2016 READING CHALLENGE | MID OF FEBRUARY

Hello wonderful readers! Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! May we love every book in the world!

Anyways, I am here today to update you guys on what I have read and how my reading challenges are going. I am hopeful to be able to read and see yours too!

Let's begin!





If you do not know, I am trying to accomplish two Reading Challenges this 2016.

The first one is Goodreads' 2016 Reading Challenge in which I have entered 40 books to desperately try to read. As of now, I have read 3 books out of 4 and I am 1 book behind of schedule. But I'll try my very best to do this challenge!

JANUARY WRAP-UP | 2016

Hello wonderful readers!

I am here today to formally announce that I will (try to) do a monthly wrap-up of the books that I have read (or even if I haven't read anything), bookish things that happened, and all of that sorts. 

So to formally start that, I am here to bring what happened to my bookish life on the previous month, January!




January started off with a chaotic sequence of events for me. There's school, yes, but what I experienced was 10x chaotic then what I should've experienced on a normal January.

There are schoolworks, I had to catch up with the lessons that I've missed for a month, quarterly exams, and other more activities/contests that made my schedule messy.

By the introduction, you probably have a clue on how many books I've read this month.

Actually it's not books, it's just a book.

LAUNCH BLITZ [+ GIVEAWAY] : STARFLIGHT BY MELISSA LANDERS!

Hello wonderful readers!

I am here today to share the launch of Melissa Landers' book, Starflight.




STARFLIGHT Launch Blitz & Giveaway

Hey there, booklovers! 

I’m author Melissa Landers, and I’m thrilled to announce the release of STARFLIGHT, the first in a brand new sci-fi series from Disney-Hyperion. I originally pitched this story to my editor as “Overboard” (one of my favorite romantic comedies) meets “Firefly” (an amazing show that was tragically cancelled after one season). STARFLIGHT follows the misadventures of Solara Brooks, a penniless felon who indentures herself to her high school nemesis, Doran Spaulding, in exchange for passage to a new world. But when Doran’s memory is temporarily erased, Solara convinces him their roles are reversed—that she’s the master and he’s the servant—and leads him onto a renegade spaceship, where intergalactic shenanigans ensue. STARFLIGHT is very different in tone from the Alienated trilogy, but the story is still filled with all the things I love: humor, heart, and adventure.



What do reviewers have to say?

"Get ready for blast-off! Action-packed and utterly addictive, nobody writes like Melissa Landers. A smart, satisfying romance set in a vividly detailed world, Starflight was just plain fun!” – New York Times bestselling author Amie Kaufman  
“Teens will be bracing themselves during the swashbuckling action scenes. A great choice for fans of raw sci-fi action, reminiscent of the lawlessness presented in the television series Firefly.” –School Library Journal 
“A lively tale of romance, space pirates, conspiracy, and made (as opposed to genetic) families.” –Booklist 

If you like your sci-fi adventure served with a side of romance, I hope you’ll pick up a copy of STARFLIGHT today. It’s now available in stores and online. 


Purchase the book at:



To celebrate my book birthday, I’m offering one lucky winner a STARFLIGHT swag pack, complete with custom nail wraps, bookmarks, and a mini poster! The giveaway is open internationally. Due to sweepstakes laws, entrants must be 18 years or older to participate.

Best of luck, and happy reading!
