Hi! Sudah bulan Desember, yang berarti tahun 2014 sudah mau habis, plus waktunya event Secret Santa BBI. Secret Santa BBI adalah event tahunan yang diadakan oleh BBI dimana member yang berpartisipasi saling memberi hadiah (buku tentunya) tanpa yang dikirimi tahu siapa pengirimnya. Tahun ini adalah kali kedua saya ikut event ini. Mudah-mudahan kali ini jawaban riddlenya bener, nggak kayak tahun lalu yang gagal total.

How to: READ-A-THON
Hi! It’s been a long time since I last write a non-review post.
In this post I’d like to discuss about read-a-thon. I’ve been participating on
several read-a-thons. It was fun and quite
effective in tackling my TBR pile. So I’ll share some tips based on my
experience in participating a read-a-thon.

It could be their second chance at life...or it could be a suicide mission.CLARKE was arrested for treason, though she's haunted by the memory of what she really did. WELLS, the chancellor's son, came to Earth for the girl he loves -- but will she ever forgive him? Reckless BELLAMY fought his way onto the transport pod to protect his sister, the other half of the only pair of siblings in the universe. And GLASS managed to escape back onto the ship, only to find that life there is just as dangerous as she feared it would be on Earth.Confronted with a savage land and haunted by secrets from their pasts, the hundred must fight to survive. They were never meant to be heroes, but they may be mankind's last hope.

[Review] How to Be Popular - Meg Cabot
Title of Book : How To Be Popular
Author : Meg Cabot
Publisher : HarperCollins
Author : Meg Cabot
Publisher : HarperCollins
Do you want to be popular? Everyone wants to be popular or at least, Stephanie Landry does. Steph's been the least popular girl in her class since a certain cherry Super Big Gulp catastrophe five years earlier. Does being popular matter? It matters very much to Steph. That's why this year, she has a plan to get in with the It Crowd in no time flat. She's got a secret weapon: an old book called what else? How to Be Popular. What does it take to be popular? All Steph has to do is follow the instructions in The Book, and soon she'll be partying with the It Crowd (including school quarterback Mark Finley) instead of sitting on The Hill Saturday nights, stargazing with her nerdy best pal Becca, and even nerdier Jason (now kind of hot, but still), whose passion for astronomy Steph once shared. Who needs red dwarves when you're invited to the hottest parties in town? But don't forget the most important thing about popularity! It's easy to become popular. What isn't so easy? Staying that way.
[Review] Murder at The Vicarage - Agatha Christie
Title of Book : Murder at The Vicarage
Author : Agatha Christie
Publisher : William Morrow Paperbacks
Author : Agatha Christie
Publisher : William Morrow Paperbacks
The murder of Colonel Protheroe -- shot through the head -- is a shock to everyone in St Mary Mead, though hardly an unpleasant one. Now even the vicar, who had declared that killing the detested Protheroe would be 'doing the world at large a favour,' is a suspect -- the Colonel has been dispatched in the clergyman's study, no less. But the picturesque English village of St Mary Mead is overpopulated with suspects. There is of course the faithless Mrs Protheroe; and there is of course her young lover -- an artist, to boot.Perhaps more surprising than the revelation of the murderer is the detective who will crack the case: 'a white-haired old lady with a gentle, appealing manner.' Miss Jane Marple has arrived on the scene, and crime literature's private men's club of great detectives will never be the same.
