Book Quest: Summer Secrets by Barbara Freethy

Summer Secrets by Barbara Freethy

    I bought this book when I was in my senior year. If it was not for our book review assignment, I won't be able to read any novel except Hush, Hush. Thanks to my teacher, though.

   It is a family story about the McKenna Sisters and their father, Duncan McKenna . They won the annual Castleton Sailboat Race eight years ago. But behind that journey towards to fame, a secrets lies…

   Taylor Jamison will run over the lives of the McKenna family to unveil their secret. But above all, he came for the reason that will change his life forever…

My rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Here's the reviews from the http://www.barbarafreethy.com/products/summer1/

“Freethy skillfully keeps the reader on the hook, and her tantalizing and believable tale has it all– romance, adventure, and mystery.” Booklist

“Freethy’s zesty storytelling will keep readers hooked, and the sisters’ loving but prickly interactions will make anyone with a sibling smile.” Publisher’s Weekly

“SUMMER SECRETS is a knock-your-socks-off tale of deception, family, and love. Master storyteller Barbara Freethy draws readers into the characters’ lives on the first page and keeps them engrossed and enthralled to the end. This riveting tale of love and forgiveness, of letting go and beginning anew will resonate in readers’ hearts long after the last page is turned.” Romance Reviews Today

Love Charms: Is it real or just another crush?

"Love is in the air!"Oh wait..is it real? Or just another infatuation?  How to know if you're really in love? Check this out! :D

      I am a self-confessed romantic girl. Always believes in destiny.  Since I don't want to have a boyfriend yet, I just settled myself in having friends or crushing someone. But as the feeling begins, it's really hard to know if you're in love or infatuated, since they have almost the same effect on a person.  When you're in love the feeling takes time to develop, while a crush doesn't. Well let's say you have met this person for the first time. You might say you got "love struck" the first time you met, but as you see and know this person, the feelings get deeper that when you try to detach, it would be hard for you that crying is the least thing you can do. While infatuation gets the feeling instantly, and doesn't affect you much if it loses.

      Being in love takes a greater part of you that being infatuated. But that doesn't mean that you spend a lot of time stalking while your class is on(*laughs* did it sometimes haha!) or trying very hard to know his cell phone number or address! When you're in love you  tend to spend sometime improving a part of you that he likes. And just one hint of something will remind you of him. And you develop this kind of 'strange' feeling in your heart every time you have a glimpse of him, this feeling lingers.

    You take care of the one you love, while just concerned with your crush. Cooking his fave dish, or making sure he brings his umbrella for him not to get wet on a rainy season. On the other hand, you are just checking him out after he got sick for forgetting his umbrella.

    Most of all, being in love must make you feel better and happier. It must not lead you to low grades or irresponsibility, instead it will make you a whole lot more beautiful.

Love Charms: Single? Not a Problem!

     I am a proud Single Gal for....years :D . I can say that I am really proud of my relationship status; no boyfriend,no commitments, no hassle. Time and money saver.In fact, there's a deal between us girls that whoever will have a boyfriend should treat us!! haha! :D

      I also experienced being peer pressured. Even those I didn't expect to enter a relationship,had a boyfriend, did some PDAs and broke-up and find someone else *sighs*. During that time I feel so ugly because no one seems to notice me. I tried to dress up that time just for them to see I am beautiful, but then I only realized I was fake. I am just looking for someone to see the beauty in me, not a boyfriend. Soon I've realized that I have friends that love me and make me feel beautiful inside-out. And considering my age, I am not yet ready to have a commitment. Well, studies first right? It is now being paid off. I am now studying in one of the most prestigious universities in the country. Aside from that, I am still happy with my life.

      On the other hand, if you are on the right age and still think you don't attract boys, well don't freak out girl! Sooner or later you'll find the one for you. So while you are waiting for your Price Charming to arrive, remember to CREATE A PERFECT YOU. Make yourself a fully grown woman, perfectly, for you. Set goals for yourself like finishing studies and/or having a stable job. That would be an investment that you'll gonna call ASSETS.  Beautifully carve your body to the shape you want or learn how to play an instrument. But most especially make the very BEST of YOU, not of someone else's. Remember, the personality is what guys see and what they really look for if they want a real commitment.

Being Single? No problem,actually! :D

Lots of Love Charms,
Snowflake Girl

Book Quest: Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick

 Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

A friend introduced this book to me about a year ago and I really regretted why I didn't open it right away!!

    From wizards to vampires and werewolves ( I really liked HP series), here's a new twist of young adult fictional novel.
    

     Hush, Hush is a book about a teen-age girl named Nora who fell in love with Patch, a fallen angel.  She knows there is something mysterious about Patch, she is trying to know. But her involvement to him just caused her too many danger, even the danger of falling in love with him.

My rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

  I was really amazed by the twist in the story. In fact, I look so stunned when I'd finished the book.
