I live for moments that make me laugh out loud literally, even though sometimes I worry that other people would think I was crazy for laughing by myself, out of nowhere. Today’s moment came when my friend April discussed a scene from the book Something Borrowed with me. I agreed that it was very romantic […]
Divergent by Veronica Roth (Book Review)
I bought this book upon Lord Voldemort’s recommendation. Okay, I don’t mean the real dark lord from the Harry Potter series, but a witty guy who pretends to be him. This is the official overview of the story: In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of […]
Before Ever After by Samantha Sotto (Book Review)
After hearing about this book from my friend (the story for that is here), I knew I just had to get a copy of one. Most of Singapore’s bookstores did not carry it and the one that did, Prologue, ran out of stock, so I asked my friend Caloy to buy one for me in […]
Pottermore, Here I Come!
I can’t believe it! I actually managed to register a Pottermore early access account tonight! It all began when I logged into www.pottermore.com and I saw this: Knowing what little time I had, I hurriedly opened a new browser and typed the answer at the end of the web address as instructed: 420. I was […]
A Filipino Author’s Happy Ever After
“Have you read this? I thought of you!” my friend Flisha said to me a few days ago. I clicked on the link she had included in the message and read: Once upon a time, there was a young mom who decided to kill time by writing a novel. She had just read The Time […]
Mockingjay – Hunger Games 3 {Book Review}
Finally, the book I’ve been waiting for since last year is out – Mockingjay, the final book in the Hunger Games trilogy. I had pre-ordered the book months ago but since it was shipped from the US, it’s still en route to me. Luckily, I found a free Stanza Reader ebook late last Thursday and […]
Eat Pray Love {Book Review}
After what seems like ages, I finally decided to start reading again. I picked up this book off the bookstore shelf, knowing that it was slated for release as a movie soon, under the mistaken notion that it was a fiction novel. Even when I started reading it, I still thought it was a novel […]
Sweet Valley Confidential, Ten Years Later
I just found out from Flisha’s blog that Sweet Valley Confidential is slated for release on March 2011 and that you can download the first chapter of the first book here! Thanks Fli! Naturally, I downloaded and read it already, and wow, a lot of things have changed indeed! Liz is no longer in Sweet […]
Percy Jackson and the Olympians {Book Review}
A few weeks ago I posted about wanting to read the Percy Jackson book series. Thanks to the Stanza app, I can read them on my phone which is much more convenient. We had watched the movie based on the first book and it was a disappointment mainly because, like with the Harry Potter series, things […]
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
I wanna read this. I know, that’s a movie, but it’s based on a book. I’m enamored by fantasy books but movies, not so much. Take Harry Potter for example. I wasn’t impressed by the two movies I had seen before I finally got my hands on book one – then I read all the […]
