My Book Collection as of the end of 2012.

WARNING: This would be a very long post consisting of pictures of all the books I own and have gathered from way back up to the end of the year.

Since the new bookshelf that my mom bought me arrived today, I just thought that it’s fitting to dust all of my books before I re-stack them. It was a very tedious job and that it took me 4 hours to finish them all. And so to start of the new year, I have all my clean books to show you, guys. (maybe, in the future, I’ll sell them or put ass giveaway. MAYBE.)

• Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling Hardbound + Paperback (the missing ones are out, borrowed by my cousins)

• Secret Series by Pseudonymous Bosch

• The Mortal Instruments & The Infernal Devices Series by Cassandra Clare (different sizes which mean they’re given as gifts. haha)

• Percy Jackson & The Olympians Series by Rick Riordan

• The Mysterious Benedict Society Series by Trenton Lee Stewart

• A Song of Ice and Fire Series by George R.R. Martin (I have yet to buy the not-movie-tie-in edition of the first book)

• The Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins

• John Green books

• David Levithan books and his collab works with Rachel Cohn

Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan

Imagine meeting your special person in one of the aisles of your favorite bookstore. It must have been the ultimate fairytale a bookworm could ever hope for. And that’s basically how Dash and Lily’s story unravels, only with a little twist.

As a regular venturer at The Strand, a ginormous bookshop, book-geek Dash was surprised to find a quirky little addition wedged in between two books of his favorite author at his particularly favorite aisle. Out of plain curiosity, he took the red notebook and opened it to find a series of tasks written by another person named Lily.

On the first page was a dare directed to anyone who has time, enough passion for literature and an ample amount of craziness to comply. With all these, Dash went out of his way and started playing the game by accomplishing the first task. This first move became what seemed to be the ticket to a different yet interesting journey of a strange kind of friendship.

For days, Dash and Lily would pass the red notebook back and forth, at various place, with new dares and challenges written on it. With each round, they got to know each other better. And in those conversations on pieces of paper, they found solace in each others’ woven words. 

But words and phrases can only get you so far. Yes, they might have the same interest in books and prose but that doesn’t guarantee that their entire personalities match. It’s so easy to lie using words and hide behind pretentious facades. 

What if the actual Lily wasn’t like the deep, kind and thoughtful one in Dash’s mind? And would the smart, soothing and friendly Dash in Lily’s head be the same as the real version? What would happen if these two people meet and their expectations aren’t met? Do they stick with the fairytale they started or would they just drift apart, letting go of that strange connection?

This is the third book from the Cohn-Levithan collaboration, and it is the second one I’ve read after Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List. Given that kind of premise, how could I not pick up this book? I mean, duh, that would definitely be my kind of fairy tale!

Reading this book, I became much more attached to Dash than to Lily. I see myself in him because we share the same sentiment. I like being alone and I believe that certain holidays are overrated. I also find company in books and like him, I very much enjoy time without my parents.

Lily can be described as quite the opposite, being all bubbly and family-oriented and pet-loving. And I guess that’s the reason why I find it hard to like her character. To me, she seemed an over-the-top goody two-shoes to the point of annoying. She seemed so unrealistic to me. I know this may be due to her issues but still, her character irritates me.

Now, let’s get to the story. At first I was enjoying how they exchange dares and challenges.  I also liked how their friendship started in a very old-fashioned way. I mean, how many people get to meet others in form of writing, and not through texts, social networking sites and the likes? I was eagerly anticipating the next games and I was impatiently waiting for when and how they would actually meet. But that feeling was cut short with an anti-climactic first encounter. I wouldn’t say the details but I can assure you that it wasn’t how I expected their first meeting to be.

From that moment on, my interest with the book diminished. Not fully giving up, I thought things would turn around as I neared the ending but it seemed like the story slipped too far away from the original concept. It’s like the adventure was cut short and another story was attached as the continuation.

Overall, it was a nice story, good for one-time reading. Yes, I might have been disappointed to some extent but when I look at the bigger picture, it’s a sweet story that will make you giddy and hope that someday the same could happen to you. It may get your hopes up in meeting that one person. The story may help readers keep their faith or somehow strengthen it, but not for me. It has a number of hilarious parts and silly events that would make you laugh out loud. I also like the references made about Hermione Granger, Buddy Holiday, and Marie Howe. It was fun and quirky, new concept of getting-to-know. But then again, to me, Dash and Lily’s story was just too good to be true. (or maybe I’m just a bitchy pessimist at that matter). I give it a 3.5/5.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green & David Levithan

My name is Bernadette Grace and in all eighteen years of my existence, I have known a lot of people with the same name. Not exactly my whole name, but usually my first and second names. I usually do not mind since I know I am different from each one of them. I have come to accept that my name is a very general and common one. So far, none of my namesakes have been significant in my life.

But in this book, two Will Graysons will meet by chance and will bring an important piece to each of the other’s puzzle of life. The first Will Grayson is the very honest embodiment of a teenager. And this does not mean a drunk, pot-dependent and irresponsible person. No. Will Grayson is a very confused person. Just like other teenagers his age, he battles with what he wants and the possible consequences of these desires. One moment he is pushing for something and in the next, he’s holding back. Despite this, Will Grayson is a good friend. 

And then here’s the second Will Grayson. This one is a bit darker compared to the former Will Grayson. This is due to the circumstances he grappled with in his life. With his father’s death and the depression he is living with, it is obvious that this Will Grayson is the quiet and secretive one. But though he is like this, he is not entirely on the bad end. Yes, he may not be over with the loss of his dad, but he is not lost in his own grief, either. Also, his depression is in a state in which it is manageable. It is not eating him up, he can survive with it. 

One night in Chicago, the two crossed paths and little did they know, this meeting will have a huge impact on each of their lives. The common denominator of these two Will Graysons is Tiny Cooper. Without this certain character, I guess the novel would suck. He is just very vital to the whole plot. He is the connection between these two different people and he, himself is a very unique and intelligent person. Tiny is someone who believes in making everyone’s life happier and better every day. His outlook in life is very positive despite every heartbreak and failure he has faced.

This novel is a collaboration of the two greatest authors in the world of young adult literature. I have read other books of John Green and David Levithan, and I can say that they did very well on this one. Being familiar with their writing styles, it’s very easy for me to distinguish which Will Grayson is written by them. The first one was by John Green, while the other is by David Levithan. Their characters just shout their writing identity. Green’s Will is his typical character, an oddball, lovesick and average. Levithan’s Will, on the other hand, is geeky, homosexual and dim-witted. I do prefer Levithan’s character, though. As to why, just read the book and you’ll know by the end.

As for the whole appeal of the book, I can say that it would be a very enticing read for everyone, regardless of gender or age. One thing it tells us, like all of Levithan’s novels is how the LGBTQ community is a human as any straight person. It tells us that they have the same problems and they also have genuine feelings. Aside from the homosexual theme, the book also focused very much on friendship. To me, Will and Tiny’s friendship is something very difficult to come across nowadays. I am so envious of how they can put each other’s differences, which is actually quite a lot, and just be there for each other. It’s like one person is the strength of the other, vice versa. The honesty in their friendship is just so enviable. And then of course, there is the issue of familial acceptance, not only the acceptance of gender but also the quirkiness of each of the members. 

In conclusion, I have to say that this is by far the most hilarious, most unique and original book I have read. It’s just so honest with the depiction of teenage life in general. Although, the musical part of the books is quite absurd, it doesn’t lessen the brilliance of the story. In fact, the whole musical thing got me laughing loudly and in the next, brimming with tears. Truly, this book deserves my 4.75/5.

Guys, I need your help again. I’m almost done reading John Green’s Will Grayson, Will Grayson and I just am staring at my bookshelf not knowing what on earth to read next. Will you help me choose between these babies?

• Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
• Blood Red Road by Moira Young
• Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami
• Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan
• Blindness by Jose Saramago

I trust you to pick out the best guys! Thank you in advance. :)

For now, I’ll just continue re-watching Doctor Who with the tenth Doctor. Just because I want to see David Tennant’s brilliance once again.
