one piece of advice : READ. it's a whole different universe there.
i'm a bookworm. bookaholic. i google 'bookaholic' and i found this website.
from the website :
You know you're a bookaholic when... (i selected the one that i actually did ! xD)
-you take your book everywhere you go.
-if you LOVE the smell of musty pages!
-you can't leave a bookstore without buying something, even when you have a "to-be-read" pile a mile high. [SO TRUE!]
-you talk to people using quotes from your favorite books.
-You select your handbags based on whether they are big enough to fit a book.[my bags are enormous.seriously]
-you get stung by a bee while lying beside the pool, run screaming toward the house, but stop to grab your book...which is lying on your lounge. [okay this never happen. but i WOULD stop to grab my book even i get stung by bees]
-you don't want to lend your books to anyone because you might not get them back! you like to treasure your books in case you decide to re-read them again later.
are YOU one of them? =D
anis : yes i am! and i'm proud to be a bookaholic. *evil laugh* mwahaha.
any questions about the book you can ask me! =)
