Flexitarian Cookbook

I came across the Flexitarian Cookbook while browsing the web last night and I thought I'd share with you lovelies. The cookbook is a compilation of flexible recipes for both vegetarians and carnivores and there are no print copies yet. They are currently raising print funds, with all proceeds going to charity. Check out the video:

Bookshelf mess

Found this bookshelf over at Styl.In. I know that instead of making your room look organized, it'll make it seem messy. But I just find it so adorable nonetheless!

Books on display

I just love books on display. Of course I buy to read not to display, but there is something about shelves and shelves of books that make me swoon and feel warm inside. Whenever I visit a friend's house and am allowed to look around a bit, I go straight to the hallway or living room bookshelf and check out what they have in there; from first editions to tattered collector's items to atlases to untouched chick lits. Even my boyfriend has this lovely collection of books (well, he's a professor) that I always browse through.

These book storage and display ideas from Design 3000 are of course not quite like the shelves-and-shelves that I adore, but I can't deny that these are really nice ways to display your books. I especially love the third one, and the first one is genius because it also acts as bookmark. Oh, and check out these brilliant book lights that I've posted a few weeks ago.

So my lovelies, do you adore books as decor/display like I do or am I being too nerdy? What do you think of these designs? Sound off below!

There's No Place Like Here

And this is the first book I have read this 2010. Heard a lot about her, but this was the first one by Cecelia Ahern that I have read. I wasn't blown away, but I have to say that the book had its charms and it's a very easy read too. After the busy Holidays, it was just nice to have a two-day rest with a light book in hand.

I don't want to throw in spoilers for those who haven't read the book yet, but after reading There's No Place Like Here, I just wish I never go missing and moreover, I hope I'll never be forgotten by the people I love.

Have you read the book? What did you think of it? Tell me!

Let's talk book: The Shadow of the Wind

I just finished reading this book over the weekend and I cannot stop marveling about it. It was a sad but epic story of love, death, deception, dreams and hope.

Someday, I might just visit a Cemetery of Forgotten Books, which the main character visited as a child, taking with him a book he is sworn to protect the rest of his life. A book that strangely has him entangled in an age old conflict that began with the author himself.

Have you read this book? What book are you reading at the moment?

The Fantastic Mr. Fox

I know it's the Twilight season again and a lot of people have been finding it hard to sleep waiting for the day New Moon will show in theaters. ho-hum... I am more interested with The Fantastic Mr. Fox, which will be coming out this November as well. It's an animated film based on Roald Dahl's book (I love!) of the same name. Check out the trailer after the jump..
