I only have 3 more letters to fill. The X and Y are the hardest, I think. I don't know if I 'cheat' by NOT counting the word "The" as "T" ... but I can change that entry if I find the title starting with "R" without the word "The" in front of it. Few of this title are M/M romance ( Read more... )

Since the last book-related post did attract some answers -- I figure I do another one, since, well, I'm more into books than movies anyway, since I have Kindle. This one is easy though. It's June 2012 already -- almost half year has gone bye.

Any upcoming releases that you are really looking for, from June - December 2012? Is it part of series ( Read more... )

Awhile ago, I read a very good self-published male/male romance novel. It has a superb story (in my point of view), even with all the over the top and unrealistic craziness (it's funny as hell). It gets me to think ... this is a self-published story, by a new author no less. Only cost US$ 2.99 for around 122.000 word counts. Sure, the cover might ( Read more... )

It's still Sunday in some parts of the world (even if it's already Monday morning in mine), but it still counts

What is the best/most favorite book ever been recommended to you?

Mine will return to the time when I was still in university, when a friend of mine told me that Harry Potter (back then, book four was already out) was one of the best, ( Read more... )

I had a blast on Saturday when I went to Kinokuniya for Traveler's Gathering and then had post-event dinner at Burger King with tomatoe18, arancia, and odayski. We spent hours scheming outrageous plan to get out from Indonesia to visit countries in Europe and U.S. since as Indonesian, getting visa to those places are ridiculously difficult. If I had an upset, it would be ( Read more... )

It's Sunday morning!! I actually have a report to work on. To be honest, this is an extra request from a client. They NEVER tell me to submit a full report. They only said a "summary" report, which I submitted last week. Then suddenly, yesterday, they sent this extra request. Of course, I told them that I'd need extra days to work on it, since ( Read more... )

Another Sunday, time for another book discussion:

You know how books sometimes release a teaser chapter. Usually if it's part of series. Do you READ them?
As for me, most often, I try NOT to read them. Why? First chapter doesn't always reflect the quality of the book. So sometimes teaser don't really give me anything. HOWEVER, if the first chapter ( Read more... )

I had the graduate program entry exam this morning -- from 7.30 AM to 12.30 PM. I think I did okay. I had trouble with the math section, I think I only answered about 10% of the total questions ... but I still had other sections like analogy, logic, and English. I hope those sections are resulting in good score *cross fingers*. Now, all I can do is ( Read more... )

LJ killed me yesterday (Sunday, my time); I couldn't access it. So I was forced to post by Sunday Book Discussion on Monday morning (my time). Hey, at least, it's still Sunday in some parts of the world:

If you have an account in Goodreads: what do you use Goodreads for?
I always post an opinion there, for a book I read. I found it's a good way to ( Read more... )

For today's topic: I know that it is common for you to recommend a book or take a recommendation from someone. However, I wonder about NOT recommending a book or decide not to read a book because someone tell you NOT to.

Have you ever recommending someone NOT to read a certain book? What reason usually you use? And vice versa
I know I have. I did ( Read more... )
