So I had really pretty much abandonned this site since I no longer work in an office with no work to do and only Chinese colleagues to ‘talk’ to, but then I came back to it today and saw this goal and was amazed. Why? Because I currently have a job as a weekly book reviewer for a newspaper, meaning the paper buys me a new release (we’re talking hardback, not paperback flimsies) and I read it for the next week. So the goal, exactly as I had described it, came true. 43things is like the magical wish fairy. I believe! I believe!

The ‘light up, light up’ song by Snow Patrol. Although it is a little depressing, it gives a sad smile whenever I hear it.
I’ve read nothing in forever, not even the things I have to read. Dream of Red Chamber is next on the list, and after that, The Kite Runner.
