NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- In Cory Doctorow’s wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco—an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state. A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier. Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him—but he can’t admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He’s surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He’s not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he’s gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do. Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’re used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.

BITCHY ME BOOK 1 SEX & TRUE LOVE ... Ako si Rosa Camila Montemayor. I grew up in a broken family. But that wasn't enough reason for me to be bitter. Di rin ako nagtanim ng sama ng loob. I was a good daughter. I tried my best in school, I was in good terms with everyone in my class. Ginawa ko lahat para walang maging problema sa akin si mama. Sabi nila, I was the perfect role model- maganda, matalino, mabaet. I was friendly and kind to everyone. Far from being humble for sure, but still, I was a good girl. Tulad ng iba, I also believed in love, in forever, and in happily ever after. I used to think that as long as you listen to your heart, everything will be okay. But that was a long time ago. Back when I was still innocent and naive, before life decided to play a cruel joke on me. Years later, things changed. I changed. Lahat ng ginagawa ko ngayon, kabalidtaran ng mga ginawa ko noon. Most people I know did not like the new me. They called me names and talked behind my back. Everyone turned their backs on me because I wasn't the good girl they used to know. Do I care? No. Not at all. I've been to hell and back. I grew tougher and wiser. Nalaman ko na not everyone deserves your kindness, that not everyone should be trusted, and that being good is not an assurance that nobody will hurt you. I believed that when life's being a bitch, you gotta be a bitch as well and bite back. And with that, I have learned to accept and embrace what life made out of me - a BAD GIRL.
