Book Review: Defy the Stars

I wish I could defy my feelings after reading Defy The Stars… wish I could fool myself that the actual story is as awesome as the premise. Unfortunately, I’ve spent countless of days just staring at the screen of my Kobo, never really absorbing what the words meant. I guess this is a case of “it’s not the book, it’s me” problem. The whole time that I was reading Defy the Stars, I was just bored. I was expecting a humorous and full of bloopers storytelling (particularly that our male protag is a mech/robot who’s becoming more and more sentient)…

Book Review: Gemina

Although you’re not reading this, my biggest thanks to you for giving me one of the best gifts in 2016, my co-employee!

I just couldn’t get into GRRM’s style of writing but I must admit that all the political maneuvering and the overall plot of ASOIAF are mindblowing.

Book Review: Coming Up For Air

I’m never the sporty type but if someone asks me what’s my favorite sport, it’s more likely that my answer would be ‘swimming.’ There’s just something fulfilling about being in the water and feeling it splash against your skin as you swim. And that is why I immediately picked up and read this book. And wow, Kenneally delivered. Keneally’s world of swimming was intricate, competitive and realistic. Just like Kenneally’s characters in the previous books, Coming Up For Air has a bunch of lovable and goal-oriented characters. Though there’s something that bothered me about Maggie, I still liked her because…
