Fingers crossed I finally finish this book today. :D

Mare keeps on emphasizing how Maven is unlike his bitchy mother, and I can't help but think, "If you only knew, little lightning girl." xD

Waiting for betrayal to happen is kinda fun.

This is most likely the longest contemporary novel in my collection. xD

Seriously, so many of these dudes could be the real Legend. askdhaksdhkashdkas

I know you don't want to believe me, but Caraval is more than just a game this time.

Hahaha I still don't trust any of the characters. Caraval is just a game, right? lol

By the time they entered London, Harry, Ron and Hermione were all severely scratched.

Hahaha, oh how I love you, Crookshanks. <3 I would've loved you more if you had killed Wormtail. xD

I'm not sure about the way this book makes me feel. :p

I hate it when Draco verbally attacks Hermione. Stop it, please.

Even though I know what Maven's gonna do, I still want him to end up with Mare. Haha.

You can always count on diverse books like this to make you feel represented. :)

When she lowers her gun, slowly but surely, I let go of a breath I didn't realize I was holding in.

Oh my, it's the dreaded cliche.

After reading Caraval, I find it hard to trust any of the characters. #Scarred

Giving 10 years of your life to a near stranger seems stupid, Jules. xD

It seems that Filipino main characters are becoming a trend. :D

My mother. Is literally. A bird.

I don't know why, but this melancholic book is making me laugh.

Dear Mare,

Please trust your gut when it says that you shouldn't trust Maven because he seems to be hiding something. :p

Apparently, someone has been selling ARCs of this book on eBay. A copy costs around $70. Like...what the heck.

In the fairy tales, the poor girl smiles when she becomes a princess. Right now, I don't know if I'll ever smile again.

Mare is being emo. xD

Seriously, how can you expect Adam Silvera's They Both Die in the End to have a happy ending? #JustSayin

Is Clara being a racist when she says (more than once) that her Chinese crush looks like a Labrador? xD

Our father wins if we keep living as if we're still trapped beneath his heavy fists.

Nicely said, Tella. :)

Queenstrial is like the Selection but with much less drama. XD

There's definitely more to Liam than meets the eye. :3

I suspect that a Red Queen, sibling-related plot twist is gonna happen.

One cannot help but admire Darrow's intelligence. :D

It's funny how the authors suddenly interrupt the narrative to talk to their readers. Reminds me of Lemony Snicket. xD

These descriptions of Korean food are making me hungry. :3

People were always confused by my Dad's Korean face and Portuguese-accented English. It helped with the ladies, though, which was gross.

I'm noticing a lot of girl hate. So far, Clara has nothing but negative things to say about her fellow females. :p

Happy Valentine's Day! If you're single like me, have fun dating your fictional boyfriend or girlfriend. Hahaha. In a way, booknerds are never single. xD
