It's Friday on This Side of the World

Posted in: 2021 posts | blog images | Books | Online Shopping Bag

Huehuehue

These two arrived today~

"This Side of Paradise" & "The Ghost Bride"
"The Ghost Bride"
I did watch the series last year... I don't particularly like it but I don't hate it either. But I do like the idea of gods walking among humans so I will read it. Come to think of it, I usually want to read the book if I saw the movie or TV series first.

I actually have this in my to-read shelf (2017!) on Goodreads... & honestly, I forgot all about that lol.

The shelved date is quite familiar. Apparently it's the same day I shelve "The Gift of Rain". I probably have that phase in 2017 where I want to read books that take place in Malaysia.  

"This Side of Paradise"
So, early this month, I was looking around again on Bookxcess... for books that are out-of-stock. Saw one book by F. Scott Fitzgerald. 


Yup. That "Only 1 left!" got me. Good news is, I don't have to read this on my phone anymore *relieved sigh*. I'm borrowing this megapack e-book of Fitzgerald's works from the national library and I've yet finish it (fortunately no one is placing a hold..yet). The e-book includes two of his novels (which I have, the other is "The Beautiful and Damned") but I already planned to skip them. So maybe I'll be able to finish the book this month?

I'm still having that crush over Fitzgerald's writing style... so at this point, if I find his books on Bookxcess or BBW, I'll want to get them.
