Extraordinary Ordinary Moments

Extraordinary Ordinary Moments

This book has   ***  P E R F E C T I O N  ***   spelled all over it. It's what I want and what everyone needs.

Basically, it's a book of random things that you value or you care about. On one page it'll ask you what is your most peaceful place that you can imagine, things you have accomplished, things you want to do, your dreams, your success, you hopes, etc.



There's so much in this book, it's amazing. Apart from being totally cute and Instagram-worthy, it's very therapeutic and helpful to the soul and mind. Especially at this time of the year, going back to school and ending 2016, stress is slowly knocking on our doors, at least it is for me. I find that writing and answering some of these things in the book, help anchor myself in me. It's easy to get lost within stress and all the things we face everyday. Sometimes, you just go, go, and go without truly finding the meaning behind what you are doing, why you are going it, and if you like what you are doing. With this book, I find myself more calm and more in-tune with myself and what I want. I discover myself often when I answer the questions. I didn't know what place I find peaceful, after thinking it for a long time, I realized what it was and in a way, it found me and I found myself.

It's a very helpful book and a very fun book with great illustrations. It's a journal that you should revisit every year to see your growth, your achievements, and to find you.

The Opportunist (Love Me with Lies #1)

The Opportunist (Love Me with Lies #1)

My heart is broken too badly to even...

Why

How

What

This book ruined me.

The mystery behind why Olivia will not love goes on throughout the book. Her love for Caleb was obvious to everyone but herself. She tried to deny it. She tried to hide it. But once she was ready to love, she lost it.

Olivia had a rough past with her father which made her lost hope for love. Love makes you vulnerable to hurt. Caleb loves fiercely and strongly but he has a hard time forgiving Olivia for leaving him. He was ready to give her everything but she was too selfish to see it. She was selfish because she was not willing to risk loving for Caleb when he was willing to move the moon for her.

Caleb lost his memories after an accident. Olivia spots him on the street one day after so many years since they broke up and thought it was her second chance. But what will happen if Caleb remembers again? He will hate her and even more that she lied to him the second time. Can she bear the hurt then?

Waking Olivia

Waking Olivia

This book.

So many emotions.

So many heartbreaks.

What?

Olivia had a very very rough past but she doesn't even remember it herself. It was a dark place for her. She lives alone for years, hiding from the man in her past that hurt her. 

After an incident at UT where she nearly beat a guy to death, she got a scholarship at another campus. Olivia is the best runner. When she runs, she makes others look like they are walking in slow motion. 

Will is Olivia's coach but he thinks she is trouble. He did everything he can to make Olivia work harder and to prove to him that she was good; when in fact, he was trying to push her to prove to himself that she was good.

Will finds Olivia's feet bleeding one day and asked her what happened. Her answers shock Will to the bone. He could not stop thinking about her. Olivia appears to be strong and independent but when she was with him, she opens up just enough to make Will wants to know more and wants to protect her. She trusts Will somehow and told him what was going wrong. 

When Will found out what Olivia is going through, he stops at nothing to help her. Falling in love with her was not on the list, though. He could lose his job. He could shame her name. But love was unpreventable.

It Ends With Us- Collen Hoover

It Ends With Us- Collen Hoover

My emotions are so raw right now.

This book..

Collen Hoover has a way to get my feelings and screw them in the nicest torturous way ever.


I love this book.

Lily graduated with a business major and started her own shop in Boston. She has a rough past; her father was abusive to her mother and her mother let him but what was worst was she never did anything to stop him. When she was 15, she met a guy, Atlas. He was homeless; kicked out of his mother's house cause his stepdad didn't like him. Lily saw him and helped him. She got him through his toughest time. When Atlas left to his uncle's place and to the military, their relationship stopped there or it just paused.

Moving on from her past, she found a place in Boston and was ready to start a new chapter in her life and she met Ryle. Ryle is a neurosurgeon. He never gets into relationships because he saw them as a burden until he met Lily. Lily made relationship a gift. He fell for her immediately and she did too.

But Atlas showed up. Everything was broken but it was at the broken places that they found each other again.

I love the story. I feel like I'm tip toeing along the edges of a cliff. Atlas is my dream. He is so kind, so sweet, and so true to himself. I will be happy to lay my life on him, knowing he will protect it because he is just that good. Lily is so strong as a person. If I were her, I might die a thousand times in the book but she survived. I just love the characters in this book and I feel so much for them. Maybe a little too much.

Settling the Score (The Summer Games #1) by R.S. Grey

Settling the Score (The Summer Games #1)

Settling the Score is about a US female soccer player, Andie Foster who is both young and wild but works hard to be an Olympian. She is the best player on her team. Going to her first ever Olympic game, she expects to win gold, not hearts. When she meets the famous royal British swimmer, Frederick Archibald, things went from simple to very complicated. She is falling head over heels for this guy but then she finds out that he has a betrothed to a girl back in London. Her heart is shattered. She is falling for someone who is off limits. What is worst is if the public knew, she would be the Olympic whore. Her reputation would be ruin, her dream would be shattered, and her heart would be devastated. Andie has to choose between her mind and her heart.

This book feels so much like the Royals Sage by Genera Lee. Freddie is British and so is Alexander. Both of them are royals. Clare and Andie are both from the states and both have something to fight for. Also, I think their personality quite similar.

I love how the book is so present. Olympic at Rio is coming soon and it just gives us the feel to it. I also love how independent and mature two charterers are, individually. I love how Andie can set her mind away from Freddie when she is playing on the field. I love how she came to her senses and accepted the reality when she found out they can never be together. I love how she was so aware of herself, not letting him touch her because she knew it would not end well if they did. I love her determination, her courage, and her sportsmanship; on the field and in love. I love how she never gives up.

Hopeless (Hopeless #1)

Hopeless (Hopeless #1)

We all have shit said about us during high school. Sometimes we try to set things up, sometimes we ignore it just enough so that people forget, sometimes the rumors becomes us, and sometimes we just break. Holder and Sky had serious shit talked about them. They were judged horribly by people they hardly know. Holder was known for beating a gay kid nearly to death. Sky was known as a slut, though she never even had sex. The reason why Holder beat the kid up was because the kid was an asshole. The reason Sky make out with boys was because she was trying to figure out why she never felt anything. When someone kisses her, she felt nothing. She zones out or just blanks out. When they bumped into each other, things changed. Sky begins to have bits of memories of her past and of her childhood. She begins to remember why she was adopted and who she really was. What terrifies her most was what was done to her before she was adopted. What was done cannot be undone. What she had to go through haunts her even when she can't remember.

This is a beautiful love story. I was torn inside. It's brutal yet amazing.

Ugly Love- Colleen Hoover

Ugly Love- Colleen Hoover

The feelings are real. I felt my stomach hollowed and my feelings juggled between my mind and my heart.

Literally not OKAY !

The beginning was a little slow but after you get through the "introduction" everything is worth wild. It's an interesting way of writing and I loved it !

This book is about Miles and Tate. Miles is a 24-year-old pilot and Tate is a med student. Miles is Tate's brother, Corbin, best friend. They live next door to each other- great- trouble.

Miles has a hard and unforgettable past. Tate has an innocent heart that hopes- a lot. When both of them agreed that they are attracted to each other, the promised to only have sex.

Miles asked two things from Tate:
1. don't ask about his past.
2. Don't expect a future.

Tate thought she could do it but her heart won over her head. Everything he leaves, she aches. The last time, she had enough so she left.

Love is ugly.

“Love isn't always pretty. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping it'll eventually be something different. Something better. Then, before you know it, you're back to square one, and you lost your heart somewhere along the way.”
― Colleen Hoover, Ugly Love


I'm casting Tate and Miles:

  


The movie Ugly Love will be out 2016 and Nick Bateman is actually casting Miles.

DREAM CAME TRUE.



They are keeping Tate a secret for now but I cannot wait for the movie. I need to read more of Hoover's book. I'm loving her style of writing. It's different- good different.
