Girl Online On Tour by Zoe Sugg


Girl Online On Tour by Zoe Sugg 


All the Feelsssssss !

Okay, this book was a little too intense. There's a lot of drama, a lot of conflicts, a lot of bitches, but also a lot of bonding. It's all too much in one, and you think it'll be too much to handle but they all seem to fit perfectly well and balanced. That is life. Life is suck. Life does not give you one problem after another. It throws everything at you and expect you to deal with it. 

I think Zoe did a great job in this book by addressing real life problem and situations. Zoe exposed to all her readers that no one's life is perfect, no matter how happy they look in pictures or how perfect their life is on videos. She exposed the rawness of life in this book that the readers surely are able to taste. Although, not all of us get to date a famous singer but we can relate to problems like long distance relationships, conflicts; we can all relate to how people use us in our life to get what they want and how forgiving is a better way to mend the heart than trying to hide and forget.

In this book, Penny goes on the tour with Noah, expecting to spend much more time together. But the first concert has already set a disastrous start. She got lost, lost her phone, and got anxiety when Noah is performing in a big concert. Luckily, Megan is there to help her.Yes, the same Megan that betrayed her before. Penny goes home and decides to still go on tour with Noah, facing her fear and overcoming her anxiety. 

As the tour starts, Noah is been super busy with work and meetings. They literally did not spend a day together or did anything that was on their to-do-list. Not only that, Penny is receiving blackmails from the person who stole her phone, threatening her to break up with Noah. Even worst, Noah's best friend who is the drummer of the band is a jerk and got fame up in his head. 

When Leah, Noah's fake celebrity girlfriend, comes on tour too, Penny is shaking with anxiety and worries. However, Leah and Penny did not become enemies like she expected, but the opposite; they become best friends. During this tour, Penny made many friends, understand the real world better, and got to experience this chapter of life that was totally alien to her. But as the tour went on, she felt that her relationship with Noah was not going anywhere. Regardless on how much she wants this relationship to work and how much she still wants Noah in her life, Penny knows that she has to do what feels right for Noah and for herself. Will this be the end of Noah and Penny?

The ending was sweet but also will make you want to pull your hair out ! I cannot wait for the 3rd book !

hugs and kisses







PS: Guyss ! I have been reading a lot of E-books on my laptop lately because I find it to be more convenient. Does any of you know some tablets that are good for reading? Link it to me! Please and thank you. xx

The Copper Gauntlet by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare


The Copper Gauntlet by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare


This. Book. Is. INTENSE!

So in the end of the first book, Call discovered who he really is. Now, he has to hide what and who he is from his friends and Masters at the academy. Despite all that, his father is trying to kill him and death zombies are trying to kidnap him. When you think nothing else could possibly go wrong, your best friend betrays you and now the whole magical institute is looking for your dad to kill him. Yep, it's a handful. 

In this book, you can really see how much Call personality has changed and grow after knowing who is his. You get to feel the dilemma and doubt that Call has after everything that happened to him. For a young teenage boy, he is really brave, funny, and so down to earth. You also can see how much his relationship with his friends has grown. Their bonds are literally like Harry Potter, Herminia, and Ron, or like Jace and Alec. 

The ending of the book was both very heroic and smart. Call did something that he knew was going to kill him but he also knew if he didn't do it, everyone else will die. But the ending isn't the ending. Even though the war was over between the people and the Enemy of Death, there's still demons out there: demons that will stop at nothing to dim the light of good and lit the life of evil.

The Iron Trail by Cassandra Clare and Holly Black


The Iron Trail by Cassandra Clare and Holly Black

Another round of applause to Cassandra Clare for drowning me in her sea of words. I am obsessed with Cassandra Clare's writing. I know in this book series, she is writing it with Holly Black but as you read the book, you can sense a lot of Clare's style and imagination. After living in her mind space for more than 10 books, you will know what that lady is thinking and how she writes. 

This book reminds me a little bit of Percy Jackson, some Harry Potter, and Clare's new book Shadowhunter Academy. It's about a boy, Call, who lives in this magical world where people can do tricks and play around with magic using the elements of earth, fire, water, and air. However, not everything is rainbows and unicorns. Call's father did not want Call to attend the magical school where they teach them powers and how to control them. He said that magic was evil; it killed Call's mother and it will kill Call too. That was not the end of the story. Long ago, there was two brothers, one became more powerful than the other. The powerful one became the leader and the brother became his assistance. They were a pair, like parabatai if you will. One day the brother died and the stronger brother wanted to bring him back to life. This leads him to a dark tunnel of evil and becoming the Enemy of Death. The academy and everyone was fighting this Enemy of Death for years because he was not only trying to bring people back to life but also breaking the rules of death. People who were brought back to life wasn't living; their souls were empty and they hearts were dark.

For years, people have been trying to find the Makar, a person who can defeat the Enemy and for years, they have failed, until Call came along. Call not only was able to learn more about magic and the history of his parents, he was able to learn who is really is and what he really was. Suddenly, his innocent, young life becomes a cloud of secrets and lies.


You will not believe how fast I read this book. It's just something about Clare's writing that can make you forget time, forget reality, and even your life. no joke. You can feel as if you are in the story. It is so easy to read, maybe because it was so interesting that you would not want to put the book down, and it was very challenging. There's a lot of friendship bond, action, secrets. All the juices you want in a good book ! Officially crowning Cassandra Clare the queen of fantasy writer.

Girl Online by Zoe Sugg

Girl Online by Zoe Sugg

Noah is funny, spontaneous, and loving. He is the type of guy you wish for on 11:11 and the definition of the modern Prince Charming. Penny is innocent, lucky, and very down to Earth. She is someone you would want to be or someone you would want in your life because she can just make you laugh.

In this book, Penny suffers from anxiety since she got into a car accident with her parents. Elliot, her best friend who lives next door, is the only one who knows about this. Penny decides to start an anonymous blog to write down her feelings and to be free. The blog worked ! Through the blog, she is able to express herself and also finds people facing similar issues. She feels connected, normal, and okay.

Penny is also a very good photographer. So one day, the school play asked her to take pictures. She got on stage to take the whole cast photo but fell and it was such an embarrassing moment for her. Soon, the video of her falling and crawling off stage went live on the internet. She is devastated but what made it even worst is the fact that it was her best friend since secondary school, Megan, who posted the video.

For Christmas, Penny's parents are going to New York to organize a wedding so it was a little escape for Penny, too. Since Penny's brother, Tom, who in fact is the most loving and thoughtful brother anyone could ever wish for, did not want to go, Elliot goes with Penny.

At New York, Penny bumps into Noah, a charming, good looking, and funny guy. They end up spending the whole day together and things happen, feelings changed, and connections sparked.

When Penny's little escape trip comes to an end, she is ready to say goodbye to Noah but only because she knows that they will surely see each other again.

When she got back home, things changed, secrets are spilled, and Penny knows her relationship with Noah will never be the same again.

This book was a fast and easy read. It was very touching and funny. I love Zoe, I think she is such an amazing person with such amazing personality. This book really reflected her in a way that her views can understand and recognize. I keep imagining Penny as Zoe in many cases.

I know there's a lot of people saying that Zoe did not write this book herself and that there's a ghostwriter. Yes, I am a little disappointed that she didn't write it herself but No, you cannot say she didn't put in effort to finish this book. I mean, if you know Zoe, she has anxiety, she is a good photographer, and she has a blog where she write all her feeling, thoughts, and ideas. This book is like Zoe's life story in fictional form. Marcus has a book about himself, Taylor Oakley has a book about his life too, and so many other Youtuber. Zoe was just bringing out her creativity and writing her life story in a fictional form. She loves writing, she loves being true to herself, and I believe she worked equally as hard as the writer to finish this book.

The message in this book was not only to get out of your comfort zone and fight your anxiety but also to not send hate though social media. If you have nothing nice to say, it's better not to be said. Zoe addressed at the end of her book that being mean and rude to other people online is never okay and it's never nice. You may be seeing their video or reading their blog post but you do not know them entirely. One video of them is only 10 minutes of their 24 hour life. One blog post is only a ruler long of their thoughts.

hugs and kisses,

Shadowhunter Academy



Shadowhunter Academy 

If you love Simon in Clare's book, then you will fall in love with him again in this book.

Simon. He is smart, funny, innocent, and just the kind of guy you would want to spend your whole life with. He is also the kind of guy you wish you could punch sometimes to shake some sense out of him. In the last book of Mortal Instrument series, Simon gave up his memories to a demon in order for Clary, Jace, Izzy, Alex, and Magnus to go back to the human world. Once he got back, Clare didn't get to see him and his life went back to normal as if he and Clare never met. Clare was heartbroken, even more so with Izzy. When Magnus and Clare went to find Simon again after the big battle with Sebastian was over, they found out that he named his band "Shadowhunter," which obviously means he remembers some part of it, right? I mean it's Simon he is a curious little beast.

So Magnus got this idea of letting Simon into the shadow world again and give him back his memories by being a shadowhunter. 



So Simon agreed. In this book, it's all about Simon going to the Shadowhunter Academy, learning how to be a shadowhunter, and hopefully be able to find a parabatai. Throughout the book, you will want to hug him because he just seems like a lost puppy without his memories but sometimes you will also want to punch him because of what he says to Izzy. He breaks up with Izzy because he says he can never be the Simon she remembers because he has forgotten who that Simon was. He says that it isn't right for him to let her wait till he gets his memories back and wants Izzy to move on.


Throughout his journey to be a shadowhunter, he lives in a nasty dorm, makes new incredible loyal friends and even some not so great ones, he also learns many skills and the history of the Shadowhunters. Most importantly, he gets to rediscover who he is and what he wants to be. He might never be the same Simon in the past that everyone remembers, but his is not less incredible now and I think everyone loves him regardless.

It's a soul grabber. It's a very short book but full of content and excitement. After this book, it's even harder to not love Simon and the Shadow world that Clare has created. It's both amazing and remarkably magical.

The Remedy


The Remedy

This book is supposed to be the introduction to the book The Program. In this book, some teenagers under the age of 18 are trained to be closers. They are trained to help people get over their griefs and move on in life. Quinlan McKee is a closer since she was seven years old. Her mother died and her father works in the same field. Every week or two, she will be assigned to a family's house and help them grief over their loss. How does it works? Quinlan will study how they die, what they used to be like, how they talk, things they like to do, mimic their behavior, dress up like them, and becomes them. This job is not like therapy or counseling. Quinlan has to become the daughter of the family, she has to forget who she is to become another person. On one assignment, Quinlan has to pretend to be Catalina, whose death is undefined. The family is nice to her, Catalina has a boyfriend, and for once, Quinlan feels like she is living a normal life. She got depressed when she realize that in another two weeks she might be in another family's house, being someone totally different. She may be helping people grief but she still hurts. She may be taking other people's pain away but she is lost. She has to find herself again and anchor that in her before she is lost forever in another girl's life. While on this assignment, Quinlan becomes suspicious over Catalina's death and on the same time, her partner, Aaron, is also on an assignment and his patient's death is also undefined. There is a pattern to all the deaths and there is something going wrong with the system, and the cooperation and Arthur Pritchard (Creator of the Program) are at the center of it.

I never got so confused whiles having so much information and answers. This book is brilliant! The feelings were there and real. I never felt as lost as I am reading this book, so depressed and sad for Quinlan. She has to help others grief while she has no time to feel hurt and recover herself. However, how the book ended left me with more question than what I 've started with. I am really looking forward to another book to give me all the answers. This book has the elements of suspense, mystery, romance, betrayal, and psychological drama, that readers will fall head over heels for. It's like PB&J sandwich, all mushed up together, don't look so great, but brilliantly combined.

The Treatment


The Treatment 

You matter - Realm

I am helplessly destroyed by this book. It was amazing! It's actually rare for all the books in a series to all be amazing but Young did a wonderful job in keeping her readers hooked. In the book, the Program would give patients pills to erase their memories, I think that is what Young is trying to do. Giving her readers excitement, suspense, betrayal, and romance, then leaving her reader to dwell in her world and forgetting reality; the world where friendship, hope, and love is the Treatment to depression.

So the first book of the series, the Program, left off with Sloan and James running away. In this book, both of them join the rebellions but there was something fishy about them. James and Sloan cannot trust anyone. Things didn't go as well as planned and the Program are now hunting them. With no one they can trust, Sloan and James have to stick together but something came between them. Sloan is captured and brought back to the Program. This time, they will not just erase her memory but they will make that she is erased from the world. 

Reading this book, being in Sloan's mind, and experiencing what she is going through, feeling what she is feeling, and just living in her thoughts can be both dangerous and exciting. When I take a step back from the book, I actually have to gather my thoughts together and get back to myself and to reality. Young definitely has her way of making her readers feel involved in the story. It was a brilliantly, well written, amazingly told story and I wish the tale would not end. 


“It's taken me all this time, all this loss, to realize what really matters is now.”

The Program


The Program 

I think prince charming is too old school, every girl deserves a James in their life. Every girl needs a boy that can remind them how lovely they are even then they look like a laughing giraffe. Every girl needs a boy that can pick up her broken pieces and cherish them like his own. Every girl needs a boy to tell them "everything will be okay," when she lost hope, even though he does not believe that tomorrow will be okay, he needs her to believe so. James is that guy.You know when nothing's going right, James will make everything better. But what happens when James cannot make it better?

Sloan is broken but she has to fake it to live. She has to fake it or she will be sent to The Program. The Program is where people go when they are depressed. The people in the Program "fix" them. When the "patient" comes out of the six-week program, they are empty souls. They can no longer remember their past, they can no longer remember who they were or who they are. When Sloan's brother dies, Sloan was broken but James was there to fix her. Now, a good friend of theirs commits  suicide, Sloan has to keep James together or he will be sent to the Program. 

When James' situation gets worse, he is sent to the Program. A week later, so does Sloan. The six-week in the Program is horrible. She wants to hold on to her memories because they are all she has but the Program slowly strips them away from her, one by one. After six weeks, she no longer remembers anything from the past, she no longer remembers who she was like before. It's as if she is a walking robot, alive, but empty inside. Although she could not remember anything from the past, whenever she sees James, she feels something different. Slowly, day by day, memories from her past hits her. She could remember bits and pieces and she remembers James. 

When nothing seems important and everything matters, go with your gut. I love this book. The love that James and Sloan has is like Bella and Edwards'. It's unbearably sweet and the story line is utterly moving. Not gonna lie, I finished this in less than 5 hours. The last time I read a book this fast was Twilight? I don't know. It was amazing. I cannot wait to get my hands on the second book!

The Sword of Summer Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard


The Sword of Summer (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard)


Rick Riordan has done it again! I always find myself either laughing till my stomach feels flat or sitting at the edge of my chair, reading the words off the pages like my life depends on it. It's exciting, funny, and adventurous. The myth that Riordan plays in his story is so complete and well thought out. You will not disappoint, in fact, you will be mind blown. It's not the old Percy Jackson myth but more like Thor and Loki kind of myth. However, it is nothing like the Marvel movie, that I guarantee. 

This story is about Magus who dies but is still alive. (stay with me. It will only get more confusing) When a demigod dies, they go to this underworld hotel where they get to train and prepare for a battle between the Nine Worlds. Still wrapping around the fact that Magnus is dead, he has to find the sword that his father, who is a god that he just found out, gave away. He has to find it before evil does and he has to stop them from freeing the Wolf, strongest and terrifying wolf in the Nine Worlds.

From being a homeless kid to fighting three giants and saving Thor; Magnus not only made new loyal friends but also found himself. Even though everyone doubted on him and even a prophecy said he was not meant to be the one to save everyone or the hero of Nine Worlds, Magnus is determined to do what he feels right.

It's an amazing book and despite being on a quest that most likely will kill Magnus, he always finds a way to lighten things up. Riordan has a great sense of humor.

The Heart of Betrayal Book Review


The Heart of Betrayal 

It's not everyday you get kidnapped by the man who killed your brothers and kept you alive just because you are gifted and have super powers. 

In this book, Lia was taken away by her kingdom's sworn enemy, betrayed by Kaden, and now has to find a way to get out. In addition to all the mess she is in, she does not know whether she should trust Kaden, the man who she thought was protecting her but was assigned to kill her or the Rafe, the prince who lied to her.

Though she was held prisoner, Lia never gave up hope that she will one day be free. She now knows that Kaden will always be loyal to Venda and Venda will always be her enemy. Rafe on the other hand, risk all he had, his kingdom and his life to save Lia. Together, Lia and Rafe plan to escape but Komizar, the leader of Venda, is too cunning. Komizar would never let Lia walk out of his kingdom alive. Whiles Komizar is away, Lia gets the chance to explore the land of Venda and saw not loyalty in the people's eyes but fear. They fear Komizar, the soldiers and the Council. Lia wants to use those fear to her advantage. Will she win over the people and escape? Will she win the battle between her and Komizar with Kaden on his side? Will her power be a gift or a curse?

I think Pearson is trying to make me cry, I think she is, and yes, she succeed. The ending tho. ARGH! I CANNOT! HOW? WHAT? okay. Let's take a step back. The beginning of the story was exciting and dangerous. When you get to the middle, you feel as if it's your mission and your life is literally on the line. In the end, you will just *flipthetable . This book will definitely leave a deep scar in your memory and the feels man. ohh boyy. After I finished the book, I immediately checked on goodreads and there is a third book coming! Yay right? no! The book comes out on August! That is literally 8 months. 8 months of not knowing what will happen to Lia? After I have connected with her, feel for her and actually live in her mindset for 470 pages? NO ! 

You can tell it was a brutally amazing book. It is exciting, powerful, and fierce. Just read with caution, maybe lock you feels aside for a while.

Rebel Belle


Rebel Belle 

“Look at him. Whole life turned upside down, and he’s in there making pizza rolls.” 

Harper Price's live was perfect; perfect grade, perfect boyfriend, perfect student, perfect daughter, perfect neighbor, perfect citizen, and a perfect future well planned. On her important night, the night she will be crown as the Prom Queen, her destiny changed. She changed. From being a normal highschool girl, she changed to become a protector. Now, she has some superhero power and a duty. Harper has to protect David, the boy she swore she hates, from being killed. 

Still trying to make sense of what is happening in her life, Harper has to find out who is hunting David, why is he hunted, and try not to get both of them killed in that process. When balancing between her perfect life and her secret destiny to protect David goes out of line, Harper has to choose what is more important; the perfectly normal life she has or protect David, her least favorite person. 


This book kind of remind me of The Vampire Diaries for some reason. I keep imagining Elena and Caroline when I was reading this book. Actions are packed in all 300+ pages. Every chapter there is either someone dead or someone going to die. The ending has a very clever twist that will leave the readers breathless. Trust me, when you get to the end of the book, you will be holding your knife, ready to fight for the next book. It's brutally amazing and leaves you restless.

Ashes to Ashes || Book Review


Ashes to Ashes

I am forever deeply scared by this book. It has a whole new level of creepiness. Definitely not suppose to be reading this at night but I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this book. The romance, the betrayal, the drama, and the sacrifices felt so real. After five minutes into the book, your heart will literally feel sore. The characters were so well though out and even though you don't know what their favorite color is or their favorite pizza toppings, it is as if they are you best friend already at page two. Nonetheless, it was brutally unforgettable.

This book is about  a group of girls, Lilia, Kat, Mary and Rennie, who were best friends but grew apart and became strangers at high school. One day when Rennie died, it brought Lillia and Kat back together but they could not find where Mary went, maybe she moved on and moved away but that was what they thought. As their last year of high school went by, things started to get haunted. They started seeing Mary floating around and in their dreams. Was she dead or was it just an illusion?

I crawl into a ball after reading this book. It was sooooooooooooo creepy but touching at the same time. After reading this book, I literally don't know what to think or feel and that's the power of a good book. It slowly grabs your soul , little piece by piece, and won't let you go even when you hit the last word of the book.

hugs and kisses,

The Silver Witch || Book Review

The Silver Witch


If you loved Disney Halloween movies when you were young, you will fall flat on this book ! It has a perfect balance of fantasy and mystery with a hint of thriller and romance.

Generations after, Tilda found herself living by a lake after her husband died. Since then, things has been happening to her. Things she could not explain. Is Tilda a witch or was she cursed?

I freaking love this book ! It's brutally good and unforgettable. I find myself thinking about it days after. The story haunts you to want more.

A Fireproof Home For the Bride || Book Review


A Fireproof Home For the Bride


She is a brave, strong girl but was born in the wrong time, in the wrong century. Emmy is a Lutheran, she knew her faith that in the future, she would get married to the boy in town and be a lovely wife with 4 children. But she knows and believes that she is more then that. After discovering the buried truth of her family and her religion, she was more keen to dig up the towns' mystery. The truth burns her soul with hot ice flame.

While she was meant to be married to a guy whom she had known all her life, she fell in love with a Catholic boy who was rich and utterly good looking. Because he was Catholic, it was against her religious believe and her family's legacy.

As she discover more and more truth, it was like one small cut after another, bleeding out her thicken skin. All of the things she thought was true and the people whom she though she knew deeply, turned to be a lie.

I really enjoyed this book. It is quite old century but it emphasize the strength and independent of a young girl who had nothing and no one to believe in her but herself. She believed that she could so she did. It was both motivational and inspirational.

5 tips on How To Start Reading More for the New Years

Hello Beautiful People,

I have heard many people saying that they want to start reading more and at starters, they do, but that only lasted a few weeks. Some would say they "weren't born to read" while some would say that they simply have no time. But what I think is that you don't find the time to read, you simply make the time to read. Reading can be fun and enjoyable, trust me on this one.

Here are some tips to get started on reading for the new years.

1 . Don't be ashamed.


Sometimes, people don't intend to read because it's not "cool" You know whats not cool? Not been able to experience the world and the magic books brings. Its like taking you to a whole new world , escaping the reality.

John Green said, "Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.” 


2. Get a library card


Once you are committed to go to a public library, borrow one or two books.  I find that when you borrow a book, you are more likely to read it then when you buy them. This is because library has due dates for you to return the books you borrowed. Thus this makes you set a goal or a deadline. You will have to train yourself to read the book before the deadline while buying them you won't feel the need to do pretty much anything at all.

3. Join a book clubs


Book clubs usually helps you with understanding the story more in general. So when you join and participate in one, you are most likely to read the book before hand so you don't feel lost or left out.. If you don't know where to find a book club, check the local library, there will be book clubs and book evens where readers gather together to share their thoughts.

4. Find your interest


You cant be reading a book you have totally no interest in. It's like reading History textbook. Unless you like it then read it otherwise, don't waste your time. I find that when I am interested in one specific type of book, I could inhale it in one sitting. But if the book isn't my type of genre then you will find the book lying round my room for a week ! Thus, discover and explore different variety of genre, then decide what you like best and which you are most interested in.

5. Sign up for Audio Book !

Audio Book is basically a book but instead of reading it to yourself, someone else it reading it to you and the best part is, you only have to listen. I find it helpful to have audio book when your have a busy schedule. You could listen to the book while you get ready for work in the morning, you could listen to the book while you make dinner for your family, and you could even listen to it through your phone when you are driving and stuck in horrifying traffic. Its a good and easy way to get a head start in dipping yourself into the world of books. I will link the audio book website at the side bars so feel free to check that out !
