Breaking Dawn

im so glad to finally finish "Breaking Dawn" of the Twilight Saga..

Through audio book..

I remember One night when I fell asleep listening to it, I dreamed of vampires and wolf..hehehe though the dream is confusing coz I don't know if I am a vampire or a wolf.. hahaha its a bit scary..but I can't remember the entire dream... so when I woke up, I laugh at my dream and never listen to it at night...hehehe

Anyway, Breaking Dawn is great..though I expect a little more actions..hehe

what they really focus there is the family ties..the family bond..and it's nice..sticking with your family..defend your family and friends..the values..
two thumbs up for Ms. Meyer..

Angels & Demons


When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol -- seared into the chest of a murdered physicist -- he discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati... the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth.

The Illuminati has surfaced from the shadows to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy... the Catholic Church.

Langdon's worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces he has hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City. With the countdown under way, Langdon jets to Rome to join forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to assist the Vatican in a desperate bid for survival.

Embarking on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year old trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair... a secret location that contains the only hope for Vatican salvation.

An explosive international thriller, ANGELS & DEMONS careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war...

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

Image by Google.com

As the 6th year of Harry Potter begun in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, an old book of Advance potions was found by Harry that gives a helpful potion tips and spells, and also contains a extremely dangerous spell. The book is property of the so-called Half Blood Prince. Horace Slughorn as their new potion teacher. While Snape (old potion teacher) is now the new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher.

The book helps Harry on all his activity in potion class. Though Hermione disagrees on him of using the book. She thinks that the book is owned by a dark wizard. They even search the name on the library but they can't find anything about the Half Blood Prince. But eventually, they will discover who is the Half Blood Prince. That the Half Blood refers to being a muggle and the Prince part refers to his mother's maiden name.

At the that instance, Harry started to feel something romantic towards Ginny Weasley (Ron's sister). Ron goes out with Lavender Brown, and Hermione gets very jealous. They fight a lot, but only because they like each other.

Dumbledore and Harry explore Voldemort's past through Dumbledore's pensive (a collection of Dumbledore's memory). They also learned about the seven Horcruxes, which is the division of Voldemort's soul. They made him immortal until such time that all of them are distroyed. Two of his soul was destroyed, including the one in Voldemort. They tried to get rid of another one but the aftermath leaves Dumbledore weak.

While Harry learned all of this, his suspicious about Draco Malfoy as Death Eater has been right. Because Draco manages to sneak Death Eaters into Hogwarts using a pair of vanishing cabinets in the room of requirements. It is well planned. And Draco's main job was to kill Dumbledore. Dumbledore being weak after their encounter in one of Voldemort's Horcrux, was easily captured by the Death Eater while Harry is being hidden in the invisible cloak. Snape turns up after Draco cannot kill Dumbledore and afterward kills Dumbledore. Draco, Snape, and the Death Eaters escape afterwards.


The death of Dumbledore resulted in Hogwarts of probably going to be closed. But Harry announces he won't be returning anyway; he will attempt to finish the work he and Dumbledore started, destroying Horcruxes so Voldemort can be destroyed.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard




The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers’ attention in the book known as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now, thanks to Hermione Granger’s new translation from the ancient runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J. K. Rowling, and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore. Never before have Muggles been privy to these richly imaginative tales: “The Wizard and the Hopping Pot,” “The Fountain of Fair Fortune,” “The Warlock’s Hairy Heart,” “Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump,” and of course, “The Tale of the Three Brothers.” But not only are they the equal of fairy tales we now know and love, reading them gives new insight into the world of Harry Potter.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer


A young Bella Swan (at 17) decided to live with her father in Forks, where mist and rain was constant.

Bella, a young girl at 17 from Phoenix, decided to live with her dad, Charlie in a small and gloomy Pacific North-West town of Forks. Forks where she doesn't expect to like it, does have her a new set of friends and settle into a new school.

As she starts the day in Forks, she was immediately intrigued by a set of students. Those students are the Cullen. Adopted children of Dr. Cullen. They are all attractive and almost inhumanly beautiful. But what she caught most of her attention was Edward Cullen. For she can't take off her eyes on him.

At first Edward is aloof, sometimes it almost seems like he can’t stand to be in the same room as her, but eventually they strike up an unlikely friendship. Even as Bella falls hopelessly and irrevocably in love with Edward, she still can’t work out exactly what makes him so different to everyone else.

Bella's friends have invited her in a trip to the beach where she was told by Jacob, a family friend, about the "cold ones". A local legend that was about a group of blood drinkers who have sworn off hunting humans but are still welcome on Indian land because vampires are not to be trusted. Realising Edward is vampire changes nothing for Bella, she knows that she still loves him even if he’s not human.

She eventually told Edward that she knows that he and his family are vampires but still she was not afraid of him and was deeply inlove with him. And she is willing to become a vampire for him.

But Edward refuses her and tell her about their stories. For Edward his love for Bella is both a delight and a torment. A delight because she is the first person he has loved since he was made a vampire. A torment because although he has sworn off human blood and only hunts animals the craving for human blood never truly leaves him and the very scent of her also stirs his hunger for blood. And the fear to loose her when a set of vampires, "the hunters", came to their town and started to hunt for bloods.
