Another Year

I thank God for this long weekend, having holiday from Thursday to Sunday give me some time to read the novel I've been waiting for almost a year. Eventhough I still have some other tasks to do, still I can't wait to read this book and know where the story goes.

So this book is The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan



Well I miss Percy Jackson and Annabeth a lot and I'm gonna miss them again because the next novel which is The House of Hades will be released on October 2013. Oh my, another year of waiting and I believe the waiting will be worth it. Hopefully.

I love the novels made by Rick Riordan. I like how he made the conversations so real and normal, and I love the myths, both the greek and the egyptian myths. Yes, I like history, myths, and museums. Well it's me being nerdy.

Cheers

Good Books

Well, I'm amazed on how good books and great stories could make me awake for hours in the middle of the night without even recognizing the hours that passed. Sometimes I just want to keep reading and finish the book in one big gulp but the guilty feeling of staying awake at those sleeping hours force me to close my book and sleep. It is actually happening these days since I don't really have much time during the day, and the time left to read novels is during the night.

Really at one point I wanna know how the stories goes so badly I want to finish them but when it comes to the end of the book, I feel like I'm losing my best friend. Lucky me, I have no problem on reading the same books or watching the same movies again and again and again. They actually bring back good memories, good stories, good feeling of having a great company.

Really in the time of weary and under pressure, I will read my favorite novels for the second times, third times or the n-times, because they calm me down and lighten up my days. Though sometimes I will read those books again just to remember how the stories go and yes they lighten up my days.

I hope you find what can calms you down and lighten your days as what the stories do to me :)

Happiest time of the week

The Son of Neptune

Novel ini dikarang oleh Rick Riordan, one of my favourite writer beside Christopher Paolini, Nicholas Spark, C.S. Lewis, J.K Rowling and so many others.

Suka banget sama novel2 yang dikarang sama Rick Riordan, dari 5 buku Percy Jackson, trus lanjutannya yaitu seri The Heroes of Olympus sampe The Kane Chronicles.. 

The Son of Neptune ini salah satu seri dari Heroes of Olympus. Seneng banget setelah nunggu berbulan2, akhirnya dia terbit juga dan bisa langsung dapet ebooknya inggrisnya (thanks to my bro) yang bisa dibaca di kindle, ebook reader gaul (thanks to my bro, again, yang uda beliin, :) ).

Hmm setelah dbaca.. ah.. Keren! Suka banget sama novelnya, sama sukanya ke semua novel Rick Riordan.
Sayangnya buku berikutnya, The Mark of Athena terbitnya fall tahun depan.. Nunggu lagi stahun..

Selain novel ini, hari ini novel Inheritance karangan Christopher Paolini keluar juga! wooho! Novel yg bahasa inggrisnya belum ada sih, tapi uda pesen ke amazon lewat bukabuku.com.
