Alice Through the Looking Glass Directed by James Bobin Starring: Johnny Depp Anne Hathaway Mia Wasikowska Helena Bonham Carter Alan Rickman     After years of waiting…guess what? Alice is back!!!!! You’ve been gone for so long!!!! I think…Alice in the wonderland came out in 2012? Like…it takes ages to film the sequel! But, the waiting is worth it, the movie is fantastic. Since I’m now the free college-to-be, I saw the movie as soon as it release! Can you believe it? I watched the first in theater!!! And the same afternoon, I had dinner with my friend, and she asked me whether I planned to watch the movie or not…I told her I’ve already watched it. How great it is!!!   Now, let’s see…the movie! I went to the movie with my best friend, and after the movie, she told me there are a lot of…well…strange things happened in the film. Indeed, Alice Through the Looking Glass might somehow looks insane? But the scene, the special effect is perfect. ...

These Broken Stars By Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner     Yeah…I’ve wanted to read this book for a long, long while. I know…this happens to most of my books! But hay! How can you blame me when so much TBR waiting? My TBR never ceases growing…HOW AWESOME!!!! But yes…it’s also terrifying. So, These Broken Stars…mumm…not bad…I was practically drawn by the cover. I’m a terrible example of “judge by cover,” really, I’m the worst. But fortunately, as I said before…I have a powerful sense…I never mistake. (Well…I “sometime” read reviews…so that helps too…probably.)     It’s a night like any other on board the Icarus.

The Star-Touched Queen By Roshani Chokshi     Fate and fortune. Power and passion. What does it take to be the queen of a kingdom when you’re only seventeen?   To be honest…I buy this book basically by its cover and title. Really, no exaggerate. As soon as I saw the beautiful cover, I was immediately dragged into and believe it’ll be a great story. Just look at the queen the stars and the distant kingdom! Don’t they look amazing? How can you resist it??? And the title…I can’t reject any title with stars and moon and sun. They’re lovely, don’t you think? Even my own novel is about stars…everything stars stars stars to me.

Top Five Favorite Fictional Villains     A book can’t possibly be great without a villain, right? Some villains we love, some we hate. Without doubt, they definitely light up the book and make our beloved characters better…and more trouble, of course. However, in recent years…more kinds of villains appear in the books…and some of them are quite…adorable? Handsome? Even…(swoon). So, today I would like to share with you guys my top five favorite villains. Some of them I just love to hate them…extremely aweful villains, while the others are so great that I couldn’t imagine the book without them.   This post is inspired by Jessethereader .   So what are we waiting for…let’s get the party started!!! 

Red Queen By Victoria Aveyard IN SCHOOL, WE LEARNED ABOUT THE WORLD BEFORE OURS, About the angels and gods that lived in the sky, Ruling the earth with kind and loving hands. Some say those are just stories, But I don’t believe that. The gods rule us still. They have come down from the stars. AND THEY ARE NO LONGER KIND.   Guten Morgen! Wait…why are you typing in German…? Well sorry guys, practicing! I’m learning German now!!! And I have a big new for you before we start the review of Red Queen!!! I’m now a college-to-be and major in foreign language!!!!

Half-Blood By Jennifer L. Armentraut   Could you kill the one you love?   Well…where to start? Let’s start with the awesome cover!!! I’m so in with this kind of cover! The major reason why I buy this book is because of its cover. It’s so beautiful!!! And the other books have covers as amazing as well. But…to be honest…it take me a long long while to finish this book. When I first read it, I stopped at page 10, then page 50. After that, I started to read The Kiss of Deception, The Siren, and Winter. So recently, I’m run out of book, so I decided to pick it up and read it again. This time…well…look down below and find out!   The Hematoi descend from the unions of god and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi—Pure-bloods—have godlike power. Children of Hematoi and mortals—well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill Daimons or become servants in the homes of the Pures.   Seventeen-year-old Alexandr...

A Court of Mist and Fury By Sarah J. Maas   For love, she cheated death.   For her world, she will become a weapon.   “To the stars who listened, and to the dreams that are answered.”   Wait…don’t you ask me why I choose this quote as my beginning…I just love it so much!!!! Few months ago, when I finished A Court of Thorns and Roses, I knew that I needed the second part immediately, and finally after the long-long wait…the book is here. But, just before the book arrived, I’ve seen a lot of plot predictions and all of them are about Feyre and Rhys…their possibility of being together. As you might know…I ship Feyre and Tamlin so hard that I had already imagined what I was about to write for my review of A Court of Mist and Fury. “Do you a shouting all around the world? Cause that’s what happened when I read this book!!! And damn! I need Feyre and Tamlin together.”   However…things turn out quite different as I’ve expected…no shouting…just uns...

Yes, you’re about to read how this book is and how awesome this series is. No doubt…I’ll keep brainwash you until you finally read this book! I lost my entire heart after reading this book…or listening to this book. After I read The Kiss of Deception…I ordered The Heart of Betrayal IMMEDIATELY! Really, I’ve never ordered a sequel so fast…never ever. But…still the ordered wasn’t fast enough…so I found the audiobook. And I listened to it every day and every night , and finally…I lost my heart. I’m betrayed, I’m tortured, I’m in love…oh wait! My love had never fallen out…so…not in love again…just in love. And after I finished listening to The Heart of Betrayal…I couldn’t wait for The Beauty of Darkness!!! It’s torturing me like Crown of Midnight used to be!!! But with a better relationship, of course. At least…for now...
