Blurb:

Dear Reader,

I'm sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very first page of this book when the children are at the beach and receive terrible news, continuing on through the entire story, disaster lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune.

In this short book alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, and cold porridge for breakfast.

It is my sad duty to write down these unpleasant tales, but there is nothing stopping you from putting this book down at once and reading something happy, if you prefer that sort of thing.

With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

Ulasan:

Aku membaca ulang seri ini setelah mendengar kabar bahwa seri ini akan dibuat serial televisinya. Pertama kali aku membaca kisah ini adalah ketika aku seumuran Klaus Baudelaire. Buku yang kubaca saat itu adalah versi Bahasa Indonesia. 

A Night Like This by Julia Quinn (Smythe-Smithe Quartet #2)

E-book, English edition, 292 pages
My rating: 3 of 5 stars 

Blurb:

Anne Wynter might not be who she says she is…

But she's managing quite well as a governess to three highborn young ladies. Her job can be a challenge — in a single week she finds herself hiding in a closet full of tubas, playing an evil queen in a play that might be a tragedy (or might be a comedy—no one is sure), and tending to the wounds of the oh-so-dashing Earl of Winstead. After years of dodging unwanted advances, he's the first man who has truly tempted her, and it's getting harder and harder to remind herself that a governess has no business flirting with a nobleman.


Daniel Smythe-Smith might be in mortal danger…

But that's not going to stop the young earl from falling in love. And when he spies a mysterious woman at his family's annual musicale, he vows to pursue her, even if that means spending his days with a ten-year-old who thinks she's a unicorn. But Daniel has an enemy, one who has vowed to see him dead. And when Anne is thrown into peril, he will stop at nothing to ensure their happy ending… 

Ulasan:

Buku kedua seri Smythe-Smith Quartet menceritakan Daniel Smythe-Smith, kakak laki-laki Honoria Smythe-Smite. Awalnya aku merasa bingung mengapa Daniel yang diceritakan karena laki-laki tidak bermain dalam musicale Smythe-Smith yang terkenal kacau itu. Tapi ternyata pasangannya adalah salah satu pemain dalam musicale itu.

Ulasan:

Setelah membaca seri Bridgerton, aku jadi suka dengan tulisan-tulisan Julia Quinn terutama untuk penyegaran karena banyak lucunya. Tapi kalau terus-menerus membaca hisrom rasanya juga jadi jenuh. Karena itulah aku membaca hisrom hanya sesekali dan tidak sering, agar cita rasa ceritanya selalu segar. Hehehee…

A Crown of Wishes by Roshani Chokshi
Published: 2017
E-book, English edition, 369 pages
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sinopsis:

An ancient mystery. An unlikely union. For one young princess in a state of peril, a dangerous wish could be the only answer…

She is the princess of Bharata—captured by her kingdom’s enemies, a prisoner of war. Now that she faces a future of exile and scorn, Gauri has nothing left to lose. But should she trust Vikram, the notoriously cunning prince of a neighboring land? He promises her freedom in exchange for her battle prowess. Together they can team up and win the Tournament of Wishes, a competition held in a mythical city where the Lord of Wealth promises a wish to the victor. 

It seems like a foolproof plan—until Gauri and Vikram arrive at the tournament and find that danger takes on new shapes: poisonous courtesans, mischievous story birds, a feast of fears, and twisted fairy revels. New trials will test their devotion, strength, and wits. But what Gauri and Vikram will soon discover is that there’s nothing more dangerous than what they most desire.

Ulasan:

Aku menyukai buku pertama yang ditulis penulis (A Star-Touched Queen) karena memberikan kesan fantasi yang berbeda. Karena itulah, aku senang ketika penulis membuat karya lagi yang melibatkan Gauri dan Vikram, dua tokoh favoritku. Gabungan fairytale, mitos, petualangan, dan romansanya diramu sedemikian rupa sehingga kesan magisnya terasa kental dan menyentuh. Memang, pace-nya agak lambat, tapi buku keduanya memiliki pace yang agak lebih cepat.

Sinopsis:

“Kami akan mengadakan permainan Pelacakan Pembunuhan,” jelas Mrs. Oliver pada Hercule Poirot.
“Permainan apa?” tanya detektif kenamaan itu.
“Masing-masing peserta diberi sejumlah petunjuk yang akan menuntunnya ke tempat mayat. Barang siapa yang bisa menebak pembunuhnya, dialah pemenangnya, dan Andalah, M. Poirot, yang akan menyampaikan hadiahnya.”
“Lalu siapa yang menjadi mayatnya?” tanya Poirot.
“Mari saya perkenalkan.”
Waktu Poirot memasuki kamar itu, dilihatnya seorang gadis tergeletak di lantai, tak bergerak.
“Marlene ini benar-benar aktris yang hebat, bukan?” seru Mrs. Oliver. “Dia menjadi ‘mayat’ yang begitu meyakinkan.”
“Terlalu meyakinkan,” kata Poirot sambil mengangkat kepala gadis itu. “Dia telah terbunuh lima belas menit yang lalu!”

Ulasan:

Adanya Mrs. Oliver yang disebut-sebut dalam sinopsisnya membuatku beranggapan kalau ceritanya bakal heboh dan seru.

The Bride Wore Size 12 by Meg Cabot (Heather Wells #5)

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Blurb:

Heather Wells is used to having her cake and eating it too, but this time her cake just might be cooked. Her wedding cake, that is.

With her upcoming nuptials to PI Cooper Cartwright only weeks away, Heather's already stressed. And when a pretty junior turns up dead, Heather's sure things can't get worse—until every student in the dorm where she works is a possible suspect, and Heather's long-lost mother shows up.

Heather has no time for a tearful mother and bride reunion. She has a wedding to pull off and a murder to solve. Instead of wedding bells, she might be hearing wedding bullets, but she's determined to bring the bad guys to justice if it's the last thing she does . . . and this time, it just might be.

Ulasan:

Ini buku terakhir seri Heather Wells. Kesannya lebih santai daripada buku-buku sebelumnya. Lebih banyak kegiatan sehari-hari yang diceritakan. Seperti: semester akan dimulai, masa orientasi mahasiswa akan berlangsung, dan Heather sedang mempersiapkan pernikahan.

Blurb:

Summer break . . . and the livin' ain't easy!

Just because the students at New York College have flown the coop doesn't mean assistant residence hall director Heather Wells can relax. Fischer Hall is busier than ever, filled with squealing thirteen- and fourteen-year-old girls attending the first ever Tania Trace Teen Rock Camp, hosted by pop sensation Tania Trace herself—who just happens to be newly married to Heather's ex-boyfriend, heartthrob Jordan Cartwright. But the real headache begins when the producer of a reality TV show starring Tania winds up dead . . . and it's clear that the star was the intended victim.

Grant Cartwright, head of Cartwright Records, wants to keep his daughter-in-law (and his highest-earning performer) alive. So he hires his oldest son, black sheep of the family and private investigator Cooper Cartwright—who just happens to be Heather's new fiancÉ. Heather should leave the detecting to Cooper. But with a dorm full of hysterical mini-divas-in-training, she can't help but get involved. And after Tania shares a really shocking secret with her, this reality suddenly becomes more dangerously real than anyone ever anticipated.

Ulasan:

Sepertinya begitu membaca seri Heather Wells jadi nggak bisa berhenti. Meg Cabot bikin nagih! Kali ini liburan musim panas, jadi asrama Fischer Hall kosong karena para mahasiswa pergi liburan. Cartwright Records ingin membuat reality show tentang Rock Camp gadis penyanyi yang diketuai oleh Tania Trace, istri mantan pacar Heather. Dan lokasi pembuatan reality show itu adalah di Fischer Hall. Para gadis belia yang mengikuti camp harus menginap di asrama Fischer Hall untuk sementara.

Big Boned by Meg Cabot (Heather Wells #3)

E-book, English edition, 280 pages

Blurb:

Life is reasonably rosy for plus-size ex-pop star turned Assistant Dormitory Director and sometime sleuth Heather Wells. Her freeloading ex-con dad is finally moving out. She still yearns for her hot landlord, Cooper Cartwright, but her relationship with "rebound beau," vigorous vegan math professor Tad Tocco, is more than satisfactory. Best of all, nobody has died lately in "Death Dorm," the aptly nicknamed student residence that Heather assistant-directs. Of course every silver lining ultimately has some black cloud attached. And when the latest murdered corpse to clutter up her jurisdiction turns out to be her exceedingly unlovable boss, Heather finds herself on the shortlist of prime suspects—along with the rabble-rousing boyfriend of her high-strung student assistant and an indecently handsome young campus minister who's been accused of taking liberties with certain girls' choir members.

With fame beckoning her back into show business (as the star of a new kids' show!) it's a really bad time to get wrapped up in another homicide. Plus Tad's been working himself up to ask her a Big Question, which Heather's not sure she has an answer for . . .

Ulasan:

Hidup Heather Wells berjalan lancar setelah kasus sebelumnya tertangani. Walaupun itu artinya ia mendapat bos baru lagi, karena bos lamanya dipromosikan. Ia juga masih kuliah di tempatnya bekerja. Lebih baik lagi, ia dapat pacar.

Size 14 Is Not Fat Either by Meg Cabot (Heather Wells #2)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
E-book, English edition, 344 pages

Blurb:

Former pop star Heather Wells has settled nicely into her new life as assistant dorm director at New York College—a career that does not require her to drape her size 12 body in embarrassingly skimpy outfits. She can even cope (sort of) with her rocker ex-boyfriend's upcoming nuptials, which the press has dubbed The Celebrity Wedding of the Decade. But she's definitely having a hard time dealing with the situation in the dormitory kitchen—where a cheerleader has lost her head on the first day of the semester. (Actually, her head is accounted for—it's her torso that's AWOL.)

Surrounded by hysterical students—with her ex-con father on her doorstep and her ex-love bombarding her with unwanted phone calls—Heather welcomes the opportunity to play detective . . . again. If it gets her mind off her personal problems—and teams her up again with the gorgeous P.I. who owns the brownstone where she lives—it's all good. But the murder trail is leading the average-sized amateur investigator into a shadowy world. And if she doesn't watch her step, Heather will soon be singing her swan song!

Ulasan:

Masih bersama Heather Wells, si mantan selebritis yang tidak meneruskan karir menyanyinya. Ia sudah bekerja cukup lama sebagai asisten direktur asrama mahasiswa di New York, jadi ia bisa memperoleh beasiswa untuk kuliah di tempatnya bekerja. Sayangnya, ia harus mengulang ujian matematika. Tempatnya bekerja mendapatkan bos baru. Dan reputasi tempatnya bekerja jadi buruk karena ada kasus yang diceritakan di buku sebelumnya.

Blurb:

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 . . .

Ulasan:

Kalau melihat judulnya, aku membayangkan ceritanya bertipe metropop-chicklit dengan tokoh utama perempuan dewasa yang bekerja di bidang fashion. Ternyata aku salah.

Adulthood Is a Myth by Sarah Andersen
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing (2016)
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
E-book, English edition, 109 pages

Blurb:

Are you a special snowflake? 

Do you enjoy networking to advance your career? 

Is adulthood an exciting new challenge for which you feel fully prepared? 

Ugh. Please go away.

This book is for the rest of us. These comics document the wasting of entire beautiful weekends on the internet, the unbearable agony of holding hands on the street with a gorgeous guy, dreaming all day of getting home and back into pajamas, and wondering when, exactly, this adulthood thing begins. In other words, the horrors and awkwardnesses of young modern life. 

Ulasan:

Ini bukan komik. Lebih seperti doodle art. Gambarnya sederhana. Pesan yang disampaikan juga simple dan straightforward. Tapi ngena banget dengan kehidupan sehari-hari dewasa muda. Terutama perempuan. Dan para introvert.

Ia termasuk lima besar di kelasnya di Harvard Law School. Tawaran pekerjaan mengalir dari biro-biro hukum terbaik di Amerika. Tapi pilihannya justru membawa bencana.

Ketika Mitch McDeere memutuskan bekerja pada biro hukum Bendini, Lambert dan Locke di Memphis, ia mengira jalan menuju kesuksesan telah terbuka bagi dirinya dan istrinya yang cantik, Abby. Biro itu membelikan BMW baginya, membayar pinjaman-pinjamannya, membantunya membeli rumah sekaligus mendekornya.

Mitch McDeere seharusnya ingat kata-kata Ray, kakaknya yang sedang menjalani hukuman lima belas tahun penjara di Tennessee. Tak ada yang cuma-cuma di dunia ini. Tiba-tiba FBI tertarik untuk menyelidiki biro itu, dan mereka membutuhkan bantuan Mitch. Mitch pun terjepit di antara dua pilihan. Ia harus membuat keputusan kalau ingin tetap hidup.

Ulasan:

Aku sudah sangsi akan bisa menyelesaikan buku ini dengan cepat. Walaupun bukunya berukuran kecil, tapi tebalnya lebih dari 600 halaman. Apalagi temanya adalah tentang hukum, yang notabene bukan bidangku. Tapi aku menyukai keseruan dan ketegangan, dan buku ini menyajikan keduanya. Selain itu, buku ini ditulis oleh penulis favoritku. Ternyata tidak terlalu membutuhkan waktu lama untuk menyelesaikannya, tidak seperti dugaanku sebelumnya. Habisnya, begitu mulai membaca, susah sekali untuk berhenti.

Kau... pernah berpikir ingin membunuh seseorang?

Ulasan:

Buku ini tulisannya unik. Ditulis dalam bentuk pidato salah satu tokohnya dan tiap bab-nya adalah cerita yang ditulis tokoh-tokoh yang berbeda. Tapi tetap dapat terbentuk menjadi suatu cerita utuh yang keren. Sekarang aku mengerti mengapa buku ini begitu disukai penggemar misteri-suspense.

The Heroes of Olympus #5: Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Published: 2014
E-book, English edition, 516 pages

Blurb:

Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen—all of them—and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood—the blood of Olympus—in order to wake.

The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it "might" be able to stop a war between the two camps.

The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over.

Review:

Cerita sudah mendekati akhir. High-tension di buku sebelumnya mulai menipis. Bahkan guyonan Leo dan komentar aneh Percy bisa mulai bikin ngikik. Jason pun ternyata juga bisa ngelawak. Tapi suasana mulai serius dan kompleks.

Blurb:

At the conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy’s instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through the Gaea’s forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape?

They have no choice. If the demigods don’t succeed, Gaea’s armies will never die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of Tartarus.

Review:

Yak, mari lanjut lagi maratonnya setelah rehat beberapa hari karena harus fokus ke ujian. Hahaa.. lumayan lah, jadi merasa segar lagi. Tapi tema buku keempat petualangan ketujuh demigod dan kawan-kawannya ini agak lebih berat dari buku-buku sebelumnya.

Blurb:

Annabeth returns in the third installment of the biggest series yet from Rick Riordan, author of the #1 New York Times best-selling Heroes of Olympus, Kane Chronicles, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

In The Son of Neptune, Percy, Hazel, and Frank met in Camp Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of Camp Halfblood, and traveled to the land beyond the gods to complete a dangerous quest. The third book in the Heroes of Olympus series will unite them with Jason, Piper, and Leo. But they number only six--who will complete the Prophecy of Seven?

The Greek and Roman demigods will have to cooperate in order to defeat the giants released by the Earth Mother, Gaea. Then they will have to sail together to the ancient land--Greece itself--to find the Doors of Death. What exactly are the Doors of Death? Much of the prophecy remains a mystery...

With old friends and new friends joining forces, a marvelous ship, fearsome foes, and an exotic setting, The Mark of Athena promises to be another unforgettable adventure by master storyteller Rick Riordan.

Review:

Oh wow. Ini bacaan panjang yang seru. Ramalan tentang tujuh demigod sedang berlangsung. Ketujuhnya akhirnya berkumpul untuk melaksanakan quest yang berbahaya. Cerita ini masih menggunakan multiple pov, dengan tokoh Annabeth, Leo, Piper, dan Percy yang masing-masing mengambil empat bab berurutan.

Blurb:

Seven half-bloods shall answer the call, 
To storm or fire the world must fall. 
An oath to keep with a final breath, 
And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death.

Percy is confused. When he awoke from his long sleep, he didn't know much more than his name. His brain fuzz is lingering, even after the wolf Lupa told him he is a demigod and trained him to fight with the pen/sword in his pocket. Somehow Percy manages to make it to a camp for half-bloods, despite the fact that he has to keep killing monsters along the way. But the camp doesn't ring any bells with him. The only thing he can recall from his past is another name: Annabeth

Hazel is supposed to be dead. When she lived before, she didn't do a very good job of it. Sure, she was an obedient daughter, even when her mother was possessed by greed. But that was the problem — when the Voice took over her mother and commanded Hazel to use her "gift" for an evil purpose, Hazel couldn't say no. Now because of her mistake, the future of the world is at risk. Hazel wished she could ride away from it all on the stallion that appears in her dreams.

Frank is a klutz. His grandmother says he is descended from heroes and can be anything he wants to be, but he doesn't see it. He doesn't even know who his father is. He keeps hoping Apollo will claim him, because the only thing he is good at is archery — although not good enough to win camp war games. His bulky physique makes him feel like an ox, especially infront of Hazel, his closest friend at camp. He trusts her completely — enough to share the secret he holds close to his heart.

Beginning at the "other" camp for half-bloods and extending as far as the land beyond the gods, this breathtaking second installment of the Heroes of Olympus series introduces new demigods, revives fearsome monsters, and features other remarkable creatures, all destined to play a part in the Prophesy of Seven.

Review:

Sekuel ini sama panjangnya dengan buku pertamanya. Setting waktunya bersamaan dengan The Lost Hero, tapi menceritakan tokoh yang berbeda. Sama seperti buku sebelumnya juga, buku ini menggunakan sudut pandang orang ketiga dan multiple pov. Tokohnya adalah Percy, Hazel, dan Frank. Yeah, there’s Percy! [Aku kangen Percy! Woohoooo! *abaikan*] Bedanya, masing-masing mendapatkan empat bab berurutan.

Jason has a problem.
He doesn’t remember anything before waking up in a bus full of kids on a field trip. Apparently he has a girlfriend named Piper, and a best friend named Leo. They’re all students at a boarding school for “bad kids.” What did Jason do to end up here? And where is here, exactly?

Piper has a secret.
Her father has been missing for three days, ever since she had that terrifying nightmare about his being in trouble. Piper doesn’t understand her dream, or why her boyfriend suddenly doesn’t recognize her. When a freak storm hits during the school trip, unleashing strange creatures and whisking her, Jason, and Leo away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood, she has a feeling she’s going to find out.

Leo has a way with tools.
When he sees his cabin at Camp Half-Blood, filled with power tools and machine parts, he feels right at home. But there’s weird stuff, too—like the curse everyone keeps talking about, and some camper who;s gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist that each of them—including Leo—is related to a god. Does this have anything to do with Jason's amnesia, or the fact that Leo keeps seeing ghosts?

Review:

Setelah membaca seri Percy Jackson and The Olympians, aku jadi terkena book-hangover yang cukup lumayan. Jadi kepingin baca karya Pak Rick tentang para demigod lagi. Maka, aku mulai membaca seri ini, dengan kesadaran penuh bahwa tiap akhir bukunya akan membuat pembaca penasaran abis. Karena itulah, buku ini kukumpulkan dulu sebelum kubaca. Hehehee...
