Went into a little panic mode in Nov, because my initial goal was 60 and I was only halfway past my 30 mark! Then I realised that I could edit my reading challenge to 40 and so I did. Haha. I feel that I shouldn't pressure myself to read any desired number of books. The reading challenge should be just a goal and I can modify it whenever I want. Reading should be enjoyable after all, and not simply just to hit quotas.

Library Loot : 5 to 11 Dec 2012

 Looks really interesting. It's short snippets of what goes on in the mind and the manics and depression of a bipolar person. I'm interested in mental health so I'm always looking for book on the topic.

Another interesting book. Bought another of his book Madness explained a-while back and it's a very good book. Borrowed this and hope that I will read it.

I loved Marian Keyes books and saw this on a blog and decided to borrow it just to admire the pictures. (Doubt I will get around to baking!)

Always a must for me to read Chrismassy books in December!

Completed this book from my school's library. Please check it out if you like reading about food and cooking as it features food from Singapore! There are a few chapters on her ancestor's food in China as well as Italian bread making. However it does get a little confusing for me as her stories about her parents and family do jump around a little... I would prefer it if her chapters were classified according to food or something. Read some reviews here

Finally my first proper loot post in a year. I have been too busy and not reading as much as I like!

++++++

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Marg from The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. If you’d like to participate, just write up your post-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky any time during the week. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries!

Read: A year of mornings: 3191 miles apart

A photography book between 2 person living 3191 miles away. These pictures ate taken in the morning, just that one moment.
