MOVING IN

Since Multiply decided to leave social networking, I have decided to evacuate my blogs in there (in all their glory, which translates to=sTicKy cAps). I used to write blogs using my mobile phone before and I text using sticky caps so I got stuck with the habit. LOL

The blogs were actually full of nonsense, but since I'm a sentimental person (NAKS!) I don't have the heart to just let it be deleted, forever and ever. I'd copy and paste 'em AS IS! No edits! Hahaha

Here we go....

30 Days Book Challenge - Day 27

Day 27 - Favorite Book in Young Adult Fiction

I am NOT going to say it's Graffiti Moon. I'd choose something different this time. Haha. It's actually part of my August 2012 reading list so I just read it recently. One of the best books I've read with VERY memorable characters.



Auggie is just so LOVABLE.
The book showed me how there is still good in every one of us.

30 Days Book Challenge - Day 26

Day 26 - Favorite book of your favorite writer.

Okay! Favorites! Goodness, I'm running out of answers in here. Yeap. I've read lots of books (not that I'm bragging) but I'm so sick of repeating myself since most of my favorite books came from my favorite authors. So. I dunno. Lemme think...think...think...

Aww yeah. I know. I'm collecting this series called "The Alphabet Series" written by Sue Grafton. And I do like Ms. Grafton. I just don't know if she's like...my favorite. Its just that I love Kinsey Millhone (that's the female heroine), I sometimes think that somewhere out there there's a real Kinsey Millhone living in some Santa Teresa town. So, since Ms. Millhone is a favorite, and she's a product of Ms. Grafton's great imagination, therefore it would be acceptable if Ms. Grafton will be a favorite too, right? Whatever!

So, I'd choose my favorite from the series:

Dodoong~~~



There. Question answered!

Please Ignore Vera Dietz - A.S. King (The Quote Book 6)

   

Gave this book 4-stars on Goodreads, but the truth is I'm itching to give this one a 5. Now why? I'm a sucker for happy endings, and the end wasn't really bad or something. Vera was fine with her Dad, Charlie's name was cleared...but somehow, for me that wasn't enough. I just felt really bad that Charlie had to die (Of course he must, that's what the whole story is all about) without even telling Vera that he loved her (so much it scared him). Yes, Vera eventually found out because of a stupid note. BUT a NOTE isn't really enough for me (Gawd! I can't believe how demanding I am).

Okay, the characters.

Charlie...This guy confused me. A lot. I think I actually went in the same emotions as Vera. I fell in love with the guy, seriously, who wouldn't?! His eccentricity only adds to the attraction. (Even though napkin-eating is sort of, gross). I hated him too. For a lot of things. For being a coward. The guy should've just told Vera that he loved her. He should've just dealt with his feelings for his best friend and not ran away from it and seek some comfort with that Jenny Flick (UGH. Major UGH!).

Vera...I like the girl. And her guts. And her ability to use "big words" as Charlie puts it so wisely. lol

James...I dunno why, but I wasn't really into James. Just like Charlie, I also didn't want Vera to end up with him even though that guy was kind of, nice, actually. I just don't. Period.

Jenny Flick...Really. Just three words for this girl. I HATE HER.

I've been raving about this book a lot on Twitter. And there's a lot of good quotes in the book which I've posted in there...and I'm posting in here (again!)

"I'd rather feel something for real than pretend it's not what it is."

'i want to tell her that the only thing you get from walling yourself is empty'

'i missed him long before he was dead, and that's the bitch of it all. I missed him long before he was dead'

'but you're still my best friend, Veer. You'll always be' - Charlie Kahn to Vera Dietz

'i felt a mix of wanting to kill him and wanting to kiss him at the same time'

...but somehow it was that not-like-us that made me love Charlie more.'

'even in death, Charlie is frustrating as hell'

'loving Vera Dietz was the scariest thing that ever happened to me'

“Is it okay to hate a dead kid? Even if you loved him once? Even if he was my best friend? Is it okay to hate him for being dead?” 

“The thing you don't see while you're still there on Earth is how easy it is to change your mind. When you're in it and you're mixed up with feelings, assumptions, influences, and misconceptions, things seem completely impossible to change. From here, you see that change is as easy as flicking a light switch in your brain.” 

30 Days Book Challenge - Day 25

Day 25 - Favorite Title

I'm the type of reader who judges the book based on its title, so for me, a great title is really an attraction. I don't really have a favorite among all the books I've read, but maybe I'd select some which amused me.

And Then There Were None - Agatha Christie: The title definitely summed up the whole book.

Why Didn't They Ask Evans? - Agatha Christie: The question which started it all. (In all fairness to Dame Christie, she really knows how to pick a good title)

Graffiti Moon - Cath Crowley: I simply love the title, it sounds so young and mysterious. Just like the book.

The Book Thief - Markus Zusak: Very catchy. Intriguing.

Para Kay B (o kung paano dinevastate ng pag-ibig ang 4 out of 5 sa atin) - Ricky Lee: Subtitle pa lang, sobrang benta na sa'kin. Plus, the title itself..Para Kay B...Hmmm (Let's just say that during the time this book was released, there is something special connected with the letter "B". Lmao. That's why me and my friends were definitely amused with this one)
