Lauren Kate, the author of Fallen series visited the Philippines last November 5-9 for her Fallen movie promotion at SM Megamall and Glorietta also for the book signing event at National Bookstore Greenbelt 5. Lauren Kate visited together with the casts of Fallen movie Harrison Gilbertson (as "Cam") and Addison Timlin (as "Lucinda Price"). 

It was my first time to meet Lauren Kate and the experience was amazing! She's lovely and kind. I asked her while she was signing my book if she's already tired from all the people who came just to see her and have their books signed. She said to me "No, it's alright I'm actually hyped up seeing you all and thank you for being here". I told her it was my first time to see her because I wasn't able to attend her previous signings and she said "You finally made it! Thank you very much for coming".

Oh! And I was able to talk and have a picture with Harrison Gilbertson. He's really kind. I told him I knew him from Need For Speed, he said "Really? That's awesome thank you for watching". He was standing the whole time, he hugged and talked to his fans and to everyone who wants to take selfies.

AND of course, being in a book event isn't fun without my lovely friends! 

Days after the book signing was the Fallen movie premier and I am one of the lucky fans who won a movie ticket!

Title: Instructions For A Second-hand Heart
Author: Tamsyn Murray
Published: November 01, 2016
Publisher: Usborne Publishing

Jonny isn't like "normal" teenagers. Every day he wakes up in hospital, kept alive by a machine. Every day he wonders if this is the day they'll find a donor match for his heart. Every day he wonders if this is the day he'll die.

Every day, Niamh fights with her "perfect" brother Leo. Every single day, Leo wins. Every day, Niamh dreams of a life without Leo. But all that changes on the day of the accident: the day EVERYTHING falls apart.

This is a story about facing the future no matter how frightening. This is a story about healing your heart, no matter how much it hurts.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. No payments made between me and the publisher.

The first time I saw this book, I'm really curious with the story aside from that, the title and the cover is really catchy. I am glad to be able to read this one. 

Instructions for a second-hand heart broke my heart in to many pieces. The first chapters of the book already made me teary eyed, but the story is beautiful. While reading there were times that I had to put the book down because I can't stop myself to react from every surprises in the book, aside from that, it was hard to bring it down. I read it during my break time at work! LOL. I am curious with Jonny and Niamh's story, how will they end up together and what will happen to them once Niamh finds out the truth? How will Jonny tell the truth to Niamh? Will there be a happy ending or not? Those are some of the questions inside my head and I can't stop to come up for more questions.

"Sometimes it helps people if they feel as though they are making a difference in some way, no matter how large or small. Do you see?"

Even if the book has a tragic story, I cherished every part of it. I enjoyed reading this and I loved how the author wrote their story though it was a challenging one because of Jonny's case, the author researched a lot to come up with a perfect book. And because of this, I am currently under "reading slump". It was hard to go back to reading unless I'll read something that is beautiful as this book. 

"Life would be so much simpler if I could just be grateful and move on."

My Ratings

 

Hertfordshire-based writer of books. Lives with one husband, one daughter, one son, one mad chocolate labrador, one aged tabby cat, five gorgeous bunnies. Likes animals (no, really?), Marmite and messing about on stage. Dislikes spiders, celery and arrogant people.

I'm pretty sure we almost broke up last night.
I threw my phone across the room at you.
I was expecting some dramatic turn-away,
but you stayed.

This morning I said we should talk about it.
'Cause I read you should never leave a fight unresolved.
That's when you came in wearing a football helmet and said "okay, let's talk."

And I said,
Stay, stay, stay.
I've been lovin' you for quite some time, time, time.
You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad.
But I think that it's best if we both stay.

Before you, I'd only dated self-indulgent takers,
that took all of their problems out on me.
But you carry my groceries, and now I'm always laughin'.
And I love you because you have given me no choice but to:

Stay, stay, stay.
I've been lovin' you for quite some time, time, time.
You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad.
But I think that it's best if we both stay, stay, stay, stay.

You took the time to memorize me:
my fears, my hopes, and dreams.
I just like hangin' out with you, all the time.
All those times that you didn't leave;
It's been occurring to me I'd like to hang out with you, for my whole life.

Stay.
And I'll be loving you for quite some time.
No one else is going to love me, when I get mad, mad mad.
So I think that it's best if we both stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay.

Stay, stay, stay.
I've been lovin' you for quite some time, time, time.
You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad.
But I think that it's best if we both stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay.

Stay, stay, stay.
I've been lovin' you for quite some time, time, time.
You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad.
But I think that it's best if we both stay.

I've been wondering for so long what are the things that I can blog. I want to have more followers and readers that will react and comment on my blogs. I want other people to tell me something about my blog, is it nice or not? I don't know.

I keep searching on Google what should I blog but I guess most of the suggestions are the same. I want something different but I can't think of the topic.

I am thinking if I should blog about the books that I've read, about the things that I've found over the internet and the places I've been, but the third one is a little bit hard because I don't go out that much now.

Oh well, I believe someday I can find a nice topic for this blog. :)


Thank you everyone! hope there will be suggestions too! :D

Every people are different, their other attitude are so different even if it's related to you. People are sometimes harsh. I really don't understand them, I really don't understand why is it hard to understand some small things, to some people when you say something and it is not nice for them it will be a big deal. Why do some people don't ask why he/she said that in a nice way? you can always approach people anyway however they will use their pride and their angry heart. I can't understand why don't some people understand the situation first? Is it really hard to think first? or ask first nicely? I don't understand.

We can be always calm right? We can always ask in a nice way even if we feels so mad to someone. It is possible right? I don't understand some of the people, everything is a big deal for them and they're so hot-headed person.

Put your lips close to mine as long as they don’t touch
Out of focus, eye to eye; til the gravity’s too much
And I’ll do anything you say, if you say it with your hands
And I’d be smart to walk away, but you’re quicksand
This slope is treacherous, this path is reckless
This slope is treacherous, and I, I, I like it
I can’t decide if it’s a choice, getting swept away
I hear the sound of my own voice asking you to stay
And all we are is skin and bone, trained to get along
Forever going with the flow, but you’re friction
This slope is treacherous, this path is reckless
This slope is treacherous, and I, I, I like it
Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
And I will get you, get you alone
Your name has echoed through my mind
And I just think you should, think you should know
That nothing safe is worth the drive
And I would follow you, follow you home
I’d follow you, follow you home
This hope is treacherous, this daydream is dangerous
This hope is treacherous, I, I, I,
I, I, I
I, I, I
Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
And I will get you, get you alone
Your name has echoed through my mind
And I just think you should, think you should know
That nothing safe is worth the drive
And I will follow you, follow you home
I’d follow you, follow you home
I’d follow you, follow you home
I’d follow you, follow you home
This slope is treacherous, I, I, I like it

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you’re already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn so bright just before they lose it all

Losing him was blue, like I’d never known
Missing him was dark gray, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you’ve never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red

Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there’s no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong

Losing him was blue, like I’d never known

Missing him was dark gray, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red, oh red, burning red

Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it’s time now gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible when I still see it all in my head in burning red
Burning, it was red

Losing him was blue, like I’d never known
Missing him was dark gray, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you’ve never met
Cause loving him was red, yeah yeah red, burning red

And that’s why he’s spinning around in my head
Comes back to me in burning red
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street

I’m walking fast through the traffic lights
Busy streets and busy lives
And all we know is touch and go
We alone with our changing minds
We fall in love till it hurts or bleeds, or fades in time

And I never saw you coming
And I’ll never be the same

You come around and the armor falls
Pierce the room like a cannon ball
Now all we know, is don’t let go
We are alone just you and me
Up in your room and our slates are clean
Just twin fire signs, four blue eyes

So you were never a saint
And I love the shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mostly of broken hearts
But this love is raging and wild

And I never saw you coming
And I’ll never be the same again

This is a state of grace
This is a worth while fight
Love is a ruthless game
Unless you play it good and right
These are the hands of fate
You’re my Achilles heel
This is the golden age of something good
And right and real

And I never saw you coming
And I’ll never be the same
