Book Review: The Infinite Sea (The Fifth Wave, #2) by Rick Yancey
Rating: ***** (5/5 stars)

Gahd that twist!!!!!! Like....what the actual fuck??!

As a start, I really love this series. The biggest reason is that it has the bad ass kids with their bravery and hope and love and astounding character development and even in their worst moments, they still are positive (though their vulnerability is just visible well yeah of course because of their situation) and let their humor stand out. I mean, there are dangers for them everywhere and I know it but still, they never failed to make me laugh. I just love it when Yancey builds his characters so wonderfully but not superficial and not that so good to be true (well maybe except Evan). I mean, wow. I love Cassie, Evan (oh gahd, Evannn!!!), Ben (*wink*), Ringer, Dumbo (Dubuque!!!), Sam, Razor, etc. The story doesn't center Evan and Cassie anymore though there are more of them here but mostly, it is all of the characters in the book- trying to survive and discovering more about their situation. I for one feels hopeless for them, sometimes confused, outraged and creeped out (the hell those creepy parts) but these characters lift me up and put me into a lot of adrenaline rush. It's their spirits that lights up my hopelessness. Though I am more of upbeat and shaky (with adrenaline) while reading the first book, still, this book is just remarkable. I'm just kind of bored with the first part, reading Ringer's side of the story but I got used to her voice and character that I just started to love her. And Razor...

*SPOILERS AHEAD* #warning

What the hell RAZOR?! What did you just do?? I was actually (little bit) hoping that you're also one of them so that even you were fucking shot, you can still be crawling out alive. BUT WHY THE HELL YOU LET YOURSELF KILLED??! YOU WERE LIKE A COOL GUY Y'KNOW. BUT WHATEVER. The thing about it, I am sure that Ringer will be a lot stronger now and the hell, she might even stop the apocalypse and help Evan and Cassie (or not?). And Evan, I SO LOVE YOU even though sometimes it feels like you're just so good to be true. Evan's love for his "Mayfly" is so touching and his strong desire to be human just Cassie is so heart-melting. AND YOU"RE ALIVEEE! ALLELUIAH! And I have to commend Ben for everything, don't worry Ben, Ringer's coming. I just love this series. Good job Mr. Rick Yancey!

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.

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...
