Little Piece of World

         One of the thing that bothered me when I read a book is instant love, I don't understand why an author decide to make their male and female protagonist to fall in love exactly in the first time they meet, it's not romantic, it's absurd. There is a case when the main character is a soulmate who fated to be together and made for each other and when the male protagonist meet the female protagonist for the first time, he/she/or they just BANG! suddenly head over heels over each other for the next minute, the so called 'Fate' is definitely loose a brake. Love need time to invest then grow so I don't believe in instant love, think again, even instant noodle need times to be ready, moreover love, right?

Danur by Risa Saraswati My rating: 3 of 5 stars Synopsis "Jangan heran jika mendapatiku sedang berbicara sendirian atau tertawa tanpa seorang pun terlihat sedang bersamaku. Saat itu. mungkin saja aku sedang bersama salah satu dari lima sahabatku. Kalian mungkin tak melihatnya.... Wajar. Mereka memang tak kasat mata dan sering disebut... hantu. Ya, mereka adalah hantu, jiwa-jiwa penasaran atas kehidupan yang dianggap mereka tidak adil. Kelebihanku dapat melihat mereka adalah anugerah sekaligus kutukanku. Kelebihan ini membawaku ke dalam persahabatan unik dengan lima anak hantu Belanda. Hari-hariku dilewati dengan canda tawa Peter, pertengkaran Hans dan Hendrick—dua sahabat yang sering berkelahi—alunan lirih biola William, dan tak lupa: rengekan si Bungsu Johnsen.

Wow, so its been two years I skip writing here. It's 2015, I'm still sew, reading books more than last year, my english skill hit a rock bottom than ever and begin to draw again. Took two years to gain a courage to start draw and still a baby step now. I'll rambling talk about books, exact book, that trigger this desire to write again. So I read this YA books about an alien, not my usual things yes, it's an enjoyable book at first but given it a YA, angst all over the place, the drama and heroine who keep doing stupid things again and again make me tired more than read man-eating dragon, war, decapitated theme book. I'm in denial phase that I can't sit well anymore with YA books, enough amount of teenager drama can make my eyes fall out of socket bcs its rolling too much but in other hand I believe there is a worth searching YA-gem that not involved love triangle, too much drama and angst filled every inch of the paragraph. 8.9.15
