30-day Book Challenge: DAY SIXTEEN

"Favorite Female Character"

In relation to yesterday's challenge, today I have to choose my Favorite Female Character which is a bit easier than yesterday. Like my favorite males, I also have tons of loved females but there's one who I can consider as my favorite :)

So, for today's challenge, I pick...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY TWELVE

"A Book You Love But Hate At The Same Time"

For today's challenge, I have to choose a book that made me feel two contrasting emotions: LOVE and HATE. Big words! hahaha :) 

Anyway, as I saw what's up for me today, it only took me a couple of minutes to figure out what made me feel that way and it is:

30-day Book Challenge: DAY FOUR

"Favorite Book of your Favorite Series"

For yesterday's challenge which is my FAVORITE SERIES, I chose the magical world of JK Rowling's Harry Potter. Today, I have to choose my FAVORITE BOOK of the seven parts :)

Fun Fact: I ship Harmony (Harry/Hermione). HARD. So yeah, to make this decision easier, I'll choose one which has lots of Harmony moments in it. But then again, it's difficult too! Nevertheless, what I can call my favorite book in the series is:

THE CUCKOO'S CALLING: A "Strike"-ing review

"I am become a name"

(Minor to no spoilers ahead! go read!)

TITLE: The Cuckoo's Calling (Cormoran Strike#1)
AUTHOR/s: Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling)
PUBLICATION DATE: 1st of January, 2013
AVAILABLE AT: Amazon | The Book Depository

Growing up, I've had my share of detective stories. From twin sisters' super sleuthing on several occasions (Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield from Sweet Valley Series) to my own personal childhood idol (which started my fondness for this genre.), Nancy Drew. Not to mention some of my favorite guy detectives, the Hardy Boys. And eventually, later on in my life, the ever-famous, Sherlock Holmes.

 And now, years later after reading my last detective novel (as I have been quite busy with other genres like YA, dystopia, etc.), my interest was once again piqued by another brain-twisting "crime fiction": The Cuckoo's Calling. Being a self-proclaimed Potterhead, I'll admit that it was also a plus when I learned that it was written by Rowling though I can say that even if it was authored by a completely different person; a real Robert Galbraith, perhaps, I'd still want to read it anyway. And I did. After 400+ pages, I finished it within a week's worth of reading.
