the reader’s nook

Harry Potter fans and book collectors might want to take a look at Barnes and Noble’s latest offering.

Harry Potter Hardcover Boxed Set, Books 1-7

I’d love to get my hands on one, but I’ll probably need to save up before I can purchase it. Given that I don’t live in the U.S. and I don’t have Paypal or credit cards, I might be doubly difficult.

Anyway, Book 7 is set to be released in July! E-books claiming to be the original are scattered all over the Internet, but of course, we won’t know until we actually get a copy of the printed one. The movie of “The Order of the Phoenix” will also be out this year, so that’s a few things fans will have to look out for.

These are books that I’m disposing off. I really hate parting with my books, but I need the space in my house, and I don’t want to throw them away.

Just leave a note on the comments, letting me know which book you want and your email address (I suggest you put it as to prevent spam on your account) so can discuss the pick-up or delivery details. For pick-up, I can meet you in any of the LRT 2 stations. If you choose to have the book delivered, I’ll have to add the price of delivery to the total cost. I’ll be using 2GO, and you make check their prices at their website (look for the Quickpack document option)

I’ll also be adding books to this list as I clean up my place, so keep coming back for updates!

It’s been a while since I updated this. I do apologize for the neglect. It’s not that I haven’t been reading. I have! My book list is so full you wouldn’t believe it. I manage to finish a book a day and it’s fun.

Recently, I’ve gotten into Sherrilyn Kenyon’s work, specifically the Dark Hunter, Dream Hunter and Were Hunter series, thanks to my good friend Denise. It’s such an addicitng and captivating series. I was never much of a fan of darkly themed books, romance or otherwise, but this series is such a fun read, I can’t stop. I’m not even half way through!

I also started reading Vicky Lewis Thompson’s Nerd series. I’ve only read two (Nerds Gone Wild and Nerds Like It Hot), but so far I’m enjoying it.

Other than that, I go back and re-read old favorites, like Nora Robert’s Red Lily. Oh, and watch NBC’s Heroes. Now that is something worth going off topic for!

I’ll write about the books in detail at a later post.
