I'll Be Right There by Kyung-sook Shin
4.0
I can almost see how this book would look if it were turned into big screen. This book is about devastation over the death of closest ones during the time of political turmoil in South Korea. Slow burner, but worth every second of it.

The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante
4.0
Oh my god! I started reading this without expecting anything but holy mother mary... should’ve paid more attention to the title! The way Elena Ferrante deliver the emotions, the feeling of being abandoned... everything’s VIVID in my mind. The book gently nudge more unpacked familiar packages that have been sitting hidden in the deepest hole of my mind to the surface and i had no choice but open and process them. I WOULD REALLY love to get my hand on the printed version. Oh god oh god what a pleasant experience!!!
Anak Semua Bangsa by Pramoedya Ananta Toer
5.0
seharusnya selesai dalam hitungan hari, tapi saya memang terlalu mudah terdistraksi oleh judul-judul lain dan kegiatan penunjang kehidupan yang amat membosankan.
babak terakhir sungguh membuat haru dan sedih, bagian yang paling saya suka:
"Siapa bilang bukan urusanku?" bantah Kommer.
"Semua yang terjadi di bawah kolong langit adalah urusan setiap orang yang berpikir."
..."Kalau kemanusiaan tersinggung," Kommer meneruskan, "semua orang yang berperasaan dan berpikiran waras ikut tersinggung, kecuali orang gila dan orang yang memang berjiwa kriminil, biarpun dia sarjana."

The Joys of Motherhood by Buchi Emecheta
5.0
I don’t even know where to start. I wanted to believe the title of the book until the last time. The story of Nnu Ego is one of the gut-wrenching one. Makes me really think that women, in any time, any world, can only be daughters, sisters, wives, and/or mothers. They can never be themselves. And that is okay. That is noble. Depends on how you see it.
Are Prisons Obsolete? by Angela Y. Davis
5.0
Finishing this amidst of us presidential election is truly surreal. I firstly cannot imagine how the world could be if prisons were abolished, but now i can imagine the works that need to be done. That maybe, little by little, it’s not so impossible.
Harmless Like You by Rowan Hisayo Buchanan
5.0
The way Buchanan weaves her words is truly exceptional. This was a beautiful journey and certainly a beautiful book.
