I read “Kiss Me In New York” last Christmas and ever since, I just found out that two people stuck in the airport because of winter storm near the holiday is my favorite background for a fiction books. I love planes, I love winter, perfect match. But just like “Kiss Me In New York”, the story turned out to be just meeeeehhdicore for me. Maybe it’s a good book for anyone else, maybe it’s just me, don’t get me wrong. Maybe because the background situation is my favorite so that I have a huge expectation for the story and it let me down. I don’t know, maybe. They both are blue colored on the cover, so, yah, I also hope that the book would be 4 out of 5, not just 3. The Chaos of Standing Still is 3 out of 5 for me. Dang, it got 3 just because the background story, the new year’s eve theme, the blizzard, the on the plane and airport situation, contain psychiatry content, and the book cover design, the actual love story between Ryn and Xander is just B for me.

My bedroom right now is a mess! Haha, and it ain’t beautiful. Dirty laundry on the floor, printer on the bed, postcards and stickers all over my desk, my arms right now literally above them while I’m typing. But one thing that I promise today, no matter what happen, I’m not gonna let anything stop me from being productive. Actually nothing happened today, just some typical and reaaalllyyyy suck situation that I already used to it. Actually…I might severe from Monday Blues syndrome. Right now is Sunday night and I feel like I don’t get anything from my two days in a row holiday and had to go to work tomorrow, nooooo. Well, I actually got few things, but still, feels empty inside. Package from Penerbit Haru arrived to my house yesterday, I literally got a book for free and all I had to do is just post it on my Instagram, no commitment or target, wow now no wonder why so many people obsessed to be a selebgram. I’ll definitely post about it soon but right now I’m gonna blog about another thing… I think two years ago I’ve been to Periplus in Pondok Indah Mall before because I’m looking for an English adult coloring book (just looking, can’t find it anyway), oh and another visit was on the airport when I went to Singapore few years ago. This is actually the first time I went to Periplus since I really love reading imported books. Mostly I bought my books online. Dan ternyata di Periplus lebih murah yaaaaa dibandingkan di online shop hahaha. “Mulai saat ini saya berjanji tidak akan beli buku di online shop lagi kecuali bukunya nggak ada di Periplus…atau kalo covernya bagusan di online shop.” That’s my promise. And I got to say I was mind blown by the collection that they have in Periplus. I don’t even know what to buy, I really want Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them or Beauty and The Beast: Lost in a Book. Tapi entah kenapa pilihan jatuh ke Inside Out – Driven By Emotions. Yes I have watched the movie before but it’s not a crime to read a based-by-the-movie-book. Harus diakui bahwa sejak baca Frozen Heart-nya Frozen, gue jadi sangat tertarik untuk baca versi lain dari sebuah film, dan pilihannya nggak banyak. I hope this Inside Out book is one them.
Well, sebenernya gue beli buku ini karena lihat sale di salah satu online shop yang jual buku import di Instagram (sengaja ga nyebut nama karena sebel dengan pelayanan shippingnya yang nggak cepat). Harganya murah, cuma Rp. 95.000 edisi paperback, hehe. Dan sampai detik ini gue masih pengen baca apapun itu yang ada hubungannya sama winter dan melengkapi kokeksi gue. Dan kaching, beli deh ini.
I am SO EXCITED when I found this book! Nggak nyangka bisa nemu versi cover yang ini, karena yang available di toko buku adalah yang agak merah warnanya dan nggak ada snowflake nya. This one is so pretty. Rejeki emang nggak kemana :")
Sebagai bagian dari postingan gue di blog planner ini, gue bikin pedampingnya untuk nulis tentang buku yang gue bikin reading trackernya di bullet journal.
It’s My True Love Gave to Me, a collection of a winter themed love stories edited by Stephanie Perkins who also edited the summer version of this book which is ‘Summer Days and Summer Nights’. Gue benci mengakuinya karena terkesan tidak professional, (memang tidak ada satupun dari semua hal ini yang professional haha) tapi yang membuat gue tertarik dengan buku ini adalah dari covernya. I finally get my hands of Disney's "A Frozen Heart", and I am so excited to blog about it right now.
Price in Bahasa: Rp. 65.000,- Price in English: Rp. 189.000,- Cukup jauh ye bedanya, yang gue beli di Paperclip adalah english version, design cover antara yang English dan Bahasa sih sama persis, tapi yang English ini hardcover, cantik banget. Me likey. |
