Kindly meet the special girl of my life while she’s reading The Kite Runner. I originally bought the book for her and when she got the news that I’m going to give it away this January, she was kind of edgy about it at first, scolded me about giving it away when she have to read it herself first. But she’s cool now, because she finished reading it last week and Hassan got her sympathy.

We’re actually having this weekly coffee shop reading habit. I read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and she read Divergent last week while we’re sipping cappuccino and caramel macchiato (and we sneaked a dozen of hot pandesal too!).

I know books will bring us closer together.
