We heard from a friend that this small bookstore called Libreria on Tomas Morato (near iBank) was having a clearing out sale, so lotuseater and I set aside time to visit it. Luckily, it's near my house. But it's far from lotuseater's. In fact, she doesn't like going to QC. But, if there's a book sale, she's there.

This hardcover beauty called The Last Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch -- I've been seeing this on my Amazon recommendations page, and I remembered being interested in it. It had a nice compact feel to it and when i turned to the back cover, it read: "Warning: Not to be read after dark -- especially page 148." Oooohh.. I don't usually read overly scary stuff, but that warning made it delectably devilish! Sold!

I found a couple of books about dragons by Donita K. Paul. The cover art is beautiful so I decided to buy it. Like I mentioned in a recent entry, I do that a lot, judge books by their covers. And I am happy to say that it hasn't let me down yet!


I can't say that the titles themselves are imaginative, but the cover is beautiful and yes, it had the word dragon on it. I crossed my fingers, bought the two books and checked Amazon upon getting home. The two books got 4 and 5 stars respectively on Amazon. Whew! I'm guessing it might have a similar plot to Eragon and Eldest, but no matter. I'll just have to see when I finally read it.

When I'll get to read it is another matter. With my bookhunting sprees with lotuseater, my reading pile isn't getting any shorter.



And it appears that Dragonspell and Dragonquest have a third book. Surprise surprise. Well, one can't have too many dragon tales ;-)

I've just finished rereading Eragon, and I've finally finished Eldest. I shall talk about them another time. Right now, I'm reading The Sign of the Qin. Pretty interesting book. Oriental fantasy (with a dragon, also, an oriental one hehe) -- a very interesting read it's turning out to be.

What are you reading now? =)
