Note: Uunahin muna natin ang scoring ng lahat ng entry na book dito sa Romance Genre bago ang rankings.
Then, wala po 'tong favor-favor na magaganap. Ang scores na natanggap ko mula sa mga judges ay iyon mismo ang in-add ko sa scores ko din dahil judge rin ako tapos dinivide ko iyon into four since apat kaming judges, tapos, iyon na kaagad ang average scores dito.

(UNTIL FOREVER)
written by: Mrs_Puf

🗨Book cover: 8%
      Reasons: It's eye-catchy and unique at the same time because somehow, it tells the whole story, from their past to the present. It's like the cover is implying that they really will love each other until forever. But it would really look great if hindi lahat black and white. Mas maganda na 'yung past na mga tao lang ang kulay black and white...then, 'yung dalawang matanda naman na naglalakad ay may kulay.

🗨Blurb: 18.25%
     Reasons: It's well-detailed in any aspects because as it says, it just happened to be in the hospital where in the story(the past) will unfold again. It has the ability that catches our curiousity. So, thumbs up!

🗨Book Title: 9%
    Reasons: There's this saying na 'kahit anong kanta, pwedeng maging pamagat ng nobela at kahit anong pamagat ng nobela ay pwedeng maging kanta'. It really applies in this story. I like how one of the judges said na naaalala nya ang kanta ng isang PPOP na may pamagat na Hanggang sa Huli. Naisip ko rin iyon, talaga. But...may nabasa na rin kasi tayo na gan'to 'yung title since it's romance pero good job pa din since it fits with the story well.

🗨Plot: 45.5%
    Reasons: Before I start, punas muna tayo luha! Huhu! Katulad ng summary na nakuha ko mula sa mga judges at sa akin, ang ganda ng story! The twist, kung paano isinalaysay ang lahat, plus the uniqueness! Maganda talaga, from the nanakawan to the kiss! Oh my ghad! Kinilig ako sa part na 'yun talaga! The judges also (o kung sino mang nakabasa na at may balak na basahin 'tong story na 'to) couldn't really help themselves but to felt the feeling of the old Maynila, and the place, kung paano nagkaaberya ang tren to the 'yun nga, ninakawan sya ng isang matanda! 'Yun! We found this story very very interesting! We're looking forward to the next chap.

🗨Grammar and Spelling: 8.5%
      Reasons: Wala namang masyadong mali kaming nakita dahil mostly ay Tagalog naman ang ginagamit mo. But then, watch out lang at careful sa paggamit ng mga salita lalo na ang ginagamit mo ay malalalim na tagalog dahil 'yun naman talaga ang salitang ginamit noon. Then, 'yung punctuations, be careful sa paggamit, lagyan mo ng exclamation point paggalit or masaya ang mga lead para mas dama.

Overall: 89.25%

(AND THEN HE KISSED ME)
written by: AYYETIA

🗨Book cover: 9%
Reasons: Maganda 'yung pagkaka-combine ng kulay ng picture at ng title mismo kaya klarong-klaro!

🗨Blurb: 17.5%
Reasons: The description is a bit cliché. So, we're looking forward to the upcoming twist.

🗨Book title: 9.5%
Reasons: No reasons needed na pero if gusto nyong malaman ang dahilan, it's because it's catchy gaya na lamang ng mga katulad kong mahilig sa romance (hindi naman masyado) ay makukuha kaagad ang atensyon. Just like, bakit hinalikan? What's the reason that he'll kiss her? Like that.
