I guess you could call me a librarian..
I like all kinds of books..mostly prefer non-fiction over fiction where the truth is often stranger..

My blog is at http://www.literatelibrarian.wordpress.com

I like to review the books I read and enjoy discussing them here on shelfari!

    You're reading multiple books at a time? My gosh, I can't imagine how. Haha. :) Well, I guess you're already expert on that, seeing your shelf. :) And looking at your shelf, I was really like WHOA! and I felt a little embarrassment for realizing how shallow my knowledge for books and authors. Anyways, It's never too late to discover more. I'm reading Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. Have you read that? It's pretty good though the earlier chapters were sort of dull and boring, FOR ME. :) Have a great day Selina. :)

    Hi Selina, is there any chance that you have copies of the books you've mentioned? There's a long queue on the library's request list and they're too expensive to buy. Many thanks! :)

    Hint: you're closer to the truth than you think, haha. Stay tuned. I'll lend you the book when I see you tomorrow :)

    Hi Selina! The ending is SHOCKING! "m not really happy about it. Francine Pascal has totally restructured the dynamics that made Sweet Valley a popular teen series in the 80s and 90s. I suppose she's trying to portray a storyline that reflects the relationships of contemporary Americans of today. Still, I'm a bit disappointed. I'll lend you the book if you want to read it.

    Hi, I've just read your review on Rice's 'Road to Cana' and 'Out of Egypt'. I was planning on reading these novels during my semester break and your review was very insightful.

    well, after i kinda took his side, he came back and really blasted you, i wrote him a nasty note and sent an email to bodrugen, asking him/her (i cant remember), to jump in.

    i mean, i disagree with everybody now and then, but the good doc was being disgustingly mean and insulting.

    who knows, maybe 20,000 leagues under the sea was really a secret propaganda piece for dawinism? :)

    Yeah, me too. I'm thinking of having my collection sent here from the Philippines. You can borrow 'Evil Elizabeth' if you're keen to read it.
