"I don't have a favourite book.

I have hundreds."

 Now it's time to post FAVOURITE BOOKS OF 2015!!!!!

Like every good blogger, I'll link every Goodreads information of the books below their images and so LET'S GO!~

Also, disclaimer;
Some of my favourite books weren't publish this year. I just read them this year of 2015.

_***_

My favourite books are;

1. Forgive Me Leonard Peacock.

Goodreads: Book Description

THIS BOOK. RUINED ME.

I stayed up until 5 AM to finishing this book. I couldn't put it down. I didn't want to put it down. Reading this book taught me so much. Life goes on. Its your own decision everyday to make sure yourself happy. Killing yourself will not solve problems.

And its okay to be afraid of growing up. Like Leonard, I'm afraid too. Like him, I don't want to grow old and have a lousy job and being grumpy all the time.

Such a good book.

2. Blue Lily, Lily Blue



First Book info: The Raven Boys

3rd book of The Raven Cycle Series!!!!!!!!

RONAN LYNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\

MY BOYSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

This probably my favourite among the three that came out. This book just came together and it was so BEAUTIFUL!!! The characters' developments, the storyline, the myth surrounding the series its just so eerie and mysterious. Maggie's writing is so quirky and you just couldn't help to wanting to know more about the amazing, amazing characters in the series.
(I am forever Ronan Lynch's trash).

____________________________________________________________

3. Ignite Me



First Book info: Shatter Me

One sentence;

WARNER IS MY PERFECT HUSBAND I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM.

I'll recommend Shatter Me trilogy to people who enjoy character growth since this book is VERY character base. The writing is beauty, the story is addicting, the characters are AMAZING.
(Especially my love, Warner).

______________________________________________________________________

4. Cruel Beauty

Book Info: Fakking Ignifex

I JUST.....I CANT....MY HEART.

A retailing of Beauty and The Beast. FUCKED ME UP SO BAD.

When I finished it, I just want it more. The main character was real, she wasn't pure. She was honestly cruel and I love her because of that. And her relationship with the 'beast' of the story, OHMYGOSH so damn gothic and cruel its a beauty (lol the puns)
____________________________________________________________________

5. The Serpent's Shadow



First Book Info: The Red Pyramid

Holy KARTER KANE

Holy ANUBIS

I learned SO MUCH about Egyptians Mythology reading the trilogy. To be honest, books by Rick Riordan are aLL AMAZING. It promises you adventures, self discovery and love.

(I missed Leo Valdez my baby, dear Lord)

______________________________________________________________

6. Between The Lines.

Book info: tHIS IS REAL. THIS IS mE.

Have you ever wondered what happens when you close a book? 

Do the characters stay frozen?

Do they play chess on the beach?

Do they rehearse their lines and try on outfits?

Do they gossip about characters and munch on snacks?

Or do they long to escape their 'happily ever after'?

If you have a favourite fictional character, reading this book is like reading about yourself. I cried so hard after finishing it, It just that...I felt it and it felt real. 

________________________________________________________________________

7. Queen of Shadows



First Book Info: Throne of Glass

Favourite book that came out so far. This series, I swEAR, it just gets better and better. You will fall in love with the characters, their backstories, the WORLD!!
Did I mention the world in this series?!
AMAZING WORLD BUILDING!
(Also my son, Dorian Havilliard and my other child, Rowan).

________________________________________________________________

8. Golden Son



First Book Info: Red Rising more like me CRYING

The first book is so bloodydamn GOOD. And Golden Son is SUPER BLOODYDAMN GOOD.

Darrow is like you child that you always worried cause he always did things without a proper planning that even he didn't feel confident with. Every time he did something in this book I'm jus- so CHILD, BE STRONG AND STAY ALIVE.

The hierarchy in the series and the fact that it was on SPACE, makes it 100000x more exciting. I just really love this series. I cried a lot and I smiled alot when reading it.

Like I said, BLOODYDAMN GOOD.

______________________________________________________________________

9. Siege and Storm



First Book Info: Shadow and Bone aka OMG GRISHA

Suprisingly, I enjoyed the sequal more I enjoyed the last one
My favourite part of this book.

Thing I dislike;
a. Mal
b. Mal's atitude throughout this entire book
c. MAL

It's weird that how oddly fixated I am with this strange series and how invested I am in it despite lukewarm pacing and plotting and holes in the world-building. Leigh Bardugo is amazing with characters it just THEY'RE SO SO AMAZING.

Especially The Darkling, my son T__T

Honorable Mentions

 Since these books are the first book in their respectable series, I couldn't say that I love these books. I still need more strong bond for me to be in love with a series. 

Since too, I've read a lot of good first books in series, I would like to put them in honorable mentions;


10.  The Wrath of The Dawn



Goodreads info: KHALID

A romantic an fierce retailing of 1001 Arabian Nights and it was so ADDICTING.

________________________________________________________________

11. Ember in The Ashes.

I fucking love this book and maybe my favourite this year.

Just READ RICK RIORDAN'S BOOKS.
__________________________________________________________________

And last but not least

My MOST favourite book of 2015 is;

*drum rolls*



Tiger Lily

You don't get it.
People don't get it. How much emotionally invested I was to this form of literature.

I read this book when I was in state of depression and it did help me get through my life a lot better. After finishing this, I kept thinking about it. It's such an important book in the part of my life and I will cherish it until I'm old. (I have to buy the hardcover cause the book is in my phone sighhhhhh)

I devoured this book like I devoured food. This book is a drug, no kidding. It's beautiful and sad, and heartbreaking, and lovely and amazing.

This book's version of Peter Pan, drove me crazy. I felt...in love with him. Peter sliced to my soul and it hurt me until now. Sometimes, he mad me just....speechless. At one point, I just had to set the book down and cry in a corner.

 I fell in love with Peter the way Tiger Lily did, and the moment you get to see him past everything--his exterior, his defenseless self--it's like having someone very, very carefully cut your heart out. It hurts, obviously, but it's also satisfying.

Or maybe, I'm just a sucker for this kind of story, who knows, right?

Anyhow,
I FLIPPING LOVE THIS EFFING BOOK OKAY.
____________________________________________________________________

That's all for my Favourite Books of 2015 :3
Hope this post help you finding your favourite books too.

Before I leaving this post, because when I post this I'll be OFFICIALLY 18 (Yass legal age to watching 18+ movies)

I'll share this quote from TIGER LILY;

“Sometimes I think that maybe we are just stories. Like we may as well just be words on a page, because we're only what we've done and what we are going to do.” 




- Amni Out!

I've watched A LOT of K-dramas for the past few months and I have no regrets.

So, lets talk about KOREAN DRAMAS!!!!

It has been a long long time since I watched K dramas this religiously.

In 2014, I barely watch any dramas at all. The last time, I remember, was 2013 that I watched The Master's Sun and that was it. (that drama is my life though)

So, let's start!~

***

I was bored and depressed on my first sem okay so I didn't know why, Kill Me Heal Me suddenly came up in my head and I started to watched it.

Level of Obsession: SUPER OBSESSED

______________________________

A traumatic childhood experience causes third-generation chaebol Cha Do-hyun to have memory lapses, and his personality fractures into seven different identities. He tries to regain control over his life and is treated secretly by Oh Ri-jin, a first-year psychiatry resident, who eventually falls in love with him.

_______________________________

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS DRAMA SO MUCH!!!!

I have always been interested in Multiple Personality Disorders and other psychology mental cases.

And this drama cover this mental illness SO GREAT I AM IMPRESS!

I  L O V E the plotline. 

Every secret that has been hidden for so long throughout this drama either make you shocked or fall in love with this drama more deeper. The interaction between Cha Do Hyun and the other main characters are both funny and sad. Especially when Cha Do Hyun's  other personalities surface I was either crying and bulging my eyes out from laughing.

My favourite personality is literAlly

SHIN SE GI.
MY SPIRIT ANIMAL.

***

Then I started to watched Protect The Boss

Level of Obsession: MAX MILD

_____________________________________

Cha Ji-heon is an incredibly immature young man who is useless at his job as a director at DN Group, where the chairman is his father.

Determined not to be fired from her first professional job, Eun-seol works diligently at putting up with Ji-heon's childishness and keeping him in check. As their working relationship progresses, they earn each other's trust and friendship, and Eun-seol helps Ji-heon deal with his phobias and prove himself capable of becoming DN Group's successor. Things get more complicated when Ji-heon falls in love with Eun-seol....

_________________________________

I watched this drama back in 2013 but I stopped watching it halfway for no reason at all. This drama if full of funny scenes and cuteness I feel so bad for the main girl to take care these rich people hahahahaha. And the fact that Ji Heon is so straightforward amused me.

***

Then on my finals month (lol me and my priorities) I watched Fated To Love You.

Level of Obsession: SUPER OBSESSED

_________________________________

An eccentric and kind-hearted chaebol heir and a meek, yet principled "post-it" girl decide to marry after their unintended one-night stand results in an unexpected pregnancy

___________________________________

To be honest with you guys, I was not intrigued at all when I read about the plot. I watched it because it has 8.0/10 in IMBD and this drama had Jang Nara (I loved her in Babyfaced Beauty)

And I watched Fated to Love You and guess what??

I FLIPPING IN LOVE WITH THIS DRAMA!

Mainly because, I love the main guy, Gun. He was so funny, especially his laugh XD and he's such a noble character. He's responsible, he's super funny and I want a Gun too I don't care if he's not handsome. He was great and I think because of him, this drama became great too.

I still thinking about this drama even when I finished it.

JUST. WATCH. IT.

***

I finished The Time We Weren't In Love in two days and I didn't sleep.

______________________________

Oh Ha-na and Choi Won are both 34 years old and have been best friends since high school. For the past seventeen years they have been present for every milestone in each other's lives; but, through missed timing, a romance has never developed between them.

__________________________

You don't get it. How much I love this drama. FRIENDSHIP LOVE HAS NEVER BEEN THIS BEAUTIFUL.

Every struggles these two had they still would stick together. You don't know how much my heart hurt every time I was rooting for them to be together. You don't know how many times their chemistry made me so happy. You don't how many times I was drooling over Choi Won when he was wearing his stewardess uniform. A lot actually lOL.

***

And then I wanted to watch a little paranormal drama, so I watched Oh My Ghostess.

Level of Obsession: I AM OBSESSED HELP

___________________________________

Na Bong-sun has an extremely timid personality and low self-esteem, doesn't have any close friends, and is constantly getting reprimanded at her job as an assistant chef at Sun Restaurant. She also occasionally sees ghosts, thanks to a shaman grandmother. One day, Bong-sun gets possessed by a lustful virgin ghost named Shin Soon-ae. 

To make up for the lack of romance in her short life and believing that only by losing her virginity will she be able to "resolve her grudge" and move on to the afterlife, Soon-ae is determined to seduce as many men as she can by possessing various women, and she finds the perfect vessel in Bong-sun.

____________________________________

I was literally SHOCKED when I know how ghost died. 

I didn't expected that. This drama is so good and Na Bong-sun character is so adorable and when she was possessed she was so flirty and when she made Kang Woo uncomfortable I was giggling SO HARD in my room. 

***

Bless YouTube cause I could watch Cunning Single Lady.

 (Forever regret for not watching it nine years ago) and I'm obsessing over Lee Shin like crazy :3

When I was a kid, I really didn't like Princess Hours since I enjoyed the boy version of this drama more. I finally watched this drama last Thursday and okay, I LOVE IT!!

I'm currently watching She Was Pretty, and I'm not okay cause I'm in love with the second male lead :'))
Kim Hey Jin made me laugh so so hard since the first episode.
(Shin Hyuk is so fun okay don't blame me for like him more than Seo Joong)




and, Sassy, Go! Go! cause there's Hakyeon (VIXX) in it but I'M FALLING IN LOVE WITH KIM YEOL HELP.



There's always something with K-dramas that make them so addictive and I just, ughhhhh I need to get my life together and continue watch all the tv shows and animes that I've been delayed on watching.


Bye for now!~
- Amni

Yay, Amni finally back in da blog! 

(I had a writer's block I'm sorry)

So, since I finished my parts in my assignments and shitload of Powerpoints and Words, I finally have a short stress-free time to blog cause I also finished my midterms just the other day lol.

Cheap Makeup...?

What come to girls' minds when the word 'cheap makeup' came up?

Ah, yes!

Pharmacy/Drugstore!!

I know some drugstores' makeup products are expensive but I'm gonna consider it as a whole since some makeup sell in drugstores are cheap and gOOD.

1. Lips Essentials

But if you want an EXCELLENT mascara; Use 'They're Real' by Benefit that cost around RM 78 for a small one...

But, I did heard that the best affordable mascara is from Maybelline which it's true cause my mom used to owned one and I used to wear it. 

Eye shadow

Not gonna deny, I love branded eye-shadow palette. I love nude colours especially. Like Urban Decay's Nude (especially the 1st and Too-face Chocolate that I WANT TO BUY)

To be honest with you guys, I never found a good, cheap eye-shadow palette in my life. The cheap ones aren't tinted and it doesn't stay long and I'm frustrated about it.

I'm currently using Meet Matt(e) by theBalm

Isn't Matt(e) HOT?! lol

I love my eyeshadow, it does have some flaws but the colours are warm and I wear it everyday to class looking badass.

I usually don't wear blusher, foundation and such cause I don't feel comfortable covering up my pores...

For me, the most important thing in makeup isn't how much it cost, it's the quality of it. I love lipsticks that stay long and moisturize, eyeliners that actually doesn't piss me off every time I wear it, tinted and warm colours of eyeshadow.

Quality over price, am I right?

And I'm also a cheapskate okay, I admit it.

Skincare tips:

People I know always say that I have a nice skin (welp, thanks by the way...) but actually my mom taught me a lot on taking care of my skin so here some tips;

1. For people between the ages 12-16,

avoid using foundation or anything that will cover up your pores.

You're still young, you don't need to cake-up your face cause your skin at that time need to breathe and for you to cover your pores, I'm not kidding, you will regret when you get older. 

^ Words from my mom.

2. Before applying makeup, washed your face first, then apply toner & moisturizer, also sunblock cream since this country is super hot it's annoying.

3. NEVER SLEEP WEARING MAKEUP.

4. Wash your face carefully after a long day wearing makeup. Wash all those stain thoroughly and apply moisturizer when you're about to go to sleep.

5. Seriously, just watch Korean dramas, look at them taking care of their skin. 

6. Eat healthy foods. Like soy that contains collagen.

^Words by my mom that I never follow...

And lastly,

Wear makeup if you want to. Don't wear makeup if you don't want to. Wear makeup because you want to feel confidence and fuck all those assholes who judge you. Makeup is a form of art, and you're a white canvas are about to be paint with colourful colours.

You do you.

I hope the things I wrote help girls and boys who love makeup.

I found these questions on tumblr and since I'm such a sucker for paranormal creatures;

LET'S DO THIS!

1. Vampire: Someone offers you a chance at immortality. Do you take it, and why or why not?

- I don't know if I want immortality or not because first of all, Immortality sounds great if I choose it, I mean like, I could live longer and stay young and probably be rich too since it's awesome. But, I don't want immortality cause I don't want growing old and wise without aging and see how the world will fuck up as if it hasn't been already. 

2. Werewolf: If you had to spend your life with just one person, who would it be?

- If I would want to spend the rest of my life with only person then the answer is probably myself. It gets lonely, it will, but I could take it.

3. Witch: If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?

- DESTROY RACISM, STEREOTYPES, STEREOTYPES AGAINST WOMEN, DESTROY SOCIAL HIERARCHY AND HEADING TO A MORE PEACEFUL WORLD (this is count as one so deal with it)

4. Ghost: Do you have any regrets?

- I do have regrets. Not a lot, but it does make me depressed sometimes thinking about it.

5. Frankenstein: Is someone telling you how to live your life, or are you an independent person?

- I personally think that I'm an independent person, but I do need someone by my side to shook me up to my senses once in a while,

6. Mummy: If you were to fall into an eternal sleep, do you think anyone would miss you?

- I hope so. I don't care that I will miss by many, as long the people who do miss me, I hope they miss me deeply.

7. Zombie: Do you miss anyone right now?

- Yes, I just wish my life just turn around to right places sometimes but it would not happen like that, so....

8. Faerie: If you could get away with anything, what would you do?

- I would cheat and get good grades man, and cheat in job interviews, I would do anything for my future sake if I can get away from anything.

9. Nymph: What are you like when you’re by yourself?

- I appreciate silence a lot. I'm very quite and my mind is very loud. I would probably read books, draw or watch a movie.

10. Mermaid: How far would you go to keep the one you love?

- I would go as far if I had to but, if they acted that they don't need me and walk away, I would let it go without regrets. Sure, I would be sad but, when someone leaves me when I loved them, they didn't even love you at first, so, let go.

11. Shapeshifter: What would you change about yourself?

- I would change myself in the confidence factor cause I lack of confidence.

12. Banshee: If you knew one of your loved ones/best friends had only one day left to live, how would you spend that last day with them?

- I don't know. I would probably cry first cause it would be our last day spend together. We could talk and make memories. But, I don't know actually, I would feel so empty if that happen.

13. Siren: If you could make anyone do anything, what would you make them do?

- I just ask them to stop being ignorant cause the world doesn't revolve around them (Those three people, please take note cause you're piece of shit (: )

14. Genie:If you had one wish that would come true and couldn’t be reversed, what would you ask for?

- I would ask for three wishes.

First wish is for wealth and security

Second is confidence and intelligence

Third is for my favourite fictional characters come to life and love me as I love them (I'm not kidding)

15. Fury: What is a word/phrase that you dread to hear?

- "You're matter. I love you, I love every part of you and oh, I wish that I could spend time with you for eternity and kiss you everyday and grow more in love with you every second. " 

- probably never happen.

16. Incubus: What would someone have to do to get in your pants?

- First of all, love me with passion, and then we will get marry. Done.

17. Succubus: What’s one thing you can’t live without?

- I couldn't live without art. Music, films, art, languages, poetry, food, ART.

BYE BYE

So, it was Friday and it was early.

My sister and I, we went to a bookish adventures~~~

First, we met with my sister's friend, who also a book lover, they were planning on making a video since my sister and her are booktubers, (From Malaysia yo!) and her friend, (Nabilah) are going to study abroad soon.

We went to Borders, The Curve, and I was surprised.

They upgraded the Young Adults section!
