Book Review: My Fair Brady

I did not expect that I would enjoy a book that involves theatre and all its nitty-gritty details but after finishing My Fair Brady, I just had to declare to myself that there is always a first time. To say that I enjoyed this book would be an understatement because I love it; its characters, the story, the dynamics, and the way that the author made the theatre concept (I really thought it’s gonna be a boring subject you know). And to think that this was just a random pick from My Public Library made the book even more precious…

Book Review: Snow Like Ashes

Remember how we are always cautious when we come across books that are marketed as the next blah? Or a book wherein “X book” meets “Y book”? In my case, I usually stay away from books marketed as such because I hate it when publishers capitalize on the success of other books. And most often than not, these “next” books are a total fail and the only recognition they deserve is that they were able to make it to the literary market. In the case of Snow Like Ashes, instead of being wary, I got curious with the blurb. Marketed…
