30-day Book Challenge: DAY TWENTY-EIGHT

"Favorite Title Of A Book"


Aside from an eye-catching cover and a well-written blurb, what else would make a book enticing for readers? The title of course! As a writer too, I admit that coming up with a remarkable title is one tough job because you have to summarize your whole story in a few words plus, it has to be catchy too and something that the readers would easily remember.

Anyway, for today's challenge of favorite book title, I'll go with:

30-day Book Challenge: DAY TWENTY-FIVE

"A Character You Could Relate To The Most"


I could probably go on and on with this one. Of all the thousands of characters I've known, I find a little bit of myself in each of them. May it be in a guy or a girl, there will always be a quality that you can relate with.

Still, for today's challenge, I picked someone who isn't exactly my most favorite character (I like her a lot though not THAT much) but someone who I see most of myself in. And she is...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY EIGHTEEN

"A Book That Disappointed You"


Day Eighteen. Wow, I'm almost through! 

Anyway, for today's challenge which is A Book That Disappointed You, at first I thought that I don't really have anything but then after some quick rethinking, I realized that I was actually didn't get fulfilled by a certain book.

And that is...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY SEVENTEEN

"Favorite Quote From Your Favorite Book"


I find today's challenge pretty interesting. Whenever I read, I make sure to take down "notes" on some quotes that I like. As I read the challenge for today, my choice immediately presented itself on my mind. No need for much thinking since I think it's perf <3

What I chose for today is...

Not-so Attached on ATTACHMENTS: A Review

"Things get better-hurt less-over time. If you let them."-Lincoln

(Minimal spoilers ahead. Proceed with caution!)
TITLE: Attachments
AUTHOR/s: Rainbow Rowell
PUBLICATION DATE: 14th of April, 2011
AVAILABLE AT: Amazon | The Book Depository
Being a Rainbow Rowell fan ever since Eleanor & Park and Fangirl, I decided to give her debut novel Attachments a shot just like what I've promised myself after reading her two other books.

Finally a few weeks ago, I've finished it and now, here are some of my thoughts on it :)

Fangirling on FANGIRL: A Review

"I'm rooting for you."

(Spoilers! Proceed with caution)
TITLE: Fangirl
AUTHOR/s: Rainbow Rowell
PUBLICATION DATE: 10th of September, 2013
AVAILABLE AT: Amazon | The Book Depository
After Reading Eleanor & Park (Go read my review!), I've eagerly got a hold of Rowell's other books namely Fangirl and Attachments. Seeing the former as something that is more interesting, I plunged in head on to the world of Fangirl.

Being a self proclaimed Fangirl, the title was really catchy. Also, based on some reviews I've read, it showed how the fandom functions, describes attributes of fangirls/fanboys etc. But aside from that, it's also a coming-of-age story. 

Enough of these yada yada's and on with the review! :)

ELEANOR & PARK: A quick review

"She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something."

-Park

(Minimal to no spoilers at all so go read!)
TITLE: Eleanor & Park
AUTHOR/s: Rainbow Rowell
PUBLICATION DATE: 12th of April, 2012
AVAILABLE AT: Amazon | The Book Depository
The introductory quote above was something I stumbled upon months ago and it instantly become a fave(orite). Fast forward to some time later, after reading Eleanor & Park, I discovered that it actually came from the book.

Hearing tons about it from all over the internet (and not to mention lots of recommendations from my friends), I was a bit skeptical about reading it. Sure, I was curious about it since it has made quite the splash in the bookworms' lairs but when I searched about it, I wasn't really that enticed to read it (and I thought it was too mainstream to read at that time)

Anyway, just a few days ago, I did actually give it a shot and wow, I'm definitely glad I did! And now, after completely digesting (but still not getting over) all my feels, I'll be doing a quick review! Yay :)
