Review: Firelight by Sophie Jordan

(Click here for Synopsis)

Review:

I loved Firelight with a PASSION. I absolutely positively loved it. I'm all mushy inside just thinking about this book~ I had high expectations for this book and it did not fail to satisfy those expectations. The idea was very, very unique. I mean, have you ever heard of the heroine being a dragon? Not like those lame-ass vampires, this one is a dragon. (I am now resisting the urge to call them losers.) Jacinda has to be one of my favorite heroines of all time. I repeat: Of all time. I really loved the way Jacinda/Miss Jordan detailed everything. Like whenever Will would appear and Jacinda would feel herself manifesting, it's just amazing. I loved the way she had one of those total b*tch*s in her book; Brooklyn. Out of all the characters I hated Tamra the most. She would always blame her sister for everything just because she's jealous that Jacinda is more special than she is. I absolutely despise Tamra, throughout the whole book I just wanted to kill her. But her presence did not stop me from completely enjoying this book~ I also loved Will and Jacinda's relationship. The fact that she would try to ignore him but end up unable to stay away from that incredibly delish boy. *wink wink* I want my own Will. Like, NOW. There's something about his desperation and need for Jacinda that makes him incredibly sexy. Jacinda and Will's relationship was incredibly intense, as if they couldn't live without each other. It was very adorable and frustrating at the same time. The fact that Jacinda would always dodge will sort of pissed me off. But overall I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this book! I recommend people to read this SPECTACULARLY AMAZING book!!! The ending was sooo EVIL!!! I can't believe I have to wait until next year for VANISH! Hmph. Still I love this book~ You guys should check it out. :)

Teaser Tuesday (Oct.19)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

•Grab your current read

•Open to a random page

•Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

•Share the title & the author


Teasers:

'He stood in the doorway with his hands in his pockets, the picture of nonchalance, and even as a human, he was too gorgeous for words. His dark hair had been combed back, falling softly around his face, and his mercury eyes, though they should've seemed pale against all the white, glimmered more brightly than anything.'

Note: That was exactly 2 sentences. Heehee. :)) I'm not breaking any rules here~ Try and figure out who this gorgeous guy is~ *wink wink*

Note: What totally sucks is that my mom didn't have time to raked beautiful pictures of the books AND I was to lazy to make a vlog. Sooo... You'll have to live with pictures from the Internet. :)) I'm sure you'll survive.

Yes!!! Hell Week Is Over!!!

HELL WEEK IS FINALLY OVER!!!

Finally. It's over. The week we've been dreading every quarter. Is over and done with. *pants* Hell Week!!! Hell Week is basically our Periodical exams, where the whole all we do is stuff our heads in our books. Luck for us (Keila and I) we don't need to study. Yes, yes, we're slackers. We know. Since it's over I'd like to CONGRATULATE all those who've survived this insanely cruel week. :) Bravo! We should crack open a fresh bottle of wine and drink it like there's no tomorrow.
Well...

We would BUT we'll having regular classes again tomorrow. Crap. We're all about getting drunk! LOL
*sigh* And we still need to see if we ACTUALLY passed our tests. Just thinking about them makes me want to bawl! /(;_;)\
Well, whatever, the past is the past. (But please, please let US graduate...) Let us just hope I passed my tests and so did Keila, good luck to you! :)



Well... That's it! :D
Please enjoy this hilarious video while I ago wring my neck-- I mean cower in anticipation. Right~ :))
