Until now.—I was really suppose to rate this 4 stars only but well, I can do a little favoritism every now and then. This book literally had be gushing, blushing and flushing all the way through. Obviously, the adventure for own two lovebirds is a bit rough - well, a lot rough. There’s drama - of course -, hearbreak, betrayal, hurt, trust problems, fluff, hot kisses and everything in between. This book is a perfect balance of all. In my opinion, this book can even stand alone. (But who wouldn’t want another piece of Jude with the next two books?!)I am seriously hooked with how the author herself writes the book. I love how she word things and how she types up scenes. This is exactly the way I wish the rest of the authors can write. Kudos to you, Nicole Williams! I am seriously, seriously looking forward to your other words. The only thing I noticed is that she loved to repeat some phrases. Sometimes, it’s okay. The other times, not so much. So, maybe less of that. Haha.Okay, I’m off to read the sequel. Ta da!

Book Review: How To Be Popular

Book: How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot

Rating: ★★★

Favorite Line: “And the truth is, I’d felt kind of a thrill about wearing Jason’s Big Boy pants. I was a sick kid, even way back then.”

———-

Everyone wants to be popular - or at least, Stephanie Landry does. After the Super Big Gulp incident, Steph’s always been in the loser side of high school. That will all change now, she thought, because she have The Book! All she needs to do is follow the instructions in it and soon she’ll be partying with the popular kids (including total hottie Mark Finley) instead of sitting on The Hill every Saturday night hanging out with her nerdy friend Becca, and even nerdier Jason (now kinda hot, but still).

If you’re looking for a light read, this is the one for you! While this is a YA book, it can appeal to readers of all ages. It will show you the real side of a teenager’s life. Her adventures throughout high school, with her friends and families! In every decision she made, new lessons are being learned. Her journey to those discoveries are one that you should try going with! You’ll surely like Steph as much as you adored Mia Thermopolis. Meg Cabot has done it again. This book is a manual that I wished I had when I was still in high school. But, you know, I’m surely gonna try it our in college. ;)

Fallen.

3 stars. I have just reread it the other day. The first time I read it, I don’t like it very much. The second time, I think it was a bit, well, better. Maybe I became a cynic after a year or something. I wouldn’t know. Anyways… The cover is beyond amazing! I have to at least get that out. I really believed it would be this amazing book because of that. Silly me, I know. The plot’s actually really good, contrary to people’s belief. However, it was not greatly narrated. Like, it just gives us this plot and then, bam! That’s it. Not so much history and whatever. As for the characters, I don’t find Daniel interesting. Cam’s more of an eye-candy and was more known. I’m also a bit baffled by the heroine (Luce) ‘cause she keeps mooning over a guy that is a complete jerk over her. Long story short, I think it’s a good enough read. I’m just not sure if I’ll be buying its sequels - because it’s also expensive. lol.

The Lost Hero.

4.5 stars. Just like the Percy Jackson & The Olympians series, The Lost Hero kept me hooked. I loved how it’s like a puzzle and every little pieces came together. Jason’s missing memories. Piper’s dream. Leo’s past. It’s all amazing. I also loved how Rick Riordan mixed Greek and Roman mythology without major confusion on the reader’s part. Throughout the whole book, I keep wondering where my Percy Jackson is. It gets me on the edge. Honestly, I have a feeling that this series would be better than the Percy Jackson & The Olympians series and that’s saying a lot!
