26th Birthday (Birthday Book Tag)

-


Hi Lovelies! I turned 26 yesterday (September 9), which means I am too old to date Leonardo DiCaprio. Anyway  I am just reflecting how books are still relevant in my life and how important they are in my life. Both my older sister and mom were readers but they stopped reading and I am afraid that I would fall out of love with reading. But still reading is an important part of my day. It gives me the opportunity to escape my real life and problems. 

Moving on, I  decided to do the Birthday Book Tag by The Bibliophile Girl's blog 


1 – BIRTHDAY CAKE – a book with a plot that seems cliche but you adore it anyway




2 – PARTY GUESTS – your most anticipated book release this year



3 – BIRTHDAY PRESENTS – a book that surprised you with how much you loved it

4 – THE HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG – a book that certainly deserved all the hype it got

5 – HAPPY MUSIC – a book with some very beautiful and truly memorable quotes

6 – GETTING OLDER – a book that you read a long time ago, but you think that you would appreciate it more if you read it as a more mature reader

7 – SWEET BIRTHDAY MEMORIES – a book that kept you incredibly happy during a sad or demanding period of your life


What are you grateful for?  Please tell me below. Be sure to follow my social media accounts to see bookish stuffs or chat about books, or be reading buddies.


XOXO, 
Bella

Watching the Chilling Tales of Sabrina Halloween is coming real soon and if you're like me and you tend to forget to prepare your costume before hand or if your are looking for easy costumes that you might already have in your closet then keep on reading. 1. Hogwarts Student  First the very iconic Hogwarts uniform from the Harry Potter series.

Hogwarts Robe Pleated Black Skirt White Button Down Shirt 2. Wednesday Addams  For my second costume, I just wore a dress that I had for years.

Sula must not only figure our her parents’ secret, but also just how different, and possibly magical, she really is. Review:           When Ms. Torres e-mailed me asking if I could review her book, I immediately said yes because I thought it was a Filipino mythology based novel and that I also wanted to support Filipino books. Thought it has some myst
