Yay for new books and discounts! This was what I bought the other day when I was in the search for a pair of black heels to wear to the office and ended up buying anything but. Still, books!

I just read The Boy Book, which is the book in the middle, today. The penguin on the cover was what initially appealed to me, but I am happy to share that I enjoyed it. I don’t think I’ll ever be too old for YA.

It’s my 23rd book for the year (8th YA for 2009), and while I wish I read more this year, I reckon 23 isn’t such a bad number. Maybe I’ll aim more next year? I’m thinking of putting up a blog to keep track, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to keep it up. Will read more in 2010, that’s for sure.

I now have three planners.

1. I bought a Moleskine weekly planner + notebook earlier this month because I’m currently using one and it’s exactly what I want in a planner. I also figured that no one else will get it for me since it’s quite pricey.
   
   
2. But then come Christmas day, I got another Moleskine planner from my cousin.
   
   
3. The day after Christmas, Alma gave me a Marks & Spencer weekly planner as a belated birthday and Christmas gift.

So now, what do I do with these planners? I was initially torn between using either of the Moleskines. But I figured I could use the weekly planner for keeping track of my activities, to-do lists and birthdays, etc. Then I’ll use the daily one for my personal journal since I’ve been promising myself to write more for several years now and I’ve never really pushed through. It will be 365 project of sorts. Still not sure what to do with the M&S planner though. Hrm.

New planner make me excited. :) Here’s to hoping I become more organized and start writing more in 2010.
