Tidbits on my current reading so far: What Happened To Goodbye


I’m not really going to my-so-basic review of this book yet, because I am halfway through the book, currently reading it and started only today. I just wanna share some things that got me stop reading for a while. I found interesting things to share for you about this book from Sarah Dessen!

When I got to the point of where Dave Wade (character in the book), mentions about “your 2 AM”, I just couldn’t help but think about the meaning of it! Clearly here’s my tweet:

and unexpectedly someone replied to my random tweet haha! It was a really cool reply btw! I just love her! She’s really sweet auntie to me!

I read her reply tweet to me and I can’t stop laughing out loud sitting on the sofa! I replied to her, saying, true. Idk though if she meant the friendship one or BEYOND friendship. But I guess, she’s referring to “BEYOND relationship”. :)

In the book though, Dave explains to McLean that “2 AM” means… something like friendship, who always be there for you whenever you need them even when it’s late at night and you call ‘em, they are always there for you. But you know I don’t think that’s what he really meant on the book…it’s pretty clear to me that it’s more than that.

(maybe) Last INTERESTING TIDBIT

This tweet I saw a while ago was so close to the story of the book and it makes me sad because I absolutely think that it’s true.

P.S. This is all for now…I can’t really get out all the feelings from the first interesting tidbit. I’m having a hard time explaining my feelings. Yeah…it’s true, i don’t have my own real 2 AM. Trust me..it’s not about boys I’m referring to..I’m actually talking about best friends. Oh well, you’ll never understand me. Thanks all for you concern, really.

NOT TO FORGET —–> Happy #3rdDavidArchuletaAnniversary debut album! @DavidArchie :D

CRUSH – Single

If you want more music…go check David Archuleta today!

If you want some 2 AM song related from the tidbit topic I shared, well I got some, from Taylor Swift! Not really THAT related but at least, the lyrics from her songs has 2 AM in them. I listened to her songs and actually heard lots of 2 AM and it puzzled me, saying, “does it actually have meaning?” Probably, I was lucky to have the answer given by Dave Wade, eh? LOL. ;)

That’s The Way I Loved You
But I’ve been screamin’ and fightin’
And kissin’ in the rain
And it’s

2 a.m.

and I’m cursin’ your name
You’re so in love that you act insane
And that’s the way I loved you
Breathe

It’s 2 a.m., feelin’ like I just lost a friend
Hope you know this ain’t easy, easy for me

Enchanted

The lingering question kept me up, 2 a.m., who do you love?
I wonder ’til I’m wide awake

Keep checking for the next blog! Ciao! :)

Post Thoughts on 'Stolen' - G = Ty x

My whole day thinking about the book ‘Stolen’. About Ty and Gemma. Oh gosh!

Ty write like this: gonna catch a snake. See you lata! Ty x

I can’t stop myself. Ty and Gemma, have been perfect if…if he had NOT done IT. I want them to be together but I knew it won’t happen anyway. But still.. Oh well. I guess we have to let go. Gemma did the right decision to say goodbye to Ty and made everything final.

It’s just really an amazing book that I can’t wait for it to turn into a movie someday. Even my friend who I recently spoke to about this book is super excited as I am! She’ll try to read ‘Stolen’ (and The Hunger Games). :)

I’m stuck with the song, Disaster by Jojo too! Great song for Gemma and Ty!! Ah love both characters (though Ty is a…you know) oh gosh. In the song, its just…the lyrics has agony. DEEP agony. In the lyrics: “No happy ever after, just disaster.”

That song has something to connect with Gem and Ty’s relationship, some way or the other at least.

My mind is so full of things about these two characters—you know haha! I was imagining what happens if there’s a sequel… I was just plain CRAZY with it imagining something that I know it’s not going to happen anytime! But really WHAT IF? WHAT IF TY got the letter?!
I may better as well shut up before I really go bursting out-GOING INSANE!

Lata!

Stolen: A Letter to My Captor

Stolen by Lucy Christopher. This book scared me a little at first and the guy who kidnapped Gemma Toombs, whose name is Tyler MacFarlane.

A bit of intro: It happened like this. I was stolen from an airport. Taken from everything I knew, everything I was used to. Taken to the sand and heat, dirt and danger. And he expected me to love him. This is my story. A letter from nowhere.

Gosh. I couldn’t describe this book really. Maybe just look “Stockholm Syndrome” up on google and maybe you’ll get a better idea about this novel. You have to read it really! Here’s a snapshot!

Wither

This books scares me more than you ever know. Well, I have just done reading it today. Wither— The Chemical Garden trilogy by Lauren DeStefano. It’s her 1st novel and is a dystopian genre. I couldn’t imagine myself like her- Rhine. Well, I admire Gabriel! Haha and I hate to admit, Linden seems a sweet guy, he’s just that he’s got WIVES. Eww lol!

A modern world where the new generation born in the world- has a short life span because of the chemical from a lab explosion. The world has been dead only left with North America. Females only live to age 20 and males, 25 (I think of this as, guys are still trying to be gentle in the last days of time in the book lol).
Sad. Sad book. But I guess i just couldn’t wait for the next book to come out, which is Fever! Go check the book out!
By age sixteen, Rhine Ellery has four years left to live. She can thank modern science for this genetic time bomb. A botched effort to create a perfect race has left all males with a lifespan of 25 years, and females with a lifespan of 20 years. Geneticists are seeking a miracle antidote to restore the human race, desperate orphans crowd the population, crime and poverty have skyrocketed, and young girls are being kidnapped and sold as polygamous brides to bear more children. When Rhine is kidnapped and sold as a bride, she vows to do all she can to escape. Her husband, Linden, is hopelessly in love with her, and Rhine can’t bring herself to hate him as much as she’d like to. He opens her to a magical world of wealth and illusion she never thought existed, and it almost makes it possible to ignore the clock ticking away her short life. But Rhine quickly learns that not everything in her new husband’s strange world is what it seems. Her father-in-law, an eccentric doctor bent on finding the antidote, is hoarding corpses in the basement. Her fellow sister wives are to be trusted one day and feared the next, and Rhine is desperate to communicate to her twin brother that she is safe and alive. Will Rhine be able to escape–before her time runs out?Together with one of Linden’s servants, Gabriel, Rhine attempts to escape just before her seventeenth birthday. But in a world that continues to spiral into anarchy, is there any hope for freedom?

When ‘Lightning’ meets Lucas Delos

BOOM! Lucas Delos and Helen Hamilton are meant to be with each other! This book is Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini (@josieangelini). I love Lucas and Helen so much!! Perfect couple! Really hope they are not cousins. Talking about the characters, Lucas… I might just die! He’s that handsome and sweet and everything at all! Helen, on the other hand, is a girl who just found out about who she truly is. Her mother…well, I don’t really trust her (I trust Lucas lol).

The song that reminds me of this book and these two characters, is the song from The Wanted—Lightning. Lightning is one of Helen’s ability! She get dehydrated when she has used all of her stored up lightning! Pretty cool, huh? Better read the book! This is just tiny little bit of what’s about.

Now that Hector (Lucas’ cousin) has a sin (killed his own kin), they need to protect him from whatever comes. Helen too is in big danger, the gods want her dead but Lucas and his family are there protect her and Hector.

If you want to know, don’t hesitate to grab the book! Go borrow in the library or buy online store or anything at all just to get the book! Happy reading peeps!

Song of the day: Lightning by The Wanted

The Hunger Games Trilogy: Catching Fire

Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol– a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.

Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she’s afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she’s not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol’s cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can’t prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.


AMAZING BOOK. Definitely a must read for all who loves suspense, adventure, romance, well..it’s all there and read it for yourself! LOVE the book to pieces! In fact, the whole trilogy! I’m on the way to read the 3rd and final installment of The Hunger Games Trilogy. I can’t wait to read it!
P.S. NLB – actually, i just borrowed the book from one of the libraries here. Don’t worry, when i have a lot of money from my piggy bank and i save money for it, I’ll buy those books in the stores and who knows, I may get the chance to get my copies signed from the author even ;)
If you’re wondering too, that cover is one of the other cover the book has but originally, the book cover looks like this, which is wicked cool too!
