Book Review: My Lady Jane

My Lady Jane is just laugh out loud funny, cozy, and everything that is heartwarming. I went into My Lady Jane with my hopes only up to a bare minimum because there’s that nagging voice at the back of my mind that told me, “This is probably a Bridgerton-inspired story but hell yeah, just read it.” I’m so glad I did because I enjoyed this more than the Bridgerton series put together. Oh, I’m not saying that the Bridgerton Series is bad because I actually enjoyed the whole series and even watched some of the TV shows. My Lady Jane,…

Like Paola, I grew up to the scary tales of my paternal grandmother and my mother. These tales which always revolved on the horrific creatures of the Philippine folklore would usually give me nightmares or made me anxious during the day…

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 really regretted the fact that I did not read Gemina sooner because it’s so mindblowing I’m still picking up my brain pieces at the moment. Like the Illuminae, Gemina was written in epistolary format complete with letters, transcripts, journal writings and drawings, chat messages, etc. The variety of methods that Kaufman and Kristoff used to tell the story surely guaranteed a phenomenal and wild ride. The plot was also a feast for the mind as it challenged…
