“Disaster, as it turns out, doesn’t discriminate.”

 

SYNOPSIS:

For eighteen-year-old Gia Winters, having a movie star for a father, a former Playboy bunny as a mother, a Hollywood mansion, and a closet stocked with Chanel is simply another day in the life.

But her world is turned upside down when her father mysteriously hires a group of bodyguards to trail the family 24/7 and threatening phone calls from a “Dr. D” start buzzing daily.

When Gia scores the coveted role of Miss Golden Globe, she is forced to strike a deal with her bodyguard, Jack, who is almost as arrogant as he is attractive. Juggling Gia’s romantic failures, fashion faux pas, and celebrity obsessions, the duo investigate a series of clues with the help of a police cadet, who has a special set of skills and an even better set of dimples.

But with the Golden Globes just around the corner, danger levels rise higher than her stilettos as Gia learns that the biggest secrets might be the ones buried in her own home.

In a place where the hills have eyes, high school nemeses, bad hair days, raging parties, and stolen kisses, there can only be trouble for a girl who was just starting to consider herself lucky.

Unpopular Opinion Book Tag

I know I’m not the only one who has been watching bookTube. And this book tag has been circulating in bookTube for almost a year now. This tag was created by TheBookArcher on YouTube. (Click her username to watched her Unpopular Opinion Book Tag video.) I’ve always seen this tag and I’ve been meaning to do it for quite some time now. And today I’ve decided that this is the right time to do it. I’m bringing the Unpopular Opinion Book Tag here on WordPress for all the book blogger out there!

Before starting this tag, I would like to say that the answer that I’ll be providing below is mine and mine alone. We may or may not share the same opinion but please don’t hate me. 😀 Now let’s proceed to the questions!

Last Book Syndrome

As I was staring at my shelf earlier, I’m counting my unread books and I realized that most of these books are the last book in a series or a trilogy. I have 7 unread last books in a series/trilogy. (Don’t ask me about the total of unread books that I have.) I know it could have been worst. And so I called it the “Last Book Syndrome”.

“And the thing about nerd culture being mainstream culture now means that there’s no place to just be a nerd among other nerds – without being reminded that you’re the nerd.”

 

SYNOPSIS:

‘Everybody likes everything these days. The whole world is a nerd.’
‘Are you mad because other people like Star Wars? Are you mad because people like me like Star Wars?’
‘Maybe.’

If you broke Elena’s heart, Star Wars would spill out. So when she decides to queue outside her local cinema to see the new movie, she’s expecting a celebration with crowds of people who love Han, Luke and Leia just as much as she does. What she’s not expecting is to be last in a line of only three people; to have to pee into a collectible Star Wars soda cup behind a dumpster or to meet that unlikely someone who just might truly understand the way she feels.

February Wrap Up.

The month of February has ended and while other students are having fun because summer is coming, here I am drowning with school works. I spent my February reading school related books and articles for my thesis and I’m trying so hard not to be distracted by my books.

Blabbing aside, I would like to present my February wrap up. Even though I have tons of things to do I managed to read 3 books.
