Just purchased another set of books!!! Aaaaaagh! These new UK covers of The Mortal Instruments will be the death of me. They are so so soooo gorgeous! I smell a tattoo design inspiration. HAHAHA.

I will also have a separate post on how Book Depository works in general. Maybe in two days? Just hit me up on my ask if you want to know more about them and I will do my best to answer them up to my knowledge if not accurately hahaha. Just give me questions and I’ll include them in my post for everyone to see. Thank you so much!

Online Book Paradise

As a book lover (or bibliophile because it’s the legit word for it lol), we find haven in bookstores. Label it as local or not, as long as they sell books, we will find peace in them.

Whenever we see that book we’ve been eyeing for so long, alone at that shelf, no matter how tight the budget is, we’ll be there to rescue it by buying it. Trust me, I know. This happened to me tons of times. 

But buying books is not only limited to physical bookstores, you can also buy books online! Awesome, right? This will be an introduction to the online book shop that I’ve been purchasing books circa November 2014.

Has anyone guessed it yet...?

IT’S BOOK DEPOSITORY!

Okay, so what is “Book Depository”?

Book Depository is an online book shop (duh) that is based from the UK. May it be fiction, non-fiction, cooking books, comics, or magazines you’re looking for, they have it!  Just type the book or the author you’re looking for and they’ll do the rest. What’s best about it is they also accept pre-orders which will also benefit you to pay less before its actual release date. 

Oh, and by the way, Book Depository offers FREE SHIPPING, WORLDWIDE*!

*they ship most of the countries, but you still might wanna check if they deliver to yours

The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan 5th and the last book of the The Heroes of Olympus series The last book we’ll ever read (I hope not) of Percy Jackson and the gang’s story

Just finished reading The Blood of Olympus. I do not know what to do now it’s over. This part might sound cheesy but Idc. This saga has been with me for years, and now it’s officially over. It’s heartbreaking, and yet heartwarming at the same time because of how the story ended. Another. Dam. Cliffhanger. And the worst part? IT’S THE LAST ONE. It’s up to us what to think might happen next. People will say, “It’s just a book. Get over it.” Well sorry to burst your bubble honey, for you it is, but for us, it. is. not. - Thankyou Uncle Rick for sharing us the story of Percy and the gang. 😭 Congratulations, you just won the crown of the Cliffhanger King. 👑

Hey guys! So my brother and I just saw The Maze Runner movie!!! 🙌 Actually our baby bro was supposed to come watch with us (it's the original plan) but he's not allowed cos he's only 11. Should've said I'm 18 so they would allow him. 😭 It sucks because that brother of mine was excited to watch the movie. Even before he knew about the movie, he keeps on firing questions about the book. He doesn't like to read books but he shares the same excitement as I whenever I get a new book. He's such a sweetheart, huh? ☺️ Anyway, the movie was SHUCKIN' AWESOME!!! Yes, there were a lot of changes but it doesn't matter because it still sticks to the storyline. The changes were even logical. They fit to the situation and the environment. My brother even told our baby bro that there were huge COCKROACHES (the Grievers) that looked like robots. 😂😂 And he told me that it was such a cliffhanger and he expected it to be boring, but admitted that it's not. 🙌✊ I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE SCORCH TRIALS!!! 🌇

This trilogy is just perfect. ❤️

Teen Wolf S04E12 - Smoke and Mirrors

***READ AT YOUR OWN RISK***

So this is the last episode of Teen Wolf season 4, and straight to the point, it was disappointing. :/

Yeah, Idk. I don't think I can put anything more here.... Which is such a downer. :(

But anyway, here are the bullets (yay!)

I actually shed a tear when I thought that Kira and Derek are dead. BUT THEY'RE NOT DEAD YAY and that rumor that Tyler H. won't be returning for S05 might actually just be a rumor forever yazzz.

Aw bby Liam learned how to control yay! Thanks Stiles my babe <3

WHO THE HELL IS THE DESERT WOLF I know a lot of, no, ALL of us are wondering who it is and was looking forward for it to be answered in this episode.

OH YEAH YOU GO SHERIFF STILINSKI FOR KILLING THAT BERSERKER!!!

THAT PARRYDIA SCENE THO OMG

Hahahaha Liam's so cute when lying to Coach HAHAH

Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare Format: Hardcover

★★★★★ – 5 out of 5 stars

-

This is my favorite book in the trilogy, even though I haven’t read Clockwork Princess yet. I am now warning you if my review turned out to be a fangirl-rant-review lol.

In Clockwork Prince, there will be a fair share of POV’s of Will, Sophie and others.

I really like the character of Sophie. She is brave, obedient and down to earth so it’s really no wonder guys would be attracted to her, mundane or Shadowhunter (I won’t tell who it is) despite the scar she has on her face. It doesn't matter how a person looks like on the outside, what matters is what’s on the inside.

Unlike the first book, this one really got me hooked up. Not just the turning of events, but also the romance between Jem and Tessa (Jessa), Will and Tessa (Wessa), Sophie and _____ (hehehehe), and Charlotte and Henry. Yep, they might be married but that doesn't mean it’s all well for both of them. Ang before I forget, MAGNUS BANE. Oh what a charismatic warlock lol.

Anyway, this book just let the feels freak out of me. I don’t really know which side I’m on for Tessa, but I’m hell sure that I LOVE JAMES CARSTAIRS. Oh that Asian look on him (based from the cover lol), his gentleness and calmness omg *swoon.*

But there’s Will, who’s all mysterious and grumpy, who makes everyone think of him as a bitter one, but deep inside, he is really hurting (not Jem kind of hurt.) I really feel sorry for him, like my heart was being crushed into pieces when I was reading towards the end. It’s really hard to see how a grumpy person suddenly became so happy then just watch all those go away with a flick of a finger. He sacrificed his happiness, the happiness that was taken away for years, then after finding out that it was just a trick, became all excited and happy but then to find out that it will all be taken away again. It’s a big sacrifice to make, and I don’t even think I can bear doing what he did.

So, to conclude this review (if you want to call it as such tho it doesn't look like it,) I’m really hoping for a great conclusion in the trilogy. Like a happy ending and all. Though I doubt it since a friend of mine spoiled it for me, thanks wow haha. But I think I’ll still be shocked (and be emotional) after I read that part.

Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare Format: Hardcover

★★★★☆ - 4.5 out of 5 stars

-

I only read Clockwork Angel in three days and I must say, that is one big book with long chapters. Nevertheless, I gave the book a rating of 4.5. Why? The book was amazing and unique in some ways than the others I have read before, but the story was a bit slow for me. But as I progress in reading the book, it gets more interesting and shocking. Like who the Magister is and who played as a great pretender. They were the characters that I really didn't mind much but turned out to be a great deal.

One of the things I liked about the book is that every chapter, there’s a few lines of poetry that Tessa have read. It’s amazing how some of the lines matched the theme of the chapters. Another is the changing of POV’s, since the trilogy is set in the third person’s point of view. The one that I liked most is Will’s. Speaking of Will, it’s his humor that you have to look forward to if you haven’t read this yet. Idk, I kind of laugh or giggle whenever I read that he would say something weird between serious conversations. Silly, huh? But what’s sad is the deaths. It’s really sad that these two (yep, two) died in the first book. It would be awesome if they lived a bit longer, especially the other one who never got the chance to confess the affection he has for the one he adore.

Oh! And before I forget, I really like how Jessamine’s name sound like mine (Jasmine.) HAHAH am I crazy or what?

Anyway, there’s nothing more I could say to this book. But maybe someday I might read this again and see if I change my judgment about the book. But yeah, the only reason I gave it a 4.5 is because of the speed of the story.

This is my book cylinder (cylinder cos it's not a box haha) Are you guys familiar with it? It's where you'll write on a piece of paper the book you've finished reading, put it on a container and do it till the end of the year. ☺️☺️☺️ So this contains all of the books I've read since January and I honestly don't know how many are they now hahaha but I'll count them all on January 1, 2015 ☺️
