Review: Blast from Two Pasts by Kristel S. Villar
This was an easy read. Even if it had some dull moments, the swoon-worthy scenes were easy to relate with. I connected with Cara about her feelings for Lucas a.k.a. Basti *spoiler alert* esp. when she couldn't tell him her feelings for Lucas since she was thirteen. First love never dies, right? And the jealousy and pain she felt when she had no right to feel those feelings at all. What really made my heart leap was knowing that Basti had always known and actually liked her since he was fifteen (when she was thirteen). Why do teens always make it hard on themselves and not just tell each other how they actually feel and just end up together already? But I guess the long wait is what makes it sweeter.
There were two things I didn't like about the novella though. One was that Lucas seemed oh so perfect. I don't know if guys really remember everything like girls do even way back in high school. But I guess realistic would be boring. Second thing was the book did not seem to have given Oliver a chance to redeem himself. I didn't feel any confusion for Cara. It had always been Team Basti. It would have been better to have felt torn between the two guys, who to choose? who had made more effort? Something like that. Maybe it's just me.
But overall, this is one of the best novellas I've read so far. It aimed straight to the heart.
P.S. This novella reminded me a little of My Best Friend's Wedding. Not plot-wise. ;)

[Book Review]: In Over Her Head by Anne Plaza
This contemporary romance novella was also a product of Ms. Mina Esguerra's #romanceclass that I joined last year. I am a pretty slow reader that I only got to read Anne Plaza's self-published novella now. I really want to read all of the other seven masterpiece of my classmates but so far, I have only read two. Boohoo!
Anyway, this novella reminded me of One More Chance but less drama. The first half of the book got me thinking and kept me asking questions about why Richard just dropped her fast like Erika was insignificant and all... or the fact that Richard would be jealous of Jerome when it was too easy for him to leave her...
I liked the dynamic among Erika's barkada. It was very realistic and at the same, I felt like I was watching a rom-com. It was a very light read and fun. I was expecting a bigger, more grand gesture from Richard but I can't say that the ending was not satisfactory.
I would definitely recommend this to friends and readers who love chicklit.

Book Review: The Real Score by Kesh Tanglao
This book review is rather short so bear with me a little.
The Real Score by Kesh Tanglao was written for the online #romanceclass mentored by Ms. Mina Esguerra. It is a contemporary novella written for the said online class. I have bought this book some months ago but procrastinated on reading it because of hectic work schedule and for fear of comparing it with my work and I might get discouraged with how great my other classmates' works are that I might shy away and not release my book anymore.
Anyway, for the review proper, I think this book is one of those books where the reader would say, "Come on! Get together already! You both love each other! Why let fear and emotions stop you!" But it is the awful reality in life. Fear is the number one downer for people to reach their dreams or what they want in life or who they really want to be with.
At first, the book didn't catch my interest but still read on and by the middle of the book, I couldn't put it down anymore. I just had to finish reading it and see what happens to Caitlin and Marcus' love story. It has this hanging factor that makes you want to read more. Just when you think they are already getting together, something happens that they don't so you keep on reading until they finally do and you don't realize, you're already on the last page of the story.
The book cover looks amazing like it was published mainstream.
Overall, it was worth the money I paid for. Although, it's still "bitin". I feel like I want to get to know more of how their story will go on. So, I will be looking forward to Gezellig 2. If there will be.
Must read for those who love to daydream about being a fangirl who someday will end up with the lead singer of a band or someone in the show business.

Review: Love Your Frenemies by Mina V. Esguerra
This book is actually something fresh from all the others I've read. The concept is supposedly "ang kontrabidang bida". The readers should be hating her, right? But as I read the whole book, my sympathy really is with her because she's not really the evil one here, it's the people around her who seems to be "wanting what's best for her" but ends up pushing Kimmy to be the "evil" one. This made me realize how realistic the concept is after all. People just tend to act bad for a reason; it's just the way people perceive it that makes it either worse or justified.
I also liked Kimmy and Manolo's seemingly love-hate relationship. But in the end, I knew he'd be there for Kimmy.
This book is definitely in my Top Ten books. It is a very interesting read. I finished it in three days. That is of course, in between my work. I just could not put it down but had to because of the work load I had to finish.
Definite recommendation to those Chicklit lovers!

#romanceclass: getting through the journey
I have always wanted to become a published author ever since I first started to write short stories when I was in fourth grade. I believe the first fiction I wrote was the "Alamat ng Pagong" but my own version. I don't exactly remember the details of the story anymore since it has been decades ago.
Anyway, I continued with my writing but very few people got to read my stories because most of them were in relation to my personal experiences (most of them wishful thinking) but still, it laid out to be one heck of a story. But years later, I decided I wanted more people to read them and be able to share being a hopeless romantic to everyone so I thought of the last option which was to self-publish my own books.
I decided to start with that project two years ago when I had just graduated from college, but decided to submit to local publishers first so that I no longer have to worry about the printing costs, book designing costs, and copy editing and, the most horrid of all, marketing my books since they have the resources to do so. And two years later, I was still down to ZERO published books.
It really got me very disappointed and discouraged for fear that maybe my novellas are not really worth the attention or time to be read and appreciated after all. I knew I needed to do something about my dream and to be able to fulfill one of my biggest dreams. I thought maybe I needed a mentor. Someone who could tell me what to do, what the local publishers would want to see in my novella, and the like. And when I saw that Ms. Mina Esguerra (author of Love Your Frenemies, My Imaginary Ex, Interim Goddess of Love Trilogy, That Kind of Guy, which by the way, I have all read), I knew it was a blessing in disguise. And since I have little financial resource of my own, I was glad it was all for free! Was really glad that Ms. Mina was so generous to offer this to us and support other self-publishing authors like herself.
At first, I was not sure if I could actually finish her #romanceclass since the nature of my job requires me to be awake at night and asleep in the morning. But still I tried to persevere and sacrificed sleep to meet Ms. Mina's Assignment deadlines. For the first time, I felt like I was back in school cramming for deadline submission of papers, wracking my brains out for the perfect ideas to complete my novella.
I was very happy every time I was able to meet the deadlines and see the progress of my novella. And when I finally reached the end of my novella, though I was never sure it was good enough, I knew that I was proud of myself that I got to finish my novella- the whole 30000 words and more.
Now, finishing a novella is one thing. And marketing my novella and getting it out there is another thing. I am only halfway through the journey and there is still a whole lot more! But am a little nega on these things lately.
The first self-published book I have out there is not really doing so well since I don't really know how else to market my books and nobody knows who I am as an author and it just feels so disheartening. I want my book to look perfect but the cost is too high that most of the people in my target market still can't afford or has difficulty to afford my book. Why would they take a chance on an unknown author with a seemingly expensive selling price of her book, right??
Argh! I just wish I could have the luxury of free time and financial resources to go all out and market my books. I may be too tired by then, but I am already halfway there, should I give up now?
