Random Ramblings is a 'book blog' -- a place where I talk about the books that I devour and where I also post the reviews that I write about them. However, I do talk pretty much about anything that captures my interest. Mostly, this blog surrounds anything that is related to the world of literature -- whether it'd be talking, reading, or writing about it.
About me:
I love: strawberries, the color pink, city life, music, broadway, vintage things, casual dresses, flats, travel, swimming, coffee, tea, pretty flowers, and bows. I love Christmas, family, friends, and our almost 2-year-old Maltese named Kobe. I am also very fond of animals and I might just be a secret animal rights activist -- in a not so scary, crazy, and over the top way.
I hate (dislike): squirrels (they are scary!), animal cruelty, humidity, too much make-up, book creases and folds, my small book case, and judgmental people.
My annual reading goal: To read 100 books a year.I'm Jillian, and I really am a bookworm. I've always been, ever since I learned how to be one.
Another love of mine aside from reading? Writing. It has always been my main passion.
Right now, I am in school to become a Registered Nurse. Part time, I work as an English and writing tutor for kids with cerebral palsy. I love my job -- these amazing kids inspire me and teach me something new, every single day.
My Ultimate Dream and Goal:
To be able to get my work published. Most will agree with me, it's not about the money. To see a book that I wrote on someone else's bookshelf, will be more than enough.

The reason why I set this goal for myself is not about the quantity. What's important to me is the quality of the books that I read. Through them, I am able to learn a lot of different things that I am able to apply in my daily life, and by achieving this personal goal of mine, I know I am growing.
What I Read:
Everything! Seriously. It doesn't matter what genre it belongs to. If it sounds good, I'll read it. Books I read usually belong to: contemporary fiction, YA, classics, thriller, historical fiction. Like I said though, I am open to anything.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm a new subscriber to your blog! I don't know if I can read 100 books in a year, I read approx 52 books last year. There is always room for improvement. I'm hoping to read more this year. My blog was started in October 2009. So, I'm a new blogger. Looking forward to your upcoming reviews.
This is a wonderful goal. Keep writing dear, don't let anyone stop you from doing so because you are very good at it!
ReplyDeleteI also go for qualify rather than quantity. It makes the act of reading much more pleasurable and worthwhile :)
ReplyDeleteHope you finally get to achieve your goal! In my case, 100 books in a year is simply not possible. But like you, I'm also trying to get more quality reads every year.
I'm also a Filipino, by the way. It's nice having you in the blogging community :)
Your "About me: Oh, and I like..." section is quite funny. That profile picture too! I have been a reader of your blog for quite a while now. It is definitely one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI'm passing a blog award on to you. You can find it at

Hello Jillian =)
ReplyDeleteI found your blog by browsing the net for good reads. I maintain a beauty blog, but I also post some books I purchased for a particular month.
I followed you =)
If someday you find yourself looking for a good lipstick for a party, maybe you can visit my blog too =)
I am a pinay by the way.
