Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert | Book Review

READ THIS IF…

  • You’re in the mood to read an adult fiction with explicit sexual content
  • You’re into awkward dirty talks and cringey e-mail exchanges

QUICK AND TAMAD SUMMARY

This is a romance novel na may halong erotica. It’s about a rich girl (Chloe) na nagkaron ng near death experience so naisip nyang gumawa ng bucket list kasi feeling nya ang boring ng buhay nya. Sample nung items na nasa checklist nya ay ‘Go camping’, ‘Have meaningless sex’, and ‘Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage’. Enter this guy (Red, an artist) na tutulong sa kanyang ma-accomplish yung list nya.

Ang misleading ng book cover and blurb. Kala ko sweet and romantic yung story. Na may konting adventure kasi ang interesting nung list nya. Well, adventure nga naman kaso sexual adventure pala.

Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid | Book Review

READ THIS IF YOU…

  • Want to read about a fictional rock band in the 70s
  • Enjoy drugs and having sex with strangers (or reading about it)
  • Want to be annoyed especially dun sa lead characters

Hindi ko pa nababasa yung Twilight pero sabi nung classmate ko noon, yung buong book daw halos ay si Bella Swan na paulit-ulit sinasabi kung gano kagwapo and ka-amazing si Edward Cullen. Dito sa book na ‘to, siguro 75% yung paulit-ulit na sinasabi kung gano kaganda, kasexy, katalented at amazing si Daisy Jones.

And as much as a lot of people praised the audiobook kasi well narrated daw and multiple people yung narrators, ako naman, yun yung pinaka naturn off ako. Kasi it’s as if the characters didn’t mature. Yung stories na kinekwento nila happened decades ago so I’m expecting na nagmature naman sila somehow. But the dialogue plus how it was narrated felt like their still in their teens. Parang sobrang pa-cool pa din nila lahat.

Modern Love edited by Daniel Jones | Book Review

Ang complete title nya ay Modern Love: True Stories of Love, Loss, and Redemption. It’s a collection of love stories and based from the complete title, hindi lahat ng stories happy ending. Dun sa introduction part nagustuhan ko how the editor described love.

Kakatapos lang ng book club discussion namin kahapon about this book at naging makabagbag-damdamin ang naging usapan kasi nag-share din yung ibang members ng heartfelt stories nila. Sinimulan namin yung discussion sa favorite stories namin dun sa book. Eto yung sakin (in no particular order):

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen | Book Review

My 6th book this month! Super duper proud of myself. Ngayon lang ‘to nangyari.

Yay tapos ko na! Kala ko hindi ko matatapos kasi first classic novel ko ‘to and super hindi ako sanay sa writing style (1813 sya na-publish). Hindi ko pa din napapanood yung movie nung sinimulan ko so nahirapan talaga ko kasi wala akong idea. Nung sinimulan ko, feeling ko hindi kaya ng comprehension ko yung mga ganito. Nakaka-intimidate. Kaya rin hindi ako mahilig magbasa ng classics.

Pero nag-attempt pa din ako kasi highly recommended sya ng mga members ng book club namin. The first 20% is a struggle. Ang hirap talaga i-absorb for me. Pero unti-unti syang nagiging interesting and na-overpower nung plot yung writing style.

QUICK AND TAMAD SUMMARY:

Merong 5 sisters at ang bida ay si Elizabeth Bennet. Ang one and only goal ng nanay nila ay maikasal ang mga anak nya sa matitinong mga lalake. Super plus points kung mayaman. And given the time period, I wouldn’t blamer her. In the process of finding suitable partners for her daughters, na-meet ni Elizabeth si Mr. Darcy. Good looking and mayaman si Mr. Darcy but Elizabeth hated his guts.

Nung around 80% na ko, pinanood ko yung movie pero hanggang dun lang sa parts na nabasa ko na.
