Hello August!

It's August and it's officially the first day of the Pinoy Reading Challenge 2012. I'm extremely excited to start this challenge despite the fact that I have not finished my current read yet. But I'm hoping that I'll be able to finish Whitney, My Love today.

To be honest, I still haven't bought the books for the Pinoy Reading Challenge. Simply because I still don't know where to start. Maybe I'll start easy by reading the Trese series. Then follow it up with a book written by Rizal or one of are national artists. Looking forward to perusing the shelves of the major Manila Bookstores tonight.

Mood: Giddy Excitement ;p
