The 2009 reading list

Now that I'm done watching Seasons 1-3 of How I Met Your Mother, it's now time to resume my reading list. Here's how I'm doing so far:

The 2009 Reading List
1. The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
2. The Smart One and the Pretty One by Claire LaZebnik
3. Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin
4. A Place Called Here by Cecelia Ahern --> I need to read this already because this isn't my copy.
5. If You Could See Me Now by Cecelia Ahern
6. Like Water For Chocolate by Laura Esquivel
7. Ready for Anything: 52 Productivity Principles for Getting Things Done by David Allen
8. The Amber Room by Steve Berry
9. Doctors by Erich Segal
10. Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin
11. Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
12. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason by Helen Fielding

I'm currently reading Skinny Bitch, which is interesting and educational at the same time. Hopefully it will help me to start eating right and maybe convince me to join my officemates' Thursday Group, which aims to go jogging every Thursday at Ultra.

Because really, I'm probably the laziest person I know when it comes to exercise. I think I get bored with anything that needs a routine. I always think of ways to get some exercise, but never get around to doing them. So maybe, hopefully, reading this book will convince me to get off my lazy butt and get healthy.

Next on my list should be my boss' copy of A Place Called Here, just so I can return it already. I'm on the lookout for books that will form my next reading list after this one, like Live a Little by Kim Green, The Alexandria Link by Steve Berry, Be Careful What You Wish For by Alexandria Potter, and a whole lot of books I'm bound to discover on my next trip to the bookstore.

What's on your reading list this year?

  1. I loooove Like Water for Chocolate! That's one of my favorite books, and it has my quote, too :) I plan to read Eat, Pray, Love soon, because I think that's the kind of book I have to read at this time. Hmm, and South of the Border by Haruki M. By the way, I fell completely in love with Norwegian Wood, thanks so much for that! Tho I left my copy in Singapore :/

  2. I'm glad you really liked Norwegian Wood, I actually researched on what Murakami book would be best for a first-timer, and it came recommended all over Amazon. :) I've heard good things about Eat, Pray, Love as well. Let me know if it's as good as everyone says. :)
