I never had a Barbie or any Polly Pocket thingymajigs as a child. No, I wasn't into toy guns and race cars, either. I fell in love with books at the tender age of seven.
Reading Progress:
- Bible Stories
- Winnie the Pooh books (I remember this because I got two sets of the same series and I loved them both equally.
- Sweet Valley Kids
- Sweet Valley Teens
- Sweet Valley Jr. High
- 6. Sweet Valley University
- I know, I know. I never grew tired of Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield. I worshipped its author during my teen years.
- VC Andrews' books (Given by my sister-in-law. This was the first I got Booksale books and got hooked.)
- Danielle Steel, Nora Roberts, etc. phase (I was falling in love. This is where all my love advice came from.)
- Paulo Coelho, the author I will never outgrow. Started with The Alchemist (3rd year HS, i guess) and I have been a loyal reader since then. Buying a brand-new Coelho book is worth every penny.
- My foray into the wonderful world of international general fiction. (Murakami/Picoult/Garcia-Marquez,etc.)
- Philippine literature is full of wonderful and exciting stories. So underrated. Thank you, Prof. Aquino, for that Lit 21 subject! (Joaquin/Tiempo/Casocot)
- Of course, I get my Candace Bushnell/Sophie Kinsella fix once in a while.
Nowadays, the purse strings have to be tightened. It's perfect timing that Booksale Dumaguete opened its first branch in the University Town!
