It’s here! I was not actually expecting it to arrive today, more like on the 26th.
I was shocked when mom shouted from the living room (I was up in my room) that I have a package downstairs. As I’ve mentioned earlier, I was not expecting it to arrive today. So, I went down, thinking it might be something else (but I suddenly remembered I didn’t purchased anything online the last week) and stared hard at the thin envelope my mom was holding. And then it hit me. My CAFEPRESS order has finally arrived! Woohoo!
It’s nothing to brag about, it’s just that, I AM A FAN! The ID itself is FREE but you have to pay for the shipping which is just $4.

I bought another book last Sunday. I’ve been seeing this book, Partials by Dan Wells since last month and finally thought of giving it a try. I recommend the book to those who love to read Dystopia. The minute I started reading it, I can’t put it down! I tried my very best to atleast read 10 chapters a day, but it was so hard. The book is a page turner. In just hours, I finished it. Overall, I liked it. A lot! I read somewhere that Partials is going to be a trilogy. And that the second book, Fragments is due next year. THAT LONG!! I honestly cannot wait.
PLOT: Humanity is all but extinguished after a war with partials—engineered organic beings identical to humans—has decimated the world’s population. Reduced to only tens of thousands by a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island. The threat of the partials is still imminent, but, worse, no baby has been born immune to the disease in over a decade. Humanity’s time is running out.
When sixteen-year-old Kira learns of her best friend’s pregnancy, she’s determined to find a solution. Then one rash decision forces Kira to flee her community with the unlikeliest of allies. As she tries desperately to save what is left of her race, she discovers that the survival of both humans and partials rests in her attempts to answer questions of the war’s origin that she never knew to ask.
So I’ve already finished reading Insurgent days ago. =) Took me 15 hours to finish the book including the eating and sleeping. Well, it’s a good read! The book is full of action and a couple of kisses there and everywhere. LOL. I can’t wait for the next book. It better be good coz the ending was a massive cliffhanger!
Moving on, I’m currently reading The Serpent’s Shadow (epub) by Rick Riordan. It’s the third and final book from The Kane Chronicles. I hope to finish the book this week so that I can continue reading Angels & Demons, which I purposely put off for a week now just to re-read The Hunger Games trilogy and Insurgent. Gah. I’m such a bookworm!
PLOT: He’s b-a-a-ack! Despite their best efforts, Carter and Sade Kane can’t seem to keep Apophis, the chaos snake, down. Now Apophis is threatening to plunge the world into eternal darkness, and the Kanes are faced with the impossible task of having to destroy him once and for all. Unfortunately, the magicians of the House of Life are on the brink of civil war, the gods are divided, and the young initiates of Brooklyn House stand almost alone against the forces of chaos.
To find the answer they need, the Kanes must rely on the murderous ghost of a powerful magician who might be able to lead them to the serpent’s shadow… or might lead them to their deaths in the depths of the underworld

OMG. Here it is! Finally found a copy of one of my favorite Dystopian book series! Woohoo! I’d like to thank the person who uploaded it on a forum I frequent. Thanks to you, dear!
This series is probably my third favorite after The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner in terms of Dystopia. I’m also happy to found out that Divergent (the first book) and The Maze Runner will be made into movies, which I AM SOOOOO LOOKING FORWARD!
Check out the book trailer of Insurgent below. I recommend these three series I mentioned earlier. It’s a must read!
PLOT: One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.
Tris’s initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.
New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth’s much-anticipated second book of the dystopian Divergent series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.

Hello MAY! Only weeks from now and I’ll turn 2X. =( I’m so old! Sometimes I wish I can turn back time and go back to my early 20′s, live my life to the fullest and just.. undo all the shit things that happened. Err. Oh well. Without mistakes, we will never learn.
I decided to read The Hunger Games trilogy for the 3rd time (I might read them again next year), and I never fail to fall in love with Peeta all over again. Sigh. I’m still disappointed at the very last part of the Mockingjay though. It’s like the author abruptly ended it or speed things up. I guess I want to read more of Peeta and Katniss aftermath. HAHA.
I downloaded the musical score of Hunger Games from Youtube. Thanks to the people who uploaded it! I love the score used at the Ceasar Flickerman Show scene and Panem’s National Anthem! The latter is just so epic. Very well done. Goosebumps every time I listen to it. Overall, I congratulate James Newton Howard for the amazing score. I LOVE IT!
