#bookworm's problems

[rawhan]

No... I don’t need more books.

I¨m staring on three big piles of books I bought or pulled from our home library. And keep adding books to my ordering list in e-bookstore.

instead of exercising, I spent last ten minutes by browsing a bookstore.... way to go, way to go...

[rawhan]

I hate only one... or two... things about new books. Cracking spine and the prize. Both of those things made me cringe.

the real question is: how should I arrange my books, by colours? by genre? in alphabetical order? or maybe by size?? idk it’s very stressful???

TERESA AND I ARE SERIOUSLY ARGUING ON WHO GETS TO BUY LOOKING FOR ALASKA

Teresa and I are both bookworms but I believe that I read more than her since I have time and she is a busy bee. Our love for books are the same, I think. And though we both have not read any books by John Green, we are fighting over looking for alaska. I read so many reviews and recommendations here in tumblr and I have read the first chapters of some of his books just so I could know why everyone loves him. I was not disappointed, of course! I usually don't read books like looking for alaska. Judging from the summary, I think it's a romance novel and I do not read romance novels. My type is more on science fiction. Well, really just dystopian fiction. They're awesome. Back to topic! (Why is it that I always do that? Go off topic and stuff) I would read looking for alaska. I have mentioned before how our bookstores suck and how they usually do not stock/have books that I want and they finally have a John Green book on their shelves and I am grabbing the opportunity! It's not that there is only one book in the bookstore and Teresa and I are fighting over it. We just don't want to waste money, you know? If I buy a book, I let Teresa borrow it. If she buys a book, she lets me borrow it. If we both buy the same book, it's going to be a waste of money since we won't read new material then. It would be much better if we have different books.

I told her that I found the book first in the bookstore and that I remember telling her that I saw looking for alaska in NBS after we bought the house. I remember blogging about it. It was just on the tags. I remember it now. And she has only seen the book today. So since I found it first, I should get it. She then told me that she found out about John Green first (HOW WOULD YOU KNOW???) and other points.

The whole debate was entirely on caps lock. It was so hilarious. It ended with Teresa telling me that she would allow me to buy the book only if I would buy it after the christmas party and I agreed. I feel guilty now.

I would like dorky conversations/debates like this again.

CITY OF BONES, DELIRIUM AND THE UGLIES SERIES

ASDFKLHASDFKJHA. I WANT THE BOOKS. WHY DO I NOT HAVE MONEY TO BUY THE BOOKS??? I don't want to read it in pdf. My eyes hurt and I am trying to avoid the computer as much as I can because I am afraid of having to wear glasses (Though it is so obvious that I am failing). I also starting to buy books. I did pledge to read the printed word. They are so awesome than pdfs . I would save for them. Seriously. I would even go as far as packing my own baon...okay, that's impossible because I am very lazy and forgetful but, I could try? ALKSDFHJALKHSD. I've been craving (Wow. Cool choice of word) to read the books for weeks. I should really buy at least one right now. I could probably ask my dad? Ask for help since I have savings (but it is clearly not enough to even buy one book)? Ugh. Why am I not a frugal person? I could probably have a lot of money now...though even if I suddenly become frugal, that would mean that I do not want to spend. Okay. Brain hurts. Move on.

I would save it. I JUST HAVE TO. Hmm, maybe as my reward? I did tell my dad that I wanted a reward for my supposedly 'high' grades. "Dad, how about books? They are educational...?". Now, how could he not buy me a book if I used the word educational and books in a sentence? 

I am now an evil and bad daughter. I JUST WANT THE BOOKS, OKAY?? I'M GETTING DESPERATE (not exactly at the stage of desperation yet so I am not willing to do silly dares for a book at the moment). Oooh. I'm in my selfish mode. MUST CHANGE.

I'm going to sleep before my head hatches up an evil, mastermind plan or something. Good night everybody!

I BOUGHT DIVERGENT ON SUNDAY

*Squeal!!!!*

I was planning to buy City of bones at first because I saw it before and it was very thick. And since it was a sunday and my father had finally agreed to buy me a book after a lot of begging (He only said yes when I told him I'd put my savings in too) and I was going to go back to school on wednesday (because we have our fiesta here on monday...and I think tuesday. There was some holiday on tuesday. I just forgot because as you all know, I am a very forgetful person and I don't really care about the holiday's name so I did not find out what the hell happens on that day. All I care about is that there is no school on that day so...to the holiday on tuesday, thank you for existing.). I wanted something to read on sunday. I really just wanted to do something. I was planning on maybe watching a movie with my friends but I don't like the movies that are being shown right now so that option is out. And I really, really wanted to read city of bones on that day. Like almost, I WOULD DO ANYTHING JUST GIVE IT TO ME. I AM DESPERATE, feeling/craving.

When I was in the bookstore to buy city of bones, I could not find it. It is hiding from me. I saw every book there is in the mortal instruments EXCEPT city of bones. I was like SERIOUSLY? RIGHT WHEN I HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY A BOOK, YOU SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR. IT'S LIKE YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE BOUGHT!?! I was looking for it all over the bookstore. It was not freaking there. I was seriously planning on going to another mall so I could check their other branch (We only have one decent bookstore in every mall. WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, MALLS HERE IN OUR CITY? DO YOU NOT WANT TO SATISFY YOUR CUSTOMERS WHO ARE BOOKWORMS??? YOU ONLY HAVE ONE GOOD BOOKSTORE?!?!). Plus the mall is pretty far from our house. So while I was looking for the book, and getting very frustrated, something caught my eye. I looked at it and then the shock like overwhelmed me. I did not expect to find divergent! National bookstore does not stock the books that I want so I did not really expect to find divergent. It was there! 

It felt like fate really or destiny. It felt really right for me to buy divergent. It was like God did that on purpose. Like seriously, it was like one big religious moment where I realized that I know what I want to do in life after I read the book. (I would not tell you. It is a secret until it is not a secret). 

So, I haven't posted anything for a while because...I JUST HAD MY EXAMS. MY BRAIN IS FRIED FROM ALL THOSE TERMS AND CHUCHUCHUCHU AND I NEEDED TIME TO CHILL AND NOT DO ANYTHING FOR A WHILE UNTIL MY BRAIN IS FUNCTIONING AND DOES NOT FEEL LIKE IT IS GOING TO EXPLODE. I've been keeping to myself after the exams. I strayed away from technology. I turned off my cellphone and such...except the laptop. Come on, Tumblr is too cool to not check every single day.

I'll post pictures of the book in the next post. I am just too proud I have the book.

I WANT TO READ DIVERGENT AND CITY OF BONES

I just read the first chapter of divergent and city of bones online. AND I WANT IT. I don't want an ebook. I WANT THE BOOK. NOT STUPID EBOOKS (I only read ebooks when I'm really desperate). Everyone keeps saying that they are really good books (And I can totally agree because I read a few quotes that I always find in my dashboard and they sound really awesome.). I WANT TO READ THEM NOW. Oh my gosh. I have this...this craving or something. I really WANT to read a book right now. I don't know why. It's like when a person really REALLY wants a certain food when they're PMS-ing but mine is a book instead of food. How effed up is that? That's so freaking weird. What the hell? My savings is not enough to buy the city of bones and I have yet to look for divergent in our sparse bookstores (WHY DO THEY NOT STOCK THE AWESOME BOOKS? THEY NEVER HAVE THE BOOKS THAT I WANT). My savings right now is a hundred pesos which is not a lot since the city of bones is like 425 pesos. I KNOW IT'S SMALL. I GET HUNGRY, OKAY? SO OF COURSE I BUY A LOT OF FOOD IN RECESS...AND LUNCH! (Damn mcdonald's. Why do your mcflurry and fries tempt me so much?!? I had no choice but to buy it because my brother was stopping by there! NO CHOICE, I TELL YOU). I could probably ask money from my dad. I'm sure he won't give me but...I could try! I would seriously make sure that I could get the city of bones this weekend/week. Then I'll add one more series that I would really love. I would really try. I really want to read a book right now. REALLY REALLY WANT TO. *Sigh* A book worm's problem. Would want to read but do not have the money to buy the book (If the book is not in the library). Argh! I don't care. I'll get my hands on a book soon... (Insert evil laugh here).

P.S; Does divergent's summary sound similar to the hunger games? I read a review/summary. It sounds really awesome. If it even reaches half the awesomeness of the hunger games, I would really love the book.
