Lara Jean menyimpan surat-surat cintanya di sebuah kotak topi pemberian ibunya.
Surat-surat itu bukan surat cinta yang ditujukan untuknya, tapi surat yang ia tulis. Ada satu surat untuk setiap cowok yang pernah ia cintai—totalnya ada lima pucuk surat. Setiap kali menulis, ia mencurahkan semua perasaannya. Ia menulis seolah-olah mereka tidak akan pernah membacanya karena surat itu memang hanya untuk dirinya sendiri.
Sampai suatu hari, semua surat-surat rahasianya itu tanpa sengaja terkirimkan—entah oleh siapa.
Saat itu juga, kehidupan cinta Lara Jean yang awalnya biasa-biasa saja menjadi tak terkendali. Kekacauan itu melibatkan melibatkan semua cowok yang pernah ia tulis di surat cintanya—termasuk cinta pertamanya, pacar kakaknya, dan cowok terkeren di sekolah.

That's why you need commitment.

From now on, start loving someone,
because you want to.

Well, hello guys! I'm sure you guys are wondering why am I starting another book tag/meme when my other memes were never regularly posted. Well, yes you're right I don't really post memes regularly but I'll make an exception this time. So when I was blogwalking. I saw that kak Astrid on Books to Share was holding a giveaway where the requirement is for the participants to post a Wishful Wednesday post. Now, I'm doing it.

I sure hope I can continue doing this meme every Wednesday so at least when I don't post reviews there'll still be new posts on my blog. Here's my first Wishful Wednesday!

Halo, namaku Jenny Angkasa dan hidupku saat ini bagaikan deretan mimpi buruk.

Pertama-tama, aku dimusuhi Hanny, cewek paling populer di sekolah yang tadinya adalah sahabatku satu-satunya. Mantan sohibku itu kini menganggapku lebih rendah daripada amuba, bahkan aku dikutuk untuk menjalani hidup sial selamanya.
Kedua, dua teman sekelasku yang memiliki nama yang sama denganku mengalami kecelakaan yang sangat mengerikan. Berdasarkan observasi umum, aku akan menjadi korban berikutnya. Bagaimana aku tidak deg-degan?
Ketiga, aku mulai uring-uringan tinggal di rumah yang sudah kudiami selama enam tahun terakhir ini. Memang sih, kabarnya rumahku dihantui oleh wanita bergaun putih dan berambut panjang serta seorang anak perempuan kecil. Tapi selama ini kami hidup berdampingan tanpa saling mengganggu kok. Kini, mendadak saja di rumahku muncul kejadian misterius.
Apa yang terjadi sebenarnya? Benarkah penyebab semua masalah ini adalah hantu-hantu masa lalu? Atau gara-gara kutukan Hanny yang ternyata manjur banget?

Atau ada misteri lain di balik semua ini?

Book Review: The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein

No comments
Author: Shel Silverstein
Publisher: HarperCollins
Pages: 64
Format: E-book
Published: February, 2014
Price: $11.99 -> Rp156.020 (Amazon)
Rating: 3 / 5 stars

Date started: April 2, 2015 - Date finished: April 2, 2015

Synopsis:
"Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy."
So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein.
Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave.
This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein has created a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return.
