It's not me, It's YOU REVIEW, QUOTES and EXCERPTION by Mhairi McFarlane

This book is cool. That's my first comment. The thing about me is that I don't enjoy reading if I can predict what's going to happen at every turns. But this book? I can't predict what's next. TRUST ME, I'm pretty good guessing the possible plot.
Well, I can guess the plot in general tho. As soon as I read about a character, I know how important he/she is gonna be and how he/she is gonna affect the whole story.

This book is amazing. Don't misunderstand, you won't feel your blood boiling your excitement thrilling but, the plot is not bad. True, it's not that fluffy. BUT it's real. The book give me feelings of sympathy with the characters and convinced me that this could happen in real world. (I have a habit of comparing fictional worlds and real world, my bad)

SO, Shall we take a visit to a piece of book?

He sat down heavily on the frayed yellow velvet sofa, at a right angle to where she was sitting.
‘Say something, Dee.’ He sounded gratifyingly shaky.
‘What am I supposed to say? And don’t call me Dee.’
Silence. Apart from the clatter of Parsnip’s unclipped toenails on tiles, as he skittered back from the kitchen and settled into his basket in the hallway.
She was expected to open this conversation?
‘How did it start?”
Paul stared at the fireplace. ‘She came into the bar one night.’
The same way I did, Delia thought.
‘When?’
‘About three months ago.’
‘And?’
‘We got chatting.’
There was a pause. Paul had a cardiac arrest pallor again. It looked as if giving this account was as bad as the original discovery. Good.
‘You got chatting, and next thing you know, your penis is inside her?’
‘I never meant for this to happen, Dee … Delia. It’s like some nightmare alternate reality. I can’t believe it myself.’
‘How did you end up shagging her?!’ Delia screamed and Paul almost started with fright. Offstage, Parsnip gave a small squeak. Paul put his glass down with a bump, and his palms together in his lap.
SO umm, Paul and Delia were in a relationship for many years. Delia found out he was cheating and... there, The story starts like this, simple but... exciting!
So she moved out. To London, yay! New career, new house, new guys ;)

He turned and scanned the room, as if looking for someone. Oh, wait? No you don’t. Not you. Delia realised she’d been expecting a Stephen Treadaway-type little oik from the Chronicle, but this Dorothy was no longer in Kansas.
His eyes snagged on her and her spirits plummeted. He stared hard, as if she was an anomaly in this universe, in her pink checked gingham. She loved her diner waitress dress, but under this man’s gaze she felt instantly uncomfortable. Delia had been found out. She didn’t belong.
As she swallowed hard and hastily stuffed the folder full of secrets out of sight, he strode towards her.
‘Delia. Twist & Shout?’ he said, with a note of question in his voice, when he reached her. She nodded and he did a mechanical lift-and-drop smile that didn’t reach his eyes. Delia’s previous burst of happiness was shredded, in ribbons at her feet.
‘Adam West.’
He thrust a hand out and Delia shook it. It was a cool, confident palm of course, and Delia was grateful hers hadn’t had the time to get clammy. Why did he have to throw her off-balance with his blinding genetic superiority? It wasn’t fair, the beautiful automatically outranked you.
‘I’d booked and they said you weren’t here. I didn’t realise you’d taken a different table,’ he said.
‘Sorry,’ Delia said, unsure if she was being accused of something.
‘Did you want to eat?’ he said. Well, we did say brunch.
‘Not really …’ Delia lied. She wanted the double eggs on muffins with yellow sauce or even steak au poivre with shoestring fries – and for the man opposite her not to be there.
‘Sure? They do a good waffle, I’m told.’
‘Are you eating?’
‘No.’
‘I’m fine.’
If this was some sort of waffle-based power play, Delia wasn’t biting.
Hmm, Adam West. Now, what had Delia got herself into?
This book isn't exactly something you wants to read to kill time. This book is something you want to read because you need to take a break from your life. You'll learn something from this book. The character of Delia is that, she isn't amazing. But she's smart, this book is cool. I mean it. The life decisions she made isn't easy but necessary. So, now time for QUOTES.

Uncovering an affair wasn’t a one big fact headline story. It was like Metroyshka dolls, lies inside lies inside lies.

Some friendships got longer without getting deeper.

Nothing worthwhile was without risk. You had to decide whether your feelings were strong enough to make it a risk worth taking.

That’s the whole story of how I was so stupid as to risk everything that mattered to me, on something so meaningless.

Yeah, I won't exactly give out 5 full stars but this book definitely worth your time ;) 

Redeeming Love REVIEW by Francine Rivers

[MAJOR ALERT]
Heartache
Heart wrenching
Heart Pain
LOTS AND LOTS OF CRYING and SOBBING and RUNNY NOSE

I don't know why am I reading this so late? WHY NOT EARLIER? Yeah, this book is brilliant. It can make you so mad, angry and frustrated and all sorts of emotions. Powerful words, heart-wrenching story.
This book is just... GOLD.

A girl, a little girl who is unwanted by her father.
Eventually, her mother tried to get rid of her in order to please the man she loved.
A girl who lost everything.
A girl who doesn't believe in God. Anymore.
A girl who doesn't get attached anymore because, getting attached is wrong.
There is no LOVE in man.
There is GIVE and TAKE only.
A girl who is prostitute.
A girl who is wanted by many man for sexual pleasure.
A girl who thinks all men are the same, wanting her body, only her body.
A girl who has already gave up on the idea of living like an actual person. She eats. She breathes.

Then, Michael happens.
A man who wanted her.
A man who wanted her not just for her body.
A man who believes in and heard by God.

They met.

And you will read the most heart-breaking, breath-taking story ever.
Oh, did I mention that it's historical fiction?
Yeah, it's very brilliant. 

[LIST] JUST SO-SO. I WON'T READ SECOND TIME FOR SURE

First of all, I am sorry that I had to do this.
I AM NOT SOME WORTHLESS SHIT! (someone who criticize on other's hard work). I respect you all for making a book, it is indeed hard. (I am also fanfiction author so...)
Just that, the satisfaction the book give isn't just enough. Like every other readers, I crave more.
Expectation high as the description and ratings on Goodreads pointed up.
Then the book won't just meet the expectation I set. I feel lacking, unfulfilled so, THE LIST is just below.

BULLY - Penelope Douglas

You know, it's not so bad. But not my taste, first bestfriends then enemy? I mean... PEOPLE DO THAT? I don't know. For me, it's not realistic. Well, fiction is fiction. No rules applied. Yeah, you could try that book, I'm just saying it doesn't make it to my favorite list.

WHERE ONE GOES - BN Toler

This book is so unique that I won't re-read it. (YEP! Everyone else love this book) Because this kind of book, you just won't forget and the plot is awesome just that ending. I care so much about ending of books. I hate sad-ending. I just won't read books with sad ending. Not that I researched before I start reading, also my choice never is sad. BUT this is sad for me tho. Because the guy I want to be alive and well and happy in the end isn't...  the guy. /sigh/ What can I do?

THE EDGE OF NEVER - J. A. Redmerski

This book is fun. Totally fun. Road trip. Escaping reality and shits happening in their life. Then, they got to deal with them again. I don't know, I don't even know why I read this book in the first place. I don't even like inked and pierced guy. I don't know what makes me put this book in the list, cause I like it where it was going. But the last part, the part I thought would be brilliant isn't. AND here I am, putting this book in the list.

ARCHER'S VOICE -Mia Sheridan

Again, it would be nice if I'm not the only one not LOVE-IT this book. Yeah, mysterious, hot, sex all three criteria are in there. BUT WHY CAN'T I LOVE THIS BOOK? I don't know. I know I'm not crazy AT ALL. Just that, it's totally predictable. (BUT there's one point I couldn't predict but all the hints /really?/) Yeah, I like sudden death, un-announce. But this book is very hinting. Not like teasing, but showing it's trick that's why I lost interest. BUT TRUST ME, ARCHER IS ONE OF THE KIND and this book is worth it because of him. <3

LOVE LETTERS TO THE DEAD - Ava Dellaira

No actual comment on this one, I just won't spend another minute. Even the story is heart breaking, I think my age is far beyond old enough to read this childish thinking book.

BEAUTIFUL BROKEN RULES - Kimberly Lauren

I can't understand why this book is famous. Really, why?! The characters, or everyone in this books are sex-driven beasts. Everything they want is sex-related. Nice body, breasts, asses and 6-pack hot guys. AND two hot identical TWINS and everyone seemed to separate them with no problem even tho they are new. The writing is just like a fan-fiction. I could point out better fan-fictions than this. I mean, the plot is not so bad. And sometimes romantic. BUT unrealistic! As if college guys can afford 200$-400$ for donation date with girls (Yeah, that plot caught me off guard, it's kinda nice but like I said, unreal) and to get a date with his girl, the guy pay 1000$!!! 1000$ yep, three zero! >.< 

MY SKYLAR - Penelope Ward

At least, I made it till the end. This book just doesn't make sense to me. When Mitch and Skylar (two main characters) were kids, they speak and act as if they were adult. And now that they are adults, they f*cking act like immature children. I am so sick of the characters. This book has such great reviews? I can't help but rolled my eyes. Anyway, romance is not bad. This book got it owns fluttering moments of Mitch and Skylar but I guess it is not enough to call this a good read.
SO FAR, JUST THESE. Could be that you one of you will fall in love with one of these books. Not everyone has the same taste. Also could be that this post touches you, relates you in some way. Glad that I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE and YAY!
Thank you ;) 

Archer's Voice REVIEW, QUOTES, EXCERPTION by Mia Sheridan

People can be a little bit exaggerating. This book is good, absolutely more than just good. But I don't know, the whole thing about "small town, a guy like myth" isn't exactly my thing. I just... it's so unrealistic.

This book is Bree-centered book. Well, it says "Archer's voice" so I thought it could be about Archer. Well, yep it is. But I felt that it's more about how Bree is fragile. How she hurt and ran away from her problems. How she is the one the myth-like guys fall for... Well... I'm too old for that fantasy.

Other than that, it's a great book. Sex part not bad. But I can't feel the pain of Bree. There, the part she is total mess, I read it. But the feeling and emotion just won't come. But strangely, when Archer is worried about her? HERE WE GO, my strange little heart is beating. Maybe I don't like Bree. Maybe I love Archer. TOO MUCH. Yes, he's a god. A genius, with an incredible heart that is extremely hard to find in *hot* guys these days.

Well, aren't hot guys in books too common these days? Yeah you could say that but Archer is so kind and so innocent that it hurts me. It makes me want to protect him from all kind of harms and I know it's impossible because there probably won't be guys like him around anymore.

Bree has a dog... So, that dog ended up being a cupid, not so creative huh?

I took the stone path around the house, trailing my hands along the painted wood. I peeked around the back of the house and there he was, his bare back to me as he raised an axe over his head, his back muscles flexing as he swung downward, cracking an upright log straight down the middle so that three pieces all fell outward and landed on the dirt.
He bent down and picked them up and placed them in a stack of neatly piled pieces sitting under a tree, a large tarp off to one side.
As he turned back around to the stump where he was chopping the smaller pieces, he caught sight of me and startled and then froze. We both stood there staring at one another, my mouth slightly open and his eyes wide.
I closed my mouth and smiled, but Archer remained staring for several beats before his eyes did one quick sweep of me and returned to my face, narrowing now.
My eyes moved over him as well, his well-defined naked chest, all smooth-skinned muscles and rippling abs. I had never actually seen an eight-pack, but there it was, right in front of me. I guessed that even slightly strange, silent hermits weren't exempt from exceptional physiques. Good for him.

Could be said that it's their second meet. Archer appearance is yeah... wild and messy. Totally like a cave-person but... I don't see what's so bad about a cave person.

Oh... I forgot to mention something, Archer does not speak. 

Sometimes an understanding silence was better than a bunch of meaningless words.

I lost my heart to you. And, Bree, in case you're wondering, I don't ever want it back.

Try to believe that maybe more light shines out of those who have the most cracks.

Maybe there was no right or wrong, no black or white, only a thousand shades of gray when it came to pain and what we each held ourselves responsible for.

Loving another person always means opening yourself up for hurt.

I want to be able to love you more than I fear losing you

And sometimes, that's all it takes–one person who's willing to listen to your heart, to the sound no one else has ever tried to hear.

So... HAVE FUN READING ;) 

November 9 review by COLLEEN HOOVER Quotes and Excerption

THIS BOOK IS SUPER AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5 ABSOLUTE STARS OUT OF 5

Trust me, the plot twist is BRILLIANT. I'm like ; "what?" "really?" "you must be kidding me" "you're kidding me right?" the whole fucking time. (sry abt language)

There's Ben and Fallon.

Just like all others romance book, they met. An unforgettable first-meeting <3
You will love this book, I'm oh so guarantee that ^_^

Let's read some exciting stuff, shall we?

I’m rolling up my window when I hear him mutter under his breath, 

“Please don’t hate me.”
But I’m scared it’s already too late.
I tell the driver to leave, and when I’m a safe distance across the parking lot, the cab pauses before pulling out onto the road. I glance back at him. He’s standing in front of his apartment door, his hands gripping the back of his head. He’s watching me leave. I grab as many pages of the manuscript as I can reach and I toss them out the window. Before the cab pulls away, I turn just in time to see him fall to his knees on the pavement in defeat.

I bet this scene will get you. Well, that's just a scene right now, dun be so emotional by it yet XD

The most amazing thing about November 9 is .... /seebelow/


"Again . . . we’ll never see each other after tonight. And I can’t give you my phone number.”
I know better than to give him a way to contact me. There’s too much I need to do on my own and if he had my phone number, my entire focus would be on what time each day he’s supposed to call me.

Ben releases me and takes a step back, folding his arms across his chest. He begins to pace back and forth as he chews on his bottom lip. 

“What if . . .” He stops and faces me. 

“What if we meet up again next year on the same day? And the year after that? We’ll do it for five years. Same date, same time, same place. We’ll pick up where we left off tonight, but only for the day. I’ll make sure you’re following through with your auditions and I can write a book about the days we’re together.”
I let his words sink in for a moment. I try to match the serious look on his face, but the prospect of seeing him once a year fills me with anticipation and I’m doing my best not to act too giddy. “Meeting up once a year on the same date sounds like a really good basis for a romance novel. If you fictionalized our story, I’d add it to the top of my TBR.”
Now he’s smiling. So am I, because the thought of being able to look forward to today’s date is something I never thought would happen. November 9th has been an anniversary I’ve dreaded since the night of the fire, and this is the first time the thought of that date leaves me with a positive feeling.

Let me take you to the ecstatic world of QUOTES

It took four years for me to fall in love with him.
It only took four pages to stop.

What's happening inside my heart right now is way too consequential to deny. I think I've been misjudging the whole concept of insta-love. 

"Why'd you break up?"
"We were sixteen." 

You'll never be able to find yourself if you're lost in someone else.

Her tears and my soul, they live parallel lives.
Run, ache, burn.
Repeat.
Her tears and my soul, they live parallel lives.
- Benton James Kessler

Youth and Beauty fade. Human decency doesn't.

SO, are you guys ready for this book? You should. Because this is real. I read it for 2nd time and I still cry for Ben :'( :'( You'll understand T_T 

Don't Let me Go by J.H. TRUMBLE review, and short excerption

So, Adam and Nate. Also Juliet.

That book is "YEP" dun read if you found "GAY" offensive, because it is what this book is about.
You will find this book pretty impressive because of Nate. The way Nate thinks is very... human. Yes, the word is "human".

The way J.H. Trumble put the thoughts going on in Nate's mind is, like me. Sorry, it shouldn't about me but I found this book impressive because the author and I have no relations and yet, it's like he is reading my mind.

The thing about Nate is, he loves Adam. So MUCH that he didn't want to be in the way of Adam's future. SO HE LIED to Adam that he needs to know who he is without Adam. So, he pushed Adam to go. SO Adam did. LEAVE.

The things couples in LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP faced and go through are in this books. I don't have any gay friends and I am pretty sure I'll act like Juliet if I had one.

Juliet is Nate's best friend. Also who once likes Nate and also the one who found out about Adam and Nate. Let's see,

"Can I ask you something?" Juliet said. "Why did you make him go?"
And now it was just a piece of clip art again. 
"I didn't make him go. This was his dream. His big opportunity. He wanted to go."
"He didn't want to go."
"Did he tell you that?"
"He told me he was scared," she said.
"Of what?"
"OF leaving you."
"That's not not wanting to go."
She watched me for a moment like she was trying to unravel my brain, but I didn't want it unraveled, so I looked back at the screen.


So, Adam left to chase his dream. Things happened. /YOU DUN WANT TO KNOW NOW, DO ME A FAVOR. Read that book ;)

“Nate?”
“Luke?”
He smiled at that. “Do you believe in love at first sight?”
I didn’t answer. Because I did. And this wasn’t it.


Yes, There's this Luke. (Not Darth Vader's son :P) He's gay, not open, but gay. HAVE A BIG CRUSH ON NATE.


So, there's a lot of characters. You guys now catch on the main theme right? Nate and Adam fall in love. Life happens. Adam chased his dream. LONG DISTANCE and WORK and MISUNDERSTANDING and TEARS and MORE MISUNDERSTANDING. YES I FUXXKING CRY.
Please, you will love this book. The story is perfect. IT IS VERY HUMAN <3

Never Never Series REVIEW and Excerption by COLLEEN HOOVER & Tarryn Fisher

This Never, Never series contain 3 books (Part I, Part II, Part III)
This is the first ever collaboration of Colleen Hoover (my idol author) and Tarryn Fisher.

The Part I and II is so great. The start is full of mystery and full of romance that you are about stop a while in the middle of reading just to let out a shout in frustration. YES, it's kinda frustrating to read. CoHo is a tease.

It starts with Silas and Charlie, their memory loss (COMPLETE LOSS).
They were a couple, a very loving couple like soul-mate. But because of a lawsuit between their family, they parted, yes, tragic. Let's see...

PART I

Silas's POV

“What now?” I ask, leaning back in my seat. She’s barely touched her food and I’m pretty sure I just broke a record with how fast I ate mine.
She looks up at me and I can see by the trepidation in her expression that she already knows what she wants to do next, she just doesn’t want to bring it up.
“What is it?”
Her eyes narrow. “I don’t want you to make a smart-ass comment in response to what I’m about to suggest.”
“No, Charlie,” I say immediately. “We aren’t eloping tonight. The tattoos are enough commitment for now.”
She doesn’t roll her eyes at my joke this time. She sighs, defeated, and leans back in her seat.
I hate her reaction. I like it a whole lot more when she rolls her eyes at me.
I reach across the table and cover her hand with mine, rubbing my thumb over hers. “I’m sorry,” I say. “Sarcasm just makes this whole thing feel a little less frightening.” I remove my hand from hers. “What did you want to say? I’m listening. Promise. Lumberjack’s honor.”
She laughs with a small roll of her eyes and I’m relieved.

So, tattoos? Well, Silas and Charlie were pretty sure about their love and relationship. >< Yeah.

PART II 

Silas's POV

“Why isn’t my car on?
I wipe the fog off my window with the palm of my hand to see outside, but the rain is falling so hard now I can’t see anything.
Where am I?
I turn around and look in the backseat, but there’s no one there. Nothing there. I face forward again.
Think, think, think.
Where was I headed? I must have fallen asleep.
I don’t know where I am.
I don’t know where “I” am.
I…I…I…
Who am I?
It seems so natural to think thoughts that contain the word I. But each of my thoughts are hollow and weightless, because the word “I” is attached to no one. No name, no face. I am…nothing.”

Memory loss #_#

The papers that were sitting on my lap catch my eye. I reach over and grab for them. The pages are stapled together, so I flip to the front page. It’s a letter, addressed to me and some other guy named Charlie.

Charlie and Silas,If you don’t know why you’re reading this, then you’ve forgotten everything.

What the hell? The first sentence isn’t what I was expecting to read. I don’t know what I was expecting to read.

You recognize no one, not even yourselves. Please don’t panic, and read this letter in its entirety.

It’s a little late for the don’t panic part.

We aren’t sure what happened, but we’re afraid if we don’t write it down, it might happen again. At least with everything written down and left in more than one place, we’ll be more prepared if it does happen again. On the following pages, you’ll find all the information we know.

So, they are writing to themselves. Who else did that? Smart people? Yeah ~ It's pretty cool and pretty awesome. The plot and everything else.

So, I'm thinking, DO YOU NOTICE THE COVER? The hands?
Yes, it's a hint that it's not gonna end bloody nor parting. ;) So no excerption for the third book, you will be eager enough after reading first two books.

Of course, I hate all the books with tragic ending and but for this one, I am not satisfied with happy ending. This book could be so much better and greater only if THEY DIDN'T BLAME EVERYTHING ON THE FREAKING UNIVERSE !!!!!

I'm sorry but I am warning, the ending, the third book is not something you would give out 5 full stars. Well, for the sake of plot, should read'em.
