have you read Tangled? if you haven't then you should... :D
when
I see Tangled excerpt, I know that I should read it... I really
intrigued by POV from the male character... we seldom can hear, what our
fellow men had to say about their selves or their really opinion about
us, women... and we always curious, right?
so... it was my introduction with Drew... a boyish, sometimes selfish and self-observed man...
when he met Kate, Drew, the womanizer, had to choose and be mature... or acting as an adult once and for all... until he finally can win Kate's heart...
now, after 2 years (in the story)... we've got to hear what's Kate POV...
somehow, Kate has her own insecurity... added by Drew's jumped to conclusion behavior... they created their story together... ;-)
we can learn so much about relationship in this sequel... that sometimes, even though, we're sure that we love each other so much, but in a relationship, we have to build the base... which is trust... we have to trust each other...
what I love about this story is how it's showing every body have their own flaws, that we should learn and try to find ways to overcome them together with our love ones...
I give it 4 out of 5 stars for this sequel... because I love it so much, and can't wait to read the next... yay!
book is your time travelling machine, take you anywhere, anytime... book is my heaven on earth...

Friday's Recommendation #1
selalu dilema antara baca bukunya dulu atau nonton filmnya aja? ;-)
naaahh… klo gitu sekarang aku tambahin dilemanya yaaa… yuuuukkk baca buku ini
filmnya sebentar lagi rilis, klo gak salah bulan Juni, ceritanya tentang apa? tentang bagaimana cara mengisi dan memberi arti hidupmu ketika kamu cuma punya waktu untuk hidup gak lama lagi…
sedih ya ceritanya? oh pastinya… tapi bukan itu koq intinya, kita kan selalu bisa mengambil hikmahnya dan terutama pelajarannya… :D
aku udah baca bukunya dan sangat terkesan, terutama di bagian jalan2 ke Amsterdamnya… aku bayanginnya pasti cantik banget… dan penasaran pengen liat kalo di film-in, sebenernya sih lebih pengen lagi jalan2 kesana… :D
trus kenapa baca bukunya? karena… menurutku pribadi… somehow, buku itu lebih bagus daripada filmnya…
so… yuk… baca dulu sebelum nonton… dan denger2 sih terjemahannya kurang OK, mendingan baca versi aslinya aja… ;-)

[EXCERPT] Twisted (Tangled #2) by Emma Chase
[EXCERPT] Twisted (Tangled #2)
by Emma Chase
I close my eyes and let his words wash over me. Drew has an amazing voice. Calm and soothing - but devilishly seductive at the same time. He totally could’ve gone into radio.
I press another button.
And this time his tone is teasing. “Kaate, you’re late. . Tell Delores to pick out her own god damn shoes. You’ve got a boyfriend who’s sitting in a big, frothy Jacuzzi all by his lonesome. Come home, sweetheart. I’m here waiting for you.”
If only that was true today.
There’s more - some are quick and to the point, some are downright dirty. And I listen to every single one. He doesn’t say ‘I love you’ in any of them - but he doesn’t have to. I hear it in every word. Every time he says my name.
Have you read "Tangled" by Emma Chase? If you haven't then you should... so you'll get to know Drew and Kate, and share their beautiful love story...
Then here's some more... the sequel which will be published by 25 March 2014, come get it now... ;-)
My review will follow soon... meanwhile, if you want to buy/pre-order, here're the links ...

Bio
By day, Emma Chase is a devoted wife and mother of two who resides in a small, rural town in New Jersey. By night she is a keyboard crusader, toiling away the hours to bring her colorful characters and their endless antics to life. She has a long standing love/hate relationship with caffeine.
Emma is an avid reader. Before her children were born she was known to consume whole books in a single day. Writing has also always been a passion and with the 2013 release of her debut romantic comedy, Tangled, the ability to now call herself an author is nothing less than a dream come true.

Heather Lyons' A MATTER OF FOREVER Cover Reveal
We are in love with Heather Lyons' A MATTER OF FOREVER!! A MATTER OF FOREVER is the fourth book, and conclusion, of her Fate Series. This is an upper YA/NA Fantasy series, and one not to be missed!!
A MATTER OF FOREVER SYNOPSIS: It all comes down to this . . . Chloe Lilywhite has struggled for years to find her footing in a series of dangerous and demanding worlds. Creator, first tier Council member, and one of the most powerful Magicals in existence, she was little more than one of Fate’s pawns. But now, Chloe is back home and ready to call the shots. She knows what she wants and who she wants to be. Except the Elders never got the memo. Annar and Magical-kind are under attack. The lives of Chloe’s loved ones, and life as they know it, are at stake. Chloe's the key to taking the Elders down, but they won't go quietly into the night. This time, neither will Chloe.
Other books in the Fate Series:
A MATTER OF FATE, Book 1 Chloe Lilywhite struggles with all the normal problems of a typical seventeen-year-old high school student. Only, Chloe isn’t a normal teenage girl. She’s a Magical, part of a secret race of beings who influence the universe. More importantly, she’s a Creator, which means Fate mapped out her destiny long ago, from her college choice, to where she will live, to even her job. While her friends and relatives relish their future roles, Chloe resents the lack of say in her life, especially when she learns she’s to be guarded against a vengeful group of beings bent on wiping out her kind. Their number one target? Chloe, of course. That’s nothing compared to the boy trouble she’s gotten herself into. Because a guy she’s literally dreamed of and loved her entire life, one she never knew truly existed, shows up in her math class, and with him comes a twin brother she finds herself inexplicably drawn to. Chloe’s once unyielding path now has a lot more choices than she ever thought possible. Amazon Barnes & Noble
A MATTER OF HEART, Book 2 No longer in high school, Chloe Lilywhite is now living and working in Annar, the Magicals’ city-state plane of existence. Since moving, she’s joined the Council, gone on missions with the Guard, moved into her own apartment, and enrolled at the University of Annar. Plus, she’s happily engaged to be married to Jonah Whitecomb, the literal man from her dreams, not to mention her Connection. While she still struggles with aspects of her craft, Chloe feels like she’s finally coming into her own, especially after a difficult year that had her questioning nearly everything in her life. After a brutal attack by the Elders, her life is turned upside down once more. Accusations fly throughout the Council and Guard, forcing Chloe to confront her worst fears about what’s she’s capable of as a Creator. And then there’s the matter of Kellan Whitecomb, Jonah’s twin brother and Chloe’s ex, who resurfaces after disappearing months before. Although Chloe chose Jonah, and despite their best efforts, the two find it hard to stay away from one another. But no matter what Fate throws at her, Chloe is determined to take charge of her life, even as it begins to spiral out of control. Amazon Barnes & Noble
A MATTER OF TRUTH, Book 3 Not long ago, Chloe Lilywhite seemingly had it all: a prized spot on the Magicals’ Council as lead Creator, a loving fiancé and Connection, and a wealth of good friends. But the poised young woman she projected was nothing more than a façade. Her parents all but disowned her. Power plays and accusations of murder within the Council rocked her confidence. And most difficult of all, her secret, a secondary Connection to Jonah’s twin brother, Kellan, became painfully impossible to resist. Desperate to gain control over her rapidly unraveling existence, Chloe did the unthinkable: she ran away. Now living and working in Alaska under an alias, Chloe is slowly discovering who she is and, more importantly, who she wants to be. But the more she tries to leave the Magical world behind, the harder it becomes to stay hidden. The Elders are back with a vengeance, and the stakes have never been higher. Chloe finally has to make a choice: embrace her pre-ordained Fate or pave her own way in the worlds. One thing’s for sure, though—she’s finally up for the challenge. *This is a New Adult title, suitable for readers 18+. Amazon Barnes & Noble
About Heather Lyons: Heather Lyons has always had a thing for words—She’s been writing stories since she was a kid. In addition to writing, she’s also been an archaeologist and a teacher. Heather is a rabid music fan, as evidenced by her (mostly) music-centric blog, and she’s married to an even larger music snob. They’re happily raising three kids who are mini music fiends who love to read and be read to.
