Book Review: Cinder

Perhaps one of the biggest regrets I have in my life was not reading this book immediately. Cinder has just restored my faith on hyped books and on fairy tale retellings in general. You see, there’s just so many fairy tale retellings made over the years that it was already tiring to read them because they have nothing new to offer. Even the movies suffer the same fate.

Book Review: Glitter Girl

Heaven knows how I struggled to teach myself to love this book. I mean, it’s about blogging and so I was expecting that I could connect with it.

Book Review: Dare You To

Luxa: Well…well…well… I really think that you’re slowly warming up to me and to our nice little chit chats. Me: Huh? Luxa: Don’t deny it. You’re looking forward to this. If truth be told, this is the best thing that ever happened to your bookish life. Me: Err~ The last time I checked your invitation letter, there was no mention that this is going to be a flatter party. Can we just move on? Luxa sighed. Luxa: You’re such a party pooper. Right. So what happened? You were practically gushing about Pushing the Limits and giving it the high five.…
