Books I Read in January 2010

February 3, 2010
By Mighty (Who am I?)

One of my goals for 2010 is to read more books. Sure I already read a lot but I don’t really know how many books I’ve read last year. So beginning January, I will document all the books I’ve read. I want to include a variety of books and genre in my repertoire. I also have to read more Filipiniana books. Here are the books I’ve read in January 2010.

1. Day Watch (Watch, Book 2) by Sergei Lukyanenko. t’s vampires and werewolves and dark magicians (the Dark Ones) against shapeshifters, light magicians and enchantresses. No cheesy Twilight lines and emo blah. This is Russian by the way!

2. The Magic Goes Away by Larry Niven. Once upon a time, the world was full of mana. Gods, goddesses and magicians walked the earth. But the magic goes away due to greedy magicians and irresponsible gods.

3. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. This can be a bit intimidating because of its length and the bulk of great information it has to offer. Thankfully, I’ve read parts of it before and I just had to refresh my memory.

4. Three Little Words on Life, On Love, On Laughs by Francis Kong. Just like a devotional book full of heartwarming and smile-inducing stories from one of Philippines’ best business motivational writers.

5. The DETECTIVES. Their Toughest Cases in Their Own Words. by Peter A. Micheels. It’s a good read. Detectives in New York City talk about their toughest cases–homicide, sex crimes, murder, gang wars and drug-related crimes! It was like reading some testimony from CSI.

Five books for January 2010. I will read 5 books also for February. If I keep up this habit, I’ll read a total of 60 books in 2010! I wish I could write a review for each book I read. But I’m busy right now. I have another blog project and as much as I want to develop both blogs, the other one is under development stage for now. So its’ gonna demand more attention for now.

    Hello ymesako! Yep. It’s better to track the books I read. Besides, I have a big pile here at home. I decided not to buy books for the next 4-6 months. I just have to read the books I haven’t read here. :D
