Book Freak

I, with the help of two other book loving officemates, created a book club. We called it Book Burners (I know how nerdy can Orlee get?) and we get to decide what books to read together every month and we get to discuss book stuff over the company e-mail (please don’t tell our bosses).

One time, I opened up to them about how weird I get with my books by creating a list:

 

  1. I don’t read the summary at the back (kapag referred ok na ako di ko na babasahin yun) I wont check kung ilang pages lahat ng book not until I read upto page 100. 

     

  2. I insert bus tickets, receipts, movie tickets, concert tickets sa book kung nasaan na ako nagbabasa at the time of purchase ng item. 

     

  3. I don’t use traditional bookmarks. I use pictures, leaves, memo 

     

  4. Tapos pag may nagregalo sa akin ng bookmark, I will use that bookmark on the book that I am currently reading tapos di ko na tatanggalin yun dun kahit i-file ko na. 

     

  5. Sa umpisa ng book I write kung kelan ko sinimulan and time. Maglalagay rin ako ng mga comments kung sino nag refer, san ko nabili, ano ginagawa ko at that moment, saka ano yung previous book na tinapos ko. Nakasulat din dun kung pang ilang book na yung binabasa kong book for the year. Pag bookburner book nga nakalagay din kung pang-ilan at sino ang nag suggest. Hehe. 

     

  6. Sa last page naman ilalagay ko kung date and time kung kelan ko natapos saka kung ano reaction ko sa book.

 

Estella, one of my co-Book Burner founder, couldn’t help and sent a reply, “ADDICT!” and commented on each item.

 

 

1.      I DO, DUN KO NGA MALALAMAN KUNG GUSTO KO YUNG LIBRO EH. HEHE

2.      HINDI KO GETS.. PARA NAASSOCIATE MO KUNG ANO HAPPENINGS SA LIFE MO WHILE READING THAT BOOK?

3.      AKO RIN, SOMETIMES, I DON’T USE BOOKMARK, TINUTUPI KO LANG SA CORNER PAG DKO GUSTO YUN LIBRO. BUT NOW, BALAT NG FERRERO GAMIT KO… HEHE

4.      HOW WEIRD… MAY NAGREGALO SAKIN BEFORE NG BOOKMARK FROM HOBBES AND LANDES, WORTH 495, AKO YUN NANGHIHINAYANG.

5.      (WEIRD!!!!) (BAKIT PA???HEHE) (NERD!!) SO, ANG DAMING SULAT SA BOOKS MO? PARANG JOURNAL NA YUN DATING? HEHE

6.      SO JOURNAL NGA? HEHEHE
