I mean The Improbable Theory of Ana and Zak is cute guys but can’t deny that it has some misogynistic (and homophobic?) moments.

December 12th: A book recommended to you

The Improbable Theory of Ana and Zak by Brian Katcher

This was recommended to me by a friend from uni. It was a fun read about two characters, Ana and Zak, going to rescue Ana’s brother from a convention and all the trouble they get into along the way. Not the most diverse read ever but it still dealt with some interesting issues about family dynamics.

The 2 Month Haul

So for the last 2 months (Feb-March) I did little to no reading, since I’m still in the middle of Rant (Chuck Palahniuk), but instead decided to hunt down some books! Would like to thank the people whom I bought the books from!

Librodega Pages and Spines Bookshop Camille Manzano Pamalla Gallego

the other books I got from NBS!

Hector and the Secrets of Love I’ve finished the Happiness one, and I was waiting for the time/moment/opportunity/whatever to buy the Love one, but I wanted to buy the cover similar to what I got. So when I saw it, I instantly messaged!!!

The People of Sparks And I never even had the first book!!! But I did saw the movie of the first book, and heard the hype it got. So before I read this, I have to wait for the first book (of course with the similar cover)

One Day I wasn’t sure If I had this (and I though I already had it) but I don’t know... I still bought it. Wasn’t even sure if I read it. what i’m sure of is I NEED TO READ IT.

Nerve Saw the movie the day before I bought it. 

Naomy and Ely’s No Kiss List Because i’ve got my eyes on this for a long time now, and it’s a Levithan.

The Improbable Theory of Ana and Zak Because It reminds me of Sheldon and Amy <3 Love through Science. Or so i’m thinking. HAVEN’T READ IT no SPOILS PLS.

Replica The layout of the book is very VERY intriguing.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close One of the books that I’ve always got my eyes on. Finally bought it.

The Book Of Lost Things To complete the John Connoly books!!!!!!! Finally I can read them!!!

Emmy and Oliver I wanted to read this since it came out. Still wanted to read it.

The Sealed Letter Because I watched The Room (though already have the book, haven’t read it yet either so here’s my chance)

Agatha Books Because I love classic hardbound books like this and had one so no reason not to try and collect them!!! if you have one let me know PLS. :) --turns out I already have one of the books so I’ll add that to my ‘to sell’ books :D

Zhang Books Purchased this thinking that it’s Amy Zhang, but it’s not :) still I want to give the books a try. 

So that’s about it! Additional books to read this year!!! Here’s to me reaching that 35 books on Goodreads!!!
