Siege and Storm (Book 2 of the Shadow and Bone Trilogy) by Leigh Bardugo

-



I rarely read YA, but if the movie or TV series version fascinates me enough, I would definitely read the books.

After rapidly binge-watching Netflix's Shadow and Bone, I quickly devoured Siege and Storm. The plot is fast-paced and interesting, and the world-building makes for an absorbing read. I loved how the story is Tsarist Russia-inspired, instead of the Medieval European setting common in fantasy books.
While it's no Harry Potter, I like the Shadow and Bone Trilogy as much as I liked The Hunger Games Trilogy.

Coldplay in Manila

  I watched Coldplay perform here in the Philippines in 2017, and I had the crappiest tickets at the crappiest venue. I think I was standing a kilometer away from the stage. I barely saw anything. At the concert last night, Chris Martin read a poster a girl was holding, and it said, “In 2017, I was at the far back. Now I am this close.” Chris Martin then asked four people sitting on the very, very last row to move to the very front, then proceeded to sing Everglow. I don’t think I ever sobbed so hard during a concert. The first two photos are the ones I took when I attended their 2017 concert in Manila. The next two are from last night. All I know is, whether you’re at the far back or a bit closer to the stage, the magic is the same. Their concerts will always be an adventure of a lifetime.

1. Iloilo 2. Cebu 3. Legazpi (because of how beautiful Mt. Mayon was) 4. Davao 5. Sorsogon 6. Lucena 7. Butuan Ranking is purely based on personal experience. I know I missed out on a lot of things these cities could offer because, you know, I was there for work and only went sightseeing after work hours. Really grateful for a job that sends me to these beautiful places.
