Just listen, Adam says with a voice that sounds like shrapnel.

I open my eyes wide now.
I sit up as much as I can.
And I listen.

Stay, he says.


Choices. Seventeen-year-old Mia is faced with some tough ones: Stay true to her first love—music—even if it means losing her boyfriend and leaving her family and friends behind?

Then one February morning Mia goes for a drive with her family, and in an instant, everything changes. Suddenly, all the choices are gone, except one. And it's the only one that matters.

If I Stay is a heartachingly beautiful book about the power of love, the true meaning of family, and the choices we all make.
I don't know what to expect when I started reading If I Stay. I've watched the movie and it was kinda meh. I started reading the novel last year and I just stopped in the middle of it because I thought it was boring. Then, not long ago I saw the novel just sitting on my table and decided to give it a second chance. It turned out, I was quite right about putting it down in the first place because If I Stay isn't exactly my jar of cookies.

In the epic sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel, The School for Good and Evil, Sophie and Agatha are home, living out their Ever After. But life isn’t quite the fairy tale they expected. 

When Agatha secretly wishes she’d chosen a different happy ending, she reopens the gates to the School for Good and Evil. But the world she and Sophie once knew has changed.

Witches and princesses, warlocks and princes are no longer enemies. New bonds are forming; old bonds are being shattered. But underneath this uneasy arrangement, a war is brewing and a dangerous enemy rises. As Agatha and Sophie battle to restore peace, an unexpected threat could destroy everything, and everyone, they love—and this time, it comes from within.

Soman Chainani has created a spectacular world that Newbery Medal-winning author Ann M. Martin calls, “a fairy tale like no other, complete with romance, magic, and humor that will keep you turning pages until the end.”
I've reviewed The School for Good and Evil before, click here to read it first. I wasn't particularly in love with the first book, heck, the only reason I was glad that I read it was so I could read the sequels, but I have to admit, this book totally surpassed my expectations. Like, WAY WAY surpassed my expectations.

The first kidnappings happened two hundred years before. Some years it was two boys taken, some years two girls, sometimes one of each. But if at first the choices seemed random, soon the pattern became clear. One was always beautiful and good, the child every parent wanted as their own. The other was homely and odd, an outcast from birth. An opposing pair, plucked from youth and spirited away.

This year, best friends Sophie and Agatha are about to discover where all the lost children go: the fabled School for Good & Evil, where ordinary boys and girls are trained to be fairy tale heroes and villains. As the most beautiful girl in Gavaldon, Sophie has dreamed of being kidnapped into an enchanted world her whole life. With her pink dresses, glass slippers, and devotion to good deeds, she knows she’ll earn top marks at the School for Good and graduate a storybook princess. Meanwhile Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks, wicked pet cat, and dislike of nearly everyone, seems a natural fit for the School for Evil.

But when the two girls are swept into the Endless Woods, they find their fortunes reversed—Sophie’s dumped in the School for Evil to take Uglification, Death Curses, and Henchmen Training, while Agatha finds herself in the School For Good, thrust amongst handsome princes and fair maidens for classes in Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication.. But what if the mistake is actually the first clue to discovering who Sophie and Agatha really are…?

The School for Good & Evil is an epic journey into a dazzling new world, where the only way out of a fairy tale is to live through one.
Review:
 
Here is another Middle-Grade novel I've read this year. The last book in the series just came out a few days ago (sadly, I don't have it yet) and I feel like I should do a review of the first book before I read and finally review the last one (of course I'll do it after reviewing the second book too).

There might be some minor spoilers here, so if you haven't read the book, I suggest you to read only the last paragraph.

Fangirlish | How To Be a Fangirl/Fanboy of Books and Stuff

I decide to talk about how to be the most amazing and extraordinary species on earth a.k.a FANGIRLS slash FANBOYS. Because, well, who else is capable of teaching you to be the most astounding and mind-blowing species on earth besides one of the species itself? Or, in this case, ME!

Let me introduce myself first. I'm a fangirl of many fandoms. I'm a fangirl of bookish, tv series, anime, actors, actresses, and basically everything's fandoms. But, I think this assistance is best if you want to be bookish fangirls/fanboys. So, actually it also works either way if the title is How To Be a Bookworm.

A brilliant, luminous story of first love, family, loss, and betrayal for fans of John Green, David Levithan, and Rainbow Rowell 

Jude and her twin brother, Noah, are incredibly close. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and dramatic ways . . . until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as someone else—an even more unpredictable new force in her life. The early years are Noah's story to tell. The later years are Jude's. What the twins don't realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, they’d have a chance to remake their world.

This radiant novel from the acclaimed, award-winning author of The Sky Is Everywhere will leave you breathless and teary and laughing—often all at once.

Princess Eadlyn has grown up hearing endless stories about how her mother and father met. Twenty years ago, America Singer entered the Selection and won the heart of Prince Maxon—and they lived happily ever after. Eadlyn has always found their fairy-tale story romantic, but she has no interest in trying to repeat it. If it were up to her, she'd put off marriage for as long as possible.

But a princess's life is never entirely her own, and Eadlyn can't escape her very own Selection—no matter how fervently she protests.

Eadlyn doesn't expect her story to end in romance. But as the competition begins, one entry may just capture Eadlyn's heart, showing her all the possibilities that lie in front of her . . . and proving that finding her own happily ever after isn't as impossible as she's always thought.

I definitely wasn't expecting Kiera Cass to write another book in The Selection Trilogy. I always thought there would only be 3 books in the series, apparently I was wrong. As a big fan of her works, my reaction when I found out about The Heir was pretty much expected:

"I'll tell you a weird thing about apocalypses - a thing I didn't even know until I was in one: they seem pretty bad, don't they? Well, take it from me: they can always get worse."

Three months after the killer rain first fell, Ruby is beginning to realise her father might be dead . . . and that she cannot survive alone. When a chance encounter lands her back in the army camp, Ruby thinks she is safe - at a price. Being forced to live with Darius Spratt is bad enough, but if Ruby wants to stay she must keep her eyes - and her mouth - shut. It's not going to happen. When she realizes what is going on - the army is trying to find a cure by experimenting on human subjects - Ruby flips out . . . and makes an even more shocking discovery: she's not useless at all. The Storm begins . . .
 
Review:
 
First, read my review of the previous book here.

Have you heard of The Rain? It's the first book of the series. Because of so many reasons, I had to give it 1.5 stars. But, apparently, the sequel was no better than the first one. I didn't have any expectations when I first ordered The Storm through an online bookstore, but, when I started reading it, I realized that it was just as bad as the first one and I found myself not enjoying it at all.

It's in the rain... and just one drop will kill you.

They don't believe it at first. Crowded in Zach's kitchen, Ruby and the rest of the partygoers laugh at Zach's parents' frenzied push to get them all inside as it starts to drizzle. But then the radio comes on with the warning, "It's in the rain! It's fatal, it's contagious, and there's no cure."

Two weeks later, Ruby is alone. Anyone who's been touched by rain or washed their hands with tap water is dead. The only drinkable water is quickly running out. Ruby's only chance for survival is a treacherous hike across the country to find her father-if he's even still alive.
 
(Minor cussing words can be found throughout the whole review)

I picked this book up when I was having a field trip to Jogja. I was in a local mall and decided to check the bookstore (Periplus) out. I was crossing my fingers and telling myself not to buy anything due to my current money situation, but I just couldn't help it that I have severe book issues. So, I decided to buy some books. I bought The Rain because the summary looked promising and damn, the cover was so cool. It looked like something with a dark and interesting story. But, turned out you really can't judge a book by its cover and its summary.

Review:

For those who haven't heard of Dork Diaries, it is a story of a middle school girl who has a diary, and yup, you guess it right, we're going to read her diary. There are already 9 books in the series and each one consists of the events that happened for a month, with the exception of the 8th book, Tales from a Not-So-Happily Ever After, which only consists of the events that happened in a day. The first one, Tales from a Not-So-Fabulous Life, takes place in her first month of studying in Westchester Country Day Middle School. So, the 9th book tells us about the events that happened in the 8th month she studies in WCD, which is April since she enters WCD middle school on September. She enjoys her school life so much with the company of her two best friends, Chloe and Zoey, and also the presence of her cute and sweet crush, Brandon Roberts.

The heart-stopping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, which Ransom Riggs, bestselling author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, called “a thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love.”

With Omega Point destroyed, Juliette doesn’t know if the rebels, her friends, or even Adam are alive. But that won’t keep her from trying to take down The Reestablishment once and for all. Now she must rely on Warner, the handsome commander of Sector 45. The one person she never thought she could trust. The same person who saved her life. He promises to help Juliette master her powers and save their dying world . . . but that’s not all he wants with her.

The Shatter Me series is perfect for fans who crave action-packed young adult novels with tantalizing romance like Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Legend by Marie Lu. Tahereh Mafi has created a captivating and original story that combines the best of dystopian and paranormal, and was praised by Publishers Weekly as “a gripping read from an author who’s not afraid to take risks.” Now this final book brings the series to a shocking and satisfying end.
 
Review:
 
This is the last book on the Shatter Me series. I already reviewed the first and second book of this series. If you want to read it, just check review tab. From all three books, I can say that this one is by far my personal favorite and the one that turned me into an emotional wreck the most (although the second book also did a good job on that department). This book literally made me cry, laugh, and pretty much shut myself out from the civilization for the length of time I needed to read this book. I brought this book to the mall with me and while my friend was busy shopping groceries, I devoured this book like a maniac. Pretty sure the store's CCTV still has recollections of me shrieking at the book like an idiot.

I am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside.

Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever’s survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites.

Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it’s Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all.

Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they’ve never seen.

Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn’t belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her.

It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.
 
Review:
 
The Young Elites was one of the most anticipated books of 2014 since it was written by Marie Lu, the author of one of the most hyped dystopian series ever. I loved her previous works, so it was no surprise that she made me fall in love with this one as well.

Here are several things I loved about this novel:

Review Ratings



Since I'm probably going to review everything I read from now on, I think it'll be best for me to really explain what my star rating means now. So, here goes nothing:

  • 5 stars

If I give a book 5 stars, it means I'm head over heels for it. The book is completely flawless and I absolutely enjoy every second of reading but dreading every second closer to the end. Your negative comments about that book are invalid and therefore won't affect my opinion at all. So, it's either you and I have different taste in books or you have no idea what great books are like.

  • 4 stars

If I give a book 4 stars, it means I really like that book. I like it sooooo much. But, there may be some things that annoy me or leave me with complicated feelings while reading it, therefore, I have to give it one less star because it's not worth it to give that book 5 stars. Or it can be that despite some things that bother me while reading it, I still really enjoy that book as a whole therefore I decide to give it 4 stars.

  • 3 stars
If I give a book 3 stars, it means I like that book, but, not that much. While reading it, I may find the book enjoyable, but at the same time I may also find it a bit boring and really worth taking off 2 stars for.

  • 2 stars
If I give a book 2 stars, it means I don't like that book. The book lacks everything that should be in a book. There may be several reasons why I don't like it. It can be the romance, the plot, the characters, the dialogues, the writing, or all of them altogether.

  • 1 star
If I give a book 1 star, it means I HATE that book. I would be better off without reading it in the first place. The only reason I finish that book will probably because then I can find a better book to read. Or, so I will know what bad books are like and won't let myself fall for them the second time.

Hope it clarifies everything and don't forget to give your opinions about the books I've reviewed!

it's almost
time for war.

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.

She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.

Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.

In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.
Review:
 
In the second book of Shatter Me trilogy, Mafi literally knew how to make us squeal in delight and then feel so many jumbled emotions at once. She outdid herself by creating this piece of perfection filled with satisfying romance, gut-wrenching action, and unpredictable twists. If I said I like the first book so much, I was totally in love with this one.

Review:
  Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky were finally back in the second settlement of To All The Boys I've Loved Before. They got together again, but this time, it was for real. Things were smooth and great and honestly, I enjoyed this book more than the first one, if only a little bit. The story was cute and silly and the main character was such a stuck up girl, but I still liked it. In fact, I really enjoyed this book because I can completely relate to it, and Jenny Han had a perfect way of capturing a girl's mind who was in dilemma and trying so hard not to drown in humiliation.

Review:
 
I'm writing this review months after I read the book, so maybe I'm going to leave a few things behind since I don't really remember all about this book and um, let's be honest, perhaps it wasn't really a good book if just a few months after reading it I forgot so many things.

I'm actually quite a fan of Jenny Han's work, after reading To All The Boys Before, I was totally hooked by the book and while waiting for the next book to come out at that time, I decided to buy her other books as well. I finally bought The Complete Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy.

Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl imprisoned on a satellite since childhood who's only ever had her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker. Unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice. 

When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.

June and Day have sacrificed so much for the people of the Republic—and each other—and now their country is on the brink of a new existence. June is back in the good graces of the Republic, working within the government’s elite circles as Princeps-Elect, while Day has been assigned a high-level military position.  

But neither could have predicted the circumstances that will reunite them: just when a peace treaty is imminent, a plague outbreak causes panic in the Colonies, and war threatens the Republic’s border cities. This new strain of plague is deadlier than ever, and June is the only one who knows the key to her country’s defense.
