hi everyone, long time no post! what're you guys reading these days? anyway share ko lang my previous reads. :)


Warriors of Ankh Series by Smamantha Young - super cool! Maganda pala siya. Though I think the series could've been more epic, because she has really strong characters pero I still love it to the bones. The author captured the heroines struggle bet. who she is and who she can be beautifully, as well as the romance syempre..hihi! :p

The Darkest Seduction by Gena Showlater - GS outdid herself with this one! As a follower of the series I can really tell that she holds Paris dear in her heart, and super inspired sya while writing his story. Wow sa twists as in!

Because of Low by Abbi Glines - I have read Breathe, where Marcus is 1st introduced and I can say that the writing has definitely improved! I enjoyed this novel more. She managed to make Marcus & Low's romance very believable even though may gusto si Marcus kay Sadie before. so yay for that! :D

About That Night by Julie James - Ms. James did not disappoint me with this one. The witty banters and sassy yet classy dialogues w/c I love in her novels are very much present. Aliw yung story, though sana she showed more conflict on their romance sa may end, medyo bitin. haha

Cinder by Marissa Meyer - What if Cinderella was a cyborg, in a dystopian world, in a country now called New Beijing? Wonder no more because that's what she is in Cinder..gah! Why didn't I read this sooner?! :kainis:

Cinder is badass, like Katniss-badass. She's a mechanic, w/ a super opinionated robot for an assistant (super love her! sana makaimbento sila ng robot na katulad ni Iko at mapunta sakin! harharhar!).

Of course we cant forget Prince Charming diba..introducing, Prince Kai (:wub::cloud9::wub::cloud9:)! Hay, Prince Kai..dreamy, swoon worthy Prince Kai, haha halata ba sa emoticons ang feelings ko? :p. What I love about him is that he wasn't portrayed to be the all-perfect, untouchable hero. He's the gorgeous prince but he is also the shy, boy next-door. I love how their romance developed, though super nakakabitin sa ending.

The plot is brilliant and is set to be super epic. Swear. May plague, may robots, may people na nakatira sa Moon, may prinsesang nawawala, and of course may evil stepmother and stepsister.

Fateful by Cluadia Gray - A paranormal twist on The Titanic. Well written, well researched book. Of course the (jack & rose) movie visual also helps. Super vivid ng images. It kept me reading even though I already knew what will happen to the ship. Maganda yung ending, though bitin again. Pwede syang gawing series ni author dahil may mga unresolved conflicts pa. :D

Demons at Deadnight by A & E Kirk - hiiiiiiiiiii! This novel is hilarious!!!:lolcard: As in super fun, filled with sarcasm and snarky comments all through out the story. Lots of action. If you love anime, you'll love this novel. Some of the scenes here eh sa anime lang nakikita, like demons being flung to the sky, flying off stair banisters, being whacked on the head, things like that. :hit::giggle:

Aurora, the heroine is very sarcastic and funny. Add her to the Hex Boys, did I mention there are six of them? Yeah, six adorably, dorky, sexy and mysterious boys. Kaloka mga dialogues nila. And the romance bet. Aurora and one of them is comparable to Kiera and Kellan's (from Thoughtless), as in magnetic and consuming, though much more younger-teenage-girls friendly.


Ayan, super haba ng post ko.. hehehe..

^ i just up Cinder in my TBR list! thanks for the review! :)

i finished reading A Week to be Wicked by Tessa Dare (booo...1 book lang :lol:) it was nice and sweet (a level lower than Linda Howard's Duncan's Bride and Eloisa James' When Beauty Tamed the Beast), so if anyone still likes historical romances i recommend this one :)

Hello everyone!

Wow super tagal ko na hindi nagpost ng reco's dito.. Hmm.. well, let's start shall we? :yipee:

ROMANCE

Kristen Ashley Books
COLORADO MOUNTAIN SERIES

1. The Gamble
2. Sweet Dreams
3. Lady Luck

--> Makes you want to be the lead woman! Each book's plot is different and they're all good. You should try this if you want to have a strong, hot, country man.. scenese are also very sweet ^^

DREAM MAN SERIES

1. Mystery Man
2. Wild Man
3. Law Man

--> More intense lotsa action than Colorado Mountain Series.

Knight - Ganda rin ng story pero mejo too much for me...

Heaven and Hell - Ang galing nung main woman dito... survivor talaga and it's very sweet.

Until the Sun falls from the Sky - Shockingly, i liked this. Wanna give read an adult vampire romance that you won't be disappointed with? Give this one a shot.


R.L. Mathewson Books:

Tall, Dark and Lonely - Really good vampire novel. You will feel good, bad, good, bad and then ultimately, good again.

A Humble Heart - REALLY good!! super sweet. You'll follow the journey of two very popular people who tried really hard to be together despite the dangers brought by fame. I love it.

A Reclusive Heart - I LOVE THIS MORE!!! geek turned into a swan!! Ang ganda.. i swear.. ang sweet sweet ni Nick! I bet you'll love this. Especially if you liked stories like Love Unscripted, Trust in Advertising etc...


CONTEMPORARY ROMANCES:

If you just want to have a good time and be happy before, while and after reading, these stories are nice enough and will totally make your day:

❖About That Night by Julie James --> Not her best work, but still.. It's JJ's work and the story's fun to read. I really really really like Kyle!

❖Yours to Keep (Kowalski Family #3) by Shannon Stacey

❖The Marriage Bargain by Jennifer Probst

❖Can't Buy Me Love by Maggie Marr

❖Having My Baby by Theresa Ragan

❖Blue-Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas


Hotah- hotah book
--These are of course, hotter and some are shorter reads.. good stories too..

❖Improper Relations by Julianna Ross

❖Staking his Claim by Lynda Chance

❖Love's Rhythm by Lexxie COuper

❖Liberating Lacey by Anne Calhoun

❖BARED TO YOU by SYLVIA DAY - If you liked Fifty Shades, READ THIS!!!


YOUNG ADULT
--Fun reads, some has sequels though... ^^

❖THE LOST HERO by RICK RIORDAN -- WE SHOULD ALL READ THIS!! bata, matanda .. whateverr.. this book is soooo good.. I miss Percy!

❖Going Under by Georgia Cates

❖Existence by Abbi Glines - I promised not to read the second book in this series kasi baka mabitin ako.. :)

❖Immortal Mine by Cindy C. Benett

❖Open Minds by Susan Kaye Quinn - unique read.. will wait for the next one

❖Darkness Falls by Jessica Sorensen - KICKASS girl.. galing ng zombie plot nila.. Looking forward to the sequel.

❖Chasing McCree - This is quite different... they're teens pero they act like 20's na.. Very sweet and maganda yung story.

❖DELIRIUM - Of course, parang late na akong basahin to hehehe.. anyway.. if you liked "MATCHED", I'm sure you'll like this. The idea of the book is very interesting. I can't imagine it happening in real life. May times na natatawa ako sa rules nila but mostly, I was waiting for action parts that rarely happened. I'll wait for the third book to come though cuz i heard bitin din yung book 2.

Hmmmm.. so there....yan palang for now. :)


Let's all enjoy reading! :)

6th May 2012 Sun, 15:44
^Ang dami nyan yche09! LOL. A Reclusive Heart is quite interesting, I'll probably read it later.

************************************

Here are the books I've read that are worth mentioning:

Young Adult Series:

Hex Hall series by Rachel Hawkins >>> this series reminds me of Harry Potter, but what really made me read the entire series was Sophie's sarcasm. :p I still can't forgive Hawkins for what she did to Cal :ranting:, but overall it was a fun read.

Violet Eden Chapters by Jessica Shirvington >>> I wasn't expecting to enjoy this series because Violet annoys me sometimes, the reason I read the second book was because of Phoenix, I know he's supposed to be the bad guy, but I just love him. I enjoyed Emblaze, ayun lang kakabitin, I can't wait to read the next book!


Elemental Series by Brigid Kemmerer >>> I enjoyed the first book a lot (Storm), this is the first time that I read a book about elementals which is a nice break from the common paranormal novels. There was a short preview for the next book (Spark), and It'll be out on August 28th, yay!:excited:

Angelfall by Susan Ee >>> I loved this book, thank you guys for recommending this one! I can't even...:praise: yeah, it was awesome, nuff said.

Stand-alone YA novels:

Melina Marchetta

On the Jellicoe Road >>> this novel deserved the Printz award, ang sakit sa puso, LOL. Naguluhan ako sa simula, you have to be really patient because the story will start to make sense halfway through the story pa...but when it does, haaayyy.:weep:

Saving Francesca and The Piper's Son >>> I was emotionally drained after reading these books (esp. The Piper's Son), ganda ng story. I really enjoyed Marchetta's writing , may mga parts na very emotional and then a character will blurt a joke to relieve the tension, ayun ang galing, parang emotional roller coaster ride lang, =p

The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May, & June by Robin Benway >>> Hillarious!!! This book will make you laugh so hard until your stomach hurt.

Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma>>> I finally gave in, LOL. I was reluctant in reading this novel kasi nga incestous daw, but after reading it, I wasn't disgusted. In fact, I wanted Maya and Lochan to be together so bad. Haayyy, another tear-jerker.

Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson >>> If you liked Nick and Norah's Infinite playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan you'll enjoy this one too. May similarities kasi yung structure nung dalawang novels.

Historical Romance:

How to Series by Vicky Dreiling

How to Marry a Duke (book#1) >>> this is a fun read, a historical version of The Bachelor.
How to Ravish a Rake (book#3) >>> if you liked the Wallflower series by Lisa Kleypass you'll probably enjoy this too.

di ko pa nababasa yung 2nd book:lol:

Currently reading: The Body Finder Series by Kimberly Derting>>> I'm enjoying it so far, this is a lighter and less gruesome version of the Bishop series.

Wow ang dami na niyong nabasa. :o

Here are the books I've recently read and my thoughts:

Froi of the Exiles by Melina Marchetta - So I loved the first book, Finnikin of the Rock so I was expecting this to be as amazing. While it was still great, I didn't like it as much probably because I didn't really like the girl here. Haha. I love Marchetta's writing though so I'll probably read more of her works!

I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga - Something very original, imo and not something that I've seen before in YA. Definitely a darker topic but the author injects some humor into it. I love the main character and I love that this book was more introspective.

I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: Nine's Legacy - I just read this one now but I gotta say that I don't really like Nine haha. He seemed so arrogant to me but you guys might feel differently. Can't wait for the Rise of Nine.

The False Prince by Jennifer Nielsen - I really liked this. The plot was really interesting and multi-layered. I also loved the main character. He was very clever and also witty. I saw the twist coming, but it was still a good read.

The List by Siobhan Vivian - I expected a lot from this but in the end, it just really disappointed. There seemed to be no answers to my questions and the whole thing wasn't really explained and tackled at all. It left off leaving me feeling like something was lacking.

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - It was a touching story and it had really wonderful phrases. I wish I loved this as much as others obviously do, but it just didn't do so much for me...

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card - I can see why this is famous and why people love it! For a novel written back in the 80's it's definitely very futuristic and technology is really the focus of society now and our main means of communication. I love this because it deals with human nature as well and how people think.

The Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan - A good conclusion to the series! Especially the little things revealed there at the end.. Makes me think that maybe we'll be seeing something more in the future. A merging of worlds, maybe? Hmm I hope so!

------

I have a question pala, anybody read Anna Dressed in Blood? Is it scary? Like the creepy-dont-read-this-before-sleeping-or-you-will-have-nightmares scary? Or OA lang ibang reviewers in Goddreads? I've wanted to read this for a long tiime now, but I'm worried..haha..

------

here're some of my reads..:)

Divergent Series by Veronica Roth - I love it as in..I'm glad that I just read this now, and I got to read the 2 books back to back..though I suggest not to compare this to Hunger Games, para no disappointments..most of the reviews I read kasi have the prob of comparing this to HG, to me the series has its own charm, and nagandahan naman ako, esp sa 2nd book, and the end had me wishing for the 3rd already..

@yche

Love Tobias too! Though I'm more fond of his nickname, Four..hihi..I agree I liked Tris better sa 1st book, pero I love their struggles naman in the 2nd book, you know, their fights..so I appreciate Tris' behavior nadin, and how she seemed more like she knows herself..I also love how the book takes off running, mas action-packed sya kesa sa 1st one..and I can only imagine the 3rd book, with the way it was left sa ending..you know [spoiler->] I've always wondered why the world is contained in one city lang, no descriptions of what's outside it..yun pala may pagka Maze Runner sya.. hay I wish the release will come sooner..

Hands down sa story nila. About Tris, umokay naman sya in the end eh... at the part na /spoiler papatayin na dapat sya.. and then sabi nya I don't wanna die .. i was rolling my eyes and I wanna shout at her OF COURSE AYAW MO. LOLS. Super bilib ako kay FOUR (love the nick too :) ) cuz he stayed with Tris kahit anu pa mang mga awayan nila. Ayun.. oh well, another year of waiting? ;)

Some reco's

FERAL SINS by Suzanne Wright - Great shifter novel! Ang sweet nila and grabe mga banters between characters. Super nakakatawa and yet, may action parts din. I love it.

TAKING SHOTS by Toni Aleo - All about a hockey star and an insecure yet very rich girl. I LOVE SHEA! unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of the main girl.. too many insecurities for my taste... pero worth it basahin dahil kay Shea. Uber sweet kasi :yipee:

something caught my eye while searching for ebooks

Ian Somerhalder in Fifty Shades of Grey?

Ian Somerhalder totally wants to play smoldering sexpot Christian Grey in whatever film adaptation of the hit light S&M novel Fifty Shades of Grey might be made -- but someone very close to the actor isn't so keen on the idea.

Somerhalder has expressed a huge amount of interest in the role, telling Ryan Seacrest last month, "I absolutely would be up for that. It could be very, very amazing," Somerhalder said. "I have the book and I just started reading it. That would be a pretty incredible thing, and hopefully that could pan out."

"Beyond the shadow of a doubt, I think that would be a phenomenal opportunity!"

The actor's Vampire Diaries co-star and real life girlfriend Nina Dobrev
Nina Dobrev
is rumored to be under consideration to play Grey's submissive sex partner Anastasia Steele, but frankly she isn't too keen on it.


Nina Dobrev on Ian Somerhalder's Desire to be in Fifty Shades of Grey: "I Bought Him the Book" >>


"I don't know if that's a good idea," she told MTV News. "I think it's best for any of the actors on the Vampire Diaries to kind of do their own things... and create new characters. And as much as you try when you shoot a movie, if it's two of the same people, the fans will always see you as... they'll see me as Elena and they'll see him as Damon if we do a film together."

"I think it would be better [if] either he should get it or I should get it," she said. "I know that apparently he's really great for the role, so I hope that he gets it."

Harumph. That's a bummer, because seeing these two get down and dirty on-screen would totes give fans a peek at what they're like under the sheets in real life, wouldn't it? She's such a party pooper.


well... i'm rooting for him to get role. steamy and sexy :yipee:

Ian Somerhalder in Fifty Shades of Grey?

My gay friend posted this stuff in facebook too, i think aside from Ian, si Ryan Gosling and Matt Bommer eh gusto din yata yung role. I'm not really sure pero pinost lang din nung friend ko sa fb. Ian is perfect, I wouldn't mind if Matt Bomer gets the role too because I love him, LOL, pero parang di ko ma-imagine si Ryan as Christian Grey.

Really good book.

re: Fifty shades and Ian Somerhalder, although i haven't fully read Fifty i think i prefer him or Ryan to do it instead of Matt Bomer.

Ian is hawt while Ryan has the acting chops to do the emoting :lol:

i saw in amazon forum na they doubt if they can get an A actor for the role though, so Ryan should not be a contender.

Matt on the other hand is gay and me knowing he is gay, i lost interest in him :lol:

@letletm: glad you loved Angelfall!!! nadagdagan na naman ang naghihintay ng sequel..harharhar! ;)

@momma: hi! I think pasok naman yung My sister is a vampire sa age ng daughter mo. along with Beverly Cleary books, A series of unfortunate events, Harry Potter? (the first 2 or 3 books anyway)

-----

Recent Reads:

The Iron Fey Series by Julie Kagawa - Swear! I did not expect I'd ever read a book about fairies, but this, I super love! It did turn out as my exception in this genre, though I hope meron pa, but for now I'm content with this series..WOW, now I see what all the good reviews are about, I was missing out! this series is def. way up on my fave list..I read everything including the novellas and any others I could get my greedy hands on..and I'm now patiently waiting for the spin-off!


Easy by Tammara Webber - Webber just gained a new fan with this novel - ME! :p definitely one of the best heartwarming love stories I've read..right along w/ Thoughtless/Effortless, Beautiful Disaster, Vincent Boys, etc.

@yche - diba ganda ng Easy..I thought it was the sweetest..I'm REALLY hoping for a sequel..and its not just the main characters that are lovable, even the supporting ones..her best friend, the teacher, heck I love her seatmate too! :lol:

I'm reading Between the Lines right now, grabe, Reid is a jerk! sino ba talaga partners dito? naguguluhan ako sa blurbs ng mga sequels..haha..:kainis:


@lycan - yay! glad you love Divergent..ako I like Insurgent more, just a tiny, tiny bit..haha..mas action-packed kasi sya..

Despite it being summer, I haven't had that much time to read :( Posting my recent ones though..

Insurgent by Veronica Roth - Way better than the first book. I actually liked this one. The first was like... okay lang in my opinion but the author definitely improved with this one. More action and more character development with Tris :) I'd recommend this now.

Goliath by Scott Westerfeld - The last book in the Leviathan trilogy. It's a steampunk novel. It revolves around WWI and it's more of an alternate reality. Did not like the ending that much though but still, I really liked this series! Sad to see it end.

The Enchantress by Michael Scott - Again, the last book in the series. It definitely ended with a bang and answered questions that were posed throughout the series. A lot of action but also heartwarming moments.

The Merchant's Daughter by Melanie Dickerson - Sort of a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It's also a Christian fiction (I did not know before reading it) so God is very prominent here. I really liked the main characters. I quite liked this one too.

Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink - It was okay, but I was expecting more. The main tone of the book was a bit dreary and mostly inner monologue which wasn't all that... captivating. I've read books focusing on the inner thoughts of the characters which were done so much better. Hopefully the next books improve. I'm eager to see what happens to the sisters.

Another Easy fan here. hehe Easy is easily my fave YA romance novel. Definitely good! Highly Recommended! Though, it kinda reminded me of Beautiful Disaster maybe because they're in college and the hero--being a bad boy and all-- seemed out of the girl's league. But without the hero's craziness in Beautiful Disaster. Everything I loved about BD, I found in Easy.

After this, Landon Lucas is hands down the best YA hero for me. :) I mean he's hot, hardworking, responsible, intelligent, martial artist, and he can cook too! What more could a girl ask for? lol

7th Jun 2012 Thu, 16:37

@letletm - oooooh another thoughtless/effortless addict..haha..I just finished rereading Effortless for the millionth time :lol:, did you know there'll be a third book? super duper excited na'ko!!! :p


@lycan - was gonna reco Maze Runner, haha..oh well..:D, have you read Angelfall by Susan Ee?


@mohcandy - haha, I agree, its like the author took all the good things in BD and made it better. I love that Lucas isn't exactly a bad boy, he just looks like it. I also love that its empowering to girls who will read this novel. Like the self-defense lessons where given emphasis, para ka na ring umattend ng lessons..:D

^Yup dystopian yung Angelfall by Susan Ee. Ma-action sya, book 1 pa lang kaya kakainip maghintay, pero maganda.:thumbsup:

Wow, daming recos ah. I'm also a huge fan of Easy too, ganda ng story. Di ko pa binabasa yung Divergent and Insurgent, hihintayin ko na lang makumpleto yung series bago ko basahin:lol:

I just finished Graceling by Kristin Cashore, sobrang huli na ako lols, pero I really liked it. Hindi ko pa nababasa yung books 2 and 3, hopefully maganda din.

I also read Of Poseidon and it's prequel Legacy Lost by Anna Banks, maganda din sya, nakakabitin, lol.

I read The Selection by Kiera Cass, and I think it wasn't THAT bad, nag enjoy nga ako eh, naapektuhan lang siguro yung mga readers dahil sa unprofessional behavior ni
Kiera Cass towards negative reviewers.

@maysapaw,
This is a super late reaction...OMFG! I didn't know that Matt Bomer is gay (sigh), sayang ang gwapo pa naman...bakit parang matanda naman yung partner nya. Sino kaya sa kanilang dalawa yung fem? haha, anyway, I hope Ian gets the role of Christian Grey.

re:Angelfall - hay me too..esp. after that ending..but I think medyo matatagalan pa 2nd book coz the author got signed to a publisher, and they're working on a re-release..indie author kasi sya before, pero hindi halata sa Angelfall diba..I just hope hindi mabago ang writing nya now that may deadlines and such na sya, for me it's worth the wait basta kasing ganda if not more ng 1st book..:pray:

aw, you like Cinder too...I love you already...haha..betcha love Kai too..hihi..:p

Wla pang details sa book 2 which makes me anticipate about it more, haha. I love the way she writes, ngulat dn ako na Indie sya ang gling kc ng pgkka sulat nya. I hope sing ganda ng book 1 agree ako sayo dyan. :)

http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1337964452l/12812550.jpg

In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed "Daughter of Smoke and Bone," Karou must come to terms with who and what she is, and how far she'll go to avenge her people. Filled with heartbreak and beauty, mysteries and secrets, new characters and old favorites, Days of Blood and Starlight brings the richness, color and intensity of the first book to a brand new canvas.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone was declared a "must read" by Entertainment Weekly, was named a Best Book of the Year by Amazon.com, and The New York Times called it "a breath-catching romantic fantasy."

emphasis on the "old favorites"...really hoping its who I hope they are..:pray:

@letletm - re:thoughtless/effortless, hmmmm lemme think about that..I actually don't think I've read anything quite close to it in the contemporary genre..hmmm, maybe

Beautiful Disaster
Abbi Glines' Sea Breeze & Vincent Boys series
Perfect Chemistry

pero I feel like you've read these already eh..:)

I believe the 3rd book will revolve about the band's rise to fame..based on the teasers I've read..:)

but I think there's one Paranormal nga lang sya..its Demons at Deadnight, super fun 'to I swear! and the intensity bet. the H&H here matches thoughtless/effortless..

Wow i missed posting a detailed reco list here. Sobrang dami ko na nabasa na I didn't put here. Hmpf.. So, I'm rectifying it. I'm hoping that I can entice you guys to read these books! ✾◕ ‿ ◕✾

note: I don't post titles which I didn't truly like / love or whatever. If I'm your friend sa goodreads, andun po yung iba.

ROMANCE

Kristen Ashley Books - again! haha

ROCK CHICK SERIES

1. ROCK CHICK
2. ROCK CHICK RESCUE
3. ROCK CHICK REDEMPTION
4. ROCK CHICK RENEGADE
5. ROCK CHICK REVENGE
6. ROCK CHICK RECKONING
7. ROCK CHICK REGRET

--> Each book is much shorter than my previous reco's (e.g Colorado Mountain series).
--> Kung gusto mo tumawa ng tumawa witch action pero feel good din... this is for ya!
--> My favorite? I can't say I have one... kasi grabe, they're all good. You will fall in love with their men pero you just wanna be like this girls. I wanna have posse like them!

Last book in Kristen Ashley's Dream Man Series - MOTORCYCLE MAN

--> If you really want a total ALPHA MALE.. LIKE TOTALLY WITHOUT A DOUBT ALPHA, you may want to read this. If you also have no qualms about older couple.. i repeat, OLDER COUPLE.. then, you have no problem reading this.


R.L. Mathewson Books - again again!! hahaha

A Neighbor From Hell Series

--> I honestly thought that this was some sort of paranormal romance... I did not read any blurb when I started this. Turns out, it's contemporary and super nakakatawa. AS IN. I think one of my girlies here in symbianize will eventually love Jason and Trevor. They both have an ego the size og a mountain, THEY BOTH EAT A LOT.. LIKE FRIKKING A LOOOTTT, and still.. they have their moments.
Prepare to laugh your hearts out! (っ◕‿◕)っ ♥

1. Playing for Keeps
2. Perfection

YA CONTEMPORARIES:


1. WHAT A BOY WANTS by Nyrae Dawn - To me, this is good kasi it's written in the guy's POV. He's so sure of himself talaga nung una. It was really fun reading of him eating his own words in the end (morbid ba? ahaha). This is one good story of finding love which has been right in front of you all along.

2. WHAT A BOY NEEDS by Nyrae Dawn - Guy's POV too. Yung protagonist dito na guy eh barkada nung nasa What a boy wants. Tighly knitted kasi sila. Anywayyy.. this is good too kasi it showed us the ugly truth na minsan talaga, some aren't fit to be parents... and kahit ganun, you have to feel good about your self. Don't let others bring you down with just some words. I remember feeling good after reading this book even though his family never made up.

3. Fragile by M. Leighton - Boy and girl POV. Emotional and yet, super sweet read. You will have to forgive the main guy at first kasi super obnoxious nya. Pero his character changes eventually. The girl on the other hand... YOU WILL BE AMAZED. Somehow, you'd want to have her strength of character and you'd want to be like her. Super positive kasi nya lagi and she always sees something good about everything. I dunno.. maybe I'm just sappy.. pero I really liked this one especially the grand gesture in the end.

4. Sea Griswold's Head by Lindsey Leavitt - Girl POV. One of those reads na ang sarap hampasin nung girl while we all console the guy. . . and still, you wanna finish it kasi may meaning and may lesson yung story. You'd want to know kung matututo ba sya or not. Anyway, I love this kasi maganda yung story. Ewan ko, I just find this unique. Mejo funny pero may tear jerkers na scenes.

5. EASY - IT'S EASY TO LOVE EASY. NEED I SAY MORE?? ≧❀‿❀≦

6. What I didn't say by Keary Taylor - Guy's POV (I know, I know, I am on a roll for guys' pov's). DISCLAIMER: You will feel sorry for the guy kasi he lost his voice pero you will feel SORRIER for the girl. This is another good YA story which will teach us to SEIZE THE DAY (corny eh? pero yun talaga.. I swear). I found Jake's written words (on paper, since he cannot speak anymore) cute. May ups and downs din since I really don't know what to expect from a mute YA character. But all in all, i loved it. (◡‿◡✿) *sigh*


YA PARANORMALS:

1. Demons at Deadnight by A&E Kirk - Mother-daughter tandem ang authors nito. Isn't it great? I love this kasi pwede natin isama si main girl, Aurora sa KICKASS GIRLS list. Super action packed. Maybe the only downside is that the action scenes are so many and it ended too fast. Anyway, SIX HOT GUYS ang nandito... i know, i know mejo weird, but still, whatever works for them, right? Mataas parin rating nito sa goodreads.

2. Storm by Brigid Kemmerer - Apparently, I am also on a roll for books with reverse-harem. This one's got 4 hot guys in it. Each of them has powers and all that cool stuff. I sorta kinda remember THE COVENANT (movie) with this one. Kaya kung fan ka nung movie na yun, this one's for ya honeyyy. Mejo nakakainis yung girl so I won't go into full detail about her. I just wanna get to the next book.. which is.. sa August pa. Hmpf.

3. Defiance --Third book in The Significance Series by Shelly Crane - Can I just say, too sweet? Mejo uber sweet nga to pero I totally love what happened in the end (except for one part). I am a fan of this series so sana maganda and ending.. hindi ko kasi nagustuhan yung ending ng isang series ni SC (Devoured).. mejo bland so I truly hope na it doesn't happen in this one too.

LAST ON MY LIST FOR NOW:

***DRUM ROLL PLEASE***

THE IRON DRUID CHRONICLES
BY Kevin Hearne

I actually listened to it's audiobooks and it's totally WORTH IT. Fantasy, anybody? Who wants to laugh out loud while imagining being a friend of the protagonist, Atticus? This series is just plain AWESOME! It has the right mixture of paranormal beings, sense of humor and action scenes. Super smart ni Atticus and I really want to be with him. I guess I also owe it sa narrator (Luke Daniels, narrated UNWIND too) kasi he has such a great voice parang totoo talaga. Romance? um sorry my girlies, kahit super gwapo ng guy sa front cover, wala pa akong nababasang concrete romance dito. Well, book 2 palang naman ako... so, we shall see.

--> I am confused on what genre this should be at... no concrete romance so Romance is out. The guy looks 21 but he's actually thousands and thousands years old so I guess YA is also out. That leaves us with fantasy,.. yeah, maybe it's fantasy,

Anywayyy.. I recommend this series to all. Please read it if you have time. (✿◠‿◠)

1. Hounded
2. Hexed

Books 3 and 4, hindi ko pa nababasa pero I have a strong feeling na I will love it too. ;p

Ayan.. I hope you guys can read one or two books from this list.

keep on reading!

@ yche09,

Ang haba ng list! LOL, I've read and loved RL Mathewson books, and I agree that A Neighbor From Hell series is hilarious.

Puro YA contemporaries nabasa ko lately. Here are my recos:

Thomas & January by Fisher Amelie (Book 2 of Sleepless series)
My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
Snapshot (Book 2 of Jamieson's Diaries) by Angie Stanton
That Wedding (That Boy #2) by Jillian Dodd
The Vincent Brothers (The Vincent Boys #2) by Abbi Glines
Forever Changed by Tiffany King
puro series? LOL.

Dun sa mga fan ng Fifty Shades trilogy, you might enjoy Bared to you (Crossfire #1) by Sylvia Day.

Off topic:

Sino sa inyo nakabasa na ng Fire (Graceling Realm 2) by Kristin Cashore? What do you guys think about the book?

Any recos for mystery/thriller genre? :noidea:

michael crichton - congo, sphere, andromeda strain (most of his earlier works).

nelson demille - The Lion's Game (any book with John Corey as the main man).

jeffrey archer - eleventh commandment, a matter of honor, honor among thieves (these are archer's non saga type/kind of books which i prefer)

for medical thriller, michael palmer and robin cook (ayaw mo ng magpadoctor pagkatapos mung magbasa ng mga books nila :lol: )

currently reading Allison Brennan evil series okay naman.

Title: The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure
Author : James Dashner
Genre: Young Adult - Dystopia

Main Character: Thomas
At first his a bit annoying, but later on the trilogy, His good sense of of judgement saves the day

Fave Character: Minho
The asian guy. Keeper of the Runners. Kinda, bossy in book 2. And lots of temper on this guy. But that is what keeps him interesting.

Newt
One of the gladers. What a sad ending on this character. :(


As intriguing as the summary may be the pacing was kind of slow in the first half of maze runner. It sounded a little confusing at first but really exciting at the same time.

The mystery and curiosity of the story has kept me going.

When I finished the first book,I didn’t expect to enjoy and I wanted to continue reading the book immediately.

the 2nd book, The Scorch Trials, I felt the book was ended abruptly. So much intense and action happen, i didn't realize its over. I can't believe the characters went that far on the trials.



The story progressed at such a quick pace (second half of the first book book 3) to that you couldn’t catch your breath. I couldn’t believe what was happening during the entire series, and couldn’t stop reading.


Dashner does an excellent job of crafting a world of teenage boys. The egos, the attitudes, the language, the brotherhood.

The Maze Runner was intersting and intriguing , The Scorch Trials was unbelievable, and The Death Cure made for an unforgettable ending that I felt a little sadness because the trilogy is over.

There are a lot of books. I wish i could encounter like this one ,(with emotional spin) - a good story




Rating : 5/5

Title: Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days #1)
Author : Susan Ee
Genre: Young Adult - Dystopia, Paranormal

Main Char:

Penryn - Reminds me a great deal of the infamous Katniss Everdeen. She is brave, resourceful & kickass. She doesn't wait to be saved but takes matters into her own hands. When there's a problem, she does her best to solve it. She may be desperate but she is also a survivor.

Raffe - there’s a certain amount of arrogance about him, but he’s mostly just charming.
Charming and arrogant with ethereal, demi god features = yummy! more! more!


I never thought I would love this book. First, I hate YA novels with angels as characters. I dont know why, I guess my first YA was not as good as this one. I was convinced by my fellow symbianize readers, that Angelfall is a must read, knock out book. well it turns out it is. Even it is Indie, The quality is topnotch. I love the banter between the characters, it makes me smile while i'm reading.


Hoping the book 2, will show more romance side of the characters as well as action and intrigue. and of course more Raffe!

Rating : 100/100 :) nuff said

^ pangit ang Angelfall, pangit!!!!!

*run and hides*

:lol:

halfway pa lang ako sa book (long time ago)....di pa rin talaga ako maka-YA...or better yet, di talaga ako mahilig sa dystopian stories. di ko kasi maimagine na mga YA ang magsasave sa mundo after a major world war or post apocalyptic event :lol: i am crazy :lol:
