May: Book Shelves Reviews
Hi Folks!
Sorry for this very late post. I have been so busy lately. What makes me busy? Well, practicing our routine for the company's sportfest, module training for the Church's Worship team, rehearsing songs and so on, and so forth.
This post is not all about that, I'm just trying to explain and defend myself. :)
I am about to share with you my book reads for this month. Despite the hectic schedule, sleepless nights, drained energy and etc., I still managed to read my e-books. Five books is not bad after all? Agree? What about a big clap offering for me? Just kidding. To tell you honestly, It's very difficult for me to finished reading the books because you know when you don't have time and interest, you just feel - LOST.
So may I now present to you the books I had a chance to read.
Finale
by Becca Fitzpatrick
Will love conquer all?
Nora and Patch thought their troubles were behind them. Hank is gone and they should be able to put his ugly vendetta to rest. But in Hank's absence, Nora has become the unwitting head of the Nephilim and must finish what Hank began. Which ultimately means destroying the fallen angels - destroying Patch.
Finale is the last installment of the Hush Hush Series. This book tells the story between a human-turned Nephilim girl who fell in love to a Fallen Angel. I got addicted with this book last year and I waited for the released of the last book in year 2013. And while I am reading this book, whoa! Blast! Nice twist, nice story and of course Patch, the fallen angel and the main lead is deadly sexy and very ideal only that I hated Nora Grey's attitude throughout the story. She is somehow annoying and immature. Gosh! If not only to Patch's saving character, I would have turned this book down immediately.

by Cassandra Clare
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing -- not even a smear of blood -- to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
by Cassandra Clare
Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go — especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil — and also her father.
Mortal Instruments (Book 3) : City of Glass
by Cassandra Clare
To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters - never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and Simon has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight.
My friend recommended this series and first impression is not to like it because the story revolves around demons, downworlders, humans and shadowhunters. But you know what? This is the best Young Adult book I read so far. For me, this series is far better than Harry Potter Series (though I haven't read any of the books), because everything is in here; from the warlocks (other term for wizards and witches), fairies, vampires, werewolves, Nephilim, angels and of course the human race. Also, Cassandra Clare did a great job in creating a world of her own in this book. Honestly, I did enjoy the twist and the many trivias. While reading this book I have to google every single term to better understand the words, the history and to know if real or not. But this is AMAZING! Totally, amazing.
In fact, City of Bones have a movie-adaptation to be released this year in the month of August. As usual, I am excited as ever just like when I announced Hush Hush movie rights. Don't miss it! :)
How to Live a Life of Miracles
by Bo Sanchez
Lastly, this book is written by Bo Sanchez a Filipino preacher and lay minister and one of the best selling author of self-help and inspirational books in the Philippines.
Being a christian is difficult especially in times of troubles and this book will definitely help each and everyone of us carrying any burdens. This book made me realize that I should not stop asking and praying for the things I want to achieve and I want to gain in life. In fact, this book inspired me to pray and fast for a week - one meal a day only. I haven't got the answer yet in my prayers but I believe that evrything will come to pass. Ayt?
***********************************************************************************
So that's all for now and I got to go. Such a busy person I am! And I need to do something important for the rest of the week.
Hope you enjoy! Godbless. :)
