Book #3: Graceling by Kristin Cashore
His eyes, Katsa had never seen such eyes. One was silver, and the other, gold. They glowed in his sun-darkened face, uneven, and strange. She was surprised that they hadn't shone in the darkness of their first meeting. They didn't seem human....
Then he raised his eyebrows a hair, and his mouth shifted into the hint of a smirk. He nodded at her, just barely, and it released her from her spell.
Cocky, she thought. Cocky and arrogant, this one, and that was all there was to make of him. Whatever game he was playing, if he expected her to join him he would be disappointed.
THIS BOOKS IS AWESOME! my only regret is my reader friends have been recommending this to me for a long time and I just read it now....
The heroine was very strong. And Prince Po is just adorable.. this is just my kind of book...the fantasy, the amzingly constructed book world..JUST PLAIN BEAUTIFUL :)

Book #2: The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sightby Jennifer E. Smith
" Love is the strangest, most illogical thing in the world."
Summary:
Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?
Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. Having missed her flight, she's stuck at JFK airport and late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon-to-be stepmother Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's sitting in her row.
A long night on the plane passes in the blink of an eye, and Hadley and Oliver lose track of each other in the airport chaos upon arrival. Can fate intervene to bring them together once more?
Quirks of timing play out in this romantic and cinematic novel about family connections, second chances, and first loves. Set over a twenty-four-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it.
I picked this book because the title intrigued me so much and I am happy to say that it did not disappoint.
I started reading this at like 11.30 last night just to get me a headstart on what to expect and to continue reading it the nest day..but I immediately got very hooked up that I didn't mind it was already 3 a.m and I should really be going to sleep. But the story is really good I just had to finish it.
The happenings in the book actually revolved in a 24-hour time frame and I wouldn't have it any other way. And Oliver, ooh by the heavens, Oliver.. he's very intelligent, cute..aaaand to top it all off, HE'S BRITISH. Enough said.
All in all, if you like relaxing, cutesy books then I recommend you to read this. It may not be all that life changing (most that I have read in the past year) but it will have you craving that what happened to Hadley might happen to you and that it really can be possible.
CHOW! :))))
Book #1.Pushing the Limits by Katie Mcgarry
"I gazed into her beautiful green eyes and her fear melted. A shy smile tugged at her lips and at my heart. Fuck me and the rest of the world, I was in love."
| — | Pushing the Limits- Katie McGarry First book for this year is Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry. I'm not so good at giving reviews but I'll try so here it goes: At first I was reluctant to continue reading this book because it was too much alike with 'Perfect Chemistry' another book I've read not too long ago but I still continued on and I'm actually not regretting that decision. Though honestly, I couldn't say that I really loved the book but I still felt for it. The separate situations Echo and Noah are suffering under is definitely not shallow. Still with the pressure of being in high school and overcoming their own demons, Echo and Noah fell in love despite coming from two different worlds (cliched, i know). But the ending for me was what I liked, Noah didn't really get what he wanted but it all turned for the better while Echo, finally remembering still has to go under therapy (this is as much spoiler as I can give). It was the fact that it didn't turn out what they want it to be but it turned out to be better.. it was not the fairytale ending but it was the realism of it. And finally, what got me reading this in the first place is: I love Echo and Noah's names. :) teehee! |

Just what made me unti-social?
So... it's 2013 and i haven't posted in a very very long time and to compensate for such absence, I shall share to two of my most favorite (see that I put most+ favorite? I know it's too redundant but that's just to express my undying love for these books.)
. PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS...THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS...
That is the answer to that question over there.
They say that you would never love books unless you find one that's for you. And for me, it was these two series.
Percy Jackson and his friends pretty much showed me what real friendship, adventure and family is. As I was reading this series, I felt as if I was growing up with Percy as he turned from being a little seaweed brain to the brave gorgeous son of the sea god.
And then there's the Mortal Instruments Series. Sometimes, I smack myself for reading this because I have come to love the story and all the characters (yes, even the villains) so much..more than I should, really. And also, I blame this series for my lack of lovelife because JACE HERONDALE (well, that and my completely non-existing social skills).
All in all, I thank those amazing authors for writing all this awesomeness. Their works had become a very important part of my life. These books contributed so much for who I am today (delusional, too imaginative, weirdo...but VERY VERY HAPPY).
