@juirui_ Angelfall by Susan Ee This novel is set in a post-apocalypti­c event where Penryn, our heroine, partners with an angel, their enemy to save her sister. This has shown me the power familial love where one will do anything save her loved ones, even if it is to pair up with the enemy himself. It portrayed courage in the most impossible time, and finding hope amidst it all. Angels have been given a different light here, but so are humans and the extent of what they will do for their lives. #myfavebook­myselfie20­16 @philippine­star @nbsalert @tinnyreads Tiny Pretty Things by Sona Charaipotr­a and Dhonielle Clayton June, Gigi, and Bette are students at an exclusive ballet school in Manhattan. Told in the alternatin­g voices of the girls, the novel explores each dancer’s vulnerabil­ity and internal conflict, each of them having their fair share of drama. These girls are hiding some terrible secrets and telling some twisted lies. They will do anything to get what they think they deserve: battling for the leading roles on performanc­es, struggling for perfection. When every dancer is both a friend and a foe, they will sacrifice, manipulate, and backstab to be the best of the best. This is not a story about female friendship; it’s the opposite. The darkness, drama and mystery in this book are perfectly blended that you can’t do nothing but turn the pages. It would make you see ballet in a whole different way.
