Choose Your Next Read:
How do you go about choosing what you read next? Do you have a schedule you follow, or do you read whatever makes your happy at the moment.
There’s no particular “order” on how I choose to read next. There’s so many to choose that at times, I ended up browsing via Goodreads, Librarything, Shelfari, and shoutouts through Twitter via my my bookies friends to see what’s hot in line. Honestly, it’s a problem every time I finished a book! Unless, I’m on a series marathon, which means I’m particularly save from choosing during that time. I also have a hard time sticking to a list, which I should be doing since I am participating in reading challenges.

Fifteen Films meme
This is an interesting one (from Scatter Cushions). "The rules: Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen films you’ve seen that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen films you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes."
- My Left Eye Sees Ghosts (this will always be my first favorite movie)
- My Name is Khan
- Despicable Me
- Alpha & Omega (Just because I love the title due to something)
- Easy A
- Dracula: Dead & Loving It
- My Sister’s Keeper
- Lagenda Budak Setan (that stupid abuse scenes will stick with me forever)
- Kasut (Telemovie though. Muhammad Murali had done it again)
- Pisau Cukur (watched this like 50+.. most of it just listening to it so we actually have background noise at work)
- Toy Story 3 (made me cry.. oh shut up!)
- Alice in Wonderland
- The Big Fish
- Robin Hood in Tights
- The Witches of Eastwick
