The story basically revolves around America Singer who was chosen to take part in a grand competion. She was to compete for the crown and the heart of Prince Maxon of Illea. There's just one problem, she is inlove with someone else, she loves Aspen Ledger. In their world where caste status is very important she knows her mother will disapprove her relationship with someone whose caste is lower than hers. America was so sure she would not like Prince Maxon before the Selection began but the turn out of events didn't quite went the way she thought it would. The prince turned out to be a very good man after all and the next thing America knew is that she is more than willing to stay in the palace as long as the prince wants to keep her. At the end there were only six left out of the 35 girls who took part in the Selection.


Book-o-meter : 8.5/10

I am really a sucker for love stories so I enjoyed the book very much however I think should I have read this book during my teen age years I would have given it a 10 but considering that I am now on the early adulthood stage that maybe is why I gave it an 8.5 but then again I highly recommend this book, The Selection, especially to teenage girls out there.

Do you have any other books in mind that you might want me to read and put on a review? Share your thoughts in the comment box, I would live to hear from you. :)


This is quite a long read for me. It took me several days to finish this book but it is a good read trust me. This book is written by Rainbow Rowell who also wrote Eleanor and Park (which I blogged about several weeks back).

The story is basically about Cather who is a fan of the Simon Snow book series (I guess we can say that Simon Snow series is equivalent to the Harry Potter series in some points since it is basically about magic and magical creatures). Cath has a twin sister named Wren, they used to be bestfriends and  really close before they've gone to college. Wren was the more outgoing one, she loves to go ot and party unlike Cath who loves solitude. The twins love to write fan fiction about Simon Snow, they have thousands of followers around the globe. When they entered college things started to change between the twins. Wren started to hang out more with Courtney, her roommate, more often than Cath. Cath on the other hand had no one but a room mate, Raegan, who has a cold shoulder towards the world and who also has an ex boyfriend, Levi, who always stays in their room. Things kinda effed up for Cath but she managed through while Wren did not to the point of drinking too much she had a black out and was rushed to the hospital. Levi and Cath got together also, which was actually my favorite part of the book. Rainbow Rowell have that magic to turn two people who doesn't seem compatible into beautiful love birds.

The book is a very light romantic novel that I guess everyone would love to read. If you liked Eleanor and Park well then I'm pretty sure you will also fall in love with this book.

My rating for this book : 8.5/10

If you are looking for a book of poem about love and all the likes well you might want to sink in your teeth in this book. A collection of wonderful poems that will surely soothe your cravings for romance and all that it entails as well. Whether you are in love, in the process of falling in love, heart broken or friend-zoned you will surely find a poem here that will surely say something about your lovelife.

My rating for this book : 8/10
If you fell in love with Christian Grey and Gideon Cross you are sure to fall in love with Andrew Parrish just the same.

The story revolves around Camryn and Andrew. Camryn started a bus ride to nowhere in the hope of finding herself along the way and in that bus ride she met this wonderful man named Andrew who is set to change her life forever.

This book is filled with many surprises as you read it further. I would admit though that I got bored on the beginning of the book because it seems that the transition of events are quite slow, however as I go along in reading the book I became more and more curious about how the relationship of Andrew and Camryn would develop.

I have to warn you, once you reach the part of the book that is exciting, you will surely get addicted to it that you wouldn't want to stop reading this book until you finish it. :)

My Rating for this book : 9 out of 10.


My Review:

I read this book in just one day, not that I'm saying it's too short, it's just that it's so good I can't stop myself from reading. The story was about Eva Tramell, a young socialite with a horrible past, and Gideon Cross, a rich bachelor who share almost the same horrible past like Eva.

Some would say that Bared to You share some similarities with the Fifty Shades Trilogy though they may have some similarities there is also a big difference between the two. In Fifty Shades, the lead character Ana Steele have a perfect childhood compared to Eva of Bared to You, you may notice that there is a similarity in the two characters in which they both have parents who are already separated but nonetheless their childhood are quite different from one another. Christian Grey of Fifty Shades accepted the lifestyle of a BDSM however Gideon Cross of Bared to You does not, Gideon acknowledges the fact that indeed there is something wrong with him but he is not doing anything to deal with it unlike Christian who is seeing a shrink. 

Bared to You is the kind of novel that you will easily get hooked into. It will make you want to read more and more and more. It is sensual and erotic in so many ways. It is not your typical love story. The characters do not come in flawless packages but most of them are broken in their own ways and struggling to make themselves better.


Rating: 10/10
