer of the sisterhood by Ann Brashares and a number of weird but interesting children's book. I think the we close to 20 books in the last 2 weeks alone.

Book that I'm reading now: American Gods (last few pages)
