Bookworm Monday

Good day to all! Forgive me if I just got this time to make a blog. I feel so stressed for the first weeks due to school stuff and finally I got to find time to make this. So bare with me. So I shall start then. It's another day for me to have another blog and this time it would bring me to one of my sides that I like most - falling in love of reading books. As stated in my description - Reader. I love reading books. Particularly FICTION books. And as a pick for this week's blog would be the first author that I liked and loved who is none other than Nicholas Sparks.

Nicholas Sparks

Nicholas Sparks is a one-of-a-kind author who makes books mostly revolving on comedy, tragedy and love.

Strengths: He brings the readers to get connected to the stories full of twists and turns that will bring them to mixed emotions and even some surprising endings. He tells his stories till the very detailed parts of what the characters wear, the specific setting, etc. Sparks never lets the readers down with his awesome and astounding stories

Weakness: Some stories have almost similar plots which I recommend for Sparks to do is think of new plots for the next stories that he will make. But I see that the similar plot is a bit minimal seen in the story anyway which I see is still a good thing for him.

Here are the books that he made which yes I collected (minus Three Weeks With My Brother which he made along with his brother).

Left side: The Rescue, The Choice, A Walk To Remember, The Wedding, A Bend in
the Road, At First Sight, Nights in Rodanthe, The Best of Me
Right Side: Message in a Bottle, The Lucky One, The Guardian, The Last Song, The Notebook,
Dear John, True Believer, Safe Haven 

After reading already more than half of the books I have and collected, I give Sparks a sparkling ★★★★★ for a job well done on publishing such wonderful books containing various stories. Even though I noticed a minimal part that I think he needs to improve on, the twists and turns as well the emotions the stories he brings will definitely be something a reader will not regret on. Full of drama that one will be surprised on the ups and downs of the stories. Keep the good work, Mr. Nicholas Sparks. :)

I am hoping to see you one day and request to sign to you all the books I have collected.


Here are some fun facts about me and the books:

No. of books collected: 16 (Three Weeks With My Brother not included)
No. of books read and finished: 12 (Message in a Bottle, The Choice, Dear John, True Believer, A Walk to Remember, The Guardian, The Last Song, The Wedding, Safe Haven, The Lucky One, The Rescue)
No. of books not read: 4 (At First Sight, A Bend in the Road, Nights in Rodanthe, The Best of Me) + 1 upcoming new book which is currently being done at the moment by Sparks himself :)

The first book that I ever read made by him was Message in a Bottle.

Message in a Bottle by Nicholas Sparks

And I want to share two of the quotes that were in the book and I find oh so true.

"Nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy. Remember that." 

"If you like her, if she makes you happy, and if you feel like 

you know her---then don't let her go." 

I felt a lot of emotions as I read this book and some parts made me cry. Hey. What's wrong to cry if you felt the story that much right?

One of the goals of mine would be collecting and finishing all the books made by him. But this is not of course the only author that I like. There a lot more which I shall reveal next time. ;)

Till next time y'all. So I'll leave you a guys with a song that was used  for the Sparks' book as well as his recent movie that came out which is "The Lucky One" entitled You Found Me by The Fray.

XOXO,

4th Post

Awkward title right? But for me it means something a lot.. The number 4 had many meanings ever since I got to  fall in love with someone way back highschool. What does the number 4 mean anyway and why is it so special to me and my lover? Here are some to name a few.

• It represents the day I was born (May 4, 1992) 

• It represents the day he was born (October 4, 1992) --> So yes I'm older than him 

• There are 4 months separating our birth months (June, July, August and September) 

• It is his favorite number. 

•  My favorite number when subtracted and getting the absolute value results to 4 (Favorite number: 15) 

•  In his nickname, the fourth letter is my first letter in my real name which is also the 4th letter of the alphabet (Mandy) 

•  We met during our elementary years particularly Grade 4. 

•  After 4 years we met and became classmates again.

•  We fell in love during our highschool as 4th year students 

•  Both of us favorite color is blue which has 4 letters 

•  Love can't be spelled without the 4 letters. L-O-V-E.

I wonder though. Are we really meant for each other despite the fights, the misunderstandings we've been through? I just really hate people who are "manhid" and not keeping their word. It just really sucks. :( Am still trying as well to overcome of being jealous which until now I'm still having problems of controlling. So yeah. I guess this is about it.

Am still hoping to come back for him and say that I still love him. But as of now, it still remains unknown if I will still be with him or not since I have a lot of things to think about. Till next time.

Something that will always represent him of :)

XOXO,
D <3
