Coraline by Neil Gaiman with Illustrations by Dave McKean

When you were a child, did you ever wonder if there is someone out there like you? With the same parents as yours, same house you have, same life you’re living in some parallel universe? In this book, Read more… Coraline by Neil Gaiman with Illustrations by Dave McKean 

Mirror Mask by Neil Gaiman with Illustrations by Dave McKean

I have actually read and seen both the book and the movie. I was so gripped with the whole plot and the artistic production and illustration of the book( & animation of the movie)   that I literally glued my eyes to pages until I finished the book (& the film).

The Undead Series Books 3, 4 & 5

This is the third, fourth and fifth book of the Undead Series by Mary Janice Davidson. I’ve already shared with you the first two, Undead and Unemployed & Undead and Unwed, a while back and I keep coming back for more. I collect her works since they’re just so surreal and hilarious. Although sometimes, it makes me think that perhaps, there  really are undead people out there living for centuries amongst us. Creepy, huh?

The Secret by Rhonda Byrne

To give you a brief background, it actually summarizes all the teachings I have learned from Stephen Covey (8^th Habit), Andrew Matthews (Being Happy), Chin Ning Chu (Thick Face, Black Heart), Paolo Coelho (The Alchemist) and the Holy Bible and all those other self-help books I’ve read at one point or another. Simply put…

The Peter Principle by Dr. Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull

The Peter Principle is one of the oldest books we have on our bookshelf. It was published last 1978 and Peter and I can’t remember exactly if the copy we have brought to our home is mine or his since both his folks and my grandpa owned one when we were little. The pages are brittle and brown with age but the words of wisdom inside transcend time and space.

The Undomestic Goddess

How I wish I could be someone like Samantha Sweeting (maybe in a parallel universe). You see, at twenty-nine, she has a very high-powered career as a top lawyer in London. She has no social life whatsoever; her mom and brother don’t even bother to show up on her birthday, thus no home life to speak of; and all she cares about really is to get ahead and become a partner at their firm.

The First Assistant by Clare Naylor and Mimi Hare

The First Assistant is one of those books I bought at TRINOMA back in June. It’s just now that I finished reading it, thanks to the horrendous traffic earlier at SLEX. The Human Walrus blogged about it and I truly share his sentiments. The novel was a fun read for me.

Like The Flowing River by Paolo Coelho Part I

Hi guys! I’m still quite exhausted from the house transfer, unpacking of our stuff and voluminous paper work and quizzes I have to contend with in MDP but I couldn’t resist blogging. This post has been in draft mode for almost a month already so it’s easy for me to publish it. I’m sort of “stealing” our neighbor’s wifi so I still can’t fully blog. Peter still hasn’t applied for smartbro… hopefully, tomorrow he’ll be able to take care of it. So for now, enjoy the first part of my bookworm regarding one of the works of one of my fave authors…

Batman Year One by Frank Miller & David Mazzuchelli

Yeah, I know I said I was going to read Civil War. I started it some time ago but when I saw Batman lying around the living room, I picked it up and began reading the story of Batman’s origins.

KINGDOM COME by Mark Waid & Alex Ross

I finished reading KINGDOM COME, a comic book by DC, about the catastrophic battle between all superheroes of the DC world (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Original Red Tornado, Lady Marvel, King Marvel, Aleea Strange, Midnight, The Whiz, Captain Comet, Bullet Man II, Brainiac’s Daughter, Bullet Girl II, Power Woman, Aqua Man, The Flash, etc…). It’s the greatest Super Hero Epic of tomorrow! As such, it is set in the future, when Superman is around 50 yrs old or so, having retired from his superhero duties due to him losing his faith in humanity.
