  Another day, yet another book review. Fangirl, by Rainbow Rowell is a contemporary novel in the point of view of a socially awkward, “fangirl” who’s obsessed with Simon Snow books (what I like to refer to as the Harry Potter books of the fictional world). Cath is beginning her first year of college, and like anybody else, is afraid. All her life, she has been best friends with her twin sister Wren, after the sudden abandonment of their mother when they were fairly young and their father’s quirky behavior masking his despair. Because of this, Cath has always stuck to dwelling in her comfort zone where no one can touch her. Wren, unlike Cath is an outgoing, spunky, extrovert with high confidence who felt the need in the past to protect Cath. These two best friends are separated when Wren decides to not be roommates with Cath, wanting independence and detaching from her sister. If she didn’t have abandonment issues before, she definitely got them then. C...

Throughout the years, I (just like everyone else on the planet) have developed a couple of TV shows that I will stop whatever I’m doing to watch. And based on the title of this post, you could guess that one of them is Teen Wolf. Yes it has the same name as the 1985 movie “Teen Wolf”, but I can assure you it is much different. It is a mix between comedy, horror, romance, and action driven suspense. It’s the type of show that incorporates the supernatural in a way that it seems to make sense to you, with mythology, folk tales, and science. These are key supplements that  make the show more interesting than just a bunch of insanely attractive actors who aren’t really teens anymore. This show is one I used to consider in my list of “guilty pleasures”, only because it’s very different from the other shows I tend to lean towards (Gilmore Girls, Ally McBeal, etc.). I used to think that I would be considered weird if I watched a show with a name like that, when comparing to the other...

Hello everyone. It sure has been a while. And now that my summer has begun, I’ve decided I can pledge my time to improving my blog. Summer break is a synonym for “a crapload of free time that will be taken up with blogging and reading”. So, to kick off this season, I’ll be giving my book review for Paper Towns by John Green in celebration for the movie coming out on July 24th. I had actually read this book three years ago, back when the only people who knew about John were Nerdfighters (followers of his YouTube channel in collaboration with his brother cleverly named “Vlogbrothers”). I had never heard of Nerdfighters, nor was I one until last year, but I did discover the book quite early on. Paper Towns is a novel about a high school senior named Quentin Jacobsen, though his friends addressed him as “Q”, who had this prolonged crush on Margo Roth Spegielman. Margo was this wild, spontaneous mystery that Quentin had always been absorbed in. When the two were younger, they were...
