I totally agree! Expected publication is on November 6, 2012

Waa grabe kakilig yung The Golden Lily! So many Sydrian moments. <333 Kainis lang yung ending. Kung kelan naging exciting yung romance bigla namang natapos.

I finished reading Eona and it was even better than the first!! Really like the characters.. A bit sad at the ending though but all is good.
Also read A Walk to Remember. I know ang late na. Haha I watched the movie long ago but just got around to reading the book now. So bittersweet!! I definitely cried in this one.

my reco's 6/19/12
Heya everybody!
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!
