Kai joins the #ReadOutLoudChallenge!

Better late than never! Go me!

(Also, this is the reason why I am a book blogger and not a vlogger. I apologize in advance for my x1000 awkwardness, bad lighting in my room and soft sounding voice.)

I am joining National Bookstore's amazing initiative called the Read Out Loud Challenge, where they will help set up one library in a public school for every 75 videos posted. Supporting such an initiative is more important than my fear of filming myself so here you go~. I am reading from Maggie Stiefvater's (I skipped saying her name in fear of pronouncing it wrong XD) The Dream Thieves. (PYNCH 5EVER!)



"A secret is a strange thing.

There are three kinds of secrets. One is the sort everyone knows about, the sort you need at least two people for. One to keep it. One to never know. The second is a harder kind of secret: one you keep from yourself. Every day, thousand of confessions are kept from their would-be confessors, none of these people knowing that their never-admitted secrets all boil down to the same three words: I am afraid.

And then there is the third kind of secret, the most hidden kind. A secret no one knows about. Perhaps it was known once, but was taken to the grave. Or maybe it is a useless mystery, arcane and lonely, unfound because no one ever looked for it.

Sometimes, some rare times, a secret stays undiscovered because it is something too big for the mind to hold. It is too strange, too vast, too terrifying to contemplate.

All of us have secrets in our lives. We're keepers or kept-from, players or played. Secrets and cockroaches- that's what will be left at the end of it all."


And so I am tagging Leslie of The Bibliophile Kid, Louisse of The Soul Sisters and Jesselle of The Lifelong Bookworm.

ARC Review: Ask Me by Kimberly Pauley

She speaks the truth, and nothing but the truth. And where Aria Morse lives, that can get her into all sorts of trouble. Title: Ask Me by Kimberly Pauley Release Date: April 8th 2014 Published by: Soho Teen Source: Publisher (Thanks Ms. Jenny!) Buy: Amazon | Book Dpository Summary: Ask Aria Morse anything, and she must answer with the truth. Yet she rarely understands the cryptic words she‘s compelled to utter. Blessed—or cursed—with the power of an Oracle who cannot decipher her own predictions, she does her best to avoid anyone and everyone. But Aria can no longer hide when Jade, one of the few girls at school who ever showed her any kindness, disappears. Any time Aria overhears a question about Jade, she inadvertently reveals something new, a clue or hint as to why Jade vanished. But like stray pieces from different puzzles, her words never present a clear picture. Then there’s Alex, damaged and dangerous, but the first person other than Jade to stand up for her. And Will, who off...
