Distraction by Laura ClarkMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
*MC’s Corner*
*EBOOK COPY PERSONALLY GIVEN BY THE AUTHOR IN EXCHANGE OF HONEST REVIEW*
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Unfortunately, I did not finish it.
• I don’t think it’s a bad book. Yes, I gave up reading it, the thing is… I don’t think I am the right person to read this book.
It’s too girly for me… I am not a fan of girly books. And truthfully you should’ve given it to a female reviewer. (I do appreciate that you trusted me with this book and I am grateful for that.) But you market is girls. I don’t see any male readers reading this.
• I really do want to know who she is going to end up with… Sam or Trevor. But it’s taking so much of my time. I think it was written beautifully. You feel lots of things. l Especially annoyance to the slut–sorry to say, but she is–named Laila. WHATS WRONG WITH HER!!! SHE MADE MY BLOODN BOIL! GRRR…
• I think girls would love this, and maybe will relate to the characters.
• What’s up with the cover? Is she going to find a magic dress or something that can split her into two? Cause I want one. HA!
• Maybe I should just look at the last chapter. *grin*

Getting Rough by C.L. ParkerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh Yeah! I LOVE IT!
Thank you so much for sending me an email to notify me with CL Parker’s new book is now available, and of course it being auto approved! MUCH LOVE FROM ME!
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• One thing I love and what keeps me coming back to CL Parker books is that they are not too long and not too short. It was all well-balanced, the story, the characters, the twist and yeah, the length.
• Getting Rough… gosh! I enjoyed it very much, if Playing Dirty (book 1) is more to the seduction and games–playing dirty. This one leans more to–this may sound sappy–finding love, family and peace. It’s not all fun, there’s some bumps but ended all good! *thumbs up*
• I kinda hate Casey–Cassidy’s childhood sweetheart/the tattoo–he’s so… I don’t know? Why is he acting like that.
Well, now I forgive him… because he’s a very very hot lobsterman! *wahaha*
• I WANT QUINN & DENVER’S STORY! GOSH!!!
• #EVERYTHING:
o COVER – I approve, it was okay… though I think, if the story is like this. So good. The cover should be something more eye catchy not something like the other typical romance books.
o BACKDROP – FROM THE CITY TO THE SMALL TOWN. It was quite a transition. The people, their jobs and the aura, C.L. Parker captured it very well.
o BELIEVABILITY – It was a very good love story. I’d like to think they are real people. No joke.
o Market – I don’t know… but I think some guys might find this enjoyable.
o Compare to past books… I am a big fan of you C.L. Parker, and I am pretty sure I’ve read all the (published) books you wrote, I say they were pretty consistent. I love them all.
• MUST READ! GET YOUR COPIES! YOU WONT REGRET IT!

Soundless by Richelle MeadMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really thought it was a historical fiction or something.
I honestly didn’t question myself why the title was ‘Soundless’, I just opened and started reading it.
Then it just BAM! Whaaaat? THEY CANT HEAR ANYTHING?
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• It a fresh idea, I think. I never read something like this.
• I am kinda disappointed though. Everytime RM releases a new book; I get so excited, thinking maybe this new book has the new Adrian Ivashkov. You know? I’m always looking forward. Sadly, Li Wei is not. That I think is my fault. I expected too much and the standard I was looking for is very high.
• I find the way things were put together a bit weird.
The village of deaf people, that are actually slaves to the king but they don’t know that.
Then she suddenly can hear…
The pixie thingies…
The short war–if you can call it that.

Winter by Marissa MeyerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
“Well, you know, some people might say that doing the right thing is a reward in itself.”–Carswell Thorne
I WANT TO GIVE ALL THE STARS IN THE UNIVERSE TO YOU!
I LOVE IT! I LOVE THIS BOOK! THE WHOLE SERIES!
AFTER 2 DAYS OF READING THIS THING I M NOT SATISFIED! I KINDA WANT MORE!
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• There should be a real ending for the whole cast. The way you ended their stories… pfft!!! Too short! Maybe write 5 -10 years after from the ending. You know?
• I spent majority of my reading Winter aggravated. So aggravated to Levana. Ugh! I HATE HER SO MUCH! I DON’T CARE WHAT SHEW SAID ABOUT HER PAST BALAH BLAH BLAH… The bottomline is she purely evil. AND FUGLY!
I spent my time annoyed, because, really, the things happened are annoying. That is why they – the gang – deserve a long HFA. Let’s give them happiness.
• Gosh… Winter is probably my least favorite character… I mean, sorry to say this, but she does belong to an insane asylum. I get it, I know she’s like that because she doesn’t want to use her powers… but still. (I’m the insane one right? #KICKMENOW)
• The thing they did to Wolf… GRRR…
• #SPOILERS (HEALTHY SPOILERS) *grin*
o The freakin war was sooooo long.
o Levana & Kai got married.
o Levana is so damn FUGLY. That’s what you get when you are that evil.
• I’m impressed. The ‘Snow White’ vibe… ooooh! Superb!
• Thank you SO MUCH for writing this beautiful series Marissa Meyer.
I RECOMMEND THIS MUST-READ SERIES TO EVERYONE!
• And also… thank you for not killing favorite characters, like those other authors. *PHEW* I was so scared.

The Rose Society by Marie LuMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love The Rose Society more than The Young Elites.
To be honest, I kinda forgot everything that happened on the first book, they just came rushing to my head the moment I started reading this. SO WEIRD! AND PRETTY COOL!
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• So Adelina was exiled by the Dagger Society because they blamed her for Enzo’s death. Which I did too… understandable.
Now, Adelina with her younger sister, Violet, are on a mission to find other Elites and form their own crew and help her to dethrone/defeat the newly crowned Queen Guiletta, who is Enzo’s sister and Teren’s lover. (I HATE HER. AND TEREN.)
• It’s weird… I just kept on thinking asking myself, ‘who is the REAL hero of this story?’
You have to admit all them are villains. They all did despicable things. Despicable that I would say, they are pretty much unforgivable. I think that’s what makes this series different from the others.
• The cliffhanger… which I think, really, is Raffaele’s.
The one about the bones… It’s a big question mark. What about the others?
And if what he thinks is true… THERY ARE DOOM. FUCKED.
• CHARACTERS (that mattered):
o Adelina –THE WHITE WOLF –Illusionist
There are some moments that she’s so kickass & tough, I want to cheer her.
Then those softer moments like when she sees the very much alive ____ and when she’s scared. I just feel it. Marie Lu did a great job creating this character.
o Violetta –STOPS OTHER ELITES’ POWERS
I’m not sure if she’s a Young Elite or something (I will talk about that later). I think she is because Magiciano can copy her.
o Magiciano –MIMIC
He’s so cool! Too bad he’s so hung up with Adelina. Which I think they are going to end up together. Because you know the other guy is dead. Technically. (In my heart, I think he’s not REALLY coming back.)
Adelina is a GRADE A bitch and it’s just I don’t understand his affection towards her.
o Raffaele –THE MESSENGER –he can heal and brings comfort to others
It’s hard to understand what he’s thinking or speculate his next move. His parts were cut off.
o Teren –GAHHH!!!! I HATE HIM SO MUCH!
AND THE FUCKER IS STILL ALIVE!
• Back to Violetta…
I just have this gut feeling of, I think she’s a different kind of Young Elite. MAYBE, there are kinds of Young Elites. Where Adelina is more of a villain… let’s just say she’s DARK, Violetta is LIGHT. I don’t think her powers can harm an ordinary people compare to others.

The Sword of Summer by Rick RiordanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
‘Then I died. The end’
That was, I think, the coolest first chapters ever.
And… that was damn loooong…
Also the reason I just read a Rick Riordan book after years.
Magnus: S-s-sorry. I must … um, wrong house.
Hunding: Wrong house? I don’t think so. You’re checking in.
Magnus: Uh … what?
Hunding: You’re dead, aren’t you? Follow me. I’ll show you to registration.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• This is the book when I look at it, I am pretty sure I am not going to finish it in a day or two.
• I love the concept of Magnus dying (and stealing Bane’s name from TMI *grin*) and their mission to save the world/to delay Ragnarok. Their, Magnus and the gang, journey between worlds are EPIC. I had so much fun.
• Gosh! I never knew that Loki had so many offspring. And they are all evil? OHMYGOD!
Now I want to read more about Norse Mythology. I kinda want to know whats, maybe, most accurate on what I read and watched.
• The Hotel… *jaw dropped*
OhMyGosh! That was so cool! They kill each other!
• Now, the Thor thing… I mean you ruined it for me. According to this book he’s a red head. Uh-uh! No way, I want my Thor, Chris Hemsworth, a blond one. Erase erase.
• I think the main audience for this book is children. Especially those who really likes books.
Some of the things happened there/scenes seems so silly when you think of it. When while I’m reading the book, they’re awesome.
• The talking sword reminds me of a Japanese anime. I forgot the title.
• Haha! Whats wrong with me? I had to double check this review… Apparently I wrote Magnus’ name incorrectly. I wrote Mangus. *grin*

Third Base by Heidi McLaughlinMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• I think the best thing about this book is that, the only way we know what’s on Daisy’s mind was through her Renegade Bostons reports. You have to guess the other things.
• Honestly, there is nothing special about Third Base, but I definitely enjoyed it reading it!
• I think I’m going to read the next one.

The House by Christina LaurenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
*MC’s Corner*
• Truthfully, the story started really rough for me.
I read the first few chapters a day then sometimes I skip reading it the next, preferred other books.
Thank God I did not give up.
While I was waiting in line to pay electric bills, I resumed reading it. Well, let’s just say I reached the PART. It’s like the lightbulb inside my head lit up. *ping*
My interest awaken, I just want to know the answers. And I started to make my own conclusions. I still did not get the ending right. I think that’s a good thing.
• The story is about this House that is alive and everything in and around it. SO CREEPY!
And Gavin, who lived there for the most of his life. The House is practically his parent. What if one day he wants to get away?

November 9 by Colleen HooverMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
“What if we meet up again next year on the same day? And the year after that? We’ll do it for five years. Same date, same time, same place. We’ll pick up where we left off tonight, but only for the day…”–
Of all the books Collen Hoover that I’ve read, November 9 is probably my least favorite.
It was so good, yes, one of the best this year. But it’s not that good compare to her other books.
*MC’s Corner*
• Everything went very fast, obviously duh. We only have a glimpse of what happens every November nine. The anticipation was fun, but I have no idea what happened the whole year, just that day, hence the title. And I don’t know what I am complaining but yeah, you can slap me. *girn*
• But really, what I’m saying is it lacks a bit of support. Most of the things were IN YOUR FACE TAKE THAT SCENE. You know? I want to be pissed off with him because… but I can’t because I don’t know the whole story.
• Then the big secret... I’m not a fan of that part.
• There’s a good part… Ben is a writer and the manuscript he gave to Fallon and then she reads it. I love that part, it’s a killer! *thumbs up*
• Another good thing, it was pretty memorable. And you can tell your friends about it without spoiling anything.

Zeroes by Scott WesterfeldMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
“I just wanted a ride home!”
LOL!
It was fun and cool but damn long.
*MC’s Corner*
• WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED LAST SUMMER?! GRRRR… THE BOOK WAS SO LONG BUT IT WAS NEVER MENTIONED! *stink eyes*
• I just don’t get why these 6 people were ‘chosen’ to have these powers? And by the way, ‘powers’ sound BORING. There should be another name for it like Legacies for the Gardes (Pittacus Lore’s Lorien Legacies.) What makes them special, why these kids? I’m trying to find an algorithm here. Do they have the same birthdays? Or maybe their parents ate something. Or they’ve been on one place in a wrong time. The list goes forever.
• Ooops… Anonymous who?
• And… what is their goal? Why have these powers but they don’t have anything to fight for or something?
• I’m not sure if I’m going to read the next book. I’m slightly disappointed.

Assassin's Heart by Sarah AhiersMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Celaena Sardothien (Sarah J. Maas’ Throne of Glass) meets Robin Lafevers’ His Fair Assassin meets the MAFIA. And it’s also reminds me of Leigh Bardugo’s Grisha Trilogy sans the Grishas.
OHMYGOD! IT WAS SO GOOD!
I HAVE A FEELING WITH THIS ONE. I THINK, REALLY THINK, ITS GOING TO BE ON THE TOP OF BEST SELLING CHARTS. AND IT’S GOING TO BE A BIG HIT! I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE! IT’S A MUST READ.
ALL WRITTEN IN CAPS! I AM NOT KIDDING!
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• Yes it’s not the best that I’ve read from the HarperCollins Catalog for next year but it’s one of my fave. DUDE! I FINISHED IT ON ONE SITTING!
• I was just hooked from the very start. Great first chapters mean it’s going to be really good! And it is.
And dude, I’m grinning like a fool while writing this thing. (And listening to One Direction’s Made in A.M. Album)
• The concept was so good. And it was well-written. Given that the time there is IDK it’s still very realistic. I enjoyed reading Assassin’s Heart very much.
• I kinda like the ‘ghosts’ part, them roaming around the everywhere especially on the woods. Then at night… ugh! Gosh! And… when they take someone’s soul and steal the body… EPIC! AND FREAKISH.
The good thing about them too is that y the end of the story, it was explained why are they still with the living.
*thumbs up*
• The clipper thingy… as far as I know no one wrote something like that.
Clippers are assassins that are paid to kill someone. And the catch is, Clippers are only from the ‘Families’. And like in the Mafia (totally based on what I read/watch) they (Families) tried to kill each other every chance they got.
• I’m kinda sure that there’s no sequel. But please if you find a way to write one, please do. I mean it and I will totally read it! *grin*
• I honestly think those who will buy this book will definitely think that what they paid was worth it. #MONEYWELLSPENT
• Sarah Ahiers is without a doubt a author WE MUST watch out!
• #EVERYTHING
o COVER: That’s ‘the coin’ right?
o CHARACTERS: I kinda have a lil bit issue with the characters–you think with all those compliments I have no gripes about this book, hah!–when it comes to making pictures inside my head. I kinda hard to remember what the other characters looked like.
Well good thing, Lea is pretty memorable.
o STORY:
(If it’s a play) I love that it was how the ‘acts’ were divided. And every act has different things.
I think if you gave other readers a copy of the first part then when they read the whole thing… OH MY GOD! I just LOVE the way things happened in that. (Well, I also don’t because it’s kinda sad for Lea.)
Memorable scenes. The whole story? When I think of it, theres just a sequence of scenes palying inside my head. *thumbs up
o MARKET: I RECOMMEND IT TO ALL!
o READ IT AGAIN? ABSOLUTELY!
• GET YOU COPIES!

Bluescreen by Dan WellsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well, if I compare it to Partials, which is btw one of my all time fave series. I have to say Bluescreen was a bit disappointing, only if I compare them.
But honestly, I liked it. It’s a good concept and the ‘think forward/ futuristic’ was waaay forward. It’s like the ‘future’ we think/on movies on steroids.
James Dashner’s Eye of Minds meets Alex London’s Proxy. And the dauntless simulation part of Veronica Roth’s Divergent
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• The Cover is so cool!
At first I really thought that this is one of those cyborg books. The thing is, it is a cyborg book, kinda, but the mood or the way it was written (since it was the future-on-steroids) it felt natural. Just the way they are, the people in the story lived with cyborgs all their lives. I mean they don’t discriminate or make them feel like outcasts. And to be clear the story is not about the cyborgs. It’s just the protagonist.
• Bluescreen –it is some sort of drug but doesn’t really contain any drugs. It is some kind of software that people illegally buy then they inject them into their ‘djinnis,’(which is btw the ‘everything’ for the most people there it’s their phone, computer, credit card, key to their houses and etc.) then they feel ‘an overwhelming sensory rush, an unbelievable high, and then boom.’ That was what Anja said. Little do they know, there is actually a side effect on using these things.
• I just wrote this review like a month after I finished reading Bluescreen. It’s almost like fresh in my head. I read every day and if the book is next to boring I probably would forget it. So this being ‘fresh in my head’ I think, deserves some plus points.
• It’s my gut feel that tells me that most people would probably quit or will not finish reading Bluescreen. It’s kinda long. I mean especially those who are not that massive fan of YA books. I am a fan of Dan Wells and I belive its going to end up good so… I continued reading and finished this thing. Turns out it was really good. And it would be a mistake if you opened this thing and not finish it. BIG MISTAKE.
• My arms are tired right now… *wiggle* *wiggle* *wiggle*
• Memorable scenes… there’s a lot of them. Though I think… well I’m pretty sure my fave one is when they play. It was so cool.
• It was very detailed. It makes it more believable and makes it feel that you are actually in there.
I also liked the ‘control’ between the fantasy and the reality part. There are ‘fantasy’ problems and of course the reality.
• #IWISH there’s some illustrations. I think that would be so kickass! And it will help the reader not to make ‘some assumptions of imagination’ inside their heads.
AND if there is I’m going to give this thing a 10star rating on goodreads. (LOL. )
• The market… I don’t think kids will enjoy it that much, because it’s too long. Teenagers and up is appropriate.
And the SCI/FI would love it too.

Lonesome Town by Tom MendicinoMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I don’t know if my copy (ARC) is incomplete or it was really written that way…
There are most scenes that I thought were missing. Lots of them are pretty good scenes and suddenly I’m in a different scene. That’s kinda suck if that the way it was laid out.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• Story wise I think there’s a potential in there. It was really good. I liked it!
Wit the writing style… I have no complaints there.
• Romance… it was a lil bit short in that area.
And I kinda wanted the main characters (Charlie &KC) to converse more in the story… or at least them to have some sexy time, you know? Ha! *grin*
I mean, they don’t have a sexy scene… with each other but with the other people that had. And that is totally a spoiler.
• I think I finished reading Lonesome Town in less than two hours. So I guess it will appeal more to those M/M book readers who are in a long drive or to those who’s wants to chillax on their own.

The thing I like the most about is that, once I started it I want to finish it. I mean I don’t to do anything than finishing this thing.
I dig the cover! LOVE IT!
Also love the little teaser for the next boom.
Though, I kinda wish that there’s more ‘BOOM’ on it. There wasn’t that much oompf for me. That weird because I really don’t like characters suffering… #meiswalkingconundrum

#SUPERSPOILERS
#RATEDSPG
I DON’T RECOMMEND THIS STORY.
I HATE IT!
THEY KILLED GEORGE LOVELACE!
WHY WOUKLD YOU DO THAT?! EVERYONE LOVES HIM!!! ARRGH!!!
I’m just sad and furious… By The fucking Angel! He doesn’t deserve that! Especially that kind of death. It was excruciating, I just can’t get it out of my friggin head. It’s on the top of my THINGS I MUST FORGET list. This the time that I hate that it was written beautifully that even the unbeautiful scenes were really unforgettable. *sob*
*MC’s Corner*
Note: SUPER SPOILERS.
• I am so done. I swear I’m never going to read Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy ever again. Not going to touch it.
• WHO’S NEXT?! JACE? YOU WANT TO KILL JACE TOO? OR MAYBE… MAGNUS BANE.
You already killed poor Max… then Jordan… now George. Everyone love them… Do you hate your fans that much?!
• I’m gave it 1 star rating because this thing should be written again. Or write an alternative one. I just want to forget that scene.
• I know right? I noticed that after Simon ascended when he looked at George, he felt like they are not kin… I think that was a clue. I just shrugged it off… *sad face*
• And to be honest, I probably be okay if Simon Lewis is the one who burned to the bones, while fucking screaming (arghhh). For me he’s just an ‘extra’.
• BYE GEORGE! I AM GOING TO MISS YOU SO MUCH. REST IN PEACE. IM PRAYING FOR YOUR SOUL.

Thicker Than Water by Brigid KemmererMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
#LETMEBRAG
I am auto-approved by Kensington son yeah… I got the ARC of Brigid Kemmerer’s new book Thicker Than Water!
I love it!
At first, I said, ‘A non-paranormal/supernatural book by Brigid Kemmerer? Hmm… that’s interesting.’
Then halfway through the book… it was like the whole world (in the book) flipped suddenly.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• I can’t talk about what happened halfway through because that would TOTALLY SPOIL the whole story.
Don’t worry it was good. I didn’t expect it.
• The story started in a funeral. Thomas Bellweather’s mum’s funeral. She was murdered. The thing is, everyone thinks he did it. But Thomas loves him mother very much.
So who killed his mum?
Then there’s Charlotte (the annoying slut, my opinion), I think she just made Thomas life complicated. I don’t know, I think she’s got the negative to Tommy’s positive magnet. She just kept on bugging him. And they can’t seem to stay away from each other.
The problem, Charlotte is from a family of cops.
Since Thomas was the ‘prime suspect’ of his mum’s murder, again, according to everyone. You can add up that math.
• I am really not good at writing mystery books reviews… always spoil that much. So let’s keep this thing short.
READ THIOS BOOK. You are going to love it! Duh! It’s written by Brigid Kemmerer, in my opinion she never disappoints.
• #EVERYTHING
o COVER: It’s quite catchy.
My favorite from this author.
o GENRE: Mystery, Thriller, Romance & Paranormal.
#spoiler
o CHARACTERS: The characters had different personalities. Even the minor ones. I never mistook one character for the other. (Which btw happens a lot with other books.)
o STORY:
The twist is the best part.
The start of the story I think, is very powerful and will get your attention in no time.
The mystery, thrill, romance and the supernatural part… divided and balanced equally. I can tell where what is. Good Job!
Memorable scenes. I said I know what is what. So that’s given. The book is pretty memorable.
o BELIEVABILITY: Yes sir! I BELIEVED.
The backdrop is just per-fect. (I said that per-fect with my eyes on the back of my head.) Wahaha
o MARKET: Since there is the car scene (you know?) its teenagers and up.
o COMPARE IT TO ELEMENTAL SERIES:
I don’t know why or how… it’s just I just can’t. Maybe I should pound my head to the table.
o READ IT AGAIN? Yes. Probably. *grin*

Days of Throbbing Gristle by Kevin ColeMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
*UNFINISHED REVIEW*
*STILL READING*
*NOT ACTUALLY SURE IF I'M GOING TO FINISH IT*
THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING ME WITH YOUR BOOK MR. KEVIN COLE!
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
*MC’s Corner*
Spoilers.
• I’m on 13% I think and I already spent a time normally I’m not half of a normal book.
So yeah it’s really long.
It makes me want to grab a new book.
• I think it’s a bad idea to write a contemporary book with juvenile characters that is so long. I think when you write long book the best genre is fantasy and Sci/Fi.
• And honestly, maybe it’s a fantasy book. I’m just not in that part yet.
• And that is another gripe of mine… I have no idea where is the story going.
All I remember is a poor British boy who is fostered by rich American family and he’s trying to fit in.

The Favorite by Kiera CassMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Seriously?! That’s it?! Ugh!
Unbelievable! This is so… short.
I know it was a short story… but this is so short for a #1 NYT Best Selling Author.
Its like opening it then I just stretched my feet and suddenly I’m done.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• The stupid me… saw that it was actually part of an anthology, kinda. Happily Ever After.
#KILLMENOW #IKNOWRIGHT?
• As much as I love Aspen I’m just going to give it 4 Stars.
You have to admit the fact that it’s still short…
And there are some unnecessary parts that were written longer than they should and the good parts were cut short.
• When I saw the ‘Part 1’ ‘Part 2’ thingy–what do you call them?–I got so excited. I thought it was going to be a fairy tale or something love story. Part 1 I thought it’s going to be the story of how Marlee and Woodwork met (check), then how they started their ‘affair’ (check), and lastly how they got caught (check). All check… my problem is that none of them were detailed.
Moving on, on Part 2 my mind went straight to The Heir. Years after Mer & Maxon got married. How their children got ‘friendly’.

Bluescreen by Dan WellsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well, if I compare it to Partials, which is btw one of my all time fave series. I have to say Bluescreen was a bit disappointing, only if I compare them.
But honestly, I liked it. It’s a good concept and the ‘think forward/ futuristic’ was waaay forward. It’s like the ‘future’ we think/on movies on steroids.
James Dashner’s Eye of Minds meets Alex London’s Proxy. And the dauntless simulation part of Veronica Roth’s Divergent
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• The Cover is so cool!
At first I really thought that this is one of those cyborg books. The thing is, it is a cyborg book, kinda, but the mood or the way it was written (since it was the future-on-steroids) it felt natural. Just the way they are, the people in the story lived with cyborgs all their lives. I mean they don’t discriminate or make them feel like outcasts. And to be clear the story is not about the cyborgs. It’s just the protagonist.
• Bluescreen –it is some sort of drug but doesn’t really contain any drugs. It is some kind of software that people illegally buy then they inject them into their ‘djinnis,’(which is btw the ‘everything’ for the most people there it’s their phone, computer, credit card, key to their houses and etc.) then they feel ‘an overwhelming sensory rush, an unbelievable high, and then boom.’ That was what Anja said. Little do they know, there is actually a side effect on using these things.
• I just wrote this review like a month after I finished reading Bluescreen. It’s almost like fresh in my head. I read every day and if the book is next to boring I probably would forget it. So this being ‘fresh in my head’ I think, deserves some plus points.
• It’s my gut feel that tells me that most people would probably quit or will not finish reading Bluescreen. It’s kinda long. I mean especially those who are not that massive fan of YA books. I am a fan of Dan Wells and I belive its going to end up good so… I continued reading and finished this thing. Turns out it was really good. And it would be a mistake if you opened this thing and not finish it. BIG MISTAKE.
• My arms are tired right now… *wiggle* *wiggle* *wiggle*
• Memorable scenes… there’s a lot of them. Though I think… well I’m pretty sure my fave one is when they play. It was so cool.
• It was very detailed. It makes it more believable and makes it feel that you are actually in there.
I also liked the ‘control’ between the fantasy and the reality part. There are ‘fantasy’ problems and of course the reality.
• #IWISH there’s some illustrations. I think that would be so kickass! And it will help the reader not to make ‘some assumptions of imagination’ inside their heads.
AND if there is I’m going to give this thing a 10star rating on goodreads. (LOL. )
• The market… I don’t think kids will enjoy it that much, because it’s too long. Teenagers and up is appropriate.
And the SCI/FI would love it too.

The Great Hunt by Wendy HigginsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Kiera Cass’ ‘The Selection’ meets the JUNGLE? LOL and… Frankenstein?.
I thought it’s going to be a fairy/fae book.
Well, I didn’t get the tagline at first but when I got deep in the story… that’s when I realize what it is. And then the excitement just went up a notch.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• I kinda looking for more action… although there are enough of them.
• I felt like the romance part–if there’s any–was in fact forced.
Especially those kissing parts… ugh! But to be honest, they do have some chemistry going on.
• I love how I can differentiate one character to the other. Plus points for that! *thumbs up*
• The fantasy part of it… the magic/Lashed Ones, I think it’s unique. But the thing is we–readers–don’t have a solid idea of what they really are. Hopefully we’ll see more of them on the next book. Because I’m definitely reading it.
• Cliffhanger… it wasn’t that much exciting.
• Twists… I don’t get. Why would she do that?! It doesn’t make any sense, her being the traitor. Grrrr.
• The backdrop… first I wrote on the note it doesn’t give me the ‘historical vibe’ and it lacks class and sophistication, and then I realized that is not the way it was written. It turns out it’s a ‘new generation’ so it made lots of sense and made it more believable. Though I think it need a timeline or an exact year.
• Market … I recommend it for everyone. I think it’s okay for the children.
• PLOT
There’s a great beast lurking around the kingdom of Eurona and its killing people every single day. The king did everything he can do; no one in his kingdom can kill this great beast. King Clark has no choice but to find an alternative solution to save his kingdom.
He issued a ‘proclamation’ that the one who ever kill this great beast will win the hand of his eldest daughter, Princess Aerity.
• How do I pronounce her name?
• Memorable scene/s…
Well... weeks after I read it the first thing/scene comes to mind when I see the title or cover is the cliffhanger. Maybe I think that was the best part.
It’s like when you think of Pittacus Lore’s ‘Fall of Five’ you I see the cover/title all I can think of is Sam suddenly can use telekinesis. No matter how great the first parts of it.
• Well reading this whole review... it looks like I have too many gripes on this book… Well… I just have too many things to say about it, unlike other book I can barely write a whole sentence.
• Tiern vs. Kaiden Rowe
The sexy drummer is one of my all-time favorite book boyfriends… so I’m sorry to say that Tiern is not even close.
• The cover… I almost forgot.
I don’t get it. Seriously.
And honestly speaking you guys MUST change it.

Six of Crows by Leigh BardugoMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
That was so good!
And long.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• I’m not disappointed, I love this book but I thought it would be like a future or some kind of spinoff of Grisha Trilogy. I expected more magical.
• Well… I’m not complaining. I just expected.
Although, there’s enough magic but this one leans more towards action, adventure and thrill, less on romance and fantasy.
• The thing though is that I felt okay if I put it down and continue reading it later. You know?
I mean… I did not get the feeling of GOSH–IT’S–SO–GOOD-I-CAN’T–PUT–IT–DOWN.
But I’m definitely reading the next one.
• Characters… oooh!
So bad-ass and… diverse. I can differentiate every one of them.
o Kaz Brekker – daaaamn. He has this aura of at first glance it’s like I want to… kinda… pity him because of his condition and THEN… B-O-O-M IN–YOUR–FACE ‘don’t underestimate me a-hole!’ So kickass! I just love and lil bit hate him.
“When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing.”
o Inej Ghafa–she reminded me of Celaena Sardothien. That says it all. I think.
“Never something for nothing…”
o Matthias Helvar–I’m so crushing on him. He and Nina are icing of the story. I’m excited to see more of them.
Him coming home to infiltrate his un-infiltratable home. (If that’s even a word.)
o Jesper Fahey–he wasn’t given that much ‘attention’. He was more of like some accessory. The only highlight of his career was his so called secret ‘talent’.
o Wylan Van Eck–he is officially part of Kaz’ crew right?
I wish I knew what was in his mind.
• I wonder how long do we going to wait for the next one.

Friction by Sawyer BennettMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
So sexy… I just love Leary & Reeve… especially when they are together. They are so damn HOT!
I think Friction is now my favorite Sawyer Bennett book!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
LOVE reading it. You guys should read it too… I enjoyed it so much.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• I saw it on NetGalley. The ‘Read Now’ section and I was totally on board reading it. Glad I did.
• The best part was the first time they ‘met’.
GOSH! I don’t know about elevators but damn…
• The prologue though, I’m not a big fan. It’s like it has a male reader repeller or something.
• I also think that there’s some element that were probably good for the story but they were not explored or expanded, you know. Blah blah blah… I mean they would probably make the story longer, which I would like.
• The story only revolves on Leary and Reeve I think that makes it easier to read… and well, the lawyer stuff that I don’t understand that much adds to that too.
• The story is pretty predictable just like some of SB books. But the thing is they were well written that why I enjoyed reading them even though (I think) I know what is going to happen next.
• This cover, uh-uh I don’t like it.
Now that I finished reading this very sexy book… looking at the cover. It doesn’t fit. There’s nothing sexy about this cover.

Until Friday Night by Abbi GlinesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
*sob*
. Aunt Coralee: In life we often have to make decisions that aren’t easy. But it doesn’t mean they aren’t right.
Maggie: But what if they’re wrong?
Aunt Coralee: fate steps in and fixes things. You just have to trust it.
It’s not TFIOS but yeah, when you know there’s a character that is going to die, it hard not to think of it. Well, on UFN it’s not the lover that is going to die.
I think this is an another side of Abbi Glines I never seen (well in this case, read) before.
#MUSTREAD
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• It was very raw and honest. And it has so much angst that it’s hard not to affect me. And I think, you’re THAT numb if you don’t.
• As bad as it sounds. I just want to end his suffering, because I really do feel it. I kept on wishing please, please, please.
It’s just that I don’t want the people in our house see/hear me crying.
• It’s kinda weird that the first part was very slow paced and then... suddenly I was turning the last page.
• It’s also weird that TFIOS had a huge impact on me. UGH! Even there’s no connection or whatsoever.

The Lies About Truth by Courtney C. StevensMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 Stars!
Lies. Lies. Lies.Lies. Lies.
But here’s some truth… this book is really good.
I’m impressed.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• Ha! I’m back with Project–Read–YAContemporary–Novels. *eye roll* Yes I just made that up… like a minute ago.
• I love the cover… but you have to admit… the guys there are older than the characters by much much.
• I don’t know what is wrong with me. When I read… for example, a Romance book that is written by one of my fave author sometimes I ended up disappointed. So I don’t know why I evade reading YAC… when they are this good.
• OR MAYBE, HarperCollins just happen to have an amazing collection.
• The Truth About Lies is a story of four friends grieving from the lost of their dearest friend/brother.
Sadie, Max, Grey and Gina. They are less than a month away from the one-year anniversary of Trent death. A death caused by an accident which they are all in.
What really happened that day?
• They met again… talked about that night.
That’s when they discovered the secrets, the lies and everything.
Now… they are on the ‘mission’ on making memories

The Copper Gauntlet by Holly BlackMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 stars!!!
“The end is closer than you think, Makar.” –Warren
Yeah!
Cassandra Clare and Holly Black did not disappoint!
5 STARS B****es! SO GOOD! I LOVE IT!
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• The Copper Gauntlet is more adventurous than The Iron Trial. I liked that they went outside the Magisterium. (I know it’s against the rules.) I also this one is more fun.
• My only gripe on this book is that it’s too short… I mean much as I love it, I kinda wanted. I waited a year. Duh!
• I wish there’s more of the Copper Year thingies. I love their studies on The Iron Trial; it’s one of my favorite.
• I also love that I got to know more of the main characters, the world and wonders of Magisterium, which I think is cool.
• The last part… it was almost like the first one. You gotta step it up.
But ‘THE HEAD’ thingy, damn, that was so effing creepy as hell…
• The Copper Gauntlet did not remind me of Harry Potter any more.
And I realized that after I finished it. Kudos for that! *thumbs up*
• But the thing is this series is definitely going to be on my every year’s TO-READ list.
• And I really do wish it was longer…

Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. MaasMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 STARS!!!
I did not enjoyed reading Queen of Shadows that much.
Why? WHY? F***ING WHY?!
I’m still heartbroken.
Chaol & Celaena are really done. And I am so fucking done. UGH!
It’s like I want to cry over it but I am beyond pissed off.
I lost hope… I’m went in a bad mood and I really hate Aelin.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• She’s Aelin now… and well I really hate typing her name… I always get the spelling wrong.
*eye roll*
• I don’t know if it’s just me or I just really hate the idea of Chaol is being replaced. Do you guys love Aelin & Rowan romance thingy? As much I love Rowan and his thingy… *giggle*…I don’t see or feel any chemistry. I’m sorry. It’s like Jamie & Cersei Lannister. I think Sarah J Mas is trying really hard to pair the two of them. And I think I will never be okay with it.
• Well, let’s put aside my gripes. The things happened are actually good.
So many things… and I can’t wait on what is going to happen next.
DAMN! I can’t even think of a scenario that… I can be excited for the months I am going to wait for the next book. And I really love that about how it ended.
• AND #SPOILERALERT Arobyn fucking Hamel is dead! YESSS! One of the best news in FICTION WORLD. *thumbs up*
• Oh yeah! I almost forgot.
Dorian and that freaky Manon. Hmmm…
WHAT NOW?
ME = VOMITING
• Speaking of Dorian… and the thing happened on the previous book. The collar thingy, damn I thought he’s going to be the most evil thing and then…
I kinda wanted more of that. Yes I don’t want the collar on him but… what now?
WHO IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT ‘EVIL’?
• *fingers crossed*
I think/ the next book will be years after this one.

Dirty Promises by Karina HalleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
And the worst part was, as much as I was falling out of love … I still loved him something terrible.
Love was a terrible thing.
OhMyGod!
THAT IS IT?! NO MORE JAVIER BERNAL?!
Honestly, I am not satisfied AT ALL.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the book so much. But this one is full of violence, gore and etc.
I want to see the soft… softer & romantic side of Javier Bernal. I miss that… very much.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• There is this scene that I am not going to forget anytime soon. DAMN!
O.O
He made her shorter than him because she said men shorter than her is not her type.
I mean… he used a machete. O.O
It’s giving me chills.
• It was scarier than most Horror books. It’s not a Horror book but it was horrifying enough to be one. You don’t want be on Javier Bernal’s bad side.
• I hate Esteban… who doesn’t?
And then he and Luisa… *vomit* *vomit* *vomit*
• I want more… I’m not satisfied… I want a REAL ending.

Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae CarsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
When I reached the last page…
It’s so weird… I felt triumphant… successful… it’s like I accomplished something that is so big.
So cool!
It was like I was with them throughout their journey, not as reader but as a character.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• It has this “something” you are always looking on a book.
• I’m not sure if there’s going to be a sequel… but I kinda like it how it is.
I’m thinking of something that might happen if there’s a sequel… I just can’t.
The best thing about this is the “journey” to the gold rush.
• This one is a must read I recommend it to everyone. You’re going to love it as much as I did. *thumbs up.
• Reading Walk on Earth a Stranger is an experience. Don’t miss it!
• PS: In wish my ARC has a map. *grin*
• PSS: I wrote this review after I finished reading it. So I just saw on goodreads that it’s going to be a Trilogy.

“I’m not putting myself before the whole world, John. I wanted to see a future where Setrákus Ra is killed, no matter the consequences.
I wanted to see a future where someone has the guts to do what needs to be done.”–Ellla
OHEMGEE!
WHAT THE F JUST HAPPENED?
SHE’S DEAD?!
FOR REAL?
*gasp*
WOOH! YAY!
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• I mean… I’m not a big fan of her, even if she dead it’s not that big deal for me. *shrug*
Well… just don’t make ‘him’ go berserk.
I do feel like, in some way that she is kinda hindrance to what the Garde’s mission. Its better this way.
• And then it turns out she just passed out. #notreallydead
• Setrákus Ra… I’M NOT SO SURE IS HE TOO IS DEAD.
DUH! There’s another book coming… it can’t not have a villain.
• Speaking of the next book. How many months are going to wait exactly? UGH!
Damn Pittacus Lore’s cliff–effing –hangers.
• Pittacus Lore–THE CHARACTER NOT THE AUTHOR.
OH MY GOD!
I LOVE THAT PART!
• And the war is like… starting to be real. Though I wish Pittacus Lore, the author, will make it bloodier. You know? The gorier the more fun. #BLOODTHIRSTYME
• I kinda wish that Mark had powers/Legacies too, like Sam. Lucky Sam.
• John’s Legacy–YES! I knew he’s more than just that. *thumbs up* I approved.

Kick Push by Jay McLeanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
GOOD ONE THERE! HAH! I LOVE IT!
2015 MUST READ!
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• It’s been… a looong time since a book made me ‘feel’. It made me cry, happy, angry and frustrated.
• Honestly, I’m okay with not reading the (coming) second book. This is so good.
Though, if the second book has some good reviews I might. But I really feel like the story is done to me. I don’t want more. I’m happy how it ended.
• The story is really good, although I think the writing should level up a bit. I mean… it that powerful for me. I didn’t say the writing is not good… I said it should level up. *grin*
• CHARACTERS:
o Joshua–I admit the first part did it to me. I LOVE IT!
I shed a few tears. It’s like watching a movie. The one playing Joshua deserves an Oscar.
When I think of this book, that’s the first scenes that comes to my head.
DAMN! It’s so heartbreaking.
Joshua’s childhood is not bad. It’s almost perfect, he had loving parents, and they supported him on his passion–skating, he’s a god on skating world–and of course a girlfriend who loves him and his best friend.
At sixteen, Joshua got his gf preggers. Then after they told his parents, they kick him out. So they went to her parents… all is okay, they survived the labor. At seventeen, Joshua had a son. One day, the gf left. Joshua and his son, Tommy got kicked out from the gf’s parents’ house. A-HOLES!
HOW WILL HE AND HIS SON SURVIVED?!
o Becca–you can check all my reviews on goodreads and you’ll see that if the character on books had demons and shady past. Most of them, I get irritated. No offense with these people… But on books… ugh! They act so so… and it turns out it not that shady. It’s not believable.
Surprisingly, that not the case here… maybe because her demons… are hardcore or something… it makes me sympathize. The whole time I was reading, I keep on asking, what is wrong with her?! Its frustrating but I want to know the answer.
Describe her, hmm… because of an accident from her past she can’t ‘over speak’… speak too much… She likes taking photos and she craves man’s touch and repel on other touch. And yeah… I think there’s a shrink inside her.
o Tommy–he is Josh’s son. He’s so cute! I wanna met him. *grin*
o Chazarae–she’s the one who helped the father and son. Well I just want to thank her.
So… THANK YOU!
o Natalie–she is Tommy’s mum and Josh’s ex. The one who left them.
I understand her reasons for leaving them… But coming back like everything is fine is just… UGH!
What an effing bitch!
• The part where Joah and his dad reconcile… well and the part where Josh trying to reconcile with his dad. One of the best parts. LOVE IT! *thumbs up*

Every Last Breath by Jennifer L. ArmentroutMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
First, I just want to say that whenever Roth uses the word ‘wee’, it makes my head hurt. IRRITATING.
Honestly, the first part of this book bored me to death. MEANS it did not start very good. I yawned a lot.
I think I finished four or five books before I picked it up again.
And halfway through it… THE REDEMPTION. I felt it you know?
The feeling of, oh man, this starting to be good. *roll eyes*
Then I finished it.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• I am 99.99% sure that the story is not finished. Maybe JLA is done writing Layla & Roth’s love story but not this ‘world’.
• Honestly, I did not enjoy the first two books of this series as much I enjoyed and loved JLA other series. And I obviously did not love the first part of this book.
I think I kinda know the answer now.
I’m pretty sure that never in a million years I would think that gargoyles are hot. It’s really weird.
And then there’s part of book that explained EVERYTHING. *BOOM*
Everything made sense now and the girl had feather and everything. *grin*
• So ‘THE REDEMPTION’ was when Layla started to ‘change’.
*roll eyes* I know I’m too judgmental.
• And… I really do think that they converse a lil bit too much.

*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• The Jewel ended with Violet giving Raven the ‘poison that will make her look like dead but not really dead’ from Lucien that she is supposed to take.
• Now… they are on the run.
And it’s so fun. They just went from the Jewel… to the Banks then to the Smoke and their destination: the Farm. I mean it makes it more realistic by being the characters experiencing/seeing what the people from those factions do.
• MY ANSWERD QUESTIONS FROM THE JEWEL.
o Why rich people do need surrogates? And when/how it started?
o Where the Auguries did came from?
o How /why they built the wall?
• So yeah, were going to find lil bit about the history of the Lone City. Hidden.. long lost history of Lone City.
• I think this is 10x better than the first book.
• WHAT IS ‘THE WHITE ROSE’?
Two things… well three
1ST – it’s the title of the book. *grin*
2ND –it’s the place where our heroes will going to start their ‘uprising’.
3RD –it’s someone’s codename.
• Their powers kinda reminded me the Garde’s Legacies. (Pittacus Lore, Lorien Legacies)

Bitter of Tongue by Cassandra ClareMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
“Fortunate is the one who knows the name of their heart. They are the ones whose hearts are never truly lost. They can always call their heart back home.
Do you remember the name of your heart, Simon Lewis?”
“I think so,” Simon whispered.
–Mark Blackthorn
This is probably one of my least favorite Tale.
Well, I gave it 5 stars… because big chunk of it is really good. It’s just that the near end part ruined it for me.
It’s so OBVIOUS it was meant to promote the next book of Cassandra Clare.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• Well, there nothing wrong on promoting it. Most authors do it. But damn… I don’t like it when it happens.
• It is really awful. I mean, what they did to Mark Blackthorn. It is the time when you kinda hate the Shadowhunters. But could have they done? UGH! HEARTBREAKING.
• I wonder, after this series, if Simon is going to Ascend? I mean… he doesn’t really agree with some beliefs of Shadowhunters, he has his own opinions… (I do too.)
Maybe he’s going to be bitten by a vampire again. GOSH! That would be so COOL! WAHAHAHA
I think Jon will wet his sexy pants.
• I really like George… *sigh* I’m going to miss him…

★★★★★Goodreads Summary: Author Jen Malone draws on her real-life experiences as a movie studio publicist to bring you an insider peek at love, Hollywood-style. The California dream was supposed to give seventeen-year-old Annie Shelton a fresh start far removed from her dad’s unusual betrayal. But when things don’t go according to plan in La La Land, Annie’s mom snags a last-minute gig as makeup artist to a teen movie idol and finagles a spot for her daughter on his European promotional tour.
Down-to-earth Annie would rather fangirl architectural sights than an arrogant A-lister. That is, until behind-the-scenes Graham Cabot turns out to be more sweetly vulnerable than she could have imagined.
Too bad falling for a poster boy isn’t all red carpets and star treatment, especially when you factor in obnoxious fans, an overprotective assistant, a stage mom/manager, and a beefy bodyguard.
But it isn’t until the paparazzi make an appearance that things get really sticky…
Honestly… I’m never been a big fan of books with Hollywood themes. *grin*
I think you changed that… well kinda.
I just realized that Hollywood-themed YA ones are waaaay cooler than those Adult ones.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.• I hate long YA Contemporary books. So this, being that short is a plus points. Though… ironically I kinda wanted more. (You can slap my face now.)
• I read the little biography of Jen Malone by the end of the book… and it says that she worked on Hollywood… so I think this make it next to believable.
There are some things/scenes in there that is… kinda hard to, you know, believe?
THAT REALLY HAPPENS IN HOLLYWOOD?
*shrug*
(I always check the “About the Author” part before I start reading a book… so thank God!
• THE THING IS… don’t date a celebrity unless you plan on becoming one. (LOL… as if I can find a celebrity that I can date. *high*)
• This book I recommend it for girls… I don’t think it’s for boys.

GOODREADS SUMMARY: See the world of Fifty Shades of Grey anew through the eyes of Christian Grey.
In Christian's own words, and through his thoughts, reflections, and dreams, E L James offers a fresh perspective on the love story that has enthralled millions of readers around the world.
Christian Grey exercises control in all things; his world is neat, disciplined, and utterly empty—until the day that Anastasia Steele falls into his office, in a tangle of shapely limbs and tumbling brown hair. He tries to forget her, but instead is swept up in a storm of emotion he cannot comprehend and cannot resist. Unlike any woman he has known before, shy, unworldly Ana seems to see right through him—past the business prodigy and the penthouse lifestyle to Christian’s cold, wounded heart.
Will being with Ana dispel the horrors of his childhood that haunt Christian every night? Or will his dark sexual desires, his compulsion to control, and the self-loathing that fills his soul drive this girl away and destroy the fragile hope she offers him?
Okay… I’m just going to ask this first…
Is there going to be a Darker and Freed books on Christian’s POV?
Say YES, please!
________________
Thank you EL James for this AMAZING book!
L-O-V-E I-T!
I don’t remember when was the first time I finished reading Fifty Shades Freed, I’ve been wanting this (Grey) that long. There’s a bonus part in there with the first Part of Fifty Shades of Grey on Christian’s perspective. GOSH! I mean... whenever–after rereading–I came to that part, I just want to reread the story all over again.
A couple of years and a movie later… TADA!
I’m so glad EL James wrote Grey in a full-length novel. *thumbs up*
If you’re a big fan of the trilogy and Christian-fucking-Grey you MUST read this!

Note: Spoilers.
DON’T FORGET TO TAKE YOUR BIRTH CONTROL PILLS… or whatever contraceptive you’re using. YOU MIGHT GET PREGNANT.
This book is intended for mature audiences.
• Okay… YES it’s a lil bit disappointing that EL James didn’t present us with a new story and characters. Instead its ‘just’ Fifty Shades of Grey told by Christian Grey. Same story, same plot just different person telling the story.
BUT… who doesn’t want be inside Christian-fucking-Grey’s head? DUH!
The thing is… I don’t understand those people (on twitter and etc) ‘bashing’ and telling negative things about the release of this book and to EL James. I mean… it’s very simple: if you don’t want to read it then DONT. Stop making so much fuss about it. *GRRRRR*
The other thing… so many authors does this thing why EL James can’t?
• Whenever I read the first three books I always wonder what Christian thinking is. GOSH!
I love being inside CTG’s head. His dreams, past… and dirty thoughts.
This is absolutely fucking sexy and fabolous. I love it!
When you read Grey, youre going to ‘see’ the parts where Ana is… not there. LOL. Those part where even Ana doesn’t know.
It’s like filling those blanks on Fifty Shades of Grey.
• I think when I plan rereading the series again I’m going to start reading Grey first.
Though... if you guys who haven’t read the series… I don’t advice it. Uh-uh… not a great idea... this book is a #SUPERDUPERSPOILER.
• The difference and likes of Fifty Shades of Grey andGrey.
Beside the one talking… I don’t think there’s that much difference.
Its still as good and the scenes… emailing…. are as amusing as the other. NAKAKAKILIG! *giggle*
• Okay… I wish there’s a translation with the French tête-à-tête of Christian and Mia.
• Whenever I see Leila’s name… I wanna puke. And those parts where Christian is recalling his time with her… UGH! I just want to grab her by the head… and remove all those hairs. *rawr*
AND THOSE WITH MRS. ROBINSON! OHMIGOD! DON’T START WITH THAT! *glaring at her name*
• DID YOU KNOW THAT MY FAVORITE CHRISTIAN PICE OF CLOTHING HAS A NAME?
Christian calls it DJ: Dom Jeans.
He’s so hot with them. *fanning my face*
…and without them.
• So… Grey ended planning the days before he’s going see Ana again and to fly her to José’s show.
So yeah… those days before that are some kind of… bonus parts, i.e. Christian building the glider.
• NAKAKALOKA!
• LEAST FAVORITE PART OF THIS BOOK: THE COVER.
I wish it’s Jamie Dornan I’m seeing. #JUSTSAYING

Christian, what gives?
Your mother told me you took a young woman to dinner yesterday.
I’m intrigued. It’s so not your style.
You’ve found a new submissive?
Call me.
