The Seraph Seal by Leonard Sweet

My rating: 1 of 5 stars

The Seraphy Seal revolves around the prophecies and mysteries in the Bible depicting how the last days leading towards the Armageddon. I loved Tim La Haye and Jerry Jenkin’s Left Behind Series and was wanting to compare how the Seraph Seal will fare in terms of consistency, interpretation and story line, so I decided to request for an ebook copy from Booksneeze.com.

The story starts with the birth of the key characters in the story which was set in our current year – 2012 and then later on fast forwards to year 2048. Given that the setting is too futuristic, it is rather amusing to note that technology by that time will indeed be very much progressive and advanced, which is also downright frightening.

Here are the things I like about the book: Read more…

I just finished watching the movie adaptation of one of Nicholas Sparks‘ novel – The Last Song starring Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. While there is a love story angle still, the story focuses more on Ronnie ‘s (Miley Cyrus) relationship with her father (Greg Kinnear), who took them in for the summer. Apparently, the father and daughter had a lot of rebuilding to do, as her parents’ divorce caused her to be bitter towards her father. To cut the long story short, the father eventually died with cancer. Prior to his death, he and his daughter were able to finally make amends and she finished the last piece that his father was trying to compose. Read more…

I finally finished my marathon for season 2 of Pretty Little Liars and while I’m not thrilled about the series, it was interesting enough for me to keep me from doing the stuff I tagged as to do for a couple of days. It’s surprising that this series still has a season 3, Read more…

Lately, I’ve really made quite a progress when it comes to my reading both with my daily devotionals and Bible reading as well as my reading projects. The last time I’ve been this productive when it comes to reading would be way back 2005 when I think I’ve read about 20 books for the said year. When I got married and got pregnant, it was rather easy to give in to the temptation of watching tv series since it is one of my husband’s favorite past times. Much of my progress in reading I have to attribute to having an ebook reader, more specifically Blue Fire Ebook Reader. Read more…

So apparently, Video City is still in business. And with digital piracy on an all time high, that just goes to say that rates for dvd and vcd rentals went down reasonably well. So when I found my membership card, which I got for a meager P20, I went ahead and borrowed a couple of dvds and vcds before the holy week. One of the dvds I rented is the romantic comedy movie – What’s Your Number. Read more…

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I amazed myself at how fast I finished reading this book. If it were a food, I would have looked like someone beyond famished trying to wolf it down in as fast as I could. Nonetheless, even if that were the case, it could not be said that I finished it off without trying to really taste the wonderful different flavors meshed in this dish. In fact, the book took me from love, pain, to rage, fear, hilarity and back. It is so satisfying that like a dog completely gorged up in his meal, that he ends up licking his chops trying to relish whatever flavors still left in his mouth, I ended up lingering on the book for a bit, trying to replay the scenes in my head over and over again.
