]]> The Night Circus 9361589
But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underwaya duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into lovea deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.

True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.

Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.]]> 506 Erin Morgenstern Rini 4
The beginning of the book keeps me wanting more. The peculiar world the author makes us feel, the strangely new feeling for me. So, that makes me keep reading it. In the middle part I find some so-typical romance that makes me mutter ah well... For the ending, it seems the author ended the story so abruptly like "ok sekarang abangnya mau pulang". I was like uh okay...

Overall, it is a magical, interesting, enchanting, and peculiar story! I love that. ]]> 4.00 2011 The Night Circus

Di sebuah senja, di sebuah rumah susun di Jakarta, mahasiswa bernama Biru Laut disergap empat lelaki tak dikenal. Bersama kawan-kawannya, Daniel Tumbuan, Sunu Dyantoro, Alex Perazon, dia dibawa ke sebuah tempat yang tak dikenal. Berbulan-bulan mereka disekap, diinterogasi, dipukul, ditendang, digantung, dan disetrum agar bersedia menjawab satu pertanyaan penting: siapakah yang berdiri di balik gerakan aktivis dan mahasiswa saat itu.

Jakarta, Juni 1998

Keluarga Arya Wibisono, seperti biasa, pada hari Minggu sore memasak bersama, menyediakan makanan kesukaan Biru Laut. Sang ayah akan meletakkan satu piring untuk dirinya, satu piring untuk sang ibu, satu piring untuk Biru Laut, dan satu piring untuk si bungsu Asmara Jati. Mereka duduk menanti dan menanti. Tapi Biru Laut tak kunjung muncul.

Jakarta, 2000

Asmara Jati, adik Biru Laut, beserta Tim Komisi Orang Hilang yang dipimpin Aswin Pradana mencoba mencari jejak mereka yang hilang serta merekam dan mempelajari testimoni mereka yang kembali. Anjani, kekasih Laut, para orangtua dan istri aktivis yang hilang menuntut kejelasan tentang anggota keluarga mereka. Sementara Biru Laut, dari dasar laut yang sunyi bercerita kepada kita, kepada dunia tentang apa yang terjadi pada dirinya dan kawan-kawannya.

Laut Bercerita, novel terbaru Leila S.

Trille and Lena may be getting older, but they still find everyday adventure--and trouble--in their coastal village, including sinking every raft they build, getting little sisters stuck up flag poles, and attending those dreaded music lessons. But that's not all. The arrival of a less-than-encouraging new soccer coach is putting twelve-year-old Lena's goalkeeping career in doubt. And Trille is wondering how to impress the girl who has just joined his class. As the best friends battle the elements and their own emotions, one thing is for sure: they're not giving up, not if Lena has anything to do with it! In Maria Parr's follow-up to Adventures with Waffles, the acclaimed author returns to Mathildewick Cove with a rib-tickling story of growing up.]]> 304 Maria Parr 1536207721 Rini 4 4.33 2017 Lena, the Sea, and Me

When a mysterious little free library (guarded by a large orange cat) appears overnight in the small town of Martinville, eleven-year-old Evan plucks two weathered books from its shelves, never suspecting that his life is about to change.

Evan and his best friend Rafe quickly discover a link between one of the old books and a long-ago event that none of the grown-ups want to talk about. The two boys start asking questions whose answers will transform not only their own futures, but the town itself.

Told in turn by a ghost librarian named Al, an aging (but beautiful) cat named Mortimer, and Evan himself, The Lost Library is a timeless story from award-winning authors Rebecca Stead and Wendy Mass. It's about owning your truth, choosing the life you want, and the power of a good book (and, of course, the librarian who gave it to you).]]> 215 Rebecca Stead 1250838819 Rini 4 books-i-own What a plot twist! 4.08 2023 The Lost Library

Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of what really happened the day her daughter died.

But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife's words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her.

To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch -- and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a conwoman, and he's determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather's last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved. Caught in a world of wealth and privilege, with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.]]> 386 Jennifer Lynn Barnes 1368052401 Rini 4 4.13 2020 The Inheritance Games (The Inheritance Games, #1)

]]> <![CDATA[The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life]]> 28257707 Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9780062457738

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.

For decades, weve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Lets be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesnt sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it isa dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, lets-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.

There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.]]> 212 Mark Manson Rini 4 3.87 2016 The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

Lily hasnt always had it easy, but thats never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. Shes come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lilys life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.

Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. Hes also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesnt hurt. Lily cant get him out of her head. But Ryles complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his no dating rule, she cant help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.

As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.]]> 386 Colleen Hoover 1668021048 Rini 4 4.11 2016 It Ends with Us (It Ends with Us, #1)

Volume I includes the early novel A Study in Scarlet, which introduced the eccentric genius of Sherlock Holmes to the world. This baffling murder mystery, with the cryptic word Rache written in blood, first brought Holmes together with Dr. John Watson. Next, The Sign of Four presents Holmess famous seven percent solution and the strange puzzle of Mary Morstan in the quintessential locked - room mystery. Also included are Holmess feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the chilling The Adventure of the Speckled Band, the baffling riddle of The Musgrave Ritual, and the ingeniously plotted The Five Orange Pips, tales that bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.

]]> The Coincidence Authority 22591505
Thomas Post is an expert on coincidence. He's an authority. Every coincidence, he says, can be explained by the cold laws of chance. But why then do coincidences so afflict the life of Azalea Lewis? And why has Thomas Post's orderly life been thrown into such disarray by the coincidences of Azalea?

This is the tale of two lost souls, each with a quest to understand the secret patterns hidden in a very random universe. It is the story of the short but eventful life of Azalea Lewis, a foundling child discovered at a travelling fair; and it is the unfolding story of Thomas Post who looks for patterns in a haphazard world, and who finds his belief in the fabric of life challenged by Azalea. From the windswept tranquillity of a Manx village, to the commuter swarms of London, to the brutal abduction of child soldiers in Africa, this is a search for truth, a search for God, a search for love, and a search for a decent pizza in North London.]]> 304 J.W.

Born in 1775 to wealthy parents in Hampshire, England, Jane Austen is best known for her ironic accounts of the British landed gentry from which she arose. Her novels, particularly Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Mansfield Park, mark a literary transition towards 19th century realism, and address with skillful humor and rounded intelligence various institutions of marriage, manners and manicured English society. For her body of work, Austen is widely considered to be the first woman to write great comic novels.

Vivian Heller received her Ph.D. in English Literature and Modern Studies from Yale University. She is author of Joyce, Decadence, and Emancipation(University of Illinois Press) and of The City Beneath Us (W.W. Norton & Company), a history of the building of the New York City subway system. She is an associate at Columbias School of Professional Studies and is the writing tutor for the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. She is also a long-standing member of the non-fiction committee of the PEN Prison-Writing Committee, which awards prizes to inmates from across the country.

Essential Classics publishes the most crucial literary works throughout history, with a unique introduction to each, making them the perfect treasure for any readers shelf.

One of the most universally loved and admired English novels, Pride and Prejudice, was penned as a popular entertainment. But the consummate artistry of Jean Austen (1775-1817) transformed this effervescent tale of rural romance into a witty, shrewdly observed satire of English country life that is now regarded as one or the principal treasures of English literature. In a remote Hertfordshire village, far off the good coach roads of George IIIs England, a country squire of no great means must marry off his five vivacious daughters. At the heart of this all consuming enterprise are his headstrong second daughter Elizabeth Bennet and her aristocratic suitor Fitzwilliam Darcy -two lovers whose pride must be humbled and prejudices dissolved before the novel can come to its splendid conclusion.]]> 262 Jane Austen 0486284735 Rini 0 to-read 4.27 1813 Pride and Prejudice

For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, the Franks and another family lived cloistered in the Secret Annexe of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and surprisingly humorous, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short.

Buku Tere Liye yang ke berapa gak tau yang aku baca. Dikasih mbak Miil karena not her cuppa tea. Buku bang Tere itu selalu gak nyangka aja gitu. Judulnya pergi bakal ngira gimana kan, tapi ternyata maknanya lebih dalam. Salah satu quote yang aku suka.

]]> Janji 58611248 Ada yang kaya, pun ada yang miskin. Ada yang terkenal, ternama, berkuasa, juga ada
yang bukan siapa-siapa.
Ada yang seolah bisa membeli apapun, melakukan apapun yang dia mau, hebat sekali.
Ada yang bahkan bingung besok harus makan apa.
Tapi sesungguhnya di manakah kebahagiaan itu hinggap?
Di manakah hakikat kehidupan itu tersembunyi?
Apakah seperti yang kita lihat dari luar saja?
Inilah kisah tentang janji.
Kita semua adalah pengembara di dunia ini.
Dari hari ke hari. Dari satu tempat ke tempat lain.
Dari satu kejadian ke kejadian lain. Terus mengembara.
Dan kita pasti akan menggenapkan janji yang satu ini: mati.]]> 488 Tere Liye 6239726206 Rini 5 books-i-own "Mintalah tolong dengan sabar dan shalat".

Today, however, the stories are admired for their intense and masterly dissection of "dear dirty Dublin," and for the economy and grace with which Joyce invested this youthful fiction. From "The Sisters," the first story, illuminating a young boy's initial encounter with death, through the final piece, "The Dead," considered a masterpiece of the form, these tales represent, as Joyce himself explained, a chapter in the moral history of Ireland that would give the Irish "one good look at themselves." But in the end the stories are not just about the Irish; they represent moments of revelation common to all people.]]> 272 James Joyce 6020629694 Rini 0 books-i-own, to-read 3.33 1914 Dubliners
