I always expect. I always end up getting disappointed.

Books that I've recently read that i really really liked:
Stargirl and Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
I always see this book(Stargirl) in bookstores and during book fairs in school. Even though i was attracted with the cover, i didn't bought it immediately. Because I'm not sure whether i would like it. But then one time, i went to the mall to buy a book that i like, but then it was out of stock so i decided to finally buy this instead. I began reading it immediately after i bought it. And after that, i can't get the book out of my hand. I was hooked. And i don't really know why. Well, maybe because of the unusual but kind of not really unusual story. (Okay, i know you don't get me. Just read the book!) It's a love story, yes. But more of a.. What do you call it.. Slice of life? Stargirl is a peculiar girl. And i don't really know why i like the character of Stargirl. (Let's just say she's not the type of character that i would like as a protagonist) But i don't know, maybe her weirdness and naiveness and of course the flow if the story really caught my attention. It's hard to extract from your system. It made me kilig, sad, cry, laugh. Mixed emotions. I recommend you to read Stargirl. Then the sequel of it is entitled Love, Stargirl. I like the first book more. But i also like the second one. It's not mine btw, it's my classmates book. Anyway, I wont give any spoilers. Just read it, will ya? :)
Mary Jane by Judith O'Brien
Obviously, It's the story of Mary Jane. (Spidey's first love? Am i right?) My sister told me to read this book yesterday and i finished it yesterday too. Too bad the book isn't mine, it belongs to my sister's friend. Moving on, I like this book because of many reasons. First, the book cover (the one on the left is the outer cover and the one on the right is the main cover of the book.) Don't you think it's cute? Second, the plot. It's Mary Jane's side of the story, it's nice to know the life of Mary Jane before and during he met Peter Parker. I was hooked in this book because, hmm, yes i like spider-man but I'm not a fan. And the age of the characters is 15, which is the same age as me. So i enjoyed it a lot. Third, the art. There is a drawing in every chapter so it's more enjoying to read. I want to have my own copy of this book. Someday i will buy this book. I recommend you to read this!
Mangas that i'm hooked with:
(Ive read like, a tons of manga these past few weeks. Mostly are one-shot mangas, but i cant put them all in here. Though, majority, i like what i've read.) I will just put those that arent one shot.
Kimi Ni Todoke by Shina Karuho
I've been waiting for the next chapter of this to be scanned I'm only in chapter 8. I'm really hooked with this manga. It's a shoujou manga and it revolves around a girl named Sawako, but her schoolmates are calling her Sadako because her appearance is like sadako. But for me, she's really pretty. She really is. What i love about this manga is that it's very sweet. NAKAKAKILIG TALAGA! The innocent and naive nature of sawako really makes me smile. Though she's really so dense, it doesnt make me irritated.. yet. I like how Kazehaya (the male protagonist) is being so nice and sweet and bashful at the same time towards Sawako. Yung tipong kikiligin ka kasi halatang kinikilig at the same time nahihiya si Kazehaya minsan kay Sawako. Kyaaaa. I know that their love story will still go a long way before Sawako finally realizes that she also likes Kazehaya. And I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of obstacles along the way. This manga really makes me thrilled, sad, cry, smile, laugh and syemprekilig! That's what i love about this manga. It doesn't need long sweet kisses, hugs and.. you know, so that it will be called sweet. AAAG. I can't clearly explain. Just read it. I'm sure you will also feel what i feel. The setting usually takes place in school that's why i like it. (I like mangas that has a Romance and School life genre) Did i told you that Sawako is odd and out of place in her class, in short she is being discriminated. And Kazehaya is the only one who treats her equally, that's what i love about Kazehaya. He always gives Sawako a chance to communicate with other people. Becuse of Kazehaya she made friends. Ahh, is there such a guy? :) And.. AHH. I'm giving out too much spoilers! Whatever, I recommend you to read it. The art is pretty nice too :) Damn, i would like to buy a manga of this. The price is worth it. But where?
Penguin Revolution by Sakura Tsukuba
Ahhh yes, Penguin Revolution. I also like the plot of this story! It's great, really. Plus, the guys are hot! :D The story goes like this: Yukari Fujimaru is the only daughter of a quite unreliable father, and she dreams of a more reliable future, as a public official. She has a gift: she can see the potential of a person in the form of wings on their back, and by chance she sees wings on the back of one of her schoolmates, Ryouko, who is actually Ryou, one of the male actors of the famous entertainment company PEACOCK, in disguise. When Yukari's father loses his work and flees, Ryou introduces her to PEACOCK as his manager, and a totally unexpected career starts for Yukari. Through a series of twists and turns, both Ryou and Yuka are forced to put their teamwork and trust to the test. - wikipedia. I recommend you to read this manga. It's not boring, the art is also great. It also gives you mixed emotions. And it gives me a big question mark in the love story of the manga. Is it a love triangle or what? WAA. That's why i really wanna find out what will happen next in the next chapters! Come on scanlators! But there are many parts where i was like "KYAAAA". Kilig ever! XD
Faster Than a Kissby Meca Tanaka
Fumino and her 4-year-old brother Teppei have lived with relatives since their parents died in a car accident. Tired of moving, she decides to run away and work to support her brother on her own. As they sit on a park bench, her English teacher appears in front of her and tries to convince her to go back to school. She jokingly asks him to marry her and support her and Teppei, and he agrees. -Wikipedia. This is, again, a love story. HAHA. I like those kinds of mangas. It's a student-teacher relationship, but it's okay, it doesn't give me the creeps. Well, maybe because the teacher is so hot! haha. But if it happens in real life that would be.. BLEEEEHCH *pukes* Anyway, I was also hooked in this manga because of the art and the story. It gives you the urge to know what will happen next in the story. I know, sooner or later, this manga will have malicious content. HAHA. But not too much, i know. And it's okay, it makes it even more interesting LOL! Nakakakilig din to eh! Super. CAMON SCANLATORS! Scan the next chapter!!
