In this book you will find secrets revealed, secrets yet to be discovered and some that will never be. Here are stories of Hollywood secrets like the sex life of Rock Hudson and the secrets of film star Mary Astor’s infamous diary. And then there were the murders- who killed respected director, William Desmond Taylor? And there were Military secrets like the clandestine operation that fooled the Nazis and led to the D-Day landings, the secrets of the heart it says that President Kennedy had an affair with Marilyn Monroe and not only him, but also his brother Robert Kennedy. There are so many secrets in this book now you know why it’s on my number seven 🙂

The Royal Scandals by Nigel Cawthorne (8)

I personally think that most of the stories here are normal but not normal in the sense that it is right. What I’m saying is the people featured in this book maybe full blooded Royals but what happened to their marriage can happen to any normal couple. Anyway here are the names of some the Royal Couples featured in this book:

Ø Prince Charles and Princess Diana

Ø Captain Peter Townsend and Princes Margaret

Ø Edward, Prince of Wales and Lady Furness

Ø The six wives of Henry VIII

Ø Prince Rainier of Monaco and Grace Kelly

If you have a taste for scandals and tabloid fodder you might find this book to your liking.

The Immortal by Christopher Pike (9)

This book is about a girl who went to a vacation in Greece and visits the sacred Island of Delos where one thing leads to another. The story, which featured the gods and goddess of Greece, was unique especially with the twist at the end where Christopher Pike is really good at. I love Christopher Pike. I actually have most of his other books. Here are some of the Pike Titles I own:

Ø Slumber Party

Ø Bury me deep

Ø Whisper of Death

Ø Fall into Darkness

Ø Scavenger Hunt

Ø Road to Nowhere

Ø Master of Murder

Ø Remember me 1,2 and 3

Ø Monster

Ø The grave

Fear Street by R.L. Stine (10)

My first encounter with this book was back in high school where I remembered borrowing it from our library. The reason why I picked this book when there were a hundred of ghost stories in front of me was the title “Fear Street”. You see, I’m always afraid of walking alone in a dark street. As for the author, I’m not even familiar with the “R.L. Stine” but who cares? It caught my attention and I have a good or should I say “creepy” feeling about the book. Anyway, reading that book is the start of my quest to find all the books written by R.L. Stine because in my opinion, he’s a genius when it comes to writing horror, or creepy stories. The words and scenes he described would always send a chill down my spine.

Being a high school student, I don’t have the patience to save up and buy any of his books so I just borrowed them from our library. Still the drive to read or even buy some of his books stayed with me. That day came after I landed my first job in a law firm and received my first salary. Suffice to say, I rushed to the bookstore but to my disappointment, I can’t find any R.L. Stine books anymore and I don’t know why. Still, I just won’t give up so easily. One day after office hours, I swung by a newly opened bookstore in Makati and found myself browsing the horror/thriller section. There I found “The Sitter” written by you guessed it – R.L. Stine. I bought the book which was quite expensive but I honestly think it was well worth it. It’s a long way from Fear Street but I still keep it, being my first R.L. Stine book.

Watch movies for FREE

Several months ago when I was chatting with my husband, he mentioned that I can watch a full movie online. I was so excited that I asked him for the website address because I needed to do something while waiting for him to get home. I  really have to keep busy since he gets home at  around 3am (he goes to work @ 5pm). I checked out the URL one day and all I can say is that I find that website really amazing. Can you imagine watching full length movies online…for FREE?  Until now, I never thought that was possible but there it was right in front of me.  One thing I noticed is that they have comments on every movie. I got curious and decided to share my two cents worth abouth the movie I just watched. To do that though, I have to be a member first and I don’t see that a problem since there’s no membership dues. That’s how I first started watching and reviewing movies online. I’m not that good but I love doing it! Your reviews get you points that accumulate but then again you can’t redeem it or exchange it for anything. Still, it’s good to know that you’re actually helping another person decide if a movie is worth watching just by posting a comment and of course rating the movie. I’ve been doing this for months now and I still enjoy it! You can check out the website at http://www.watch-movies.net/
