[Review] Safe Haven - Nicholas Sparks

Title of book: Safe Haven
Author: Nicholas Sparks
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing

When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family. But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her . . . a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. With Jo's empathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of transient safety and one of riskier rewards . . . and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven.

[Review] Autumn Once More - Ilana Tan, Ika Natassa, Aliazalea, dkk.

Title of Book : Autumn Once More
Author : Ilana Tan, Ika Natassa, Aliazalea, dkk.
Publisher : PT Gramedia Pustaka Utama

Cinta < adj >: suka sekali; sayang benar; kasih sekali; terpikat.

Ada bahagia dan kepedihan dalam cinta. Cinta yang terpendam menimbulkan resah, pengkhianatan pun tak lepas dari cinta, atau bahkan cinta berlebihan sehingga menyesakkan. Galau dan rindu pun dituturkan dalam ribuan kata di buku ini.

Autumn Once More membawa kita ke banyak sisi cinta dari kumpulan pengarang, mulai dari pengarang profesional hingga editor yang harus jadi pengarang “dadakan” dan menunjukkan kreativitas mereka dalam tema abadi sepanjang masa.

Inilah tumpahan rasa dan obsesi karya aliaZalea, Anastasia Aemilia, Christina Juzwar, Harriska Adiati, Hetih Rusli, Ika Natassa, Ilana Tan, Lea Agustina Citra, Meilia Kusumadewi, Nina Addison, Nina Andiana, Rosi L. Simamora, dan Shandy Tan.

Musing Mondays #2 (2 July 2013)

Musing Mondays is a meme which hosted by Should Be Reading.

Musing Mondays asks you to muse about one of the following each week…
• Describe one of your reading habits.
• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).
• What book are you currently desperate to get your hands on? Tell us about it!
• Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren’t) enjoying it.
• Do you have a bookish rant? Something about books or reading (or the industry) that gets your ire up? Share it with us!
• Instead of the above questions, maybe you just want to ramble on about something else pertaining to books — let’s hear it, then!

My musing :

I actually live in Surabaya, but this month I have to go to Bandung for an internship for a month. Which means, I'm now living in Bandung. I was reading Where We Belong by Emily Giffin when it was time for me to leave Surabaya. I thought I'll finish the book before I leave. But I haven't finished it, -meh- and I don't bring the book with me -great-. Now I'm dying to know the continuation of the story. argh!

What about you ? How's your Monday ?

[Review] The Naked Traveler 4 - Trinity

Title of Book : The Naked Traveler 4
Author : Trinity
Publisher : B-First

Jalan-jalan bersama Trinity memang tak ada habisnya. Tiga seri laris The Naked Traveller ternyata tak cukup untuk menceritakan pengalaman seru Trinity menjelajah ke berbagai negara. Sesuai ciri khasnya, Trinity mampu memberikan “kesan baru” pada setiap tempat yang ia singgahi. Selalu ada kejutan yang akan membuat kita melakukan refleksi.

Kali ini, kita akan diajak untuk menikmati Afrika, makan zebra di Namibia, dipenjara dan ketemu hiu putih raksasa, eksisnya Ladyboys di Thailand, sampai dipalak anak kecil di Kalimantan. Tambah lagi, kita juga bakal tetep sirik setengah mati sama cerita Trinity yang makan sushi paling enak sedunia dan nonton festival Unta di Pushkar.
