Close Up Interview Anggota Blogger Buku Indonesia

dear readers,

pembaca setia blog My Heaven on Earth... udah ikutan give away-ku blum? lhoh? koq belum? udah mo tutup lho... [hihi sempet2in promo dulu... :D ] kalo gak mau ikutan ya gak pa2 juga sih... tapi yang jelas kemeriahan ulang tahun BBI 2013 belum selesai... malah mungkin baru mulai tambah seru... karena hari ini kita posting bareng hasil Close Up Interview...

ehem... ehem... disclaimer dulu ah... ini interview-ku yang pertama... jadi... ya gitu deehhh... :D

bintang tamu kita adalah Andrea Ika Hapsari [lahir 22 April 1978 - happy belated birthday yaaa... ]...

Andrea, sehari2 bekerja jadi dokter spesialis anestesi di Pare Kabupaten Kediri, sudah menikah dan punya seorang anak, yang namanya diabadikan jadi nama blognya Kayla on Books.

Andrea mulai nge-blog tahun 2010 tapi blum pake blogspot, masih pake wordpress dan tumblr isinya geje, campur campur...

untuk bisa nge-blog, Andrea belajar sendiri alias otodidak, dan biasanya untuk ngeblog pakai HP lewat aplikasi ke 3 - aplikasi blogger. kenapa? karena kerjaan sehari2 yang 24 jam tidak memungkinkan untuk bisa nangkring di depan pc or lappy.

Andrea akan nyempetin ngeblog sesuai dengan jadwal operasi-nya. kalo jadwalnya padat kudu kesana kemari ya tidak sempet. menurut Andrea, sebenernya dia lebih eksis di twitter, tapi kalo di twit apa yang disampaikan hanya berumur sehari dan dibatasi karakter. jadi media blog lebih mewakili kebutuhan untuk tulisan yang lebih panjang. mau follow Andrea? follow aja akunnya: @nonik_hollanda.

dan Andrea punya blog buku juga baru, sejak awal Februari. hobi dia kan baca buku, menurut dia kenapa Ъќ>:/ ditulis ulang supaya apa yang kita dapat dari membaca tidak menguap... dia baca buku tiap hari, kesempatannya disela2 operasi, jeda waktu antar acara. dia baca semua genre buku, walaupun sebenernya suka sekali fiksi fantasi [hihi sama dong kita... :D]. jadi kalo baca blog Andrea, genrenya macam2. rata2 semua buku yang dibaca selalu dibuat reviewnya. cuma karena waktu yang sempit, dan sinyal HP di kotanya gak sebagus kota besar.. agak lama mereviewnya. tapi waktu membacanya sih malah cepat, sehari rata2 2 buku [WOW!!].

Andrea kenal BBI dari Ъќ>:/ sengaja browsing dan melihat blog milik anggota BBI. lalu dia berfikir selama ini pun dia penimbun dan pembaca buku, kenapa Ъќ>:/ ditulis lagi apa yang dia dapatkan dari situ. lalu Andrea mendaftar BBI dan resmi terdaftar Maret 2013.

Andrea pengen jadi anggota aktif, cuma kesibukan jadi dokter anestesi yang 24 jam kadang jadi kendala. sementara ini kegiatan sebagai anggota BBI cuma ikut challenge2 dan close up interview [yay! ini dia interview-nya :D].

Andrea punya tujuan spesifik mengikuti BBI yaitu agar kedepannya budaya membaca tidak luntur, makin banyak kenal anggota BBI yang punya basic berbeda dengan dia, yang akan membuat wawasan kita jadi luas.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY BBI! semoga keinginan Andrea terwujud yaaa... ;-)

gimana? jadi kenal Andrea lebih baik? jalan2 dong ke blognya... di http://susunanbuku.blogspot.com/ [blognya keren banget ttaauuu... ] :D
makasih yaa udah jadi pembaca yang baik...

semoga pembaca yang belum jadi anggota BBI tergerak untuk jadi anggota BBI, rajin baca buku dan rajin sharing review buku ke temen2 anggota BBI lainnya... :D

see you again next time soon...

Riri - XOXO

GOOD LUCK and HAPPY BIRTHDAY BBI!!

In Flight by R.K. Lilley

In Flight (Up In The Air, #1)

by R.K. Lilley

ebook, 263 pages

He never spoke of love, or even how much he cared.  It made it easier for me to do what needed to be done.  It helped me to tell myself, We barely know each other.  This could all mean nothing to him in a month.  If he had said he loved me, I might not have been able to manage it. 

Yeah… that's what Bianca think at the last pages on In Flight…

3 out of 5 stars from me… bukannya gak suka sama ceritanya, tapi ceritanya sama sekali gak "baru", beautiful young woman who know nothing about a rich around twenties possesive billionaire and who happens have a BFF with a gay man…

mirip banget sama Bared to You-nya Sylvia Day… atau mungkin sedikit juga FSoG-nya E.L. James dari segi BDSM-nya… walaupun di FSoG gak ada tuh BDSM-nya… klo disini malah ada... dikit2… :d

peran utamanya Bianca Karlsson, a Swedish, tall blonde young woman, kerja jadi first class stewardess, aku suka sama Bianca, tough banget… ya memang latar belakangnya bikin dia tough, dan gak terlalu cengeng kaya' Eva di Bared to You apalagi gak oon kaya' Anastasia di FSoG… #eh!

dan James Cavendish [aku koq keingetan nama makanan mulu ya klo baca Cavendish ini... lah ternyata it's Cavendish Banana... XD ]… anyway, lengkapnya…. James Archibald Basil Cavendish, The Third., billionaire yang jadi yatim piatu sejak umur belasan tahun, punya latar belakang yang menyedihkan, tapi dianya sendiri nyebelin banget… mungkin karena kebiasaan selalu dapet apa yang dia mau yaa… dia sama sekali gak nganggep perasaan Bianca, egois banget deh…

sejak mereka pertama kali ketemu, keduanya udah saling tertarik, dan setelah ketemu kedua kali, James langsung ngejer2 Bianca, awalnya sih Bianca gak mau… tapi akhirnya gak tahan nolak juga…

tapi sejak awal Bianca emang gak ada niatan bwat punya hubungan sama James… just sex! 

walaupun yaa... mau gak mau lama2 kan perasaan jadi kebawa juga...

anehnya Jamesnya sejak awal udah posesif, dia gak mau Bianca "deket" sama orang lain, cemburuan abis, tapi ya sama sekali gak mau terbuka juga sama Bianca… yaaa… gitu deh mungkin tipikal orang yang suka kuasa, yang dia pikir ya dirinya sendiri aja…

tadinya Bianca gak tau apa2 tentang James, setelah ketemu sama salah satu ex-nya, Bianca cari tau, browsing2 gitu deh tentang James… mulai deh ketauan…

akhirnya Bianca mutusin James… dan bukunya selesai… gitu doang… bersambung ke buku dua,

JAMES AND BIANCA’S STORY CONTINUES IN MILE HIGH

garing ya? :d

Rebel Heart by Moira Young

Rebel Heart (Dust Land #2)
by Moira Young

ebook, 234 pages

cerita buku kedua ini cukup berbeda dengan buku yang pertama... bahasanya juga berasa lebih enak dibaca… mungkin karena udah mulai kebiasa juga sih… walaupun kalau dari sisi actionnya lebih seru buku yang pertama... menurutku buku kedua ini lebih mengaduk2 perasaan... and i can't keep my mind off since i finished reading the book...

aku jadi ikutan galau... (._.')

gimana gak, karakter yang aku harapkan bakalan muncul lagi memang muncul tapi bener2 mengejutkan...

he's so sweet yet he's so evil! >,<

don't get me wrong... aku tetep lebih seneng Saba sama Jack [ooohhh... why is the name keep coming as Jack XD - akan ada berapa banyak tokoh cowok dengan nama Jack sih? :d ]

didn't i always tipped you that i wrote spoilers? :D

but, DeMalo... is a mysterious man, and he is hopelessly romantic...
have a romantic dream together with Saba... so gentle to Saba and never force Saba...
it's true that Saba came to him freely...
ooohh... it's just broke my heart that they couldn't be together... because he is an evil man...
an evil man with a dream...

and Jack... i mean... i guess he is true selfish...
he should've thought that Saba is traveling with her family... and Saba is not alone... and Saba might not make it if she's alone...
what did he meant by giving her heartstone to Maev, making a timeline and everything but somehow didn't even make it to the meeting point... - bwat apa coba! doh!

XD
i hate him for that...
i mean i hate the author for that... gak ada cara lain apa untuk bikin Saba balik ke New Eden?
sekarang baru berasa kalo bagian ini maksa banget...

and what's up with Tommo anyway?
and why the hell Saba was kissing him?
i mean isn't it enough trouble already... and the love triangle and everything?
but i have a feeling that he's been saved for the next story with his father or family... and because it's him right? the one who seeing Saba and Jack together...

and Lugh?
i know he has a problem and he won't tell Saba about it... but i don't think he has the right to blame Saba for what happened... he can't!
who's the one who turns away when Maev still alive?

alright... now about the story...
you may read my review on the Blood Red Road book on my previous review...

after her effort to safe her brother, Lugh, who was kidnapped, Saba with Lugh, Emmi & Tommo were headed west to the Big Water... a new place to start their new life together...
however, they're kinda lost and Saba is having a hard time to cope her guilty feeling of killing people..
then out of nowhere a wolfdog was coming, it's their friend's dog..
Trackers is his name, lead them to Auriel, a shaman to can see everything, the future and the past.. she mends Saba..
then Maev, a warrior who helped Saba fighting to get Lugh, came bringing bad news and Saba's heartstone which she's given to Jack so that Jack could find her..

a heartstone is a stone which becomes hot where we're near by to the one of our heart's desire, it will lead you to your heart's desire

Maev said Jack is becoming the bad people but Saba refused to believe and came to meet Jack as his message to Maev..

just like in the first book, Saba has a dream.. and it's happening..
but when her heartstone is warm and becoming hot.. she thought she's going to see Jack.. but she's meeting DeMalo instead.. what's that
supposed to mean? i have no idea..

but if i'm thinking about DeMalo it's kinda sad..

once he said to Saba..

You amaze me, he says. We’re perfect together. He turns my head to the side. Touches his lips to the back of my neck. Your first-time mark, he whispers. You chose me to put it there. Above all others, you chose me.

You gave yourself to me, he says. And I gave myself to you. Freely. Not just our bodies, it’s more than that. Much more. You felt it too. I know you did. We’re going to be so beautiful together, he whispers. So perfectly beautiful. In our perfectly beautiful, perfect new world.


Saba? she's just being selfish... >.<

and i gave it 4 and a half out of 5 stars... for being like and a bit don't like at the same time...

We don’t choose the times we’re born in, he says. That’s the business of the stars. The only choice we got is what we do while we’re here. To make it mean somethin.
