Maria, sa iyo ko nga po nalaman yan eh! haha! kaya I grab it when i saw it sa bookstore! hehe!
Maganda 'yang Blood Red Road! One of the best YA dystopias I've read, so far. Enjoy the book! ^_^
There are seven books in the series A Song of Ice and Fire. OMG. All thick. Whew! Veneficus really? Now im really being curious to it!! Is it like THG? Far more better or less?
I'm now afraid of comparing a book. :D
I agree but sometimes can't stop to rely on comparing books, so I will know if it's good or not great. But the disadvantage of it is you don't have to get to try the book AND people have different tastes.
"Lamang ng ilang paligo" ang THG siyempre. Hehe. Pero 'di ka magsisisi sa BRR kapag binasa mo na. Uh, may pagkakahawig sila ng THG, and if you know the The Knife of Never Letting Go, 'yun, parang ganoon ang BRR. :DTeka, is it true that George R. R. Martin won't continue writing the last two books of ASoIaF? I just read it somewhere. 'di Ko lang maalala kung saan.
Heard of the The Knife of Never Letting Go but never tried it, kasi diba parang survival din ung BRR same as THG, so siguro maganda yoon as u said it is!What?!! Di nga? Ano yon! Tinamad na siyang ituloy? haha! well far from the 5th book pa naman ako! Pero sayang naman kung di niya ituloy. Baka chismis lang yan hehe.
Rad Ryan: Yes. I can't stop myself, too. :D But people have different tastes as you said and it suggests that people might like more either of the book they choose. :DVeneficus: Yes. Kinda cross my mind about that two books. :) THG and TKoNLG.
Yesterday it was Eye of The Tempest by Nicole Peeler. I lost interest midway through the book.I was stuck in a rut. I started reading discovery of witches instead. Just the change of prose and writing approach made a huge difference! I'm on a roll again :) happy reading everyone!
Unang Ulan ng Mayo by Ellen Sicat :D thanks KD for the copy!

From wiki, the article said there that there is already a 100 page na from The Winds of Winter. Baka itutuloy niya pa rin.
I'm currently reading Something Borrowedby Emily GiffinI could totally relate to it!!! I mean, not the sleep-with-my-best-friend's-fiance part. It's just that it perfectly describes my relationship with my best friend. She really does take advantage of everything and she's really flirtatious and she takes almost everything from me. I don't hate her that much but I just realized that because of this book. She's as mean as I made her sound. I'm pretty used to. Sorry ahahaha!! I just wanna let it all out. Sorry!!!!!
Unfortunately, I missed the movie :(

moohahaha! I should read that book :D I actually had a best friend who stole my ex-bf. Haha! I should write a novel, too? LOL anyway, just forgive and forget, that's the only thing we have to do :)
@Ruth, read that book, kinda meh for me... :DGiffin had those parts that she just tries so hard to make you laugh but it doesn't work out. It's still a beautiful book though. The best part was when they're discussing a case with a terror prof in their law years.
wow, Tricia - some best friend you have huh? parang telenovela lang!

Currently Reading: City of Glass by Cassandra Clare. :)
like i said previously when comparing THG to Divergent, it's unfair since trilogy ang THG, at book 1 pa lang ang Divergent - the same thing also applies to Blood Red Road being compared to THG.The Knife of Never Letting Go is way creepier and more gripping than Blood Red Road. Mas realistic ang The Knife kaya mas nakakatakot. not to mention hindi skilled in fighting ang hero sa The Knife compared to the heroine of BRR, kaya mas scary :)
just my two cents!
