I’ve decided to join the Book Club Friday blog hop and finally get around to reviewing Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, which is one of my favorite reads this year. Thanks to Kate of Another Clean Slate for recommending it! Synopsis Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who […]
Book Reviews: Recent Reads
There used to be a time when you could always find me looking like this: Then I discovered that I had other interests and the internet, well it’s so distracting, isn’t it? So I rarely have time to read books these days. I have managed to read a few in the past months, though, and […]
Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson (Book Review)
I’ve been feeling guilty lately because I haven’t been reading books. There are just so many things to do, so many other forms of distraction, that I find myself unable to finish any of the books I start reading. Or so I thought. Turns out, all I needed was a book that would hook me, […]
Favored Freedom
I don’t know if this is a sign of aging, but lately I no longer like reading fiction but prefer books about real events, real people. Maybe it’s just a phase. Let’s see. The book I last finished is William and Harry by Katie Nicholl. If you read my C post on Celebrity Crushes, you […]
Suck It, Wonder Woman!: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek {Book Review}
I like Olivia Munn on the TV show The Newsroom, so when I saw that she had a book with a catchy title, I decided to check it out. It makes for fun light reading, sort of like reading a series of blogs. And just like a blog, there are some chapters that are interesting or […]
I was Once a Wallflower
The movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower took a while to arrive in Singapore. When lots of people raved about it in the Philippines, I decided to read the book while waiting for it and I loved it, making me look forward to the movie. Well it finally arrived and I got to watch […]
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn (Book Review)

Here’s the synopsis from the official website: On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick Dunne’s […]
Committed (Book Review)
I liked Liz Gilbert’s writing style in Eat Pray Love so I decided to read her second non fiction – Committed. This is the book’s description: At the end of her bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who’d been living in Indonesia when […]
One Day (Book & Movie Review)
When I downloaded One Day in my kindle, I filed it under the “serious reads” category and it was indeed; or maybe more appropriately, it was a sad read. It’s not sad all the time, though, I did enjoy some funny scenes and witty lines, a lot of them coming from Em, but overall, it’s, […]
Love The One You’re With (Book Review)
So last night, Tyne and I decided to hit a bar in Clarke Quay after we watched the movie What’s Your Number? She brought me to China One, and I enjoyed the bar’s music, ambiance, and widely-spaced tables that didn’t give me the feeling of suffocation the way other bars do. We eventually hit the […]
