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!!!

Banished by Sophie Littlefield

Hello everyone! Long time no post! I just wanted to share what i'm into right now -- reading books. I'm currently reading Sophie Littlefield's Banished. Im still half a way. I chose to read this because of its story, I really got a thing for immortals, super powers, past lives and etc. stories.

There isn’t much worth living for in Gypsum, Missouri—or Trashtown, as the rich kids call the run-down neighborhood where sixteen-year-old Hailey Tarbell lives. Hailey figures she’ll never belong—not with the popular kids at school, not with the rejects, not even with her cruel, sickly grandmother, who deals drugs out of their basement. Hailey never knew her dead mother, and she has no idea who her father was, but at least she has her four-year-old foster brother, Chub. Once she turns eighteen, Hailey plans to take Chub far from Gypsum and start a new life where no one can find them.

But when a classmate is injured in gym class, Hailey discovers a gift for healing that she never knew she possessed—and that she cannot ignore. Not only can she heal, she can bring the dying back to life. Confused by her powers, Hailey searches for answers but finds only more questions, until a mysterious visitor shows up at Gram’s house, claiming to be Hailey’s aunt Prairie.

There are people who will stop at nothing to keep Hailey in Trashtown, living out a legacy of despair and suffering. But when Prairie saves both Hailey and Chub from armed attackers who invade Gram’s house in the middle of the night, Hailey must decide where to place her trust. Will Prairie’s past, and the long-buried secret that caused her to leave Gypsum years earlier, ruin them all? Because as Hailey will soon find out, their power to heal is just the beginning.

This gripping novel from thriller writer Sophie Littlefield blazes a trail from small-town Missouri to the big city as Hailey battles an evil greater than she ever imagined, while discovering strengths she never knew she had.
Maybe, i'll finish this week. Hopefully!

Happy Halloween!

Last Friday, my friends and I decided to throw a Halloween Party at Dayme's. So here, we got these Halloween props, which we used to feel Halloween. HAHAHA, and there, we brought some snacks and drinks to enjoy the night. I wore a black chuva (idk what to call it) and I hated it, my skin looked so dirty after I stripped it. UGH, It made me feel BV!

So here are the photos we got (From Dayme's camera)

My gorgeous friend, Achaia.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I really had fun during that night. Thanks to my friends! I love them! Though there are some who wasn't able to come because they went somewhere with their family and some didn't get the chance to get their parent's 'YES'. K, so that's all! Happy Halloween everyone! :)
