Recent interest: children's books. I'm going to try reading the "Mortal Instruments" series in order to see if its enough to hold my interest even at my age :-)
the last 2 days, I've been up very late since I read all three books ....but I started at the last one (City of Glass, book 3)...
earlier this morning, I completed the City of Ashes (book 2)....the City of Bones (book 1) I finished yesterday (hence I have bloodshot eyes haha!)
honestly? while I can understand tweenies and females liking to read Twilight...mas na-enganyo pa ako sa Mortal Instruments series!
The anti-hero is bad enough to make me hate Valentine's Day (well what do you know, thats the name of the guy)...but the redeeming moments of goodness I see in unexpected people made it a heartwarming reading for me.
There are also biting sense of humor and tongue-in-cheek scenes wherein characters (teenagers) spew out these lines that I find myself laughing at (ganon pala teenagers, I wasn't like that I think)....
Harry Potter is different, more magical for me...
Twilight - more on the romansa *wink*
the Mortal Instruments? - less magical but I like the conflict better...
lately I've noticed there are a lot of demons and angel-related stuff I've seen or read without any conscious decision to seek it out..
last month, I was reading Charlaine Harris' latest book (on the Southern Vampire series - "Dead in the Family")...which weirdly led to a couple of stories online on hellhounds (progeny of Cerberus)..then out of curiousity coz it was by its side... I checked Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter series (which was more into angels and archangels - Angels' Blood and Archangel's Kiss)....
I thought that was it...but last week, cable tv showed "Fallen" about...what else...angels..or rather nephilims to be more exact...
then this week, when I prowled Powerbooks, I bumped into a sign saying they recommended Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments...so I began reading..and here we go again with nephilims and angel's blood
how is it coming along Cath? whats the verdict?x

I'm looking forward to the 4th novel....esp as the focus will be on Simon, who is a funny guy...
