Book Review For Backlist Revival Tour: “Cities” by Carla De Guzman

Title: Cities

Author: Carla De Guzman

Description:

Celia has dreams.
She dreams of going to Seoul for that scholarship she never took, of leaving everything behind and moving to New York.
In all those dreams, she finds herself attached to Benedict, the boy she has always loved, who didn’t love her back.

Ben believes in parallel worlds.
Worlds where the things you didn’t do come true—worlds where he went to London and fell in love with Celia, where he shows up on the day she needed him most. He believes that dreams are glimpses into that parallel world, and it’s not a coincidence that Celia’s been having them too.

It’s the day of Ben’s wedding, in the middle of a typhoon in Manila. How will these dreams and unmade decisions change their lives? Will they bring them closer together, or just drive them further apart?

“Majesty” by Jay E. Tria

What would you do if the ghost of someone you love appeared in front of you?

Majesty is a beautiful ghost, with her hair of fire and eyes gray like smoke. That was Andy Fey’s first thought when the ghost of her best friend Majesty Hall appeared in her bedroom, only two months since her death. Majesty doesn’t know why she’s there, why only Andy can see her.

Andy wasn’t sure if she could tell Gale, that boy who claims that he and Majesty were in love. Funny, sarcastic, and a self-proclaimed serial heartbreaker, Gale is proving to be a good friend in grief, though his trail of broken hearts could soon include hers.

As Andy and Gale wade through their sorrow, Andy wonders if Majesty is here to help ease her into this new, complicated friendship, or if she has a mission all her own.

Decision

Okay, so I ended up deciding on something with regards to “The Last Sky Of The Earth” trilogy. Of course, itutuloy ko pa rin iyon. Pero pansin ko lang, major editing yata ang mangyayari doon. I might focus on three POVs only (Seiichi, Kourin, and Raiden) kapag itinuloy ko ang desisyon kong i-overhaul iyon. Matrabaho, oo. Pero kung gusto ko talagang matapos iyon, kailangan kong gawin. The story will be told in those three characters’ perception. I might even write it in 1st person POV.

For now, I decided to unpublish it from Wattpad. It’s still there. I just want to write it the way that it won’t be hard for me. Ayokong iwan ang story na ito dahil lang hindi ko magawang i-update nang maayos.

Blog Tour: “Songs To Get Over You” by Jay E. Tria [Review + Giveaway]

Title: Songs To Get Over You (Playlist #2)

Author: Jay E. Tria

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 29, 2016

Source: ARC provided in exchange for an honest review

Description:

It's harder to get over someone who was never really yours.

They say rock stars get all the girls. But Miki knows that's not always true. He, for one, though the guitarist of popular indie band Trainman, just can't seem to get the girl. It's kind of his fault, really. No one told him to fall in love with Jill. No one told him to stand still and watch as she moved on from a terrible breakup into the arms of another guy—a Japanese celebrity with the face of an angel and the body of a god.

So when someone else comes along, someone who finds him cute, smart, and funny (sometimes in the haha sort of way), will Miki finally move on? Or will he continue to pine for Jill?
