Have you ever looked at your bookshelf and just smile, then suddenly feel emotional? I don't know, maybe too happy? Relieved? Comforted? It's just that whenever I see my bookshelf with my books on it, there's an automatic smile that will plaster on my face. It's like they're staring back at me and saying, "We'll stay here. We won't leave." 

 Ughhhh. It's just that today I felt so stressed because of my upcoming finals plus requirement completion. I was so antsy and grumpy the whole day, but when I went into my room and turned on the lights, I found myself staring at my bookshelf for the longest time and just tried to relish the feeling of being surrounded by books that never left my side through the years. Their mere presence was comforting, I actually felt better after staying infront of my bookshelf for a while. *sighs*

Anyway, I won't make this long, I just want to share the goodness of what books bring to my life :D

Gravity by Melissa West: Oh look at the date. Nov 1, 2013. I've been putting it off for 3 months and I am actually wondering if I would ever pick it up anytime soon. The thing is, this story was too slow. And according to my last update: "information. overload. bye. brain cells." I took the precautionary not to hurt more my brain cells and leave this for while. I remember continuing it again, but eventually put it off again. I am so sorry, I barely remember even the name of the characters.


Hemlock by Kathleen Peacock: I am so cloooose! So close to finishing this book. Just another half and I am done, but I don't want to pressure my self just for the sake of putting it as read and rating it as 2-3 stars. The story was eccentric for it tackles about the mainstream wolves, but it took the concept on a different level. What really ticked me off was the three main characters and the love triangle. They were really eye roll inducing. Pfft. Been putting this off for a month now, and just like Gravity, I don't know if I should continue or put this on hold for a lifetime.

Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes: This was an abrupt and stupid move. I didn't even plan on reading it, I just dl-ed it as e-book and read the first 5 pages. I don't want to DNF it since I haven't even meet half of the main characters and with the premise of the book, I just can't put this DNF. Out of all the three on-hold, I think this one has the greatest chance of being touched again. TAT

Actually I still have more books on-hold but didn't update it in my goodreads. I still remember that I started reading The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa until page 50 something, but the continuous torture of the love triangle made my heart ached I haughtily closed the book and threw it across the room (nah kidding I just closed it.) I like the story damn much, but when the romance that was supposed to be on the sideline of the events took too much of the pages, I easily get irritated. (Ugh, I am such a moody reader - need to discuss this soon) But hey, I am going to continue this soon! You betcha!

And another is Unchained by Jennifer Armentrout. Okay, this one, I was so close like 30 + pages left, but it's not making sense anymore so I thought I leave it for a day then continue it the other day, but what happened? You got it, I totally put it on-hold. There's just something about the story that was so shallow and predictable yet in a minimal pages I thought I could just finish it and get over with it.
