Friday's Recommendation #1: The Unwanted Wife

So it is Friday, right?

Jadi karena hari ini kerjaan saya lagi gak banyak dan waktu main ke aggregator BBI ada yang posting Friday's Recomendation, agak-agak tertarik.. :)

Apalagi rasanya agak dejavu waktu liat ni meme.. hihihi ;))

Jadi tujuan meme ini adalah untuk merekomendasikan buku asing untuk diterjemahkan dalam bahasa Indonesia atau merekomendasikan buku lokal yang kamu suka.

Hari ini aku mau rekomendasikan buku favorite aku, sebenarnya sudah lama ngebaca buku ini. Saya juga baca hasil rekomendasi dari teman di GR. So, it is great to tell you all about this book. Review-nya sudah pernah saya muat di sini 

Wishful Wednesday #2

Hello Wednesday!!

This is the laziest day in a week for me. To be honest, saya tidak pernah benci Monday, kecuali setelah libur yang lebih dari 3 hari. Tapi saya tidak terlalu suka Rabu, karena hari ini adalah hari yang paling saya harapkan segera berlalu. Artinya sebentar lagi, Jumat. hahaha

Okey, not gonna feed you with my not so important word.
Hari ini saya ikutan Wishful Wednesday karena kali ini kepengennya pake 'banget'

Saya pengen banget BACA buku The Chronicles of Audy: 4R, soalnya sinopsisnya bikin pengen baca banget. :D

Hai. Namaku Audy. Umurku 22 tahun.
Hidupku tadinya biasa-biasa saja, sampai kedua orangtuaku jatuh bangkrut karena ditipu.

Aku hanya tinggal selangkah lagi menuju gelar sarjanaku. Selangkah lagi!

Tapi kedua orangtuaku rupanya tega merusak momen itu. Jadi sekarang, di sinilah aku berada. Di rumah aneh yang dihuni oleh 4 bersaudara yang sama anehnya: Regan, Romeo, Rex dan Rafael.

Aku, yang awalnya berpikir akan bekerja sebagai babysitter, dijebak oleh kontrak sepihak dan malah dijadikan pembantu!

Terdengar klise?
Mungkin, bagimu. Bagiku? Musibah!

Ini, adalah kronik dari kehidupanku yang mendadak jadi ribet. Kronik dari seorang Audy.

Seberapa Pantas kah Kau (Buku) untuk Ku Beli?

 

Hallo, book lover!!

Permisi numpang tanya, kira-kira kamu pada pengen punya perpustakaan pribadi di rumah pribadi seperti gambar di atas?

Woow.. saya yakin pasti banyak yg sedang mengangguk-angguk saat membaca pertanyaan itu.

Sama seperti kalian, saya juga mau punya perpustakaan sendiri. Tapi belakangan ini saya meragukan pertanyaan ini. Kenapa?

Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go — especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil — and also her father.

To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is Valentine behind the killings — and if he is, what is he trying to do? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father?

In this breathtaking sequel to City of Bones, Cassandra Clare lures her readers back into the dark grip of New York City's Downworld, where love is never safe and power becomes the deadliest temptation.

One boy . . .

One dragon . . .

A world of adventure.

When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.

Overnight his simple life is shattered, and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic, and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds.

Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands.

City of Bones - Cassandra Clare

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder—much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It’s hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing—not even a smear of blood—to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

This is Clary’s first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It’s also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace’s world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know.
