I don't like this. I feel so naked reading this book. It's like a reflection of a life I have never ever lived if He was never been there for me, because of Him, someone so much greater than me who guides and directs me to where I should go. If He was not there I would have been like Maria, a girl with dreams, so eager to embark to any adventure life in store for her and marry the prince charming she always yearned for, be married with the man she was destined to be with for the rest of her life.
I was Maria, I think, some part of me is Maria. She represents us, women, some tiny bit parts of her life in this story, Eleven Minutes, is without a doubt a representation of what we aspire and experience in our lives. When she met Ralf Hart, it made all the difference. The tragedy that was about to fall to Maria vanished upon his existence in her life. He saved her. Just like how she saved him. They compliment each other. In his weakness, she was his strength. In her darkness, he was her light.
This book has mature contents, not to be recommended to young minds who aren't yet ready to face one of the many realities in life, specifically the harsh ones. There is something redemptive in this story, and that is for you to discover once you read and finish this book. This is a love story, the kind of love you can discover in all facets of life.
When Will You Choose Me? is my third book by Neil Jed Castro. His style of poetry does not have rhyming per se, and his works are poetic in their own way. I also posted a little about his two other books that I already read here.
I was thinking how should I say it, but this recent work of his is somewhat not that appealing to me compared to the first two books I read from him. The contents are quite shorter than the other two: Maybe You'll Love Me When I'm Gone and What If It's Too Late. I feel bitin after reading When Will You Choose Me? I was expecting more since the first two set a standard of my expectations.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading this book. It reminded me of the mistakes and good things I made and still doing in the present. I got to reminisce the time when I did not choose myself. Sometimes there is beauty in choosing and not choosing yourself, and we have to be reminded that everything is a double-edged sword just like that in choosing ourselves, there will always be consequences. I hope you make the right choice of choosing yourself, and that it makes you happy.
This is my first book from Joena San Diego. She was recommended to me through a comment on my Youtube channel. I got interested, yet months have already passed before I got this book from a sale on an online shop.
I was expecting something poetic like the ones I read from Lang Leav and Dawn Lanuza. Though my expectation was not met, Letters of Solana did not fail to invoke feelings, the good ones, in me. It is poetic in its own way. It's inspiring and refreshing at the same time. It talks about forgiveness and redemption. It's spiritual and realistic. I am blessed to have read this book. Every letter in this book hits the right spot, a gentle reminder to anyone who struggles in this race called life. I highly recommend this book if you are seeking something spiritual and realistic that may bring some realization in your troubled mind, this is the one.
Fun. Intriguing. Exciting. Good. And evil.
Chantal Prym is a young woman who lives in the small town of Viscos. He met the stranger who brought along with a devil.
The cruelty and injustice in the world occur in everyone's life every now and then like it is a normal thing to happen in our everyday life. The good and evil dwell in us fights to see who wins and takes the ground of petty humans like me. This eternal battle between good and evil has been taking so long and sometimes I ask God when is this going to end. When are we going to be freed from traps set by the devil so we can fall to sin again and again? And that makes him happy. Taking us with him to his fall and condemnation, he wants us, the humans so loved by God, to befall on the same horrible fate he is destined to end with because of his greed and jealousy.
...for it wasn't a temptation, it was a trap.
