my october good reads

Nothing beats a book you can count on in any weather, a music player with a bearable memory, and a cup of coffee. Come to think of it. I haven’t listed the books I have finished reading and rereading last October. Well, here are a few reads I have finished.

1.       Harry Potter – the entire series. Wow man! I so love J.K. Rowling. Haven’t stopped reading it since I first had a copy of the book. Now that I have the ebook version, there’s no way, I am ever going to stop rereading.

2.       Septimus Heap: Magyk- I saw copies of the Heap series in bookstores and a lot of people raved about it being a substitute to Harry Potter. But nah, the original green-eyed wizard is still the best.

Here are some I have started but not finished:

1.       Inkheart- the introduction was good but I felt being dragged at the middle of the story. I’m still thinking of finishing it though.

2.       Pendragon- have started reading an interesting first chapter but I was engrossed in Harry Potter I wasn’t able to continue reading it.

3.       The Andromeda Strain- after immersing myself in the magical world, I thought I needed something to pull me back to reality… at least a more realistic plot would do. But I was intimidated by the medical terms…I’ll get back to this when I’m already in the Crichton mode.

4.       Lupin- while reading it I thought I should have Sherlock Holmes nearby so unless I get my hardbound copy of Sherlock Holmes back, I am not going to touch Lupin for a while.

5.       Twenty Years After- Alexandre Dumas, had he still been living, would kill me for putting this book down in exchange of Harry Potter…haha…But I plan to finish the book. After twenty years…hehe

6.       A Christmas Carol- heaven knows how I want to finish this book before Christmas.

I don’t have plans of what books I’m going to read this month but most probably I’ll get back to the books I have started to read. And add a book or two to new books I’m going to start devouring.
