Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

I am done reading Banished and I can't wait to read the next book, Unforsaken.

Yesterday, me and my block mates had manito-manita at Parkmall. And then, I got this book as a Christmas gift from a close friend, Chin. I'm so thankful to have a kind of friend like her! This book is Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. I am currently in Chapter 6 already. So here's some infos about this book.

"You can't touch me," I whisper. I'm lying, is what I don't tell him. He can touch me, is what I'll never tell him. But things happen when people touch me. Strange things. Bad things. No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal, but The Reestablishment has plans for her. Plans to use her as a weapon. But Juliette has plans of her own. After a lifetime without freedom, she's finally discovering a strength to fight back for the very first time—and to find a future with the one boy she thought she'd lost forever.

I know this is interesting and I can't wait to finish reading this! Thank you so much, Chin! Merry Christmas! :)

Spellbound by Cara Lynn Shultz

Yesterday, I bought the book Banished at Natio. I was suppose to read Spellbound but sad thing is, Fully Booked got out of stock of Spellbound (its do depressing. I really wanted to read this) I found a lot of good reviews about this book, one thing that I like about reading this. It's okay though, I already signed for a reservation for this book if the stocks arrive.

What’s a girl to do when meeting The One means she’s cursed to die a horrible death?

Life hasn’t been easy on sixteen-year-old Emma Conner, so a new start in New York may be just the change she needs. But the posh Upper East Side prep school she has to attend? Not so much. Friendly faces are few and far between, except for one that she’s irresistibly drawn to—Brendan Salinger, the guy with the rock-star good looks and the richest kid in school, who might just be her very own white knight.

But even when Brendan inexplicably turns cold, Emma can’t stop staring. Ever since she laid eyes on him, strange things have been happening. Streetlamps go out wherever she walks, and Emma’s been having the oddest dreams. Visions of herself in past lives—visions that warn her to stay away from Brendan. Or else.

I can't wait to have this book!!!

The Name of this Book is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch

Oh hi! I just bought a book from National Book Store that I really wanted to buy, "The Name of this Book is Secret". This book caught my attention because of the cover and the title. Yes, its weird, because this is a story about a secret but it also contains a secret story. This book is for young readers (or in other words for children) but I don't care because  I find it interesting..

Let me show you the cover --

Plot: (From Wikipedia)

 The story starts when real-estate agent for the dead named Gloria finds a mysterious box in a magician's house called, The Symphony of Smells, and gives it to Cass and her substitute grandfathers. Cass is an outcast misfit in her school until she stumbles across another misfit, Max-Ernest, who talks too much and has divorced parents but whom are still living in the same house.

Cass and Max-Ernest become collaborators and investigate the dead magician's - Pietro Bergamo - house only to get caught by a young couple; but not before they find a mysterious journal hidden in a secret room.Later the couple comes to their school looking for them but find a synesthete boy named Benjamin Blake after they examine a piece of art painted by him on display in the school. After initially loathing him, Cass decides its her job to save him. However, during this time, Cass and Max-Ernest stop being collaborators because of a petty issue.After leafing through some spa brochures collected by her mother, Cass decides to pose as one of the Skelton Sisters, a lip gloss company, and calls The Midnight Sun spa to pick her up in a limousine. As the driver pulled into the spa, she told her that The Midnight Sun spa is said to be a pyramid with a "gleaming orb of light at the summit".While being escorted to her suite, she spots Gloria in a younger form lounging about a pool. Gloria is oblivious to the truth and is enjoying her stay.Cass then meets Owen, a stuttering servant who sets up her room and tries to make her comfortable. Cass finds Owen the most likable out of all those at the spa.Later that night Owen comes into Cass's room, speaking with a strange accent and no stutter, a notable characteristic he had when she last met him. Max-Ernest and Cass reunite as Owen leaves to go about some business and they discover that the goal of the Midnight Sun is to achieve eternal youth. The duo save Benjamin and a fire breaks out, but before it is implied that Ms. Mauvais' conspirator Dr. L is Pietro Bergamo's brother Luciano.Owen meets up with Max-Ernest, Cass and Benjamin and they all speed away from the spa in the limousine as the light from the orb atop the pyramid dims and eventually goes out. Along the way home the limo nearly crashes into a truck. When the driver exits the vehicle, he is found to be Grandpa Larry and his dog looking for Cass.Owen sets off on his own in the limo while Benjamin, Cass, and Max-Ernest drive home with Grandpa Larry. Cass and Max-Ernest become collaborators again shortly before the end.

Well, I didn't read the plot though. I am on Chapter one and a half of the book already (lol) haha, so im starting to focus in reading this book so that  I could finish it early. I found a new book, Bleed by Laurie Faria Stolarz and i'm going to buy it maybe next week.
