Sinopsis:
SAAT MEMUTUSKAN BUAT JATUH CINTA,

LO JUGA MEMBUKA KEMUNGKINAN
CINTA KELAK AKAN BERBALIK NYAKITIN LO...
Dear pembaca,

Rasanya seperti baru kemarin menyelesaikan draf pertama novel ini dan menyerahkannya ke redaksi. Dan kali ini, akhirnya aku mau berterus terang: Jethro Liem dan Tere diciptakan dengan asumsi bahwa mereka akan dibenci pembaca. Keduanya adalah karakter yang tak sempurna dan masing-masing punya alasan untuk tak saling jatuh cinta.
Fakta lainnya adalah: Good Fight ditulis di bawah pengaruh kuat pikiran sinisku saat itu: kalau benar cinta nggak pernah salah, kenapa justru susah sekali bertemu pasangan yang cocok lahir-batin? Dan kenapa yang sering terjadi justru kita harus berurusan dengan mantan ‘beracun’, hubungan tanpa masa depan, dan pengkhianatan yang berujung pada malam-malam penuh air mata?
Jadi bagaimana, setelah semua penjelasan tadi, apakah kamu masih mau menuruti rasa penasaranmu untuk mulai membaca novel ini? Kalau pertanyaan tadi kamu jawab dengan anggukan, aku benar-benar bersyukur sekali bisa mempersembahkan cerita ini untukmu. Selamat membaca dan, seperti biasa...

selamat jatuh cinta.

I apologize for not posting my January book haul in the end of January. I just had a lot going on between college assignments and also I'm currently applying for an exchange program you guys! Wish me luck! So, for the month of January I accumulated quite a lot of books but you can't really see all of them because most of them are in my mom and dad's house. I didn't really spend a lot of money to buy books because most of the books in this haul were given from fellow BBI-ers!! Thanks guys!! *kiss kiss from Italy, Roma*

So I'm going to be dividing this book haul into two parts, books I bought and books given to me.
Well let's see the books that I got!!

#1 New York Times bestselling author of Hopeless joins forces with the New York Times bestselling author of Mud Vein. Together, they have created a gripping, romantic tale unlike any other.

Charlize Wynwood and Silas Nash have been best friends since they could walk. They've been in love since the age of fourteen.
But as of this morning...they are complete strangers.
Their first kiss, their first fight, the moment they fell in love...every memory has vanished.
"I don't care what our real first kiss was," he says. "That's the one I want to remember."
Charlize and Silas must work together to uncover the truth about what happened to them and why. But the more they learn about the couple they used to be...the more they question why they were ever together to begin with.
"I want to remember what it feels like to love someone like that. And not just anyone. I want to know what it feels like to love Charlie."

Synopsis:
Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops was a Sunday Times bestseller, and could be found displayed on bookshop counters up and down the country. The response to the book from booksellers all over the world has been one of heartfelt agreement: it would appear that customers are saying bizarre things all over the place - from asking for books with photographs of Jesus in them, to hunting for the best horse owner's manual that has a detailed chapter on unicorns.
Customer: I had such a crush on Captain Hook when I was younger. Do you think this means I have unresolved issues?
More Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops has yet more tales from the antiquarian bookshop where Jen Campbell works, and includes a selection of 'Weird Things...' sent in from other booksellers across the world. The book is illustrated by the BAFTA winning Brothers McLeod.
