I'm a self-proclaimed bookworm, I think I always say that. I prefer the solitary confines of my room (or a coffee shop) over the loud noise and club music in a bar. There was a never day that would pass without me buying books for pleasure reading. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that my funds have been running low due to my incessant and uncontrollable book purchases. B have long ago warned me about this, but I ignored it nonetheless. So for this year I resolved to stop buying costly books and be happy and satisfied with my current collection. In the end though, I ended up getting all-too depressed and extremely bipolar. Haha!
A couple of weeks ago, while I was out on a date with myself at Serendra, I came across this bookstore that sells bargained books. My heart literally leaped for joy at the sight of it; and as soon as I went in, I fell in love. Clearly, it was a match made in heaven. The wondrous sight of all those books reaching out to me, waiting to be bought and opened was irresistible. Deciding which books to buy was the hardest part, for what kind of book enthusiast will let those unsold books rot in those dark shelves? In the end, I (sort of) resisted temptation and bought two books. I left the bookstore with the promise of coming back for more.
It was while I was having high tea at a certain coffee slash book shop that it would be a great idea to share these good finds with you guys. You see, these books I bought were on sale for two reasons: either they didn't make it on New York Time's Best Sellers List, or they weren't written by infamous authors. So I believe it's just right to give them their fair share of the limelight they very much deserve.
So what better way to do that than create a new segment on blog, right? Thus, Reader's Nook was born.
First on my Reader's Nook list is Stone Garden; a heart-wrenching novel by Molly Moynahan.
Stone Garden revolves around Alice, a teenage girl who wishes to discover her purpose in life after the tragic and unexpected death of Matthew, her life-long love. As Alice goes on her journey of acceptance and moving on, she is faced with new experiences that will truly alter the course of her life. Experiences that will make her see and appreciate what she has, and experiences that will make her forget and let go of what she once had.
A novel about death, love, life, and moving on, Stone Garden is definitely a must-read for all you hopeless romantics out there. Get ready to cry buckets of tears.
