ILLUMINAE BOOK REVIEW

Title: Illuminae 

Published on: October 20, 2015

My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars 

SYNOPSIS

This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do.

This afternoon, her planet was invaded.

The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.

But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak to again

Your typical girl-meets-boy that turned into a discombobulated maniac sci-fi novel!

MY DREAM OF A KIND OFFICE

Now, study space or offices became my dream lately. Since I don't have a permanent room in our house (which is sad like a lake) I fantasize to have one soon. So I'm just going to feature one office that seriously caught my bustled mind.

I still wish I have my own room.

Pre order here!

SYNOPSIS

Dill has had to wrestle with vipers his whole life—at home, as the only son of a Pentecostal minister who urges him to handle poisonous rattlesnakes, and at school, where he faces down bullies who target him for his father’s extreme faith and very public fall from grace.

He and his fellow outcast friends must try to make it through their senior year of high school without letting the small-town culture destroy their creative spirits and sense of self. Graduation will lead to new beginnings for Lydia, whose edgy fashion blog is her ticket out of their rural Tennessee town. And Travis is content where he is thanks to his obsession with an epic book series and the fangirl turning his reality into real-life fantasy.

Their diverging paths could mean the end of their friendship. But not before Dill confronts his dark legacy to attempt to find a way into the light of a future worth living. 

Lasting Friendships until the sun sets, a life of burdens and challenges.

I'm glad with this casting, I thought no one can surpass the original but this one might be. I cannot prevent myself from posting this portrait and leaving it to the abyss. How unfortunate that I don't live in London to witness their stage play but some photos will do!

THE MAGIC STRINGS OF FRANKIE PRESTO BOOK REVIEW

Title: The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto

Published: November 10. 2015

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars 

SYNOPSIS

This is the epic story of Frankie Presto—the greatest guitar player who ever lived—and the six lives he changed with his six magical blue strings.

A lifelong musician, Mitch Albom’s passion shines through on every page. Written with an ear for rhythm and cadence, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto is a classic in the making. Heartrending and inventive, Albom’s latest is infused with the message that “everyone joins a band in this life”—and that music, like love, has the power to affect us all.
