Hi! After a long while, a review! I was supposed to post this on its release day, but my schedule got full and the weather right now... didn't let me do so, but here it is! I also contacted the author for an interview, and she agreed. I literally can't wait to share with you what I thought of this, so let's get into the review! This is about to get LONG, but it's really worthwhile. This book is everything.
I was inspired by Bibliophile Soprano's Post on the same matter, and I thought that it'd be appropriate for me to do the same sort of post, since I just came back from a really long hiatus some weeks ago. I rarely do this kind of post, so it's kind of relatively unfamiliar with me. I think I'll also include some sort of progress report regarding my blog! Fingers crossed!
It's time for another Waiting on Wednesday! This week, I'm featuring this really awesome sequel to a really awesome book. I'm sure many of you have read the precious thing called Illuminae. And I'm also pretty sure you're aware of its sequel called Gemina!
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine. Check out their site here to see other WoWs!
Gee, it's been a while since I've done one of these! This week, I'm still on a Peculiar roll, so I'm picking Ransom Riggs's Tales of the Peculiar! Note: Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme made by Breaking The Spine.
Finally! Another blog tour! This time, it's the 2016 release Frannie and Tru! I'm so excited to post this. I missed getting interesting excerpts! Thanks so much, Paper Boulevard, for making this tour possible. Go ahead and click on the banner for more juicy details (and possibly a review) about this book!
Hey! Today I've got something exciting! So.... Here in the Philippines we have interesting palates that always crave for those nostalgic, often very flavorful food that we've known since we were babes. And so I (or we) thought "Why not make a book tag out of this?" And here it is! What's more, this is an exciting COLLAB post with my friend Matt from Reading with Luigi! Basically, we exchanged answers and decided to post each other's responses on our blogs. So what you'll be seeing today will be MATT'S answers! Check out MY answers HERE!
Joy killed Adam Gordon—at least, that’s what she thinks. The night of the party is hazy at best. But she knows what Adam did to her twin sister, Grace, and she knows he had to pay for it.
What Joy doesn’t expect is that someone else saw what happened. And one night a note is shoved through her open window, threatening Joy that all will be revealed. Now the anonymous blackmailer starts using Joy to expose the secrets of their placid hometown. And as the demands escalate, Joy must somehow uncover the blackmailer’s identity before Joy is forced to make a terrible choice.
In this darkly compelling narrative, debut author Laura Tims explores the complicated relationship between two sisters, and what one will do for the other. It’s a story that will keep readers turning pages and questioning their own sense of right and wrong.
Gosh, I've been wanting to do this for a long time now! It's just that I've been so busy with stuff that I hadn't gotten around writing it. Anyway, here it is! 25 (hopefully) bookish facts about me! Wait. I want to thank Matt, from Reading With Luigi, for tagging me!
Hey! Okay, we're somewhere in the middle of March right now, but I wanted to share with you guys what I've been up to when it comes tor reading (finally, some action), and I know, it's gonna be hard for me to do these over such a short time now. Well, if anything, should I not finish this list entirely, I'm gonna have to carry-over the unfinished business onto my April schedule. This is the first time I'm having a reading plan, so wish me luck!

Title: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the UniverseA lyrical novel about family and friendship from critically acclaimed author Benjamin Alire Sáenz.
Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship—the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be.
Paradise Drive links 80 sonnets in a narrative about a modern Pilgrim on a journey from rust belt Pennsylvania to the glittering suburbs of Marin County, California. The book takes great pleasure in questioning, tinkering with, and ultimately exploding the sonnet form. It has been well received, with more than 50 reviews and features since its release last April. Rumpus and the Washington Review of Books included it in their National Poetry Month picks.
