An assignment *sigh*

So today I'm having ICT (Information Communication Technology) at school and I don't know why but we're back learning how to blog. Wow. So yeah, as one of the assignments, I need to post something about this blog, and attach either a picture or a video. Let's do this.

For those who don't know, I'll give you a brief introduction of what The Four Eyed Cat Reviews is. This blog is mostly about YA books. I post reviews (obviously) here and other things like...artworks, un-published novels, and others. I decided to start my own book blog in order to be able to get arcs! and as a new experience.

Since I was tasked to attach a picture or a video in this post then I'm going to share this! My favorite book trailer ever!

PUBLISHED TODAY!

I am really excited today! if you're a fan of the Divergent trilogy then this day is going to be wonderful! So now I'm going to remind you all (if you don't remember) that Allegiant (Divergent #3) is out today!

All those unanswered questions and complications from the two books before is going to be covered! ok now, the cover, blurb, and a bit about the author.



One choice will define you.

What if your whole world was a lie?
What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?


The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.

But Tris’s new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.

Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the Divergent series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.

MTBABLB #1 : Spoiler-aholic

I had nothing to do last night, and I was really bored that I decided to check out my own blog. And it was a mistake because now I know (one of) the reason why this blog was really invisible (not famous and all) and here it is: it's boring. Well, at least I think it is. I know it's "The Four Eyed Cat Reviews" but I admit, a blog with only reviews in it was a bit boring, no offense. Except if your reviews are super cool and demanded unlike mine (why does this sound really sad?). So here comes MTBABLB: which stands for making-this-blog-a-bit-less-boring. MTBABLB is posts that may or may be not related to books that is not a review, A.K.A something that might make this blog a bit more interesting.

Now, as the first step MTBABLB I'm going to tell you about my addiction, or a habit? I don't know. I can't believe I'm saying this and this might sound a bit cliche but, my heart is fragile. I didn't mean it literally. Every time I finished reading a book with cliffhangers and no sequel I got really mad that I could actually complain about it for at least the whole day, and not to the author but to everyone around me, the ones that have no idea about the book. And I am hurt. I don't know why but the disappointment could actually stop me from reading other books for several days, or weeks. And I hate it. Worst, it also happens with the sad books. Even the ones that other people thinks that it wasn't sad enough, I cried. I felt really stupid when one of my family member barge in my room and found me weeping over a book (or a movie) and those sadness lasts. I hate that too. So here comes my addiction. I am addicted to Spoilers

If available, I read the Epilogue before the Prologue, I read reviews full of spoilers. And that is bad because I tend to drop lots of books down just because it doesn't have the ending that I wanted. Currently, the only books that I read without any spoiler was only the Shatter Me seriesDivergent trilogy, and Under the Never Sky trilogy. So please, if you had any tips on fighting this addiction, comment! or tell me if you had the same addiction? maybe we could be besties, lol.

Oh yeah, and even worst, I just found out that the addiction runs in the family. My aunt always watch the ending of a film before watching it. *sigh*
