The Pile

If you’ve never been the super organized type like me, managing an ever growing TBR (to be read pile) is like scaling Mt. Everest without any tools. You’ll surely perish. Now that I’ve seen the wisdom of cataloging the books I have yet to read (I envy Blooey’s system, actually..hehe), I thought it would be cool to share this with you:

So just wait a while for that. And oh, this is the most tagged post by far. Above image was taken last Friday night using a Canon Powershot A480. Camera and Lenovo S10 netbook c/o my sis. 😉

ONE BOOK LESS TO GO
Finished reading #5 The Beasts of Clawstone CastleEva Ibbotson yesterday as I was having my nails done at home. Don’t you just love being in the Philippines enjoying excellent home service of mani-pedi? If I could have but one wish, I’d ask for Manang Celsa, my fave manikyurista, to stay long in the business so I will never have bad nails ever. *wink*
