Quote by R.D. Cumming
As a bookworm at heart, I’ve started obsessively reading as a young child and collecting fiction novels, Archie comics, teen magazines left right and center. Ordering Scholastic books and waiting for them to come in was always something to look forward to. I remember Pizza Hut used to also sponsor a book reading club where if you read a number of books, they would offer you a Personal Pan Pizza. I would go in and sit in the Pizza Hut down the street where my cousin worked, while I waited for my personal mini pizza to pop out of the oven, and eat the tiny four slices with such pride. Yes, I was your typical Asian goody-two shoes geek child. Those who knew me growing up can certainly attest to that.
I’m happy to say though, that some things never change. Although this is probably one of the biggest reasons why I’m almost as blind as a bat, I still love curling up on the lazy nights to stay in and follow my favourite protagonist through their adventures, or continue to learn and expand my knowledge in an industry that fascinates me. I’m currently nose deep in a few books and will be writing another blog post to share my 2011 reading list soon!
Over the years, I’m sad to say that my collection has been collecting dust and neglected, stacked together on my boring IKEA bookcase, books shoved in every corner and direction so long as it fit. I’ve always dreamed of how awesome it would be to have floor to ceiling bookshelves just like Belle’s library in Beauty in the Beast. While randomly searching on Google, I came across this wicked site that shows some of the most unique bookshelves I’ve ever seen!

Kwan – Inspired by the chinese word for “stick” and how people dry their laundry in China, on sticks outside their windows.
