Yes! Day off school!! From midnight till morning, ashes were falling 20km away from Merapi. And now, Jogja is covered with ashes. That made the mayor dismissed all schools. I need to wear a mask to filter volcanic ashes. Here are some pictures from my school.

Hardcover vs Paperback

Buat para pengikut setia novel-novel Bestseller pasti tahu kalau novel baru biasanya terbit versi Hardcover dulu baru setelah itu versi Paperback nya. Ngeselinnya, Hardcover harganya lebih mahal dan format covernya itu berbentuk jacket. Padahal jacketnya itu sering lepas-lepas, dan kalau jacketnya kita lepas dari bukunya, alhasil cover dalem Hardcovernya yang polos itu yang kelihatan. Gara-gara cover polos itu juga, pas kita lagi baca novel, orang lain malah mengira kita lagi baca alkitab gara-gara saking tebelnya dan cover yang nggak biasa buat pembaca buku terjemahan. Tapi disamping itu, Hardcover lebih tahan lama daripada Paperback. Kertasnya juga lebih putih dan bagus daripada Paperback.

Paperback harganya lebih murah dibanding dengan Hardcover. Kualitas kertasnya juga di bawah Hardcover--red: murahan--. Paperback lebih praktis dan ringan buat dibawa-bawa, nggak ribet dengan masalah jacket karena gambar covernya udah langsung di print di cover depan. Tapi, kalau nggak disampul, Paperback langsung ketekuk sudut-sudut covernya, dan kertasnya cepat jadi kuning.

So, which 'Team' are you?

Artemis Fowl: Atlantis Complex

Artemis has committed his entire fortune to a project he believes will save the planet and its inhabitants, both human and fairy. Can it be true? Has goodness taken hold of the world’s greatest teenage criminal mastermind?

Captain Holly Short is unconvinced, and discovers that Artemis is suffering from Atlantis Complex, a psychosis common among guilt-ridden fairies – not humans – and most likely triggered by Artemis’s dabbling with fairy magic. Symptoms include obsessive-compulsive behavior, paranoia, multiple personality disorder and, in extreme cases, embarrassing professions of love to a certain feisty LEPrecon fairy.

Unfortunately, Atlantis Complex has struck at the worst possible time. A deadly foe from Holly’s past is intent on destroying the actual city of Atlantis. Can Artemis escape the confines of his mind – and the grips of a giant squid – in time to save the underwater metropolis and its fairy inhabitants?

New York Times best-selling author Eoin Colfer delivers a knockout, fast-paced, and hilarious adventure in Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex, the seventh book in the blockbuster series.

Artemis have an alter ego! That's what made me interested of this seventh installment of Artemis Fowl series. Today, I've just come home from school when a postman came with a package with my name on it. I didn't even think it was a book that I ordered few months ago. I already read the ebook because I thought the package won't ever come. Now, Artemis Fowl: Atlantis Complex UK edition hardcover is in my hand :)

What The Atlantis Complex lacks in a big way though is Artemis Fowl himself. Unlike his old self, Artemis is so awkward and can't trust anyone. He looks so stupid with his 4 obsession and Orion who is so out of Artemis character--I don't like Orion, not even a little bit--.

Another weakness that I found for book 7 is that the plot is not as complex as usual; I’ve always enjoyed the unpredictable double-cross/triple-cross elements & the mind-twisting tricks that Eoin Colfer adds to the series, but maybe he’s run out of steam this time around.

Well then, let's wait for the eighth book!

Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices)

Magic is dangerous--but love is more dangerous still.

When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos.

Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What's more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own.

Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by--and torn between--two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length...everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world...and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.

I just got the only one left of this book copy from PERIPLUS. I will start off by saying that I was a huge fan of The Mortal Instruments Series. I love the world that Cassandra Clare creates and how immersed that I felt in that world while I was reading these series. I felt the same way, when I started Clockwork Angel. It's kinda dark and mysterious about Will past, Jem, or Tessa ability. Will is kinda look like Jace and Jem is the opposite. The thing that I loved most about Cassie Clare books is the quote in each chapter. And I can't help to not connecting The Infernal Devices character with The Mortal Instruments. I can't wait to reenter the world of Shadowhunters again.

Shiver (Wolves of Mercy Falls) Indonesia

Aku bukanlah bagian dari dunianya... tapi ketika Grace menyebut namaku, menungguku mengikutinya, aku tahu aku akan melakukan apa pun untuk tetap bersamanya.

Sam menjalani dua kehidupan. Pada musim dingin, dia hidup sebagai serigala, dan hanya bisa menatap Grace dalam kebisuannya dari hutan di halaman belakang rumah Grace. Namun dalam kesempatan singkat pada musim panas ketika dia menjadi manusia, Sam tak pernah berani melintasi jarak antara dirinya dan Grace... hingga sekarang.

After school, I felt so bored and I went to Gramedia Sudirman. As usual, I went straight to 'Novel Terjemahan' shelves. And.. I saw Shiver! I didn't even know that Gramedia had a plan to publish Shiver--well, I'm not following Wolves of Mercy Falls--. Then I decided to bought it because this Maggie Stiefvater book is on Amazon.com Teen bestseller list. I think Shiver is Twilight's Team Jacob, I'll read it ASAP after this bloody midterm. :))

Let me introduce

"Hey, I'm Azzaria Alsya Olivia, 14th, girl, Indonesian."
"Oh, cool. Nice to meet you."

The conversation ends here. Have you ever experienced something like that? I'm sure for you who have ever in chat room will say "Yes".

I ♥ books, I eat book.
Especially Young Adult. I'm not a talkative person, but I'm not a nervous person or maybe even over confidence about myself--silly--. So, mostly I'll probably post about the books I've read or will read.

Well then, let's start!
