How Did Book Blogging Change My Life?

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!

The Pinoy Food Book Tag! A COLLABORATION

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!

Review: ILLUMINAE!!!!

Title: Illuminae (The Illuminae Files #1)
Authors: Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Number of Pages: 599 (HB)
Publication Date: October 20, 2015
Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers

Synopsis

This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do.

This afternoon, her planet was invaded.


The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.


But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak to again.


Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents—including emails, schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more—Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping, high-octane trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.

My MARCH Bookish To-Do List!

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!
