'After I Do' by Taylor Jenkins Reid

From the BLURB: When Lauren and Ryan’s marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes. Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren’s ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for? This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It’s about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you’ve got. And above all, After I Do ...

E. Lockhart in PH signing recap!

I can finally say I have met the author of one of the very few books which managed to make me speechless for a good minute before I realized my heart was breaking. E Lockhart, New York Times bestselling author of We Were Liars and other amazing books such as the Ruby Oliver series, was here in Manila for a book signing this weekend and IT WAS SUCH A BLAST MEETING HER! I was wide awake until 3:30 am the day of the signing, mainly because of a bad case of nerves. Come on, it's E. Lockhart. Some few months ago I was nursing one of the worst book hangovers of my reading life because of We Were Liars and then I'm finally meeting her face to face. Ladies and gentlemen, E. Lockhart in the flesh. The moment Emily sat there and spoke after the first question was asked, I know we're all going to be in for a treat. If you're going to listen to the recording below, it's obvious how there are always a couple of seconds of dead air because we're all eagerly waiting for her a...

[Blog tour] A Darker Shade of Magic by Victoria Schwab + Giveaway!

Hello lovely readers! As you may have guessed, I am way late in this tour, but I am posting and hey! I still have exclusive content just for this blog tour. But first... Guess which London I'm in? Yup. It's Grey London. I had a chance to ask Victoria a question, which was: What's the weirdest thing you have done while trying to get ideas for your writing? Victoria answered: As strange as my ideas are, my process is fairly ordinary. The only thing is, my mind is too cluttered when my body is still, so I have this habit of walking. I walk when I need to parse ideas, I walk when I need to sort out plot, I walk when I need to write and can’t get out of my head enough to do so. I’ve thought through stories in half a dozen countries, trodding up soggy hills in the Lake District, wandering through a small church in Prague, one day I clocked 14 miles just wandering NYC. While trying to sort through ADSOM with my beta reader, I paced my front yard in the middle of January for two ho...

Review: I Wrote This For You and Only You by pleasefindthis

I first discovered Iain Thomas (pleasefindthis) from a friend of mine who loves poems, and I was surprised and happy that there was more to look forward to with this book.

Review: Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang + Giveaway!

Sometimes we just need to pay attention. Sometimes we just need to notice. Sometimes, we just need to ask for help when we need it. Title: Falling into Place by Amy Zhang Release Date: September 9th 2014 Published by: Greenwillow Books Buy: Fully Booked Summary: On the day Liz Emerson tries to die, they had reviewed Newton’s laws of motion in physics class. Then, after school, she put them into practice by running her Mercedes off the road. Why? Why did Liz Emerson decide that the world would be better off without her? Why did she give up? Vividly told by an unexpected and surprising narrator, this heartbreaking and nonlinear novel pieces together the short and devastating life of Meridian High’s most popular junior girl. Mass, acceleration, momentum, force—Liz didn’t understand it in physics, and even as her Mercedes hurtles toward the tree, she doesn’t understand it now. How do we impact one another? How do our actions reverberate? What does it mean to be a friend? To love someone?...
