01

Five Feet Apart

"Five Feet Apart"​ published in 2018 written by Rachael Lippincott with Mikko Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis

"Five Feet Apart"

This is my most favorite novel because it makes me cry a bucket! I would suggest everyone to read this book it is one of the most heart touching book I've read in my life. A perfect combination of love, friendship, struggles and ''a lesson to how to live the life with full bloom" . It has the power to not let you keep it aside even for a moment. After reading just few chapters I totally fell in love with the book. I've never read a more inspiring, motivational and beautiful novel. It's always gonna be my favorite no matter what that's for sure.

~~

Can you love someone you can never touch?

Stella Grant likes to be in control—even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions.

The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals.

Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly six feet doesn’t feel like safety. It feels like punishment.

What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children

"Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children" published in 2011, written by Ransom Riggs.​

"Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children"

It was a great bone chilling books that I thought rather enjoyable. From the start to finish it grabs your attention and makes you feel as if you're in the book. The sensory details and language this book uses is incredible. I am excited to read the second book in this trilogy once I can afford to buy it. Once again a really great book I would most definitely recommend. This book really set me on my path to enjoy reading with its horrifying moments that really capture the moment of true terror. It may have a slow beginning but it really makes you fell like the main character might be crazy and seeing things. But once it gets going i doesn't stop and I love that about it.

~~

A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience.

As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow-impossible though it seems-they may still be alive.

A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

06

Dr. Alpha Male

"Dr. Alpha Male" published in 2017 written Anjell.

"Dr. Alpha Male"

Anjell is my most favorite novel's writer. Anjell’s style of jigsaw puzzle! Love it!!! Anjell always amaze me with her writing!

It just like any typical Malay novel. But, the way the writer writes makes you fall in love with the characters. Even though many of the scenes can be considered cliche...

P.s: The heroine has an infatuation with Magnum Gold ice cream will make you want one. Like I did.

~~

Alpha Male. Kata kunci seorang alpha male adalah keyakinan! Yakin dengan rupanya. Yakin dengan gayanya. Dan dah tentulah yakin dengan percakapannya. Kalau tak, takkanlah terkeluar kata-kata ini ketika kali pertama mereka berdua berlanggar di depan sebuah kedai.

“Dah habis tenung dah? Tak nak ambil gambar ke? Letak bawah bantal. Malam-malam boleh cium.” – HILMAN UKASYAH

Wow! Speechless terus Tristin Hazel mendengarnya! Apatah lagi mulut si mamat itu menyambung.

“Lain kali jalan guna mata. Menyusahkan orang aje. Sebab tu Tuhan ciptakan mata kat kepala. Bukan kat lutut.” – HILMAN UKASYAH

Kena pula si lawannya Hazel, si kaki menjawab kelas pertama. Memang taklah dia nak duduk diam! Apatah lagi semuanya bukan salahnya. “Cakap elok-elok sikit tak boleh ke, sedara?” – TRISTIN HAZEL

Dan beberapa hari selepas itu, rasa macam nak kena serangan jantung Hazel apabila orang sama yang dilanggar itu tiba-tiba buat grand entrance di tengah-tengah dewan kuliah. Ya… Dengan rasminya, alpha male tu dah bertukar jadi pensyarahnya. Permulaan perkenalan mereka tak indah langsung. Kena maki, dah. Menangis, pun dah. Hubungan pun tak lebih daripada pensyarah-pelajar. Dr. Alpha Male barbarian bak kata Hazel. Sehinggalah satu malam yang membawa sisi protective daripada si Dr. Alpha Male itu untuk Hazel. Hilman selalu ada untuk memberi Hazel semangat. Rupa-rupanya apa yang jadi itu membawa kepada pembongkaran kisah yang baru. Malam itu cumalah satu permulaan!

Dan… Setelah itu Hazel selalu menjadi Damsel in Distress dan Hilman pula tak putus-putus menjadi Knight in Shining Armornya. Kerana janji Hilman padanya… “I’ll do my best to protect you. Anything. I’ll even be taking a bullet for you.” – HILMAN UKASYAH

Namun, mampukah segalanya terbongkar? Adakah semuanya memang dirancang? Atau sebenarnya hanyalah helah untuk memperdaya?

Dheo's

"Dheo's" pubished in 2018 written by Anjell.​

"Dheo's"

I just love Anjell's books haha. How did I know about this book? Well... it's because of Dr. Alpha Male (short form: DAM). And thats when I start to buy all of Anjell's books ehee. To be honest, at first I fell in love with Hilman but after Dheo's cameo in DAM, I cheated on Hilman because I fell in love with Dheo (opss! Sorry Hilman dear!).

He got that more Alpha male's aura. Like what Hazel called him, Alpha Male 2.0. Yes, it's true. What do you think happens next after I finished read DAM, huh? Go to the nearest bookstore and find Dheo's?

Yup. It's true. As soon as I finished read DAM, I go to the nearest bookstore to find Dheo's and grab it. Lucky me, I got my Dheo and feel very happy. As soon as I back from the bookstore, I started to read Dheo's and without my realization, I finished it in two hours.

I can't believe I did finished read Dheo's. Unsatisfied because I want more and more from the author (now, I heard she's in progress to publish Rose's, right? The prequel of Dheo's. Okay, I can't wait for that).

And end of my story about how I met Dheo. Now, the real review...

1) I love the whole plot and storyline. Serious. Fullstop.

2) I love Nurissa's characteristic and Dheo's characteristic. An innocent woman who's very curious about what happened to her before she lost all of her memories and an Italian-Chinese hotstuff that's cold like an iceberg. I also love the supporting characters, Lucca, Fahim, Dr. Arrazi, Arrayan and Nafisha (they'll get their own book, right? I can't wait anymore).

3) This book made me became curious just like Nurissa too. I want to know who's Dheo to Nurissa. And I don't expect that their relationship is... (no spoiler here). I'm speechless! Really!

4) The ending made me cry and cry. Okayy!!

~~

Siapa sangka di balik kepolosan wajahnya, Nurissa Rose pernah berperang dengan maut? Kemalangan teruk yang berlaku bukan sahaja menyebabkan dia koma setahun, malah sebaik sahaja dia membuka mata, tiada langsung memori silamnya.

Tiga tahun berlalu, kehidupannya kembali normal meskipun tanpa ingatan. Hanya dikelilingi oleh orang-orang kesayangannya. Sehinggalah suatu hari, kematian ayahnya membawa kepada perkenalannya dengan lelaki bernama Dheo Han.

Dheo Han. Punya aura penuh misteri. Di balik wajah beku dan mata dinginnya itu, Nurissa tahu pasti ada rahsia yang tersimpan. Sesuatu yang gelap dan juga bahaya! Bukan sembarangan orang kalau dah bekas samseng pun tunduk hormat kepadanya. Apatah lagi lelaki itu sendiri pernah memberi amaran kepadanya.

“You can’t have things for me. I’m out of your league.” – DHEO HAN

Namun bagaikan magnet, dia tertarik jua dengan lelaki itu. Setiap apa yang dilakukan Dheo, pasti rasa dekat dalam hati. Bagaikan déjà vu. Firasat ternyata betul. Dheo merupakan seseorang yang mengenalinya dulu.

“Kenapa pura-pura tak kenal saya?” – NURISSA ROSE

“Saya kenal awak. Tapi tak bermaksud kita rapat. Mungkin saya adalah seseorang yang awak benci.” – DHEO HAN

Jadi, siapakah Dheo Han yang sebenarnya? Seseorang yang tiba-tiba muncul setelah empat tahun pasti punya motif sendiri, kan? Dalam mencari kebenaran, kejutan demi kejutan diterima Nurissa. Rupanya hidupnya sebelum ini memang jauh dari normal. Dan apabila semua kebenaran terbongkar, mampukah Nurissa menerimanya?

Suamiku Paling Sweet

"Suamiku Paling Sweet" published in 2014 written by Anjell.

"Suamiku Paling Sweet"

And again... Anjell! Should I said the hubby is too sweet to be truth? hahaha...but still I enjoy it every moment..this is second book I have read from Anjell after "Tundukkan Playboy Itu". What can I say? But it surely shows much more improvement in emotion and writing style although the cliche type is still there. Overall I enjoy both books and because of Hafiy also this book shows "sifat kekeluargaan yang tinggi".

“Mama... Nak tolong tu memanglah boleh. Tapi ada ke patut suruh Sya jadi orang gaji rumah dia? Waaa... Mama, Sya goreng telur pun boleh terbelah lima kuali, tahu tak?”- QISYA IRIS

Rela dalam paksa, Qisya terpaksa mengikut kata mamanya, menjadi orang gaji di rumah kawan mamanya. Dua bulan. Namun, sudah cukup untuk mengubah hidupnya bila dia terpaksa menjadi isteri dan mummy orang dalam usia yang cukup muda, 22 tahun. Marah. Benci. Tak boleh terima kenyataan. Cukup membayangkan perasaan Qisya sehingga hampir sahaja Izz Haikal diterajangnya pada malam perkahwinan mereka. Tapi, berbeza pula dengan penerimaan Izz. Hanya tenang dan menerima semuanya.

“Macam mana cincin ni ada kat sini?” – IZZ

“Macam mana cincin ni ada kat sini? Sebab dia tak ada dalam kotaklah.”- QISYA

“Wrong answer. Cincin ni ada kat sini sebab dia dah temui pemilik dia.”- IZZ

Cincin tersarung di jari Qisya menandakan kesudian Qisya untuk terus hidup bersama Izz. Hari demi hari berlalu, cukup untuk Izz leburkan hati Qisya. Diikutkan saja kepala isterinya yang masih remaja itu.

Baik, penyayang, penyabar, romantik. Pendek kata Izz sangat sempurna pada Qisya. Sampaikan kalaulah boleh diceritakan kepada semua orang, nak saja dia bukukan, letak tajuk Suamiku Paling Sweet sebab memang dia rasa Izzlah suami yang sangat sempurna padanya.

Dan Qisya tahu satu rahsia besar! Rahsia yang buat air matanya tak henti-henti mengalir. Rahsia yang buatkan Qisya mahu cium tangan Izz untuk meminta keampunan. Buatkan dia mahu peluk Izz ketat-ketat sebagai tanda terima kasih tak terkira. Sesungguhnya Izz tahu segalanya.
