THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER by Stephen Chbosky


I still haven't read this novel. I still don't have a copy of it yet. But I saw the trailer of the film adaptation for the very first time earlier. I wasn't interested at first when I first saw links to the film's trailer.

They say if the trailer makes you cry, you should go and see that movie. Nah, I just made that up. But imma watch! Calendar marked! And this book? It's added to my to-buy list.

BATTLE ROYALE by Koushun Takami


Battle Royale is both disturbing and inspiring. That's not a very good combination, right? You'll understand me more clearly when you're done with its final page and you've already thought of the many messages that are lying beneath every page that you turned.

When it was released in Japan, the novel was banned. Everyone who happened to read the book could easily tell why. It was full of blood, guns, and everything that your momma told you you should not read about.

The story is about a class from Shiroiwa Junior High School, picked into the annual Battle Royale and forced to fight each other until only one student remains. In a lot of ways, it is actually similar to the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy. 

THE GHOSTMOBILE by Kathy Kennedy Tapp


When I was in elementary, I make it a point to go to the mall's book section at least once a week. This was the very first book that I bought with my own money.

Someone borrowed it from me back in high school. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it back.

If you're feeling generous, that's

THIRTEEN REASONS WHY by Jay Asher

Thirteen Reasons Why (stylized as Th1rteen R3asons Why) by Jay Asher.

After my internship at Side Trip Travel Magazine, I bought this book at Fully Booked in Cubao (Gateway). I've read so much about it (nothing was negative). After reading the book, I proved all the reader's reviews to be true. What was cool about it was it talks about a lot of things other than suicide.

Thirteen Reasons Why is Jay Asher's debut novel. It became a #1 Bestseller in 2011.

Universal Studios will make a film adaptation of the novel starring Selena Gomez.
