Let's talk about books

Okaaaaaay. Hear ye! hear ye! My apologies for being late. So! What's up? Uh. I dont. know. why am i here? LOLS.



Anyway, i am here to talk about books. Books you say? Why? :D

knucklehead! i'm a bookworm! :P So it's normal for us bookworms to talk about books. Do book reviews. talk about the story once you're done reading it. and a whole lot of stuff.

So here's the thing.
Last May 1st, i went to a bookstore in a mall. (i think i mentioned this before but who cares? i'm currently making something here :P LOL)

And then all of a sudden. while i was book shopping (window shopping actually)
I saw this book.



AT THE BACK OF MY HEAD I'M LIKE. *LITERALLY I WAS TALKING BY MYSELF HERE* SHIT I GOTTA BUY THIS BOOK! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS BOOK FOR A YEAR NOW I STILL HAVENT BOUGHT A COPY OF THIS. THE LAST TIME I SAW THIS AND GOT MY HANDS ON THIS BOOK WAS WHEN MY FRIENDS AND I WATCHED A PLAY AT THIS MALL AND AT THIS SPOT WE TOOK A PHOTO AND I'M ACTUALLY HOLDING THAT BOOK BUT I HAVEN'T BOUGHT IT 'CAUSE I DONT HAVE THE EXACT MONEY TO BUY IT AND ALSO THIS DAY THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENED! BUT LOOK! THREE MORE BOOKS LEFT AT THIS SHELF. I REALLY MUST BUY THIS BEFORE I GO LOOKING FOR IT AGAIN!

That's the proof I'll bring you people. LOOK AT ME OVER THERE. HOLDING THOSE STACKS OF BOOKS. THAT ONE AT THE BACK! THE YELLOW THINGY BOOK OVER THERE! THAT'S IT! I GOT MY HANDS ON IT BUT I DONT HAVE THAT EXACT MONEY! *CRIES*



Ugh. I've been looking for that book for a year. I even posted something on Facebook days ago.

"Elaine Avriele Santos: Rainbow Rowell's books ohmygosh. I freakin want to buy 'em all! Pati mga books ni Robyn Schneider na matagal ko na hinahanap-hanap."

Yeah. I mean totally Robyn Schneider. Yeah. 

But I don't get it. This one.

The book beside 'The Beginning of Everything". The one titled "Severed Heads, Broken Hearts".
I've never seen that on the bookstore before, but i've read book reviews of that on goodreads and i think it's another book by Robyn Schneider. If it's a UK edition of the book beside it, tell it to me via comment on google. 

But if it's a new book by Robyn Schneider, I'm gonna look for it at a bookstore then. :P

Okay.


The Hardbound cover's totally cool :3
That roller coaster's cute. :D


Oh sir, you gotta be kidding me. I'm so gonna kill you LOLS XD I'm dying here! :D 

Okay. So story short. I have an ebook of that book but i dont like ebooks that much and 'Books will never replace ebooks'. TRUE DAT.

Okay. So y'all know I like The Beginning of Everything. ALL IN ALL. ROBYN SCHNEIDER HERSELF :P (ROBYN'S A GIRL BTW :P)

Sorry! I was distracted by Bastille. I was listening to their song 'Pompeii' until now. 

I told you. I'm sooo into English songs these days :3
Okay let's proceed.


 This book! Gosh I'm going gaga with this. This series :P Rainbow Rowell's works to be specific.
Okay. I've seen this book before, 'cause Fully Booked posted this photo.

That one :) When i saw that at first i thought, yeah whatever. But then. at the bookstore the same day when I saw the book at the top. I WAS LIKE. OKAY SO THE PRICE IS AFFORADBLE I GUESS. AND I READ THIS BOOK'S REVIEWS ON GOODREADS AND THEN I WAS FASCINATED. I SAW THIS AND THEN LIKE WHAT I SAID BEFORE THAT DAY I DONT HAVE LOTS OF MONEY TO BUY THE BOOKS I WANT. SO. THIS BOOK HAS A SERIES OF COURSE. AND RAINBOW ROWELL'S A COOL PSEUDONYM. RAINBOW'S A GIRL TOO BTW :3






 I guess that's the US version of Rainbow's works :3 It's totally cool. I saw these books at the bookstore that day too. *Landline's actually not yet released, so it'll be released this June, but it's still cool*



 AHA! The collaboration of the UK and US versions! To be honest. I prefer the UK version. It looks more eye-catchy and cool. Though the US version's kinda cute.

To be honest I have a confession.

I easily get attracted by books that have cool covers in it.


NO WAY! LANDLINE'S RELEASED IN LONDON ALREADY? WTF.
But the books beside Landline's cool though. I like those kinds of stories too :3

The second one :) How cute :D Wait! Is that a cookie? :O


I SWEAR. I'm sooo gonna be earning lots of money to buy all the stuff I want. Not just a new phone. (dont ask i'm going to write an entry about that soon, not now. but soon) Not just a bike. But all the books I want too :P


So! Let's proceeeed.
Weeeeeee! The US and UK version of Eleanor & Park! :D Soooo cute! I really love the UK version :3


Okay. So there's this hardbound books :3 The HoH's also included here for i dont know any reason :3 But I really like hardbound books :3



Oh and that's the UK version of Landline :3 to be released on June here in Manila.

NEXT! :D i know y'all be excited and y'all be going whatthefuck with this next book :3
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WEEEEEEEEE! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MOVIE! :D June 6th! mark your calendars! :3

I LOVE THE FANARTS THE ARTS EVERYTHING. ART. YEAH. ABOUT TFIOS. OHMYGOSH.


Okaaaay! It's really sweet :3 I swear. When i'm inside the movie theater I'll bring lots of tissues. I'm so sure i'm gonna cry inside while watching. Lols.


So! TFIOS is so cool. Like one of the best books i've read :3


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OHMYGOSH THERE'S THIS BARRIER AFTER TFIOS.

But that pic above is so cool :3 #sorelatable here :3  I mean really. When you get a book, isn't it that you get all giddy when you buy a new book? and isn't it also true that when you open that book you just bought, you smell it? (smells so good) and isn't it that when you're reading that book you bought, you know it'll bring you so much good stories? that'll make your imagination go wild? and like you're trapped inside the story itself? like you're IN the story itself? and isn't it also true that when you're reading at night, when you can't contain your sleepyhead you just put your book aside and you sleep and when you wake up it's just right beside you?

Oh how books help us :3 It HELPS US HOW TO LIVE IN THIS WORLD PEACEFULLY. *BOWS*


 OHMYGOSH. SO TRUE. Books are like.... FOOD to me! Books are food for the soul :3 LOL WHUT? LOL



This art is sooo cute :3 That swing, that Okay. Okay. Those trees. Those comets. Everythang!
Kudos to you kiddo!

And then I'm like. SHOOT ME. VERONICA'S REALLY PRETTY. It's been a week! Ohmyyyy how time flies.

I saw the trio last Saturday. Today's Saturday so i think it's really a week.

 D'aaaww Ransereh! You look cute together <3



 The trio! Gosh i already missed 'em. I hope i could see you three again! :D


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANOTHER BARRIER! What is up with me and barriers? Well. its a representation of a new war coming out. LOLS kidding.


Sorry I'm listening to Bastille for like 5 times now. And then Katy Perry's Dark Horse suddenly came in. Then suddenly my classmate called me asking when's the enrollment for this coming semester.

But what am i talking about? I'm talking about books here for pete's  sake.

Hmmm what more to talk about books?

Actually. I'm here to talk about two of my current eye-on authors, Rainbow Rowell, and Robyn Schneider. BOTH PSEUDONYMS OF 'EM AND BOTH LADIES AND BOTH HAVE COOL LITERARY WORKS WITH COOL COVERS. And their works are really amazing!

So! Robyn Schneider's works.

The Beginning of Everything (which i still don't know why i can't get one)
Severed Heads, Broken Hearts ( which i also don't know if it's only a UK version or another work by Schneider)

So! Rainbow Rowell's works.

Eleanor & Park
Fangirl
Landline



YEAH. THOSE. LOOK IT UP! :3


Oh and another additional book/s or series :3


Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me series. and Veronica Roth's Divergent series.

Why did i mention those all of a sudden? 

Oh nothing. I just remember this scene where both have almost the same scenario but Tahereh Mafi's story has that difference in it too, but they're both dystopian but there's this scene at Shatter Me where Juliette Ferars stared out of the steel window (if im not mistaken) and then she mentioned the surroundings and such.


And then Divergent's scene? I dunno i just had it in my mind all of a sudden. but both have similarities beyond compare.


Then. guess what.

I've been re-reading 50 Shades Trilogy! I have an ebook of it 'cause when i buy the actual book my parent's and my relatives will be like WHAT ARE YOU READING. THAT'S BAD. TSK TSK AND SUCH. 


But yeah. I'm re-reading 50 Shades all over again (:


And another thing? Yesterday night i was looking and searching for more books to be 'to-read' on Goodreads. I had lots of books that needs to be read but i just enlisted them all on goodreads.


(oh and please do follow or add me on good reads (: Elaine Avriele's the name ;)






I DONT KNOW MORE WORDS TO SAY BUT I'M GONNA BE MAKING ANOTHER ENTRY I GUESS I DONT KNOW IF I CAN STILL MAKE ONE THIS EVENING BUT I'M STILL THINKING. 

So! this episode's been great. Tyler Oakley's still in Italy :D 



And then the books I mentioned. Keep those in mind. 


Sudden change of genre by Elaine Wilde- Mayers. 

Really?
yes! why? look. i'm a book-worm and i got my interest in reading ever since I was 7. I started reading encyclopedias and almanacs that time. i started to read novels ever since I was 4 like kid stories, the real novels? i started reading such like The 39 Clues when i was 6th grade. my classmate. also my guyfriend influenced me to that. But since then. I've been very fond of reading ever since i was a child. Until now. 

Why sudden change of genre? you know why? i'm growing up. so the interest in books are also changing. Like last year, i usually buy children's books like 9-12 years of age but now, i buy young adult books and believe it or not, i defeated my friend who's 19 now (im only 17 :P) 'cause she hadn't got the strength to finish reading 50 Shades! but i'm already done with that series so, yeah :P. I have interest in young adult books, dystopian, real fiction and romance comedies anything for teens. 


Those were like kind of information i'll give y'all. I'm kinda like distracted right now 'cause of the situations everywhere virtual and real life. 




But the talking about books today seemed fine :) 




I'm gonna be back sooner for another yet epic entry (: 



'Til the next time bookworms!
