[Review] Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas

 

 Reading this book was an awesome journey for me. Putting this book down was hard for me, I end up reading it non stop for hours until I finally finished it. The main characters, Celaena, is your typical strong heroine that I love very much, but she still seems human and so real with all her fears and insecurity. I love her character development too, she seem matured at the end point of the book.

For the plot and story, reminded me a bit of Merlin (the TV Shows one) cause the king is so ruthless and magic is outlawed too, but the king only shows up at the beginning and end so I don't really know. Dorian is so charming and funny but I prefer Chaol ;;www;; he gives onii-chan and senpai feeling. I think Celaena feels giddy and have a heart-pounding moment when she's with Dorian while with Chaol, she feels safe, protected and contend. At some points throughout the story too, whenever Celaena is in trouble, the first man she thought is Chaol, not Dorian. Hemm, nevertheless this is still the first book *^*

yep, this is all I think *off to read the second book*

Overall Rating
5/5 For the characters, plot, and dialogues

((Yep I know I'm biased but who cares))

[Review] Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

Rainbow Rowell maybe my favorite author of 2015. She's the aithor of 'Eleanor and Park' and also 'Fangirl' of which I thoroughly enjoyed reading both of them very much. I love how she writes the dialogues, it's always funny, witty and a bit sarcastic there and there. Here, in Carry On the interaction between the character shines. I find myself laughing a quite few times. Although I dislike some of the characters here, but deep down I understand why those annoying characters did that. There are some loose ends, like, where did Lucy actually go? But I guess leaving it to our imagination isn't so bad either. One thing that I know from this book is Obsession can turns into love. So don't go around hating someone too much (lol). Love the ending too btw, even if it feels a bit rushed to me, but I love how  she ties up all.

Overall
4.5/5 Characters

5/5 Story

5/5 Dialogues

(Yes i'm that type who always gives 4 or 5 to books that I've reviewed, cos if it's boring to me, I wouldn't even finish the book :")

Selamat Hari Mamah!

-ditulis dalam keadaan beler belum mandi karena baru bangun tidur-

Selamat hari Ibu, Mamah, atau kalau aku enakan hari Mamah yah :DD

Terima kasih mah untuk semuanya selama ini..

Sekarang aku yang udah 20 tahun mulai mikir

Mungkin waktu ku buat jadi seorang ‘ibu’ tinggal sebentar lagi

Tapi kalau dipikir-pikir..

I’m nowhere as kind as you..

Nowhere as patient as you..

Nowhere as loving as you..

Nowhere as selfless as you..

Just taking care of myself is very hard for me

How can you take care of us all at the same time?

With endless patience and sleepless nights

But what do you get in return, I know you don’t deserve it at all

You don’t deserve us yelling at you, but we still do it

You don’t deserve us saying hurting words to you, but you still get it

You don’t deserve us ignoring you, making you wait for our phonecall, but we still  don’t do it

We’ve done so many horrible things to you buy you’re still there for us

For us to come home, For us to feel warmth and love

I sometimes wonder if you’re tired

But I know you can’t resign from being a mother

You can resign from any job, but not from being a mother

So what I just want to say is SEMANGAAT!!

What I can do now is trying to be a good daughter

A daughter who will bring happiness, not pain, to you

A daughter who won’t make you receive punishment from Allah in hell

A daughter who will make you proud for calling me, ‘your daughter’

Once again, Selamat Hari Ibu, Mamah!

 

BIRTHDAY RANT PT.1

So, this is a.. birthday post I guess? So many things happened at my birthday and I feel like writing it all down cause it was such a very memorable birthday for me(yup, thanks to you, yes you who’s reading this now! *ciee). <--- pake bahasa inggris biar ga dangdut2 amat bahasanya.

Reasons why this is such a memorable birthday

-Part 1- : My friend made a comeback in such a Sherlock-y way

So enough of the prologue let’s get to the D-day start from 00:00

Jadi, like a child I was, I stayed up all night on 1^st December to wait for 00:00. I want me to congratulate myself first for holding on and getting through 20years. Suddenly there’s a line pop up, and it says Abdullah blablabla. Trus kan udah geer tuh mau diucapin, eh taunya Dudung nanya materi prokom cobaaaa. Jahat banget kan anjir jahaat. Huft so after staying up for another 15minutes, I decided to sleep.

But suddenly there’s a violent knocking on my door. I decided to open it walopun belom pake kacamata. Jadi ada Kalista di samping pegang balon, tapi yang megang kue di tengah.. awalnya ga percaya, dan langsung masuk lagi ke kamar buat ngambil kacamata.. dan ternyata, yes it is Nadya Nadiva. My best friend since middleschool who disappeared on me since November last year. Bayangkan dong we got through middle and high school together, trus bareng-bareng ke ITB juga, only to have her disappear from my life in November 2014. Jadi setaun kemaren ini, I’ve tried calling her, line, whatsapp and even leaving comment on his Path posts but none of it got any reply. Bahkan gue sampe mikir salah apa gue.. apa dia ga mau maen sama gue lagi.. apa dia pengen sama anak LFM aja jadi ga mau maen sama gue lagi..

 

Me and Nadya during our graduation. Muka disensor demi kemakmuran orang banyak

but, fast forwad.....

Suddenly she’s here in front of me on my birthday at 12 o’clock. So guess what I did, yes, I cried. And cried. My first question was, “Lo kemana aja Nad?” while crying and looking and sounding so ugly. I miss her so much. So for about 5 minutes I can’t do anything but cry, even though Kalista and Nadya told me to stop cos it’s my birthday and I’m supposed to be happy, the tears flow on its own. Then I finally calmed down and we had a nice and not-so-long chat cause it’s still midnight and I have test at 7 a.m that day. I made Nadya promised to tell me all that I’ve missed, and the reason why she disappeared on me. 

  

Nadya has always call me 'boss' for no reason, ehem, actually it's because I'm such a child and a selfish oneeee. I'm sorry Nad.

I should’ve punched her first like John did to Sherlock. And she should’ve said something like “did you miss me” or “not dead”. Now I know a little how John feels, one word, Nad, I just need one word, actually… ;___; 

But at the end, thank you for everything Nadya & Kalista! Thank you for the cake, thank you for showing up at midnight in my room. I love you both, and Anyta too, I miss hanging out with all of you ;w; let’sss wattchhh x-menn togetherrr like we did with dofp! <3
