About Me


  Welcome to Vivian's Book Pavilion!!! I here present you the book blogger--Vivian Chen!!! (Obviously…) 

   What can you expect to read from here? Well...book reviews, definitely, and some movie reviews as well. That'll depend on my interested. I'll try my best post every movie that are adapted from book, and perhaps some movies that I think are great. On occasionally, you'll read some musical reviews. I love musical, but I can't watch many of them since I don't live besides Broadway or West End...so sad. What's more, if I find some interesting book tag from book tubers, I'll post them. What about book haul? Since I haven't received any ARC yet...I can only buy two or three books every month. So book haul will base on ever month's expense. And in the future, there "might" be my own novels too. 

  I grow up with Harry Potter and Narnia, so fantasy novels are my favorite. (By the way, I'm a Ravenclaw.)  And now, I'm in love with all fairytale retelling!!! What you can expect to read here: fantasy, historical fiction, fairytale retelling, epic, some sci-fi... They'll be mostly YA novels. But…I do have a strange taste…so you might not read so many “famous” novels as soon as it release. I tend to wait a little longer… (And because of the horrible delivery.) 

  So, welcome to Vivian's Book Pavilion! And hope you like my book blog. 


Renew: I've decided to close Vivian's Book Pavilion Literature Page, and turn it into something else. So from now on, I'll add "Literature" at the title if the review is from my literature class. Hope you'll like them besides my original YA reviews!!!!

The Struggle to be an All-American Girl

The Struggle to be an All-American Girl      By Elizabeth Wong     I know, I’m horrible. But I’m not dead…I’m just lazy. So…before I finish my currently reading, I’ve decided to give you something short. A little reflection on what I thought on my school reading.     It's still there, the Chinese school on Yale Street where my brother and I used to go. Despite the new coat of paint and the high wire fence, the school I knew 10 years ago remains remarkably, stoically the same.     Every day at 5 P.M., instead of playing with our fourth and fifth grade friends or sneaking out to the empty lot to hunt ghosts and animal bones, my brother and I had to go to Chinese school. No amount of kicking, screaming, or pleading could dissuade my mother, who was solidly determined to have us learn the language or our heritage. Forcibly, she walked us the seven long, hilly blocks from our home to school, deposing our defiant tearful faces before the stern principal. My only me

October + September Book Haul Pottermore Patronus New Announcement     I know that’s a lot…but sorry, I forget some other post than reviews are important too!!! I fail my book tag goal terribly these months…such a busy freshman. (Nonsense, I spent most of my time wandering around.) So! Let’s start with Pottermore Patronus!!!   I was so excited when I heard the announcement and I did the quiz immediately that day, without any hesitation. Really, immediately. And you know what? I love my Patronus!!! I know a lot of people out there hate their Patronus, since it might be a salmon…or something like that. But, there are also extremely wonderful Patronus, such as Griffins, or Phoenix. However, they’re also extremely rare as well. I think I also got a rare Patronus? At least that’s what Pottermore told me, unless it said it to everyone. Still, I wish everyone of you love your Patronus regardless how much you hate the animal, Patronus aren’t always what we think they are.
