January's Reading Progress

1.     What: "The Fault in Our Stars. (Salahkan Bintang-Bintang)"

Who: Written by John Green

When: 31 Des-1 Jan

Where: Bought in Gunung Agung BCP, Bekasi

Why: With no reason! Lol. I was bored to death at that time so i went to the bookstore. And then i saw it on the shelf of the latest books... The perfection of the cover, and the synopsis which is sooo kewl..... I couldn’t refuse to buy it! Voilaaaaa~

How: The story? It’s a perfect story for your new year’s eve!!! I could’t handle my tears. That was my very first time reading John Green’s book and his words are so completely beautiful..

Undoubtedly, you should read it by yourself.

2.     What "The Bartimaeus Trilogy #3: The Ptolemy's Gate"

Who: By Jonathan Stroud
When: In the middle of my semester's last exam
Where: Bought in Gramedia Merdeka, Bandung
Why: Had searched of this trilogy since a long time ago. And just found it last October -_- But i got it at the bazaar! Yay, discount :D I was so interested because people said, these are books that will make you laugh even when you read its footnote. And crap, they're right! :D
How: The third book of the Barti trilogy is a great ending, i think. How i fell in love with Ptolemy, how i changed my thoughts over Nathaniel, and how i really like Barti! He's a very sarcastic genie that will make you dreaming to get along with him someday :)

3.     What "Divergent"

Who: By Veronica Roth

When: 24-26 Jan

Where: Bought in Gunung Agung BCP, Bekasi

Why: This is one of the NYT Best-seller for YA category so... yeah beside i was (and still) looking for any dystopia novels.

How: I couldn't stop reading this in about 100-200 first pages. But then, i don't know, there's so many thing i don't like from this first book of the trilogy. A bit boring at the end.

4.     What "Insurgent"

Who: By Veronica Roth

When: 26-27 Jan

Where: Bought in Gunung Agung BCP, Bekasi

Why: The same reason like why i bought Divergent. I didn't want to wait another day to continue reading this trilogy so i bought these 2 books.

How: More boring than Divergent -_____- I don't know is it just me, but the plot moves too slow. Slow and un-sure (?) Not a kind of dystopia novel i'd recommend. But seems like i will still read the last one. I have no choice, have to end what i've started. :))

5.     What "Legend"

Who: By Marie Lu

When: 29 Jan

Where: Bought in Gramedia MM, Bekasi

Why: Because of Kak Pipi! LOL! :))) And i was also in searching for another great dystopia novel.

How: This one is much better than Divergent & Insurgent omg :') Darker, simpler, but touchier! Surely, the second and third sequel are the ones i'm waiting for!
