| Yehey! I'm so happy I completed my goal, two weeks and 5 days before the year ends. |
I'm so happy. 60 books, hmm not bad for me. I never really had reading goals before. I usually read books whenever I want to escape from reality (trust me, this means always) and read another if I have spare time. I have a tendency to repeat the book over and over again (*ehem* Norwegian Wood).
This year, its different! I challenged myself to read more. I really want to change my goal to 100 but, I have doubts! haha! Don't worry next year, I might challenge myself to 80-100 books.
And I still have 3 books in my currently reading list and I just hope I could finish it before the year ends. :)
These are the books that made my goal possible:
My Top 5 Favorites:
1. SPUTNIK Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami - no doubt, hahaha!
2. Before Ever After - Samantha Sotto
3. Stardust - Neil Gaiman (my first time to read a Gaiman book! I promise to read more of his books next year)
4. The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky
5. After Dark - Haruki Murakami
The runner ups:
*The Girl who was on fire - different authors talk about The Hunger Games. TEAM Katniss! Yey!
*Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - Rachel Cohn and David Levithan
* Truth About Forever, Just Listen and Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen
* The Graveyard Book - Neil Gaiman
My feel good books:
of course, from my favorite! Meg Cabot -- I laughed with her at Queen of Babble, can't wait to read the sequels.
Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List - Rachel Cohn and David Levithan
Chain Reaction - Simone Elkeles
Anna and the French Kiss - Stephanie Perkins
Ligo na u, Lapit na me - Eros Atalia
Beastly - Alex Flinn
Lessons, lessons, lesson:
Actually, all those books taught me life lessons, new things, new ideas and gave me wider imagination...
Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress - Susan Jane Gilman
Ligo na u, Lapit na me - Eros Atalia (haha!)
Lock & Key & Just Listen - Sarah Dessen
Before I Fall - Lauren Oliver
What I talk about when I talk about running - Haruki Murakami
I expected too much:
South of the Border West of the sun - Haruki Murakami (I always wanted to read this book, its kinda boring but I still like it.. maybe I just expected for something more, idk!)
The Vampire Diaries book 1 - I love the tv series sooo muuuch but I don't know what happened. LOL
Delirium - Lauren Oliver
Cried so much (goooosh!):
The Time Traveler's wife - Audrey Niffenegger ... Need I say more?
I can't remember how many times I cried with Sarah Dessen's books.
Dear eyes, really really sorry but I can't help it! :)
I also want to share this photo that I saw in my tumblr dashboard,
