Across The Universe

Man you don’t know how amazing this book is until you read it and you realize you just can’t seem to stop. Beth Revis did an amazing debut!! I COULDN’T WAIT FOR MILLION SUNS!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I read the book for 2 days! I didn’t even sense that time was already slipping so fast! Gosh!! Dystopian and sci-fi is AWESOME! Thanks to Beth Revis! 

Amy is a cryogenically frozen passenger aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed. She expects to wake up on a new planet, 300 years in the future. But fifty years before Godspeed’s scheduled landing, Amy’s cryo chamber is unplugged, and she is nearly killed.

Now, Amy is caught inside an enclosed world where nothing makes sense. Godspeed’s passengers have forfeited all control to Eldest, a tyrannical and frightening leader, and Elder, his rebellious and brilliant teenage heir.

Amy desperately wants to trust Elder. But should she? All she knows is that she must race to unlock Godspeed’s hidden secrets before whoever woke her tries to kill again.

How to start… ok. Let’s start how I really think that this may be possible in the future? But you know, I don’t want it to happen to me. It’s MUCH DIFFICULT than living on Earth. Let’s stop here for a while…i can’t seem to wrap my head around the book because lots of things happened in the book. Here’s my tweets (some reply to Beth Revis:

@QueenieDahilan:

• @bethrevis your book Across The Universe is SO amazing! Thank you for writing this book! I really love the science fiction you added too!

• @bethrevis while reading Across The Universe, there were a few sec I stopped & just let myself thought about my future. It made me cry :’(

• @bethrevis I love how Amy is SO into history too. How she was curious about Elder’s descendent. My dad & I were fascinated w/ those stuff

• Across The Universe! I’m so loving the book and wow the next book comes out next year, Million Suns! :’)

• I might have American blood in me idk. hmm… if only family trees were recorded then, we would know.

• You think future technology could help us do that? I’m terrified with the idea though. I’m really scares of my future.

• I was crying about it..makes me sad. :’(

Let me tell you about the part where I cried. I cried where people don’t know about anything…especially when they all are drugged from Phydus. Some people don’t even know what were they injecting in the animals. They thought it’s makes the animals healthier, more meat for them to eat. I cried to that part because…Amy’s mother is a..i can’t really remember what but her mother knows about Biological research thing about DNA. It made me cry :’( Because, one day I would want to be a micro-biologist/pharmacist to help people be cure NOT drugged people and leave everything like that :’(

I’ve also felt fascinated – that the author mentioned Amy likes history! I was amazed that Amy was curious about the past of “Godspeed” (the ship) and to look at the how many generations had passed and really curious how to find Elder’s descendent. It was so awesome! My dad and I talked about history, one day and I was like listening to the stories of war and many more things I didn’t even know. To me, they were like stories but they happened long ago. Now sitting in front of this computer…I would say… I AM SO GRATEFUL TO BE HERE AT PEACE.

Yeah…like from my tweets, have you thought about it too? You know your family tree? From the start…to now..like WOW. If only back then, people recorded it down and passed it on to the next gen. *sigh* We would know. I’m not pretty much kidding about I might have American blood or maybe even Japanese, Chinese..whatever but it might be possible. POSSIBLE in the future when technology is much greater. But I’m really terrified about it.

You know..now that I thought about it, wanting to be pharmacist/micro-biologist one day..I kinda want to make it happen. I mean, I want it to be MY discovery of how to track family trees and many generations. Idk…I’m just being sSOOOO INSANE, maybe hahahaha Maybe this book is to blame for thinking about it. LOLOLOL. This dream I have is in this quote from Isaac Newton: To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.

I am so scared of going to the future too. No more adults. I AM the adult the children around me will have for protection from something or… anything at all.

Ok..i better as well just stop my rambling here. It’s too much! This book is just great to discuss about in a book club! Haha I don’t have a book club though. Oh well.

P.S. Here’s something interesting… the Project Ark Ship (Godspeed).

Lots of things to see and infos to know about the spaceship! Oh..how I love the space not the ship haha! All right, ciao for now! Don’t forget to explore the site!
I’m being delusional about those things… so, don’t listen to a girl insane like me, ok? hahah

Some quotes from the book:
This is my favorite one ― (Elder) “Power isn’t control at all — power is strength, and giving that strength to others. A leader isn’t someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own.”
(Amy) “It’s always in the rain..”
(Elder) “And there is nothing between us but rain.
Then there is nothing between us at all.”

Delirium

The book is written by Lauren Oliver. I like the way she makes me feel like I am Lena in the book. I totally approved her good description of places, emotions and everything. I like it when books are very detailed. For a dystopian-romance novel, I didn’t think it would this good! 

Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn’t understand that once love — the deliria — blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the government demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy.

But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love.

It’s pretty absurd to me asking myself…what if LOVE was a disease?? I found that it’s QUITE possible since our world right now is too much on about LOVE but LOVE is what makes us all have PEACE not PAIN. But it hurts reading this book when everything you do has it’s barrier even when you only communicate/closeness to an opposite sex is considered a broken law – even saying LOVE will get you to the rotting cell laid out ready for you in the Crypts. It makes me sad truly. They aren’t at all free. The people who are cured thought they are living their life when truly it is ALL a big lie.

I am very happy that Hanna and Lenna (Magdelena Ella Haloway, her full name) met Alex Warren (his full and real name is Alex Sheathes) and everything that Lena once before frightens, has descended completely. She has open her eyes wide to all what’s really been happening. Thanks to Hanna too in my opinion, haha!
I can’t wait for Pandemonium soon! It’s the next book after this! I’m hoping that everything will be all right that she’ll rescue Alex and that she gets help from the Wild! — I won’t spoil this…you’ve got to read the book if you really wanna know

P.S. I’ve got a couple of songs that will remind me of this book. Barriers by David Archuleta and Love Story by Taylor Swift. You already know why Barriers but not Love Story. Love Story, because Alex like poetry and Lena loves the love story of Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. Actually, I have to think if this book was like Romeo and Juliet. Well…it was close enough to me. Between Romeo and Juliet, they were forbidden to love each other, right? I pretty much see it in this story but…not completely. It has another different part of the story about Lena’s mom. So yeah… I gotta stop here and enjoy the music!

Love Story by Taylor Swift

“I love you. Remember. They cannot take it.”
“Hate isn’t the most dangerous thing, he’d said. Indifference is.”
“The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and
when you don’t.”

What Happened To Goodbye

McLean Sweet doesn’t mind. In fact, she welcomes the chance to try on a new persona. Ever since her parents’ divorce, she and her father have been on the move, leaving the unhappy past behind them. Each move had brought a fresh opportunity for McLean to reinvent herself. Perky rah-rah girl. Drama mama. All-round joiner. But here in Lakeview, for the first time she’s putting down roots, making friends, and just tryng to be some she hasn’t been in a long time: herself. Dave has something to do with it. He’s the most real person McLean’s ever met and he thinks he’s falling in love with the REAL McLean. McLean doesn’t even know who that I anymore, but she want to find out—before it’s time to move on again.

I can feel this character. She did a split personality whenever she moves in in new towns. McLean with her dad, the fourth town, they went to was Lakeview and that’s where McLean became real. She didn’t used other names to cover her true personality. McLean has her own reasons for doing it before but because when she met Dave, the most real person she met, not all embarrassed of his past..changed her bit by bit.

Having a divorced parents is really hard…it’s true. But you do not have to change anything about you just to cover up your terrible past. No one’s perfect in this world. That’s what Dave Wade showed McLean too. Nobody’s perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Even the most genius, prodigy guy you’ll know. He’ll make mistake. There is nothing to cover it for. Don’t ever change your beautiful self. Just be you.

That’s what all I can say about the book. Mostly.

Some SPOILER included - P.S. This is about the #1 interesting titbit I shared, 2 AM. Ok…so, I think I do know about it now. Dave Wade was really just denying the whole real meaning of it in the book, when it is truly, BEYOND friendship. McLean found her 2 AM in the book. It was crazy to me because I STILL CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS WHOLE 2 AM THING. Blame Dave Wade for this. So much for being prodigy, advanced physicist. HAHAHAHA!
I’ll stop here and wishes you all HAPPY READING!

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

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!

Sisters Red

I’ve done this book a few days ago and now I would like to share it with you on my blog. The books is ‘Sisters Red’ by Jackson Pearce — Pearce also wrote the book, ‘As You Wish’.

“Sisters Red” is about 2 sisters who lost their mother who was eaten up by a Fenris (werewolf). Both of them were very little then. When they lost their mother, Scarlett March lives to hunt the Fenris defending her sister, Rosie March, from brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. Scarlett is determine to protect other young girls from a grisly death and her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead.

Owing Scarlett her life, Rosie hunts hunt ferociously alongside her. But even as more girls’ bodies pile up in the city and the Fenris seem to be gaining power, Rosie dreams of a life beyond the wolves. She finds herself drawn to Scarlett’s only friend, Silas Reynolds, a young woodsman who is deadly with an ax. Does loving him mean betraying her sister and all that they’ve worked for?

The book is made of Scarlett’s points of view and Rosie, is the other one. The author wrote Scarlett’s in Chapter 1 and then Rosie’s points of view in Chapter 2. It’s alternate. It’s a well paced book with heart-stopping action, heorines real enough to bleed, guys downright dirty, darkly powerful, risky love and romance hot! It’s all in one book!! I really enjoyed the book! It’s suspenseful too! LOVE it!

You need to get this in your hands now and read it as soon as you get to grab it! Don’t wait for too long!
