PSLE Orals on Friday and Thursday

*Sigh*.
Exams are around the corner. But at least it's the last lap. Hwaiting! or AJA!! (that means 'fighting' in korean)
Here's a book recommendation: Total Constant Order by Crissa-jean Chappell.(:
Summary: Fin can't stop counting. She's always heard a voice inside her head, ordering her to listen, but ever since she's moved to the Sunshine State and her parents split up, numbers thump like a metronome, rhythmically keeping things in control. When a new doctor introduces terms such as "clinical depression" and "OCD" and offers a prescription for medication, the chemical effects make Fin feel even more messed up. Until she meets Thayer, a doodling, rule-bending skater who buzzes to his own beat—and who might just understand Fin's hunger to belong, and her struggle for total constant order.

Like it? It's AWEsome. Seriously. It even won The Voya Editor's Choice Award. I read it and I say, it should get a 5 star review.
Some other books recommended by my besties: Threads by Sophia Bennett... Summary: Fashion fairy tales really can happen. Nonie, Edie and Jenny are best friends with very individual tastes. Nonie's a real trend setter and her passion is fashion. Humanitarian Edie is on a mission to save the world. And budding actress Jenny has just landed a small part in a Hollywood blockbuster. But when these three friends meet a young African refugee called Crow, sketching a dress at the Victoria and Albert Museum, they discover a common passionnd somehow find a way to make all of their dreams come true.
Another one?? Oh My Gods by Terra Lynn Childs... Summary: When Phoebe Castro is forced to move to a Greek island after her mother decides to remarry, her life is shattered. She must leave behind her two best friends and her hopes of receiving a track scholarship to USC. To make things even worse, her stepfather, evil stepsister, and all of the residents of Serfopoula for that matter are not what one would call normal. They are all descendants of Greek gods and goddesses. Phoebe must learn to adjust to her new lifestyle and high school, all while learning about herself and finding a new path to travel. Quick, lighthearted, and bursting with Greek mythology, OH. MY. GODS. is perfect for those carefree summer days, or anytime one needs to escape to a faraway place. 
Well, I got to go study now... 
Byes(:
PS: Here's a quote - Every long lost dream, led me to where you are, others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars, pointing me on my way, into your loving arms, this much I know is true, god blessed the broken road, that led me straight to you.
