stars & books

I read this book for 2.5 hours, that is what moon+ reader said. That's the fastest book I've read so far and I am in awe on myself. So this book made me stay up all night just to finish it therefore it's great. I made mo go 'HUHUHUHUHU' LOL!

Naila’s conservative immigrant parents have always said the same thing: She may choose what to study, how to wear her hair, and what to be when she grows up—but they will choose her husband. Following their cultural tradition, they will plan an arranged marriage for her. And until then, dating—even friendship with a boy—is forbidden. When Naila breaks their rule by falling in love with Saif, her parents are livid. Convinced she has forgotten who she truly is, they travel to Pakistan to visit relatives and explore their roots. But Naila’s vacation turns into a nightmare when she learns that plans have changed—her parents have found her a husband and they want her to marry him, now! Despite her greatest efforts, Naila is aghast to find herself cut off from everything and everyone she once knew. Her only hope of escape is Saif . . . if he can find her before it’s too late.

After reading a bunch of fantasy novels I was craving for something contemporary, something that is realistic and I can relate to. I was searching for a book to read on my phone and I saw this book, I looked it up on goodreads and I instantly remembered how I wanted to read this book.

I know I am not tagged to do this, but who cares? This is my blog! LOL! I thought this would be a fun post to do because I get to answer some question, which I love because I do not know I just like it, with books. There will be tons of tags I will do in the next few days or weeks, but for now I will post this Social Media book tag.

I've been wanting to read this series ever since I first saw it on goodreads, I already has an ebook and was ready to just dive into it but I stumbled upon some booktubers who said that this book is so amazing so I restrained myself from reading it on my phone because I wanted my own copy of it. After a few months I decided to read it because I can't seem to save enough money for this book and whenever I have money I forget about it. Why am I telling you this? Read on and you'll know.

I read this series after a few days when I bought the whole trilogy in a sale. It was sold for only 250 php, or roughly 5 dollars. I immediately bought it because it was so cheap, my had is itching to buy a book and I fell in love with the covers.

To avoid some spoilers I will just paste down below the blurb of the first book, which is switched.

I already made a post like this on my old blog, but I think I deleted it, this is a post about how or when did I start reading. I will do what I can to tell it as accurately as what I experienced in my life, although some memories are a bit blurry.

My story will start when I first started going to school when I was around 5 to 6 years old. I was a shy kid and I barely talk, I can’t even understand when people talk to me in Tagalog because my Mom trained me to speak English, so my Mom hired a tutor for me. Everyday after class, instead of playing with my friends, I go to my teacher who is also my tutor and spend my time trying to learn all sorts of things and do my assignments but our main focus is me learning to read.
