Book Review: Every Soul a Star by Wendy Mass
Rating: **** (4/5 stars)

 So the story is that Bree, a co-leader of an A-clique in her school, a gorgeous one and on her way to modelling career faced a biggest change in her life. Her family (parents; are scientists, little sister; geeky) have been planning to move to Moon Shadow, a campground where stargazers, eclipse chaser go. They will be running the camp for a few years which means she have to bid goodbye to her life in the city and say hello to the woods and homeschooling. Then there is Ally. An expert in astronomy, own a meteorite (true meteorite!) necklace and has never watch a movie and television. Their family owns the Moon Shadow since forever and they have to hand it over to Bree's family because her father need to work in Chicago and their parents decided that it's time for them to experience the civilization. And of course, there's Jack. An overweight boy with the talent of drawing and lucid dreaming. He felt better alone by himself and there comes an opportunity that would also change his life. He's going to join the camp for Eclipse chaser, stay over in the Moon Shadow campground for two weeks and assist his Science teacher in his experiment. The stars, the campground, the telescope, the exoplanet and the solar eclipse. And there comes a discovery that they will never forget.

This book was so nice that I even wanted to have a simple adventure in the Moon Shadow camp. Wendy Mass never failed to have fantastic description during the Solar Eclipse. If this could be repeated every day for a year, I would never budge from where I stood and that I feel the same too. I don't know how come a little children (the main characters) like them used to know many things and already having the time of their life. True enough, Science is interesting. Astronomy is wonderful and there are more beautiful things in life that so we thought are just simple but actually are grandiose! I can't say anything anymore but this book was really nice no, it's really great. Kudos Wendy Mass! Please do have a sequel for this book!

I remember, we were just talking about head transplant during psychology class - the possibility of it and the harm it might bring to the people who will be under this operation. There was also one dystopian series that I have read written by Neal Shusterman wherein the society are more invested into developing transplants instead of medicine. They call the process as Unwinding - a bill that suggests deviant teenagers may undergo the said process wherein they donate their body parts and organ (as in everything) in certain people or in an organ bank. Well, that was scary. Anyway, here's the article about the current and will be first ever head transplant:

You ruin your life by tolerating it. At the end of the day you should be excited to be alive. When you settle for anything less than what you innately desire,  you destroy the possibility that lives inside of you, and in that way you cheat both yourself and the world of your potential. The next Michelangelo could be sitting behind a Macbook right now writing an invoice for paperclips, because it pays the bills, or because it is comfortable, or because he can tolerate it. Do not let this happen to you. Do not ruin your life this way. Life and work, and life and love, are not irrespective of each other. They are intrinsically linked. We have to strive to do extraordinary work, we have to strive to find extraordinary love. Only then will we tap into an extraordinarily blissful life." —Bianca Sparacino, How To Ruin Your Life (Without Even Noticing That You Are)  ‪#‎ TodaysMantra‬

Book Review: Past Heaven by Laura Ward Rating: **** (4/5 stars) "The idea is that once you really love someone, and I mean the kind of love that fills you up from head to toe, it never leaves you. A love like that surrounds you, always. Time, distance, and even death can't end it. That love is Past Heaven."   “The power of love is both inescapable and infinite.”   Elizabeth Atwater was there when her loving husband was murdered during the most important night of his life. The heroic Jack Atwater was shot right in front of her eyes and it breaks her, tear her apart and makes life difficult to live. Without him, how will she ever live normal again, without him, what will happen to their 3 bright boys and his lifelong legacy. But so they say, their love was past heaven. She needs to continue living for their 3 children. With the help of her family and friend Cindy, she'll survive. Reynolds Carter is one of the most sexiest man in Hollywood. In his 40 years of a...
