To give you a little idea of who Anne Frank is, here’s a brief description:

Anne Frank was a Jew. She was born in Germany, but her family later moved to Holland where she grew up. She was among the Jews who suffered during the Nazi occupation. She was the girl who lived to share the story of her life.

The Diary of a Young Girl was an account of everything that Anne Frank had been through in the two years her family and a few friends were in hiding from the Nazis until they were caught. Here she related her fears, concerns, doubts, and hopes which she couldn’t seem to disclose to anyone who was staying with ... Continue reading


Risk is the spice of life. – Komatsu

Hooray! So happy I’m finally done reading 1Q84! (This is a late post, though.)

FYI, the original version of 1Q84 was written in Japanese and divided into three separate books. The version I read, though, had been translated in English and published as a single book. You could only imagine how much effort and how many days I spent just to finish this. Haha!
              
Aomame had been transported into a two-mooned world she called 1Q84 where logic didn’t seem to fit in. Tengo rewrote a novel by Sakigake member Fuka-Eri entitled Air Chrysalis, which he didn’t know would be the turning point of his life. From there on, many secrets had been ... Continue reading
 

Hi there! I just completed reading Jamie McGuire’s Walking Disaster. But just because I’m finished with it, doesn’t mean I’m done swooning over Travis’ megaultra-sweetness. Oh gosh, I just can’t contain it! Haha! I can be boyish and naïve most times, but the truth is, I can also be a real sucker for everything romantic. What a cheeseball you might say, I know. Haha!

Anyways

Walking Disaster has, as a whole, the same storyline as Jamie McGuire’s claim to fame novel,BeautifulDisaster. As a follow-up, the only difference is everything that’s inside it is taken from a different angle – from Travis Maddox’s point of view! (Girls, we all know how much of... Continue reading

The Host is one of my all time favorites! I love everything about it, EVERYTHING. 

The Earth has already been invaded by souls.  These souls take over humans with a new identity; leaving only a person’s body a vessel. Wanderer (Wanda), a soul, finds it hard to totally wipe Melanie, a resistant host, out. As they live together in one body, Wanda eventually learns to feel the same way Melanie feels about Jamie (Melanie’s brother) and Jared (Melanie’s lover). This led them to find the two in a cave along with other surviving humans. It has not been easy for Wanda because, though she is... Continue reading

I want your world to begin and end with me. – Christian Grey

Fifty Shades Freed is the longest of the three books, pretty understandable ‘coz this is the last. the novel narrated the life of Anastasia and Christian after marriage – the couple’s honeymoon, Leila’s visit, Ray’s accident, Ana’s unexpected pregnancy, Christian’s closure with Mrs. Robinson, Mia’s kidnapping, Jack’s connection to Christian, Christian’s... Continue reading

after their ‘break-up,’ Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele start with the realization of how much effect they have for each other in such a short span of time. more than anything, they have reached a point when they have to admit whatever it is they are feeling, whether they are ready for it or not, and do something about it, compromise. carpe diem. the turn of events are all so sudden and the intensity of their obsession escalates even higher....

The journey is the reward. – Steve Jobs

it’s my first time to read a biography, and i’m so happy my first is about a man who lived a very interesting life. no regrets.

i was kind of clueless, no not kinda but totally clueless. HAHA. but after reading, i can now somehow tell how fiction is different from biography. with fiction, a character is made out... Continue reading

following Inferno, Purgatorio is the pitstop before Dante reaches Paradiso. this book is a voyage through the catharsis of a sinner’s soul, hence the title Purgatorio. if in Inferno souls suffer to pay for their sins, here, the spirits have to undergo torment in order to get the purification they need to be accepted in Paradiso.

Purgatorio is basically a mountain that has ledges which... Continue reading

the last book in the trilogy of Stieg Larsson.
the moment i finished reading The Girl Who Played with Fire, i opened The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest right away. there was no stopping or else i’d be left hanging. they are so connected that i actually consider the two books as one. HAHA.
this book gave a clearer view of who really were involved in the... Continue reading



061612. saturday.
another book i couldn’t seem to drop the moment i got a hold of everything that’s inside it - The Girl Who Played with Fire.

it’s the second book of the trilogy, following The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
i love how everything looks as if nothing’s wrong, like everything goes according to plan and all of a sudden something... Continue reading

when i first tried to read the book, i thought i wouldn't understand so i just closed it. but i badly wanna read this so i opened it the second time and seriously run through the pages. 
i love it! stieg larsson didn't disappoint me! (like i'm someone great who he didn't wish to disappoint? hahaha!) i enjoyed it even if it was a long read.... Continue reading

right after reading 2nd chance, i started with james patterson's 3rd degree. as i said, there's no stopping now. haha.... Continue reading


102211. saturday. 

o yes. i just finished the second book in the women's murder club series by james patterson. haha! 

it's a great way to start my sembreak. opening another patterson novel is like getting back on track since i had been taking a break from all the brutal and quizzical stories. this semester had been an exhausting one so i felt like i couldn't handle it anymore if i'd be reading such complicated stories that would... Continue reading


100711. friday.

i just finished reading the book today while i'm in the bus on my way home from the interview. haha!

it's another good way of refreshing myself. i have been too consumed by the murder killings of james patterson and the conspiracy cases of john grisham.

basically, THE WEDDING is about LOVE. isn't it obvious from the... Continue reading


i just finished reading "MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA" by Arthur Golden. it took me more than three days to finish because it really is quite long and even the chapters are lengthy too which makes me feel as though i've been stuck in every page (that is something psychological i guess). hahaha!


i love the story! haha! seriously. it is not similar to the genre of novels that i'm fond of but i still was able to enjoy reading. the story revolved around culture, history, life, and love.... Continue reading


i just finished reading this book today. it's been quite a long while since the last time i read a book. kinda' busy with school that's why. haha.

CROSS is obviously another novel from the cross series by james patterson.

well, what can i say? i didn't have a hard time reading it. maybe because the story moves quickly from one murder to another. and maybe because the twists were not that many, but that doesn't... Continue reading
This is the first of the 10 in this series of James Patterson’s novels. I can say this one is way more exciting than Jack and Jill. 1st To Die shows girl power in fields that are most commonly dominated by males. HAHA! And just when I thought I had it all figured out, I guess I was wrong. Haha! I didn’t find out who the real killer was. I partially figured out though (just partially). The story was heavy and brutal but it was softened by the love story in it. When I started reading, I got so hooked. I did not stop until I get to the end. Can’t wait to read the next nine! I still have a long way to go. That’s all right. HAHA.... Continue reading

i’d just like to say that this novel is “mind-boggling.” during the days i was reading it, i couldn’t sleep soundly simply because i keep on thinking and finding a way to know what’s gonna happen next. it only looked as though i won’t get to read his mind. up to the last pages, i was not able to count how many twists were incorporated with the story. that’s what makes him good. :)  alex cross and the two murder cases. one of great national interest and the other of no value (as to what the school killer thinks). one with pattern and the other without. the novel went on as to how cross unravels the motives behind the...
