Trees of Reverie Read A Thon - December 2014

#treesofreveriereadathon

Seeing my read list this month I feel so ashamed. Only FOUR books people! Let me tell you! Maybe it has something to do with my exams last week, or maybe I just forget the joy of reading new books. I don't know. I just want it to pass quickly.

So I am going to do a Read A Thon! This is the first time I'm doing it, but I've seen other blogger doing it some other times ago, so I'm not that confused. Besides, the FAQ that Sarah made makes it hard to feel confused, it's so detail.

Trees of Reverie is a blog by Sarah in Tumblr, and I feel pretty sure she is the one I usually see in Epic Read's channel on YouTube. Hmm..

Anyway, she hold a Trees of Reverie Read A Thon every month which I'm going to join next month.

And these are the books I'll read : 

1. The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

2. Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas

3. Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick

4. A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray

5. Ten by Gretchen McNeil

You can find more information in her blog, FAQ, and how to be an Official Participant.

See you in #treesofreveriereadathon on Dec 6!

My swoon : Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie

He leaned forward and kissed her softly, his mouth fitting hers so perfectly that she trembled. She tasted the heat of him and licked the chocolate off his lip and felt his tongue against hers, hot and devastating, and when he broke the kiss, she was breathless and dizzy and aching for more. He held her eyes, looking as dazed as she felt, but she wasn't deceived at all, she knew what he was.
She just didn't care. 
"More," she said, and he reached for the pastry, but she said, "No, you," and grabbed his shirt to pull him closer, and he kissed her hard this time, his hand on the back of her head, and she fell into him, as glitter exploded behind her eyelids. She felt his hand on her waist, sliding hot under her sweater, and her blood surged, and the rush in her head said, THIS one.

[Meme] Scene On Three #01

source pic : here

Ohayou ~ Pertama kalinya ikutan Scene on Three nih. Scene on Three adalah meme yang di posting per tanggal yang ada angka 3-nya, yaitu : 3,13,23,30,31. Created by Bacaan B.Zee. Belum kenalan sih sama yang punya, tapi aku ingin ikutan berbagi adegan-adegan favorit juga, mulai dari yang paling aku suka ya : when they fall in love.

“The first day I met Bryce Loski, I flipped. Honestly, one look at him and I became a lunatic. It's his eyes. Something in his eyes. They're blue, and framed in the blackness of his lashes, they're dazzling. Absolutely breathtaking.” *Juli “A month ago I also wouldn't have paid any attention to the picture of Juli, but now I found myself staring at it. Not the one of the whole scene — that was more emergency rescue equipment than Juli. The other one, on the bottom half of the page. Someone must've used a killer telephoto lens, because you can tell that she's in the tree, but it's mostly from the shoulders up. She's looking off into the distance and the wind is blowing her hair back like she's at the helm of a ship or something, sailing into the sun. I'd spent so many years avoiding Juli Baker that I'd never really looked at her, and now all of a sudden I couldn't stop.” *Bryce

They're so cute. Juli pertama kali jatuh cinta pada Bryce waktu masih kelas 2 SD sementara Bryce pas SMP baru mulai melihat Juli sebagai lawan jenis. Bryce ngeri banget sama sikap Juli dari kecil soalnya. Gimana Juli mengekori Bryce di sekolah, menguntit sampai ke rumah (rumah mereka bersebrangan), sampai ngelabrak anak perempuan yang-katanya- pacaran sama Bryce.

Oh iya, maksud kata-kata picture di atas adalah foto Juli di surat kabar yang memberitakan demo untuk menentang penebangan pohon tua di kompleks rumah Juli. Juli bahkan bolos sekolah untuk mencegah pohon kesukaannya ditebang. Dia tetap kekeuh duduk di salah satu cabang pohon dan menolak untuk turun sampai ayahnya datang dan membujuknya.

Bagi yang ingin ikutan, go ahead lah kalo kata mba zee (eh, mba apa mas sih?), just follow these numbers :

1.      Tuliskan suatu adegan atau deskripsi pemandangan/manusia/situasi/kota dan sebagainya dari buku pilihan kalian ke dalam suatu post.

2.   Jelaskan mengapa adegan atau deskripsi itu menarik, menurut versi kalian masing-masing.

3.   Jangan lupa cantumkan button Scene on Three di dalam post dengan link menuju blog Bacaan B.Zee.

4.   Masukkan link post kalian ke link tools yang ada di bawah post Bacaan B.Zee, sekalian saling mengunjungi sesama peserta Scene on Three.

5.   Meme ini diadakan setiap tanggal yang mengandung angka tiga, sesuai dengan ketersediaan tanggal di bulan tersebut (tanggal 3, 13, 23, 30, dan 31).

Ketika adik perempuannya terpilih mengikuti The Hunger Games, Katniss mengajukan diri untuk menggantikannya. Dan dimulailah pertarungan yang takkan pernah dilupakan Capitol.

[Meme] Top Ten Tuesday : Top Ten Books I Want To Reread

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by ladies from The Broke AndBookish. Something to show off your bookish list of each theme. And this week's theme is Books I Want To Reread. Rereading a book is something I do occasionally, but it doesn’t mean I rarely do it. In fact, I do it often, especially after I was done reading some books. It’s just I kinda confused what to read next and somehow I ended up rereading my books. More like, I was afraid I’d be disappointed with new books so I looked up the books I already loved and sure that they were good. Something like that, I guess.
So, these are the books that I usually reread.

[Review] Wake by Amanda Hocking

Beautiful. Fearless. Dangerous. 

The kind of girls you envy. The kind of girls you wanted to hate.

Strangers in town for the summer, Penn, Thea, and Lexi have caught everyone's attention, including the eye of practical Harper. But it's her sister they've chosen. Sixteen-year-old Gemma seems to have it all - carefree, pretty and falling in love with the boy next door. But her greatest passion is the water. She craves solitary late-night swims under the stars, where she can belong to the sea. But lately she’s had company.

Penn, Thea, and Lexi spend their nights dancing and partying on the cove, and one night Gemma joins them. She wakes, groggy, on the beach the next morning and knows something has changed. Suddenly Gemma is stronger, faster, and more beautiful than ever. And as she discovers her new mythical powers, Gemma is forced to choose between staying with those she loves - or entering a dark world brimming with unimaginable secrets.

[Book Tag] Would You Rather ...

I found this tag on my favorite channel on YouTube, abookutopia by Shasha which was created by RayKayBook. And even though no one tag me on this, but nobody keeping me for not doing this, so I'm doing it! So let's just begin, shall we.

1. Would you rather Read only trilogies or stand alones?
Err, sometimes I like stand alone better than a trilogy, sometimes otherwise. It all depends on the book itself. But if I have to choose, I prefer Trilogies. This way you get to be with the characters longer and know them better. And this actually prevents me from book hangover. Or make it worse.
