ON DUBLIN STREET BOOK REVIEW


ON DUBLIN STREET by SAMANTHA YOUNG.



Characters: Jocelyn/Joss Butler, Braden Carmichael, Ellie Carmichael



Everytime I search for my next book to read in Goodreads, I always end up seeing this picture of a girl with her long neck. In thumbnail view, I thought the one behind her was some kind of a monster, since the guy's photo was a little darker and the title won't give anything away with it's plot. I thought it's a young adult book with monsters or vampire (thanks to the neck of the girl). 



So here's how the story goes, 


The girl with the gorgeous neck, Joss had a pretty messed up past, parents dead, sister dead, best friend dead. So, she thinks, she has a very bad luck (yah think?).

CRACKED UP TO BE BOOK REVIEW



CRACKED UP TO BE by COURTNEY SUMMERS . 

I've had this book in my reader for almost five months already. The cover is not really alluring, I can't even remember why I got this book in the first place. I've read Summers' Fall for Anything, with high expectations after reading the plot, but was let down after finishing the story. Talking about a very major cliffhanger. That book was a total waste.

BUT!


This book was the total opposite of "Fall for Anything"., I loved

THE ELITE BOOK REVIEW

So I can't contain myself after I finished Kierra Cass' The Selection. I was on my way home from work when I bought my second book. I didn't have the time to reflect on what I really thought about the first book. 


The second installment of Kierra Cass' The Selection series. THE ELITE. 

Now now, I LOVE The book 1, so my expectations are quite high for the sequel. I was in love with Prince Maxon in the first but in the second, I was second guessing myself. 

Here's how it goes, America Singer, is still confused on who to pick, Aspen or Prince Maxon? She says she needs more time, but she's not the only one who's doing

GASPAR ISLAND, MARINDUQUE

I've seen this place from afar for the longest time, but we haven't had the time (or the courage) to go to this beautiful Island. It's my second time in this place, and my first time was I guess almost a decade ago.
. Gaspar Island is located in this beautiful town of Gasan, Marinduque. This Island is one of the Tres Reyes (Melchor, Gaspar, Baltazar). Gaspar is the nearest of the three and the most accessible of all.

THE SELECTION Book Review

What drove me into reading this first book, The Selection  by Kierra Cass was the very nice book cover and the two thumbs up of my sister. I now seldom read post apocalyptic books though I've loved the Hunger Games Trilogy so much and the first installment of the the Delirium series, but this one (The Selection) got my attention from the moment my sister told me it's a beautiful book and when I finally read the plot. I didn't say I loved the concept of it, I said it got my attention and made me interested in it. 

America Singer, a simple young girl from a family nearing the brink of
