Book Reviews: Driven and Fueled (Driven Trilogy) by K. Bromberg

Image
Okay, guys!! It's my official first post post-SPM. This time, I would like to talk about the two books I've read a day before my Physics test. It was damn good, people. (Well, depend on some people of course). I lost a couple of night sleep because of this book. In fact, I skipped studying for my test for this book. I just got addicted, you know. I was like, '5 more minutes'. Then after 5 minutes, I would say 'just until the clock strikes 4 am. Then I was like, 'damn, the story is good. 5 more minutes.' This cycle moved on until it was like 2 hours away from me entering the examination hall. It was that freaking addicting.          I found this book by chances but I do know that it got a high rating on Goodreads. So, I just read ahead without looking at the reviews. And I have never regretted that. Despite all the smashing-my-head-into-the-pillow-groaning-in-frustration when both of the stories ended with I-cannot-believe-it-ended-just-like-that kind of cl...

Freedom Is Finally Here! SPM IS NO MORE!

Image
Oh gosh. I have never thought I will get through this. But I did. And I still can't believe it.  I'm finally done with school! I am no longer a student! I'm a free being! Gosh!!!         I have no idea what to do now. No. That's wrong. I have no idea what thing to do first. Oh right. Sleep. Yeah, I need sleep. I've been sleep deprived for the last couple of days. A long sleep is what I need right now. Then, I want to improve my other blog. I've neglected it for far too long. It's time for my time to start moving again. I can wait to LIVE again!!          One last gif before I leave, Will be back for more, Liely

One More Day Away From My Freedom

Hey guys. Today, I will have my last paper for SPM. It's BIOLOGY! After that, I will be a free girl. Then, I will put a review on every book I've read this year. Damn, I can't wait.         Oh and, I found and finished two amazing books yesterday. I can't wait to talk about them.             I have three to four months doing nothing after this. I want to make a promise to myself this time. I will try to make every day of my life significant and I will share it to you guys. I will try to lose some of my weight, find some money, go traveling, meet interesting people and be more open to others.          I promise. Tightening Up Loose Ends, Liely

Book Reviews: Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

Image
Okay, peeps. I just finished read this book like a few seconds ago, so some of my word here might've been pretty raw. Seriously, I don't know what the hell I will say in here. So, we'll see.         I've pushed Beautiful Disaster for awhile now. I was actually still looking for some romantic comedy but I don't know what ticked me off to read this particular book. It got a high rating in Goodread, so I decided why not try reading it. SPOILER ALERT! INTENSE. DANGEROUS. ADDICTIVE. Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand. Travis Maddox , lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants—and needs—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a fl...

Book Reviews: Ten Tiny Breaths and One Tiny Lie by K.A. Tucker

Image
So, here's another review from me. And this time, I want to talk about two books that had grabbed my attention awhile ago. I might've forgotten some of the story plot but I'll write what I can remember from it now.           Ten Tiny Breaths and One Tiny Lie are connected series. I accidentally read the second book, One Tiny Lie first because I didn't know it has a first book. But, it didn't reveal a lot of spoilers (thank God for that). By the way, I'm going to drop a major SPOILER down here. Don't read them if you haven't read them yet. Kacey Cleary ’s whole life imploded four years ago in a drunk-driving accident. Now she’s working hard to bury the pieces left behind—all but one. Her little sister, Livie. Kacey can swallow the constant disapproval from her born-again aunt Darla over her self-destructive lifestyle; she can stop herself from going kick-boxer crazy on Uncle Raymond when he loses the girls’ college funds at a blackjack table. She...

Book Reviews: Wait For You by J. Lynn

Image
Hey there again! Today I had Mathematics paper in my SPM. Paper 1 was quite easy but Paper 2 was quite tough. But, I think I did well. Now, the problem is Additional Mathematics. What a big problem that is...         Anyway, that is not what I want to talk about today. Lately, I always filled my times with reading and I want to tell everything that I'd learnt in the book I've read. So for today, I want to talk about a novel that I've read quite some times ago and it completely took my breath away.          I read WAIT FOR YOU during the last Eid Ul-Fitr. Again, I took a chance when I read this novel without even checking out the general reviews. Some things are worth waiting for… Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago—an event that forever changed her life. All she needs to do is make it to her classes ...

Book Reviews: The Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Image
Okay. Here I am for the next review. The Lux Series actually is a five novels series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. She is actually one of my favourite authors, other than Alice Clayton and E.L. James. This series, as I said, contains five novels, which is Obsidian , Onyx , Opal , Origin and Opposition . By the way, I love the titles and how it actually means a lot in the respective book.           I found it a couple of months ago and after I read the first book, I just treated it like ' Okay, mhmm.. It's okay .' But after I read the next book and the next book, I got addicted. It is actually a very nice series, you know. Anyhow, let's move on with the review. Obsidian 'Starting over sucks. When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring.... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up. ...

Book Review: When It Rains by Lisa De Jong

Image
Hi people! I'm back for one review ( or maybe two ). I couldn't miss writing this down. Believe me when I say that this story deserve your time. I'm not kidding, people. Pay attention. By the way, SPOILER ALERTS!          So if I wasn't mistaken, I finished this story a few weeks ago. I found it randomly. I just roamed around and I found this story. Before I read this story, I had no idea what this story is about. I had completely no idea. I was like being blindfolded and pushed myself to read it. I don't know what to expect, you know. Usually, I would at least check other people reviews before jumping into the water but this time, I refrained myself.         'One night changed my life forever. Beau Bennett has been my best friend since I can remember. He was my first crush before everything came crashing down, and now he wants more, but it's more than I can give him. Things are different now. I wish I could tell him why, but I can't....

Feeling Melancholy

Yes, people... I'm sad. Reason? Seeing someone I once loved happy. Am I selfish then?           You know, there are reasons why I hate social networks sometimes. It kinda reminds you that world moves on although you're stuck in time. *sigh*  I feel like I just lost something important and I will never get it back. It was right in my hand and now I lost it forever. The problem is I was the one who let it go. Due to my stupid pride. So, listen people. Never let your pride gets in your way. Pride is nothing actually but emptiness. How I wish I realize that sooner.            Can someone lives alone for their entire life? I'm trying to experiment that. Melancholic Girl, Liely P.S. Thanks Bob.

Currently In My SPM, The History Between Novels And Me

Yes, people! I'm in my biggest examination of my life right now. SPM is ongoing. This morning, I had Malay Language papers and tomorrow would be English Language paper. To compare the kind of feeling I had when I was getting ready for Malay Language and English Language, I think I am more confident in English. You just can't predict the type of question that would be asked in Malay Language papers because it has a wider scope than English (plus, Malay literature is tough as hell).           I can't wait to go back to my blogging world. I have to say that I managed to break many rules when I was preparing for this exam. I can still finish a novel yesterday. Oh, I can't wait to put up all the reviews of the books that I've read so far. You know what, I just realized that I can be A TRUE BOOK ADDICT you know. It reminds myself when I was into Japanese manga last year. I couldn't put them at all. At the end of the obsession, I managed to read more than 1200 mangas...
