BMM Log: October 2014
So sad, haven't read much outside of school work. No worries, though, because these books are still worth reading. In the music front, I basically stuck to my default ones. And in the movies, *sigh* not much going on there. Can't wait for Christmas break and the end of the semester.

Hear ye! Hear ye! #NoraRoberts
Nora Roberts' latest fantasy/magic book has been released. Well, it was released last October 28, I think, but since I was on hiatus, I'm just posting about this now.
You guys know I love Nora Roberts. I'm officially a fan, so I'll just simply, calmly, recommend this book to you instead of gushing about it. Blood Magick is the third book in her current series. There was some negative feedback when the first book came out as the characters seem reminiscent of her past Three Sisters Island trilogy. The circumstances of the characters are different, though, so that's fine with me. And any chance to read more of Nora Roberts fantasy books is welcome to me.

BMM Log: September 2014
It's the end of September, the first -ber month! Sooner or later, it'll be Christmas! But first, there's Halloween. Wheee!
September was hectic for me, to say the least. With the school semester in full swing, I had no time to read for myself; nearly all the books, the full-fledged novels, in my Book log this month were for school. Sigh. And I didn't get to watch any new movies! Que horror! (yep, I'm loving Spanish, can you tell?)

See what I mean by the novels being school readings?

August 2014 BMM Log
Helloooo! I’m back! Last month was the first month of the school year so it was pretty hectic trying to get used to routine (more on that maybe in another post).
Also, A lot of my upcoming BMM Logs would have school readings so be warned :)
Anyhoo, last August was more on the movies side, especially animes (side note, Kawaii Manila 2 was yesterday but I didn’t get to go because #busy -_-” Oh well, there’s always next year, right?). Let’s get on with the log.

Books
Haikyuu Manga. The manga is still on-going but the anime’s about to finish soon. I think I’ll have a post coming up on why this anime is worth watching. Long story short, I love it, especially the manga’s training camp arc (after the Aoba Josai arc). Definitely watch it for inspiration not just in volleyball but in life and determination.

July 2014 BMM Log
I did a lot of reading this month. Probably to make up for the fact that I’m returning to school at the start of August. By then it would be a different kind of reading.

Books
"Three Shadows". Published by First Second Books, Three Shadows is a graphic novel by Cyril Pedrosa. I read this upon the recommendation of Sanne of booksandquills. I recommend you read this as well.

Welcome to Hoxford. I saw the cover in a bookshop and was immediately interested. Judging from the cover, this isn’t for the faint of heart. The graphics are superb - they’re done by Ben Templesmith. This comic prompted me to look for other graphic novels done by Templesmith, leading me to…

“How the Best Leaders Lead" by Brian Tracy. I got this as a gift for someone else but I read it anyway. Worthy read even for non-business or managerial people.

”The Witches" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl. I make it a point to read at least one work from different genres. I’m currently on a children’s stories streak. My other authors-to-read from other genres are Ray Bradbury, HP Lovecraft, and Stephen King.

BOOKS I’ve Read
She’s Dating the Gangster. I read this because I’m such a #KathNiel fan (see more below). There are some scenes I don’t agree with, but still - can’t wait for the movie!

I wanna read this book!
After her mother died, Glory retreated into herself and her music. Her single father raised her as a piano prodigy, with a rigid schedule and the goal of playing sold-out shows across the globe. Now, as a teenager, Glory has disappeared. As we flash back to the events leading up to her disappearance, we see a girl on the precipice of disaster. Brilliant and lonely, Glory is drawn to an artistic new boy, Frank, who moves in next door. The farther she falls, the deeper she spirals into madness. Before long, Glory is unable to play anything but the song “Chopsticks.”
But nothing is what it seems, and Glory’s reality is not reality at all. In this stunningly moving novel told in photographs, pictures, and words, it’s up to the reader to decide what is real, what is imagined, and what has been madness all along….
