Book Review: Bakit Hindi ka Crush ng Crush Mo by Ramon Bautista Rating: **** (4/5 stars) "Your mind is your weapon.

He is known in his formspring, twitter and tumblr account and with his witty answers and opinions he always share, he gained more and more fans and lovers. And of course! He is intelligent; graduated from UP and and now, teaching in the said University. This book -written by the handsome guy- simply shows how we should face silly problems with the reality itself.

Book Review: The Ghost and the Goth (The Ghost and the Goth, #1) Rating: *** (3/5 stars) This book showed an entertaining theory of afterlife with a twist of romance and adventure (so-so). So with the Goth, William who can see the dead or so-called a ghost talker and the popular girl, Alona who died because of the "stupid" school bus who hit her, hard.

So two of them teamed up. Alona became his spirit guide so the ghost who wants Will's attention and help must go through her first. They fell in love with each other. Then Alona realized what she needs to do with her still existing spirit, forgive her Mom and then suddenly the light ignited, warming her and trying to ma...

Book Review: Something Blue by Emily Griffin Rating: **** (4/5 stars) I settled with Something Blue along my boredom. Since I already watched Something Borrowed, I can catch up a little on the first part of the book. Then I realized that even though I haven’t read it yet or watch it, I can still understand the plot and what is the narrator telling.
