Wishlistbook : Queen of babble series

Setelah Nikki and Heather Wells series, aku penasaran dengan Queen of babble series.  Belum dapat satu pun. Belum sempat ngubek-ngubek olshop buku langganan.
Konon katanya ada 3 buku:

      


Bukunya tentang apa???

What's an American girl with a big mouth, but an equally big heart, to do?

Lizzie Nichols has a problem, and it isn't that she doesn't have the slightest idea what she's going to do with her life, or that she's blowing what should be her down payment on a cute little Manhattan apartment on a trip to London to visit her long-distance boyfriend, Andrew. But what's the point of planning for the future when she's done it again? See, Lizzie can't keep her mouth shut. And it's not just that she can't keep her own secrets, she can't keep anything to herself.

This time when she opens her big mouth, her good intentions get Andrew in major hot water. So now Lizzie's stuck in London with no boyfriend and no place to stay until the departure date written on her non-refundable airline ticket.

Fortunately, there's Shari, Lizzie's best friend and college roommate, who's spending her summer in southern France, catering weddings with her boyfriend, Chaz, in a sixteenth-century château. One call and Lizzie's on a train to Souillac. Who cares if she's never traveled alone in her life and only speaks rudimentary French? One glimpse of gorgeous Château Mirac - not to mention gorgeous Luke, the son of Château Mirac's owner - and she's smitten.

But while most caterers can be trusted to keep a secret, Lizzie's the exception. And no sooner has the first cork been popped than Luke hates her, the bride is in tears, and it looks like Château Mirac is in danger of becoming a lipo-recovery spa. As if things aren't bad enough, her ex-boyfriend Andrew shows up looking for "closure" (or at least a loan), threatening to ruin everything, especially Lizzie's chance at ever finding real love...

Unless she can figure out a way to use that big mouth of hers to save the day. (book#1)

See??? looks interesting kan yaaa???? Must hunting lah kalau begini ^_^

HEATHER WELLS ROCKS!

Hi all,
Let I introduce you to Heather wells...

HEATHER WELLS ROCKS!

Or, at least, she did. That was before she left the pop-idol life behind after she gained a dress size or two—and lost a boyfriend, a recording contract, and her life savings (when Mom took the money and ran off to Argentina). Now that the glamour and glory days of endless mall appearances are in the past, Heather's perfectly happy with her new size 12 shape (the average for the American woman!) and her new job as an assistant dorm director at one of New York's top colleges. That is, until the dead body of a female student from Heather's residence hall is discovered at the bottom of an elevator shaft.

The cops and the college president are ready to chalk the death off as an accident, the result of reckless youthful mischief. But Heather knows teenage girls . . . and girls do not elevator surf. Yet no one wants to listen—not the police, her colleagues, or the P.I. who owns the brownstone where she lives—even when more students start turning up dead in equally ordinary and subtly sinister ways. So Heather makes the decision to take on yet another new career: as spunky girl detective!

But her new job comes with few benefits, no cheering crowds, and lots of liabilities, some of them potentially fatal. And nothing ticks off a killer more than a portly ex-pop star who's sticking her nose where it doesn't belong .

===============

Oke, Heather ini salah satu tokoh rekaan Meg Cabot. I love this character, she is a great heroine. Heather ini mewakili karakter-karakter wanita modern yang mandiri, bersemangat, namun tetap care pada sekitarnya. Keseluruhan Serial ini terdiri dari 5 buku:

1. Size 12 is Not Fat

2. Size 14 is not Fat Either

3. Big Bones

4. Size 12 and ready to rock

5. The bride wore size 12

'

Aku belum punya seri ke-3nya sih. But overall baca loncat satu buku nggak mempengaruhi "rasanya kok ^_^ Tapi sebagai book lover yang baik, aku merasa harus ngelengkapin serial buku ini (teteup dong hunting big bones ^_^).

Yang suka baca buku detektif tapi nggak suka thriller sadis n serius, buku ini asli cucok dah buat kamu. Heather Wells ini mantan idol remaja yang karena satu dan lain hal terpaksa banting stir jadi assisten gedung tinggal di New York Collage. Di gedung tinggal inilah Heather yang mantan idol mengasah bakat detektifnya.

Ini kisah mysteri yang nggak bikin kamu merinding ketakutan hingga mengalami mimpi-mimpi seram, sebaliknya membaca keseharian heather kamu akan dibawa mengikuti kesibukan-kesibukan khas wanita lajang bekerja dengan semua intrik-intrik hidupnya, termasuk urusan memecahkan beberapa kasus pembunuhan. Tapi pembawaan Heather yang riang dan apa adanya, menjadikannya jenis detektif yang funky abis gitu deh... Seruuu sekaligus menyentuh.

Aku suka karya Meg Cabot, karena diantaranya ia kerap menyisipkan pesan moral berupa kebesaran hati, keteguhan,  perjuangan, hingga persahabatan, dan tentu saja cinta. serial Heather wells ini memiliki semuanya. Love them.

Aku memberi  3 sampai 4 bintang untuk masing-masing buku.

Orderan yang terlupakan

Kaget,  tiba-tiba satpam kantor nganterin paket buku. Perasaan buku orderanku belum dikirim sama salah satu olshop buku langgananku.

lebih kaget lagi,  pengirim paket ini mba Achi TM. Perasaan nggak ikut giveaway apa-apa. Nggak pesan juga sama penulis kondang itu. setelah diinget-inget, jadi inget pernah preorder buku karyanya mba Achi TM sama jeng Sarah Ufaira, penulis skenario yang sekarang sudah merambah dunia copy writing.

Dulu,  aku pertama kali baca novelnya mba Achi TM,  yang judulnya Insyaallah,  sah! dimana abis baca itu,  jadi penasaran dengan karya-karyanya yang lain. Kebetulan Jeng Sarah Ufaira lagi promo Mr&Mrs writer-nya mba Achi TM. Sayangnya,  abis order aku lupa he...he...

Oke deh,  orderan yang terlupakan ini ternyata bisa jadi oase di tengah kehausan baca. Trus...trus...ada bonusya ding,  novel anak. Itu sih bagiannya si Amma. Surprise tuh dia,  dapat buku baru di luar jadwal.

Ready for read pokoknya...
Thank you ya jeng Sarah Ufaira, juga mbak Achi TM.

Reading Challenge 2015 bulan Januari

Biasanya selalu baca buku nggak pernah narget ini itu. Liat thread wara- wiri di beranda FB menyoal reading Challenge 2015, jadi pingin ikut seseruan ^_^.

Chalengge ini diselenggarakan komunitas penimbun buku, yang mau tau, mau gabung, apa mau ikutan challengenya monggo join ya....!

Menanggapi tantangan bulan Januari yang temanya:

• a book with more than 500 pages
• a classic romance
• a book that became a movie
• a book published this year
  
  Berikut listku:

a book with more than 500 pages: Terjemahan Riyadhush Shalihin jilid 1, 811 hal. === Sesuai resolusi diri sendiri dalam rangka penyegaran ingatan dan keilmuan sekaligus mengupgrade keimanan memutuskan membaca kembali kitab ini. Khatam ta'limnya udah bertahun lalu, bisa jadi ilmunya sudah banyak terlupa dan terlalaikan ;(

a classic romance: Lips touch-nya Laini Taylor. === Tiga gadis, tiga ciuman,tiga cinta yang menakjubkan. Konon katanya kebenaran dan fiksi menjadi kabur dalam sihir Laini Taylor 

a book that became a movie: waduuuh, saya bukan penikmat film jadi nggak banyak tau film apa yang diadopsi dari buku. akhirnya memilih The Devil's DNA-nya Peter Blauner. Karya-karya peter belum pernah mengecewakan saya, jadi rasanya saya akan menikmati sekali kisah ini 

a book published this year: Gerbang trinilnya mba Riawany Elita dan mba syila fatar. terbit menjelang akhir tahun 2014 kemaren. Sebuah karya science fiction dengan setting Indonesia. Antara manusia purba dan alien yang berniat menginvasi bumi, perpaduan kisah yang unik dan cetar sepertinya:)




Sepertinya aku pasti akan banyak selingkuh, dari buku-buku ini. Secara aku tipe  moody banget. Baca buku bisa sekali dua atau tiga buku berbeda.

Tapi, apapun...mari membaca !!!!
