Musing Mondays #5 (29 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…My musing :
• 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!
I want to tell you about my obsession over a book from S.A.S.S. series that I've been searching for. Its title is French Kissmas by Catherine Hapka.
Sundays in Bed with ... A Really Awesome Mess
This meme is hosted by Midnight Book Girl. Sundays In Bed With ... is about sharing what book you are reading/wish to read in bed Sunday morning.
Today is my last Sunday living in Bandung! I'll be back home soon. Yes! I try my best enjoying the weekend by snuggling in bed, reading a book, and drink hot chocolate. This Sunday I'm reading A Really Awesome Mess by Trish Cook & Brendan Halpin. I got a free copy of it from Netgalley.com. I'm almost done reading this book and so far, I like this book. I'm bonding with the characters sometimes it feels like I'm a part of their unique group. Nice weekend.

After more than twenty years of marriage, Chloe Sinclair comes home one night to find that her husband, Nate, is gone. All he has left behind is a cryptic note explaining that he's returned to their childhood town, a place Chloe never wants to see again. While trying to reach Nate, Chloe stumbles upon a notebook tucked inside his antique copy of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." Written in code, the pages contain long-buried secrets from their past, and clues to why he went home after all these years. As Chloe struggles to decipher the notebook's hidden messages, she revisits the seminal moments of their youth: the day she met the enigmatic Sinclair children and the increasingly dangerous games they played to escape their troubled childhoods; the first time Nate kissed her, camped out on the beach like Robinson Crusoe; and the elaborate plan she and Nate devised, inspired by "Romeo and Juliet, " to break away from his oppressive father. As the reason for Nate's absence comes to light, the truth will forever shatter everything Chloe knows--about her husband, his family, and herself.
