Yes. I fall for Beth, too. Same sentiment as Lincoln’s. Beth is an understanding girlfriend. A kind-hearted co-employee. A sensitive friend. An articulate writer.
She has wit and beauty, too. And she is so funny.

I also feel for Eleanor. And admire Park for fighting for the love he found in her. Such a cute story about two misfits in love. Like the idea most when they met in a school bus and unexpectedly developed their friendship into a budding romance– still in that same seat inside that bus.

I like Levi the most. His kindness is so sincere. His smile, so genuine. And though I am past my thirties, silly as it may but I somehow wish I am in college all over again and would meet a Levi.

Yes, Rainbow Rowell. I so enjoy your books. And I would buy that Landline.
* This was me, two years ago. Very much into reading. Now, all I do is breastfeed and cook, clean the house and clean some more. Oh, I also have a few plants I take care of. I already read the Landline, too. Did not like it, though.
It’s a shame you can’t find the time to read. If it’s something you really enjoy make time. Even Mum’s need a little ‘me’ time every now and them. I tend to only read mindless ‘beach’ reads when I am holidays.
Yes, I really need to find time. Is reading blogs part of reading? I hope so because I read a lot of blogs in a day. /)
I salute you being a mom and finding time for other things. I came even begin with think how great it is to manage that. I think if you really enjoy doing anything, you should some action and move ahead with it 🙂
Thank you for the kind words 🙂
I think I know a solution already for you. AUDIOBOOKS! Oh boy, they are great. Imagine, while you are cooking you are listening. While doing everything else, you are listening. It’s not the same as reading a book though. But hey, a few pages a day can be done.
Great idea. I tried audiobooks and I cant seem to understand a thing. Hahaha. Slow. But yes, Love audiobooks. Thanks.
I don’t know any of these books. I’m curious for fangirl though haha. I want to read more as well. But life is so busy! But I enjoy having an ereader. Easy to take with me and remembers what I’ve already read!
Yes, e books are great invention! Sometimes though, I still miss flipping pages and yes, the smell of books.
Same here! I love to read but ever since i became a mom plus plus a lot of hats ive been wearing, i didnt get to read any books now.. I have a pile pero puro simula lng! I wish to sit and turn pages a lot, its always a great feeling to have time with boookkkss!
Yes, books. When i was still working, I used to drop by National Bookstore and hoard books. Now, same as you, those books are beginning to pile up and waiting for me to at least flip the pages.
Let’s both find time to read again! haha. Of course, there are modern ways to read too like audio books that are well-fitted for multi tasking. But the smell of every page as I flip it is also what I am missing. Then a cup of coffee with this book; that would be perfect!
Awww, I got sad learning that you haven’t read anything yet. I’ve heard of Eleanor & Park from a friend and got curious more since I read your post. Now, aside from reading my academic books, I wonder if I could still manage books like this. 😀 Hope you’ll be able to grab a book and read soon!
Thanks for the concern. Honestly, i made a program to somehow organize my so busy mommy life. Haha, with a baby to attend to, sometimes I prefer to sleep than read if i got an hour. Hopefully this program would work out.
yeah, reading can be a great pass time.. but with so much to do, you cannot even finish the first chapter of your favorite book, and reading in small chops can be sometimes frustrating. I not really fond of love stories like these, I love science fictions and also textbooks and encyclopedia..Lol! I tried to read once, but never did again.
I agree. I find it frustrating as well when I tend to not finish the book in one sitting. Haha, I would find it weird if I hear a guy appreciating love stories over science fictions.
I like audio books so much better. It’s simply because I’m lazy. When I’m laying in the sun, I love to hear some food for the brain, but I don’t have the patience to open a book and actually read. However I like to read blogs… =)
Hahaha. That is one thing I would want to develop. Listening to audio books. I used to listen to one but when my ebook reader malfunctioned, i forgot listening already. Good reminder to start anew. Yup, love reading blogs as well.
Although I’ve only read those books in e-books, I really enjoyed them! I hope you do too. Take some time off doing whatever you’re doing and read a book to relax 🙂
Yup, making time to do some reading. Ihihi. Thanks. And yes, enjoyed Rainbow Rowell’s stories.
