Well, after over a month here in the Philippines, this reading journal has become predictably dormant. That’s not to say I haven’t been reading. It’s been refreshing not having to adhere to someone else’s time table, so I’ve actually done a lot (or what, to me, seems like a lot) of reading.
What I’ve read while on holiday
Sadly, all that reading hasn’t amounted to any reviews due to a previously faulty internet connection (I’m writing this from my grandfather’s house who, up until a few weeks ago, was still getting by on dial-up) and the fact that I’ve been away from the computer. Surprising, I know.
In the time I’ve been here, I saw old friends and got tattooed, spent time with family members and tagged along at the boyfriend’s shows, visited Lucban, Quezon and sampled of the town delicacies, visited Baguio and met some really nice people during the band’s video shoot, and got tattooed again. In between all those things, I’ve read all the books above and written a total of two reviews. Not exactly a stellar record, but I am trying. I had made a vow to catch up on reviews and not start on any new books until I do, but Breaking Dawn will be released today, so it looks the list of books to review will be lengthened, not shortened.
Anyway, I hope whoever still happens to be checking on this reading journal has had and will continue to have a nice summer. I’ll be back to posting more regularly when I come back to the US. Until then, happy reading!

I’ve six books from that list of yours, read four of them already and hey, that’s still a lot of reading done considering that you’re on vacation!

Thanks for the visit, beastmomma and Lightheaded! It’s been such a fun vacation so far that it’s hard to find time to read more and start writing reviews regularly again. I’m still catching up on my feeds, too, so that’s a hell of a lot more reading to get through!
