<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He had a right to remain suffocated by his pain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She had a right to remain silent about hers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For better or for worse. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Those were the vows that I had taken with my wife six years ago. We had lived through the better and were barely getting through the worse. I tried to face our loss together, while she chose to have an affair instead.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Time apart was what we both needed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What I didn’t expect in that time was her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The beauty she possessed on the outside was a far cry from the scars she was harboring on the inside. She wasn’t looking for love and neither was I. She just needed someone to help her deal with the pain she had been carrying around for the past two years, and I was happy to oblige.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with her, but suddenly I was seeing a future that I never dreamed of right in front of my eyes….only to find that the past had other things in mind for us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">***</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I always believed that we only got one true love in life, and mine was gone and never coming back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Through the tear-filled nights and never ending days, I was slowly and tortuously coming to terms with the pain that was my reality.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And then he entered my life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tall, handsome, genuine and caring, he was a friend when I needed one most. Together, we were a temporary fix to our own permanent pain. Just two people helping each other to get through a very dark period in life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But when the light begins to shine ever so slightly with each passing day, and his face is all I can see at the end of that tunnel…..do I run back into the darkness or move into the light with him?</span></div>

There was always something about being able to travel to a different place or become a different person with just the stroke of a pen - or in today's world a touch of the keyboard. I am the author of The Exception To The Rule, An Unplanned series, Drowning In Love, A Cry for Hope, A Will To Change, Blind Side of Love, Three of a Kind series, and Easy Silence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My life is not as interesting as my books or the characters in them, but then again whose life is? I'm a mom of twin teenage boys, a crazy Border Collie and a cat with an identity crisis! I guess you can say writing is my form of Calgon!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thanks for taking the time to learn about my books and me! If you decide to read them (and I hope you do!) please be sure to go on and review it for me - yes, even if you don't like it!</span></blockquote>

After three long months of not seeing my bookish besties, we're finally gathered once again for the book signing tour of NewYork Times Bestselling author of Red Queen, Victoria Aveyard! I didn't realize how much I missed them until I saw them again!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Here are some of the things that Victoria shared with us:<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Victoria advised aspiring writers that you have to finish your first draft. Write the end at the end and don't edit much along the way. You can give yourself the benefit of a doubt.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">When she was asked about the sequence of how she writes, she said that for Red Queen, she started with the main character then the world building. But usually, the latter comes first and the character is what makes readers stay in a story.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Red Queen was supposed to be a duology at first, but then Victoria thought she need more. Three books would be rush, she thought. So she went back to Harper and said she needed another book.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Universal Studios has the screen option for Red Queen. The screen writer is Jennifer _______ (Sorry I didn't hear her last name clearly).</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Her favorite fantasy novels:</li>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">1. Lord of the Rings trilogy</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">2. Harry Potter series</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">3. A Song of Ice and Fire series</li>
</ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">She learned pretty much every story-telling trick from film school.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">For her, the entire middle part of Red Queen is the most difficult part to write because it's more about build up.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">She did a lot of Google translation of English-Latin for Red Queen.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The third book will start immediately where Glass Sword ends.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">VA said, "I definitely want to write until the day I die." *laughs*</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">After writing the fourth book, she might go back into screenplay writing for the mean time before she started with her next book.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">When asked about the feminism in Red Queen, she said that she's a feminist so it's normal to write about a woman or treating men and women equally.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">She naturally likes genre mashups: Dystopia, fantasy and science fiction.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">On what to expect of Mare on the 3rd and 4th books? More of her emotional journey.</li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>All Imogene Scott knows of her mother is the bedtime story her father told her as a child. It's the story of how her parents met: he, a forensic pathologist, she, a mysterious woman who came to identify a body. A woman who left Imogene and her father when she was a baby, a woman who was always possessed by a powerful loneliness, a woman who many referred to as troubled waters.</i></div>
</div>
<div style="padding: 5px 8px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>When Imogene is seventeen, her father, now a famous author of medical mysteries, strikes out in the middle of the night and doesn't come back. Neither Imogene's stepmother nor the police knows where he could've gone, but Imogene is convinced he's looking for her mother. She decides to put to use the skills she's gleaned from a lifetime of her father's books to track down a woman she's never known, in order to find him and, perhaps, the answer to the question she's carried with her for her entire life. </i></div>
</div>
<div style="padding: 5px 8px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Rebecca Podos' debut is a powerful, affecting story of the pieces of ourselves that remain mysteries even to us - the desperate search through empty spaces for something to hold on to.</i></div>
</div>
</div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>"They could be lonely wherever they were, But not us, Immy. We have each other. So we'll never, ever have to feel that way."</i></b></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I haven't read any mystery book in a while, so I thought, why not start the year with one? Besides, the title and synopsis of the book look interesting, so I decided to start reading this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>The Mystery of Hollow Places</i> is about a girl named Imogene, who is in search of her missing father. She looked up into the clues that she thought her father left for her, and, later on, found herself also searching for her mother who left them when she was two. I think it's really sad, not knowing the real reason why her parents ran away, and there she is, searching for clues, trying to track one of them so she could find the other. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>"I think he left the heart for me not as a clue, but as a map. Hoping just this once I would see it too, the picture in the stars, and use it to find my way to him."</i></b></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Things got more exciting when Imogene used her dad's own novels to track him down. That's a really smart move for a girl of her age. and she's got a very positive character. I like that, unlike others who easily give up and start self-pitying for themselves when things get tough. Plus, there's Jessa, her only friend whom she can really rely on, who helped her more than enough. Jessa's character is like those Queen B's at high schools, but I liked her because of the things she did for Imogene.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><b>"I don't know what it adds up to, but I know it leads somewhere. And how do I know that? Faith. In Dad, and in mysteries."</b></i></blockquote>
<div>
<span style="text-align: justify;">I also like the fact that this book didn't give any focus on romance, but gave a small hint of it. It didn't lose it's emphasis on Immy's search for her missing parents even though she's with a guy she's interested with -- Chad, Jessa's brother. Also, Lindy, her stepmom, played a huge role in this book. She has always been there for Imogene even when her father went missing. She tried to understand her and did her best to help with the case. In short, she's not one of those stepmoms you'd hate.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This book is about mental illness and depression, and how it can affect a person and his or her family, how selfless one may become because of it, how that person no longer cares about how the others would feel, as long as he/she knows it's for the better.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm glad this book didn't disappoint me. Take note, this is the author's first novel and she did a great job! Imogene now belongs to the strongest female characters I know. She's a smart and tough girl for her age! I admire her fighting spirit! I totes recommend this to everyone who's into mystery and positive girl fighting spirit.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">

I kept bugging Katherine (sorry. . .NOT sorry! ^_^) about the next book and she told me the reasons why it wasn't out yet during the time I asked her. <a href="http://tea-rrificreads.blogspot.com/2013/09/blog-tour-review-giveaway-kinetic-by-sk.html">I loved <i>Kinetic</i></a> that's why I was really anticipating this book. And when I finally heard the news about <i>Static</i>, I was so happy and excited to finally read it. Honestly, I needed to skim some parts of Static and reread my review to prepare for this book.<br />
<br />
<i>Static</i> is about Kevin (my loves!) who have the power to teleport. . .and attract ladies! But seriously, this is also about whom Kevin (my loves!) can trust and where is loyalty truly lies. Since <i>Kinetic</i>, I observed that his powers, skills, and abilities improved. Plus, he's got a partner, Ryan, a sensor and an amplifier. And yes, she's a girl. Moving on, I felt sad when Kevin was betrayed by people he trusted so much and that he can't even decide if he still wants them to be part of his life. Just imagine someone you never expected to lie to you, to betray you. . .that's just. . .hard.<br />
<br />
I loved that the first few chapters of this book were action packed already --- because that's what I'm looking for. <i>Kinetic</i> gave me a whole lot of action so I expected more from <i>Static</i> and I wasn't disappointed about what I read. And this one got more futuristic and the world building just got even better! There were also scenes of Annie and Nick! I recommend this one, and, of course, the first book, to those who wants action and more action. :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<i>In a future where ignorance has destroyed the world that we know, humans are slaves and Mages - advanced beings with abilities beyond everyday reach - rule the land.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>Avalon is one such Mage. Barely eighteen years of age, she wields the gift of fire yet she is unable to control it. She leaves her family in the dead of night and heads to the city of Frost Arch, her future seemingly grim. Will Avalon be able to overcome the trials that befall her? Will she be able to save the ones she loves and stay strong within herself?</i><br />

I have so many questions and there is a lot of confusion going on with this book. I think it has a great idea, but still, NOPE. I wanted to like it so much, plus, the cover totally bought me! But I don't think I could handle this one...<br />

<b>THE TRUTH ABOUT US</b><br />
<b>by Janet Gurtler</b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Genre: Young Adult Contemporary</span><br />
Published April 7th, 2015 by Sourcebooks Fire<br />
<div style="background-color: #cfe2f3; padding: 5px 8px;">
<div style="padding: 5px 8px; text-align: justify;">
<i>A powerful and gripping contemporary YA from the author of I'm Not Her that's "Just right for fans of Sarah Dessen and Jodi Picoult."-Booklist</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>The truth is that Jess knows she screwed up.</i><br />
<i>She's made mistakes, betrayed her best friend, and now she's paying for it. Her dad is making her spend the whole summer volunteering at the local soup kitchen.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>The truth is she wishes she was the care-free party-girl everyone thinks she is.</i><br />
<i>She pretends it's all fine. That her "perfect" family is fine. But it's not. And no one notices the lie...until she meets Flynn. He's the only one who really sees her. The only one who listens.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>The truth is that Jess is falling apart – and no one seems to care. </i><br />
<i>But Flynn is the definition of "the wrong side of the tracks." When Jess's parents look at him they only see the differences, not how much they need each other. They don't get that the person who shouldn't fit in your world... might just be the one to make you feel like you belong.</i></div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started reading this last year and I tried to continue but I just don't feel the story. The book did not make me feel like I'm a part of it and I grew tired of Jess and Flynn. They seemed to be just some characters I met along the road of reading, with nothing much to remember about. I feel so sorry for this one.</div>

<br />
Ni hao, everyone! Like I told you before, I wanted to bring back the old bookworm in me this year. I thought of resolutions that may help me win her back + make reading (and blogging) a regular thing for me again. Please support me on this one! :D<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. Read at least one book every week.</b></span><br />
That would be a total of at least 52 books by the end of the year! Bring it on!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Finish reading the books on my "Currently reading" shelf on Goodreads from last year.</b></span><br />
It's not that the books are not good... the problem is me. :/<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. ALWAYS read the last book in a series.</b></span><br />
I have love-hate relationships with series enders. Maybe because I don't think I can handle endings... (BUT I did read Ignite Me and it took me only five hours to finish it!)<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">4. Read at least one book written by a Filipino author every month.</span></b><br />
Because #LoveLocal!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">5. Finish reading ARCs on or before their release dates.</span></b><br />
THIS has been one of my problems ever since --- reading ARCs months (or a year!) after their release dates. Sorry! Huhu<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">6. Publish, at least, two blog posts every week.</span></b><br />
One review, one anything under the sun.<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: #cfe2f3; padding: 5px 8px;">
</div>
<br />
Hmmm, I think that's it! I hope I could follow this list throughout the year and get over my reading slump! Happy reading! :)<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This year, I'll be back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'll bring back the old bookworm in me, who reads at least 3 books a week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wanted to bring back that old bookworm, that girl who cannot NOT read at least five chapters of her current read a day, and that girl who constantly tweets and updates her status on Facebook and Goodreads because of all the feels a book gives her. I miss that girl. So this year, I'll win her back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, I challenged myself to read 52 books this year, which means I have to read at least one book every week. Let's see if I can pull this challenge off since 2015 has been a year of a major reading slump and bookworm bum for me.</div>

<i>Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who's ever been chosen.</i></div>
<div style="padding: 5px 8px; text-align: justify;">
<i>That's what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he's probably right.</i></div>

<i>Half the time, Simon can't even make his wand work, and the other half, he starts something on fire.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I changed Jack’s diaper early on Sunday morning and let his tired parents sleep in. After giving him his bottle, he went back to la-la-land. I then made coffee and sat outside drinking it while texting Ryan. Our training session had been canceled because Derek wanted to see us at the Org at ten in the morning.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I heard a noise inside and went back through the kitchen door to find my tiny sister-in-law trying to reach coffee mugs from the cabinet above her. She was getting on a small step I’d given her years ago as a present.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Why do you insist on keeping things so high up when your head is hardly past the counter?” I asked as I reached around her to get the mug and set it down. I should have known better. As soon as I did that, her elbow connected with my rib and had me wincing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Stop making fun of me or I’ll break a bone next time,” Annie said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“But you are perfect for it, Anniewee. You’re already fun-sized,” I said, grabbing a cup for her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Whatever. It's up there because it’s Nick’s job. Obviously.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Go sit down, I’ll mix your cup. Where is he?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Sleeping. It was his turn for night duty.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Technically you can fix that by hitting him with some energy.” I personally loved when she transferred her energy to me. It was perfect for those all-nighters I was so fond of.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Annie had this ongoing Kinetic energy that could give the rest of us an extra boost to our own powers. It could also give me a certain oomph that kept me energized enough to last me a week or so. Sadly, I no longer got the chance to enjoy the benefits of her powers. I enjoyed Ryan’s instead.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I met Ryan in my last year in training. She’s a sensor and an amplifier. As a sensor, she could tell Luminaries apart from ordinary people, and because she was in tune with other people’s emotions she could tell if they were lying. As an amplifier, she couldn’t do much for herself, but she helped expand everyone else’s powers, times five.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With Annie, it was different: our energies would last a while and we’d keep going. But with Ryan, it was in the moment. She was a drug to us all. The strange thing was that she and Annie couldn’t do anything for each other. They were too evenly powerful in an unbalanced way. It didn’t matter, though; they never went on assignments together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Annie and Nick were now partners with Derek, and they helped run the Org. But their idea of managing was turning Derek down whenever he brought up something they didn’t agree with. Before they had the baby, they went on assignments frequently and left Derek to run his own show. Adrenaline junkies was what they were.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I looked at her. “I’m telling you, Annie. You two should stop trying to deal with a baby like normal people.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“No,” she said, taking a sip while the cup was still in my hand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Well that’s stupid; you are Luminaries. Take advantage.” I put my empty cup in the sink and smiled. “Speaking of, would you be a doll and charge up my new babe for me?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She crinkled her nose. “That doesn’t sound like something I want to do.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Relax. As a birthday present to myself, I turned in my Prius for a <em>Tesla S</em> . . . <em>S</em> for sexy hybrid car. I can’t believe I forgot to show you guys. She’s like my bride, beautiful in white.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“You and your hybrids. You could have just plugged in your car the whole time you were here. There’s a reason you installed a charge port in my garage.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Come on! Please?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“If you want to be so environmental you should just teleport everywhere. You know, take advantage of being a Luminary yourself, instead of using me for your shenanigans.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“First, Ryan is the environmental one. I would never hear the end of her yapping away if I didn’t get hybrids. Second, I have to keep up appearances that I’m normal for those who don’t know our secrets. How would you explain to your nosy neighbors why I was sitting outside if I didn’t walk or drive here?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Stop going outside where they can see you.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I shook my head. “But I needed fresh air.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Uh huh, in February?” She raised her eyebrow. “Like I don’t know you were checking out their daughter?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Look at me. I run on heat. February air does nothing to me. And she just happened to be out there wiping snow off her car, that’s all. I even helped.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“How, exactly?” Annie asked, putting both hands on her hips.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“When she wasn’t looking, a big chunk suddenly slid off. It was discreet, I promise.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She sighed. “Fine, but this is the last time I charge it. And only because I’m curious to see your new car. Stop smiling.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Footsteps behind me alerted me that Nick was up. “My wife’s touch is the key to what now? Keep flirting with her and I’ll make sure you’re unable to wake up next to girls for at least a month.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Whoa, hey, hey. No harm done,” I said, then teleported next to Annie to give her a kiss on the cheek.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Dunno what’s the use of being a teleporter if you’re going to be driving around,” Nick said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I love to drive.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“You love to speed.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“What’s the difference?” I asked him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Stop it, you two. Let’s go charge your car up,” Annie said, pulling me toward the front door.</span></div>

Holla my Tea-rrific readers! I've been invited by Grammarly to share this infographic with you to celebrate International Literacy Day:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Our world today is perhaps more text-driven than at any other time in history. In the Digital Age, the ability to read and write can transform lives, fameilies, and even whole communities. Since UNESCO celebrated the very first International Literacy Day on September 8, 1966, the plight of millions of people around the world has improved through programs dedicated to helping marginalized populations become literate. But there is still a long way to go.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Illiteracy is more than just a lack of reading skills. Around the world, it is a clear predictor of poverty, illness, and disempowerment. It’s not a problem confined to the developing world, either. Even in the United States, there are thirty-two million adults who cannot read, according to the U.S. Department of Education.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>To celebrate International Literacy Day and help raise awareness about the importance of literacy, we have gathered the latest literacy statistics from around the world into an infographic.</i></div>
<br />

When she isn’t busy with her family she finds herself being transported into the world of imagination. Well, either that or running away from spiders…she is convinced they are out to get her!</span></span></div>

<i>They say you never forget your first love. No matter how many more come along or how much time goes by, there will always be that one person who will be forever embedded deep inside your heart and soul. For me, that was Jaxson Callahan.<br />We were complete opposites. I was a senator’s daughter. My parents were always too busy keeping up appearances on the political scene to show me love, so instead they bought my affection.<br />He was the son of a woman who allowed men to use and abuse her as well as him, just for her next fix.<br />We became each other’s solace during that summer we met, creating a lifetime of memories in three short months. I provided him with a sense of hope that there was more than just the harsh reality of the life he had grown accustomed to, and he showed me a genuine love that I had been yearning for my entire life. We vowed to be together forever. I loved him and he loved me…. and nothing would keep us apart.<br />Nothing except the secrets that were hiding in that small seaside town.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Secrets that altered our destiny. We were never given any warning as we watched our future shake, crumble and disappear altogether, leaving us with nothing but memories of a bittersweet past.<br />Life can be beautiful.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Life can be kind.<br />And, life can be heartless…..because nothing about our situation was fair.</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>"Together we created an easy silence, a silence that most people would find awkwardly eerie, but for us, it was symbolic of relationship."</i></b></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>DAMN! This woman is killing me multiple times with her books! I finished this book in a day and I can't get enough! You left me speechless again, Beth! You made me cry AGAIN in the middle of the night!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Easy Silence</i> is about the story of Samantha and Jaxson, who came from different worlds. Socially, financially, and emotionally different worlds. Samantha is a daughter of a politician who cares about nothing except his reputation. Because of this, Sam doesn't have a choice but to go with the flow and live with the expectations of the people around her.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>"His steel blue-grey eyes locked with mine, and in an that instant, I knew my heart would never be the same again."</i></b></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jaxson, on the other hand, is a broken boy who cannot escape the darkness of his past. He is a well-known bad boy around the town that his name is almost equivalent to word trouble.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>"Sometimes people enter our lives, leaving an imprint forever embedded in our hearts. they serve as a purpose, however short that time together may be."</i></b></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sam and Jax may be from two different worlds, they may have hundreds of differences but they have one thing in common: they are both broken. Broken in a way that nobody seems to care for Sam, except her grandmother who now suffers an illness and doesn't know her anymore. Broken in a way that Jax despises her mother and father so much that he can't stand looking at them or even seeing them. That his past is still haunting him, no matter how hard he tried to escape and forget it. Together, Sam and Jax found comfort in each other. They helped each other to be finally happy, to have the best summer of their lives.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>"I don't have any ulterior motives, othen that I really do like you and enjoy myself when I'm around you. It's okay to let me in, even if it's not all the way. I promise I won't hurt you forever."</i></b></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But this, I tell you, is heartbreaking. Or maybe it depends on your perspective and understanding. It's not your <i><b>typical</b></i> HEA... full of secrets, mystery and surprises. All my feelings were contained until the last few chapters! I won't tell much because I don't want to spoil everything but this book is beautifully written.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Beth knows how the mindset of most teenage girls works, like always feeling that their boyfriends will be their husbands, that they can make things work out perfectly, things like that. She can totally pull off whatever age her characters are. If you have read her previous books (if not, please do!), almost all of her major characters are adults. And OMG I love this book and I'm waiting for more from you, Beth! I hate and love you because you always make me cry but at the same time, I like the feeling of the pain your books give me. (Wow, really Algel? You like <b><i>pain</i></b>?!)</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>"You don't see the beauty in life until you realize you'll never see it again; it really makes you appreciate things more, things that I never thought twice about before."</i></b></span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">“So, did you have a good birthday?” I asked.<br />
<br />
“It’s just another day. Nothing special about it. I’d just as soon forget the day I was born.”<br />
<br />
“Why are you so hard on yourself?” I second guessed myself for asking as the words spewed from my mouth.<br />
<br />
“You just wouldn’t understand, Samantha.”<br />
<br />
My whole life I hated being called that name, but hearing him say it was kind of nice. It was as if it was his and his name only for me. I was his Samantha, and he was my Jaxson.<br />
<br />
“Maybe I could try. I’m a pretty good listener.”<br />
<br />
He took another sip of his lemonade and placed it on the table. “I really have to go.” He stood up and looked down at the ground.<br />
<br />
“I’m sorry. I – I didn’t’ mean to pry,” I said, standing up beside him. “It’s just, sometimes it helps to express how you’re feeling, and I’m –” He took me completely off guard when he grabbed my face in his hands, pulled me toward him, and placed a warm gentle kiss on my lips before smoothly slipping his tongue into my mouth. I was speechless as I pulled in my bottom lip still wanting to taste more of him when the kiss was over.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“You wanted me to express myself,” he whispered. “Well, that’s what I’ve been feeling from the time I walked up on this porch. I wanted to see if your lips felt as soft as they look. I wanted to get as close to you as I possibly could and breathe in your perfume that drives me crazy. And, maybe for one second of my life, I wanted to feel like I was worthy of someone like you. That’s how I was feeling, Samantha.” </span></div>

</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Ever since I can remember, I have always enjoyed Creative Writing. There was always something about being able to travel to a different place or become a different person with just the stroke of a pen - or in today's world a touch of the keyboard. I am the author of The Exception To The Rule, An Unplanned Lesson, An Unplanned Life, Drowning In Love, A Cry for Hope, A Will To Change, Blind Side of Love, When The Chips Are Down and Easy Silence.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My life is not as interesting as my books or the characters in them, but then again whose life is? I'm a mom of twin teenage boys, a crazy Border Collie and a cat with an identity crisis! I guess you can say writing is my form of relaxation.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Established in 1991 in Germany by Thomas and Alexandra Batsch, Online has become a trendsetter in the writing industry with its high-quality writing utensils for students, young people, and for those young at heart. The term <b>“online”</b> was coined by the founders which means being up-to-date in reference to writing.The company focuses on producing writing instruments for school and office with high quality level for functionality and technology.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last Thursday, July 2, 2015, Online Germany officially launched its products here in the Philippines. Held at EDSA Beverage Design Studio, the event was a huge success. It was attended by different groups of young and adult designing teams like <b>Type Kita Manila </b>and of course, <b>Abbey Sy</b>, who also recently launched her very first book, <i>The ABC's of Hand Lettering</i>.<br />
<br />
I attended the event with my boyfriend and blogger friends, <a href="http://www.thebookaholicblurbs.blogspot.com/">Kate of The Bookaholic Blurbs</a> and <a href="http://oopsireadabookagain.com/">Dianne of Oops! I Read a Book Again</a> who brought her sister, Lianne, with her. We had a great time talking about pens and there's even a mini calligraphy session with some of the calligraphers who attended the launch. EDSA Beverage Design Studion served buffet food, cocktails and coffee to guests.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I was lucky enough to have a short chat with Online's Business Development Manager, Mr. Alexander Batsch.</div>

Here's the run through of our short conversation:</div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: #cfe2f3; padding: 5px 8px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Me:</b> What makes Online Pens different from other brands of pens?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Alexander:</b> They are very fashionable. So we will change our collections every year for youngline and also every year for topline. So there is a change before Christmas season for the topline items and before the school season for the youngline items. We are always developing something that is very close to the trends that we see in fashion. So you can use our products like lifestyle products. It's not just a pen, it's also your personal item to express your style, your personal feelings, you can play around with the colors cause' it's something very unique.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>M:</b> I have a collection of pens, actually, so when National Book Store invited me, I was like "Oh yeah! I'm going to attend it!"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>A:</b> Great! Great!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>M:</b> Are you fascinated in calligraphy? Lettering?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>A:</b> I'm still practicing. So I have a very good teacher. She is an Australian partner. When she was in Germany she was also practicing with me, together with my calligraphy skills, or just my fine penmanship. Bacause I think you need to have this as a basis for starting doing real calligraphy. So I'm working on that, to have really proper penmanship, but of course, there's a lot to do for business, so time is short.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>M:</b> That's true. I'm also practicing calligraphy as a kind of hobby. And we actually have a great team here in Manila! Abbey Sy, she's one of my inspirations whenever I practice my lettering skills.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>A:</b> Nice! That's great. Is your online pen a calligraphy pen or a regular pen? Oh this is a regular pen. But that's also fine. Is it already inked inside?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>M:</b> I think not yet. I haven't tried it yet.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>A:</b> Okay. Calligraphy or fine writing looks even better with you have a wider nib. But let's see and try. Let me show you our calligraphy pen, it's one of our best sellers.</i></div>

<i>Aidan O’Linn’s childhood ended the night he saw a demon kill his mother and mark his sister, Ava, with Darkness. Since then, every three years the demons have returned to try to claim her. Living in the gritty, forgotten corners of Los Angeles, Aidan has managed to protect his sister, but he knows that even his powers to fight demons and speak dead languages won’t keep her safe for much longer.</i></div>
<div style="padding: 5px 8px; text-align: justify;">
<i>In desperation, Aidan seeks out the help of Sid, the enigmatic leader of a group of teens who run LA Paranormal, an Internet reality show that fights demons and ghosts. In their company, Aidan believes he’s finally found a haven for Ava. But when he meets Kara, a broken girl who can spin a hypnotic web of passionate energy, he awakens powers he didn’t know he had―and unleashes a new era of war between the forces of Light and the forces of Darkness.</i></div>
<div style="padding: 5px 8px; text-align: justify;">
<i>With the fate of humanity in his hands, can Aidan keep the Darkness at bay and accept his brilliant, terrifying destiny?</i></div>

<b><i>WHERE IS THE NEXT BOOK?</i></b><br />
<b><i>I NEED IT NOW.</i></b><br />
<b><i>RIGHT. NOW.</i></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When Colleen and Tarryn announced that they wrote a book together, the book community exploded with excitement and awe. We all knew these authors wrote good books and may readers loved them. But I have to admit, I haven't read anything by Tarryn Fisher but based on what my friends said, she's as good as Colleen Hoover. They are both New Adult Romance writers, it's just that they have different writing styles. So when I heard about Never Never, I got mixed feelings of excitement and fear. Excited that they wrote a book together, and fear that their styles might clash and won't go along well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So Never Never is about Charlie and Silas who both woke up with some sort of amnesia. They don't remember anything about themselves or about the people around them. They later on figured out that they are in a relationship so they tried to do things or meet people they are supposedly related with to see if it would somehow trigger a memory or something that they would remember.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I noticed on the characters is that Silas does everything so they can remember. He's the one who wanted to remember what it feels like to be inlove with Charlie. He wanted to remember 'them'. He's trying to revive the spark between him and Charlie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>“Before, when I looked at her, she was just the girl who as experiencing this weird phenomenon with me. Now when I look at her, she's the girl I've apparently made love to for a while. The girl I apparently still love. I just wish I could remember what it's supposed to feel like.”</b></i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><b> “I may not remember anything about her, but I would bet her smile was my favorite part of her”</b> </i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Charlie feels the opposite. Yes, she wanted to gain back her memories, but she doesn't want to remember anything about her feelings for Silas. I think she's in denial about their relationship. She doesn't even want to be called Charlie. She keeps on saying that she's not her and I'm not liking her attitude.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>“I look away. I'm tired of liking him. I only have a day and a half worth of memories, but they're all filled with me not hating Silas. And now He's made it his personal mission to make me love him.”</i> </b></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To be honest, I almost dozed off while reading Never Never. I think Colleen and Tarryn's writing style doesn't combine well. I liked Silas, but I hated Charlie. The first 50% is completely nothing and the other half is full of questions and confusions. What I like about this book is the mystery and how Silas and Charlie made a plan to resolve their problem especially when they learned that it's not just that they lost their memories. <b>SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT</b> They have been losing it over and over again. <b>SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT</b> You should read it for you to understand what I'm trying to say here. And the ending fucking killed me. I hate cliffhangers!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>“We were an us, Charlie. And holy shit, I can see why.”</i></b></blockquote>

<b>ABOUT 99 DAYS</b><br />
Molly Barlow is facing one long, hot summer—99 days—with the boy whose heart she broke and the boy she broke it for . . . his brother.<br />
<br />
Day 1: Julia Donnelly eggs my house my first night back in Star Lake, and that’s how I know everyone still remembers everything. She has every right to hate me, of course: I broke Patrick Donnelly’s heart the night everything happened with his brother, Gabe. Now I’m serving out my summer like a jail sentence: Just ninety-nine days till I can leave for college and be done.<br />
<br />
Day 4: A nasty note on my windshield makes it clear Julia isn’t finished. I’m expecting a fight when someone taps me on the shoulder, but it’s just Gabe, home from college and actually happy to see me. “For what it’s worth, Molly Barlow,” he says, “I’m really glad you’re back.”<br />
<br />
Day 12: Gabe wouldn’t quit till he got me to come to this party, and I’m surprised to find I’m actually having fun. I think he’s about to kiss me—and that’s when I see Patrick. My Patrick, who’s supposed to be clear across the country. My Patrick, who’s never going to forgive me.<br />

<b>ABOUT KATIE COTUGNO</b><br />
Katie Cotugno went to Catholic school for thirteen years which makes her, as an adult, both extremely superstitious and prone to crushes on boys wearing blazers. She routinely finds herself talking about the romantic endeavors of characters on TV shows as if they actually exist in the world. Katie is a Pushcart Prize nominee whose work has appeared in The Iowa Review, The Broadkill Review, The Apalachee Review, and Argestes, as well as on Nerve.com. Her first novel, HOW TO LOVE, is out now from Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins. The great loves of Katie's life include child's pose, her little sister, and mozzarella and honey sandwiches. She lives in Boston with her husband, Tom.<br />
<br />
<b>ABOUT BETTER THAN PERFECT </b><br />
Juliet Newman has it all. A picture-perfect family; a handsome, loving boyfriend; and a foolproof life plan: ace her SATs, get accepted into Harvard early decision, and live happily ever after.<br />
<br />
But when her dad moves out and her mom loses it, Juliet begins questioning the rules she’s always lived by. And to make everything even more complicated there’s Declan, the gorgeous boy who makes her feel alive and spontaneous—and who’s totally off-limits. Torn between the life she always thought she wanted and one she never knew was possible, Juliet begins to wonder: What if perfect isn't all it’s cracked up to be?<br />
<br />
Melissa Kantor once again delivers a tale that is equal parts surprising, humorous, heartbreaking, and romantic. Powerful and honest, Juliet’s story brilliantly portrays the highs and lows of life in high school and will resonate with any reader who has experienced either.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>ABOUT EXTRAORDINARY MEANS</b><br />
From the author of The Beginning of Everything: two teens with a deadly disease fall in love on the brink of a cure.<br />
<br />
At seventeen, overachieving Lane finds himself at Latham House, a sanatorium for teens suffering from an incurable strain of tuberculosis. Part hospital and part boarding school, Latham is a place of endless rules and confusing rituals, where it’s easier to fail breakfast than it is to flunk French.<br />
<br />
There, Lane encounters a girl he knew years ago. Instead of the shy loner he remembers, Sadie has transformed. At Latham, she is sarcastic, fearless, and utterly compelling. Her friends, a group of eccentric troublemakers, fascinate Lane, who has never stepped out of bounds his whole life. And as he gradually becomes one of them, Sadie shows him their secrets: how to steal internet, how to sneak into town, and how to disable the med sensors they must wear at all times.<br />
<br />
But there are consequences to having secrets, particularly at Latham House. And as Lane and Sadie begin to fall in love and their group begins to fall sicker, their insular world threatens to come crashing down. Told in alternating points of view, Extraordinary Means is a darkly funny story about doomed friendships, first love, and the rare miracle of second chances.<br />
<br />

I tried to record the whole Q&A so I can transcribe it later on but I don't think I have the time to do so because I'm very busy at work these days. But, you can check out Salve's recap of the whole Q&A! I had a good laugh at the beginning of the video! (This is also my way of promoting Salve to the bookish community esp to the booktubers out there!)</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Bestselling and award-winning historical romance novelist Tessa Dare is set to do a <b>talk and book signing event</b> on <b>June 27, 2015</b> at <b>3 p.m.</b> in <b>Powerbooks, Greenbelt 4</b>. Registration starts at 10 a.m. Only books purchased from Powerbooks, National Book Store and National Book Store Express will be accommodated. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">‘Romancing the Duke’, the first book in Tessa Dare’s latest series ‘Castles Ever After’, is described by Publishers Weekly as a “a unique twist to a fairy tale, complete with an ancient castle, a damsel in distress, and a wounded hero”. Isolde Ophelia Goodnight grew up on tales of brave knights and fair maidens being the daughter of a well-known author. As her storybooks offered endless possibilities, she never doubted romance would soon be part of her life. As time passes by, she gives up yearning for romance and the never-been-kissed woman settles for a roof over her head. The series continues in ‘Say Yes to the Marquess’, which was released in December, and in ‘When a Scot Ties the Knot’, which will be released in August. </span></div>
