Just Another Kid by Torey Hayden

I found this book inside a drawer on one of our dilapidated antique cabinets upon which we stow unrecognizable house 'stuff'. Stuff like part of a door knob, rusty wrench, a half blade of a scissor and tweezers(!!!). Atrocious? You bet! I don't even know why my Tita still keep these hideous things and bring instead those so-called 'house stuff' to a garage shop or a magbabakal (garbage/waste collector). I can't even begin to fathom the sentimentality behind it. 

Skipping Christmas by John Grisham

What occupied you this past Holiday season? I bet a lot of those involved Christmas parties, family gatherings, gift-givings, decorating your Christmas tree, shopping and of course, food. Who could forget about the food? Quezo de Bola, Hamon, fruitcakes, and to the more lucrative, Lechon and Paella. Food has been one of the highlights of my December holidays which I would feature in this blog in time. (If I remember it right, I've been to three or four memorable gatherings this Holiday season with friends). But for now, let me tell you about this wonderful little book that kept me rapt all-throughout the season.

Book Review: Ang Mga Kaibigan Ni Mama Susan by Bob Ong
