ELEANOR AND PARK BOOK REVIEW

FINALLY  had a copy of Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. I've been searching for it forever!

The moment I read the first paragraph, I knew that my emotions while reading this story will only be going downward spiral. I never expected for it to have a happy ending, I expected someone dying, someone very much maltreated, well, expectations broken. 

Eleanor came from a rough family,many siblings, abusive stepdad, irresponsible father, blind mother. Park was spoon fed all his life,

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

UPSTAIRS BED AND BATH: BAGUIO CITY

To those who are looking for a cheap and comfortable place to stay in Baguio, then the UPSTAIRS BED AND BATH is the place for you.

Located at the Heart of the City, walking distance from the SM Baguio (about 5 minutes away or even three if you are a fast walker), Session Road and walking distance from Victory Liner ( we walked for about 8 minutes). Very easy to find, your landmark would be the Barrio Fiesta or BIR which are both on the side of this place.

They have double Decker beds, the lower bunk costs 350php and the upper bunks costs 250php. This place is best for backpackers and travelers who are on a tight budget. 

They have rooms good for four persons, and they I think a room good for twelve people. 

The place has common bath and restrooms, has wifi, common eating area, but doesn't have televisions.
