The Blair Book Project
Hello! I'm Janus. I am a 3D Graphics Artist by profession, and a proud Book Addict - i mean Enthusiast, and Blogger. I'm very much into Young Adult and Fantasy genre but I open myself to reading other genres from time to time. I run a blog launched as The Blair Book Project on Blogger, where I post entries such as my book reviews and other book related articles. I obviously got the name of this blog for the movie "The Blair Witch Project," why the name you may ask? I have no idea! I just thought it had a good ring to it. Ha! Ha! I post reviews twice a week and I regularly participate in book memes and features that readers and blogger all over the globe share their book interests (i.e. In My Malibox, Top Ten Tuesdays, etc). I have 230 GFC Followers. My blog has over 37,000 pageviews history and have roughly 200 page views per day. I have written over 267 reviews since my span of blogging. I am also an avid Instagram user, with over 350 followers, where I post pictures mostly of books I'm currently reading, books I got for review, galleys, purchased from bookstores, etc. (Statistics as of March 2013). My book reviews are not exactly "reviews" in a sense because I simply just type down what I feel about the book. What I write is solely my opinion and should not be taken as a definite basis of how the book is to be judged entirely. We all have different likes and dislikes so please do understand that although I'm very optimistic about the books I read, there will be negative comments towards those that I don't find suiting for my taste.

Forgotten
I am at awe with the premise of this book. It reminds me a little of the movie “50 First Dates” but with a rather different twist. Forgotten is a story of a 16 year-old girl named London who goes to sleep and wakes up with no memory of the day before. She writes notes at night reminding her of what happened and what she needs to do. Another catch is that she has flashbacks of the future… or rather flash-forwards. London is a character that I admire a lot. The way she deals with her life’s dilemma is really commendable. She’s strong and she does the best she can to make it seem like she’s normal, but even the strongest person can turn vulnerable at times and when she had a little meltdown over the burden she’s carrying, I couldn’t blame her. I don’t even know what I’d do if I where in her shoes. I wouldn’t want to encounter precious moments in life and have them taken away in just a few hours. I also like the character of Luke. Finally! A typical guy with no super powers, non-mythical, not so brawny and not the overly emo kind; just a normal guy who’s in love with a girl. Oh! This is so fresh and I love it! I wasn’t expecting the reason behind London’s condition. I always thought that she might’ve been in an accident or something but I didn’t expect that there was an even deeper story behind it. When I came about the ending, after all that had been revealed, I felt that this part left me hanging for more. I feel like it just wasn’t finished yet. Nonetheless, Forgotten is one of the most beautiful, simple stories that I have ever read! I rarely read books that have drama but this is one that I would love to read over again. A definite page-turner and a very heartwarming story!
