Ratz | 690 comments I like books that features playlist or song tracks in them. Right now I'm enjoying tracks from Forever Black by Sandi Lynn and of course my fave fifty shades sound track.

Katherine | 610 comments Ratz, that eye thing you need to get looked at, all joking aside. Thought I had a bloodshed eye last year and ended up in hospital for 3days. Nearly lost my sight in one eye.

Oh, thank you for the concern. How's your eye now? Does it bother you in anyway? I haven't had my eyes checked yet, but I will soon. I'm wearing glasses but lately I find my vision really blurry and cloudy, sometimes even sort of double. Maybe my glasses doesn't fit me anymore. I spent long hours in the computer and in reading but now I try to cut on my time. Thanks again I really appreciate it :)

Sophia | 60 comments I'm strange when it comes to music - when I like it I like it, but I don't like very much of it and, to be honest, I don't listen to music all that much. Except for the crappy pop station that's constantly playing at work.

So I've never really even considered something like compiling playlists for the books I'm reading/have read. It sounds like an interesting idea, though.

Also, eye doctors are good.

Too much reading I guess, has strained my eyes.
Well, book authors of some novels today has come up with soundtracks for their story. I've seen other books with soundtracks too...

Alondra Miller Hello, Ratz! Nice corner, and nice choice of books. It is so true that there is no such thing as too many books... especially after hitting a GoodWill thrift store! I easily come home with 10 - 15 books each time. :)

Didn't even know such a thing existed...music w/ books! A great idea...I just finished Fifty Shades Darker, I'll have to check out the playlist.


message 32: by Katherine (new)

Katherine | 610 comments Ratz, eye thing is good now. High probality of it happening again but I know know the symptoms so if it happens again I know to go straight back to the eye clinic. Just never realised how quickly something can happen. Sore eye on Monday (thought it was just strained), in hospital by Thursday. 3 months for me to get the all clear.

Ratz | 690 comments I'm not one who keeps count of books I've read, but today I just decided, hell, why not try, so i looked at my read shelf list and here are the books i've read beginning January 2013. I don't have goals, though as to the number of books to read for this year.

1. How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You by Matthew Inman
Rating: 5/5

I enjoyed this comic style cat book, because I love cats. Keep on looking for those signs with my cats lolz :)

2. The Holiday Hoax by Jennifer Probst

Its for the holidays but I've read it January. Its a short read, typical cheesy love stories for the holidays but I liked it. I read it because I've enjoyed other books from this author.

3. Just Gotta Say by Laura Kaye
Rating: 1/5

I thought this will be a good read because I've enjoyed Hearts of Darkness from the same author, but it turned out I didn't.

4. The Proposal by Katie Ashley
Rating: 4/5

I love the story, i think i'm just a sucker for anything romantic, swoony and cheesy. I actually included it in favorite shelf list.

5. The Proposition by Katie Ashley
Rating: 4/5

This is book 1 in the series. (1.Proposition, 2. Proposal). Of course its also a favorite

6. Doukakis's Apprentice (Harlequin Presents, #3021) by Sarah Morgan
Rating: 3/5

Rating: 4/5
This book is one of my favorites. Waiting for the release of other books from this author.

Rating:5/5
This should have come first before the proposition and proposal but instead i've read it last.

17. My Stubborn Heart by Becky Wade
Rating: 5/5
My first time to read a christian romance novel and enjoyed it. Another book from this author is in my tbr list. One of my faves too.

18. Always on My Mind (The Sullivans, #8) by Bella Andre
Rating: 5/5
Considering to read other books from this author.

19. Beauty and the Sheikh (A is for Alpha, #1) by Shelli Stevens
