The Best Way to Break Your Heart

Still reading Murakami's Norwegian Wood. This is weird how I prolong my time to eat it up. I read every page carefully, with much feeling. Not gonna rush it and still stuck in early page.

Have you read it?
If you haven't, don't read this post.

Here comes Watanabe. Toru Watanabe. Plain guy yet a massive thinker. A loner. Enjoying his life including its tragedy, losing his only best friend, Kizuki, that caused him losing his beats of adolescent. Painfully in love with Naoko.

Naoko was Kizuki's girlfriend. Weird and very fragile. Naoko was drowning in too much pain, tangled problems and emotion. Troublesome.
yet Watanabe could never let her go. Every bit of her touched him deeply that he could not run away. That every time he missed her, any hole had been dug and become deeper at any case.

Then Watanabe met Kobayashi. Kobayashi Midori. A bizarre proportion of teenager, with witty way of thinking, a little bit dark, craving for huge love. They both grew a kind of mutual addiction.

I don't wanna spill the whole package.

I just wonder how Murakami could put them up together, in the most beautiful form of depression, of losing, of heartbreak.
How he arranged things up and built a character such that...plain but interesting. Slow moving plot. Rich of details. Very very not sensible.
Just like how lustful Watanabe was, how he enjoyed being in love with Naoko, yet dying slowly knowing that a girl he fell for, who ate his time the most even she did not bother to ask,



never loved him back.


A beautiful way to feel heartbreak without really having any is by reading this book. Seriously.

Size 14 is Not Fat Either

I finished this book yesterday, woohoo! Meg Cabot is always my favorite author. She did this one as well as she did the others.
Okay, this one is still about Heather Wells, the ex-popstar who's now working on Fischer Hall (a residence hall) and at the first day of her 2nd year, she found a head-without-body in the caf, plus the fact her ex-con dad is gonna live with her in Cooper (a brother of Heather's ex)'s house. How will Heather manage to deal with those all?
Better read it by yourself. Although its genre is mystery, this one doesn't seem creepy at all. Meg Cabot wrote it in a fresh humor sense yet sarcastically funny.
I give 8/10.
Can't wait reading the next book of Heather Wells' Mystery series, Big Boned!

Size 12 is Not Fat

Heather Wells was a teenage pop-star. Her life seemed perfect, until she decided to leave her recording company to write and become famous for her own song.
But it didn't turn out, so now Heather-is a size 12 girl-works at New York College dorm as an assistant director. Then the tragedy happens, some girls (freshmen) dies in the elevator because of elevator-surving.
Well, it makes Heather shocked and play some detective games with a cool Personal Investigator, Cooper Cartwright, who is her truly charming landlord and her ex-boyfriend's brother.
Fyi, her ex-boyf is gonna be engaged with Tania Trace, the hitsmaker.

What will Heather do to handle those things?


Read by yourself, I give 4.5 stars. Thrilling and fabulous in the other way.
Meg Cabot is my favourite one!
I'm on the way reading the sekuel, Size 14 is Not Fat Either. Just read it!

Princess Lessons

-All you need to know to be a princess.




This book was first published in 2003.
Woah! It has been 5 years-going to-6 years then.
But I still love this book up to now. Whenever I'm down, I read this and it makes me better.

Meg Cabot is a brilliant and funny author. So far, I always love her works and read each more than twice for sure.
I started to like her works since the first Princess Diaries was published. If I'm not mistaken, I was in the 5th grade. It makes me smile a lot, even worse laughing my head off. :P

Princess Lessons is still about Mia Thermopolis, the wacky-but-cool-and-love-to-write princess from Princess Diaries series. This one tells you all about the stuffs and how to be a princess. From the beauty until the character of a cool princess are written here in a funny way, so you won't be able to put this book down when you've started.






Maybe at first you will think this book just waste your time, but as you read this book, you'll know that your first thought is untrue.
Being a princess is not an unimportant fairytale.

It's all how to be good, actually.
Not only good in your look,

but in your heart, too..

Bukan Cuma Seonggok Daging yang Bisa Berbicara, Berjalan, dan Punya Nama

Lihat judul post ini aja pasti udah pada tahu deh.
Yaaaa, jujur saya telat banget bangetan nih. Berhubung sibuk ini itu, hobi saya yang bernama membaca sudah lama terlantar dan mulai tumbuh ilalang. Ibaratnya sih kalo rumah ya sudah ada sarang laba-laba lengkap sama Mbak K. hahaha

Ya, jujur sekali..... Awalnya, novel ini kurang menarik perhatian saya. Hmm, saya sukanya novel dengan cover eye-catching, atau ya paling gak dengan resensi yang spoiler berat gitu. Dangkal abis ya? Hehe. Padahal dalam sehari-hari, saya memegang teguh Don't Judge A Book by Its Cover, tapi nyatanya dalam kehidupan toko buku saya jauh dari kalimat itu..... hehe

Suatu hari di kelas XI IPA H, tempat saya bernaung dan menghabiskan waktu 8,5 jam setiap hari Senin-Jumat kedapatan tugas dari Bu Bahasa Indonesia untuk mengerjakan tugas resensi buku fiksi a.k.a novel.
Woah, saya langsung semangat bikin deh berhubung bahasa Indonesia adalah satu dari sekian pelajaran bahasa favorit saya. Saya kan maniak bahasa. Hehehe
Terus saya bikin deh resensi dari novel favorit saya sepanjang masa, Lukisan Hujan.

Waktu tugas dikumpulkan, teman-teman saya sibuk saling tukeran resensi, melihat karya temannya yang lain. Teman sebangku saya, Alessandra, atau yg akrab dipanggil Ales bikin resensi 5 cm. Hmm, saya baca deh resensi yang Ales bikin. Lalu saya berhasil jadi penasaran........................................... dan saya akhirnya
pinjam deh ke dia. Hehe

Baca awal-awal sih saya sangat terkesan sama pengetahuan Donny Dhirgantoro sama lagu. Woah, dia menulis lagu keren-keren yang saya suka di novel ini. Biarpun banyak diisi percakapan tapi bahasa yang digunakan ringan banget, jadi ga gambang bosen.



Baru baca setengah jalan, novelnya dipinjem sama Mama. Jadinya ketunda deh. Ketunda lamaaaaa banget. Sekitar 3-4 minggu lebih baru deh saya melanjutkan proyek menamatkan 5 cm. Tapi sayangnya tiap mau menamatkan, ketunda lagi. Ada ini, itu, ini, itu. Weleh-weleh, orang buku 379 halaman aja butuh waktu lamaaaaa banget namatinnya. Hehehe

Akhirnya, kemarin saya berhasil membabat habis buku ini. Cerita ini bercerita tentang 5 orang sahabat dekat yang melakukan perjalanan dimana mereka mendapatkan banyak hal penting dari perjalanan itu sehingga mereka bukan sekedar seonggok daging yang bisa berbicara, berjalan, dan punya nama.

Setelah membaca novel ini, spirit hidup saya jadi meningkat dan ingin naik gunung! :D

5 cm bakalan banyak banget ngasih pengetahuan juga quote-quote bagus buat pegangan hidup.

Jadi nyesel pernah judge a book by its cover...
