Yang ada di benakku selama baca adalah: "wah, dunia sempit sekali. Kayaknya Ray terlalu banyak bertemu dengan 'kebetulan' selama hidupnya."

Bukan buku favoritku, masih dipegang oleh Tentang Kamu, tapi tetap suka cara penyampaian dan pesan yang disampaikan di sini. Karakter utama seperti manusia pada umumnya, punya sisi "jahat" dan juga sisi "baik"

In this book, we're looking through Felix Love's love and life experiences. It's easy to read, but also gives us some new perspective that could make us learn and understand more about finding your identity

4.0

It's a lovely journey of Rintaro and a cat who wants Rintaro to come with him and saved books. There are four labyrinths with with different book saving cases in each of them. Every chapters give us important messages and lessons.

I listened to the audiobook, and I'm going to say that Sōsuke Natsukawa succeeded building a world that would make the reader drowned in it. It feels like I was there following Rintaro and The Cat's adventure as the third person, experiencing every bits of detail with them, not just as a reader who's currently reading their story. Listening to this book is lovely, heartwarming, and I very much enjoyed every seconds of it.

3.5

It's a cute book, and suitable for a light reading. Might give you some new insights of K-pop and korean cultures, although i think some of the characters could have more important roles and explorations. Love the friendship dynamics between Jenny and Sori. I think Jaewoo is a considerate guy

Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies by J.K. Rowling

3.0

"If there's one thing these stories prove, it's that heroism comes in all shapes, sizes and varieties. After all, you don't have to be a sword-wielding Gryffindor to be a hero; sometimes, all it takes is having your heart in the right place."

I think it's interesting to finally get to know other characters's history in Harry's life. Makes me understand their story and role more

Honeymoon Express by Mia Arsjad

4.0

"Kadang-kadang jelas-jelas Tuhan sudah mempermudah segalanya. Tapi manusianya sendiri yang membuat semua jadi rumit. Yang lebih ajaib, manusianya suka pusing sendiri atas kerumitan yang dia ciptakan dengan sadar dan kelewat kreatif."

Suka dengan premisnya. Kagum dengan bagaimana Shera mewujudkan mimpinya dan menjalankan dengan sepenuh hati serta penuh semangat yang menggebu-gebu. Bacaan yang cocok dibaca di kala santai.
