Lucky No. 14 Reading Challenge

Oke saya ngaku dosa dulu. Saya kacrut banget dalam hal partisipasi Reading Challenge. Reading Challenge yang saya ikuti tahun 2013 ini sudah lama tidak saya update dan saya juga malas catch up dengan blogger host reading challenge tersebut.

Akan tetapi... hal itu tidak menyurutkan niat saya untuk ikutan Reading Challenge kembali di tahun 2014. Apalagi kalau Reading Challenge-nya menarik banget semacam yang diadakan mbak Astrid ini.

Buku-buku yang dibaca di tahun 2014 harus memenuhi tema-tema berikut:

1. Visit The Country: Read a book that has setting in a country that you really want to visit in real life. Make sure the setting has a big role in the book and it can make you know a little bit more about your dream destination.

Bangkok: The Journal karangan Moemoe Rizal. Sebenernya penasaran baca buku ini, tapi bukunya lagi dipinjem temen. Kudu minta balik secepatnya!

2. Cover Lust: Pick a book from your shelf that you bought because you fell in love with the cover. Is the content as good as the cover?

The Fault in Our Star karangan John Green deh. Ini sih bukan beli, tapi dikasih. Namun sebenarnya saya sudah naksir sama covernya sejak lama. Jadi boleh dong masuk ke kategori ini?

3. Blame it on Bloggers: Read a book because you’ve read the sparkling reviews from other bloggers. Don’t forget to mention the blogger’s names too!

Maryam karangan Okky Madasari! Thanks to Stefanie [Review Stefanie]

4. Bargain All The Way: Ever buying a book because it’s so cheap you don’t really care about the content? Now it’s time to open the book and find out whether it’s really worth your cents.

The Boys of Summer karangan CJ Duggan. Beli di Smashwords pas cuma $0.99. Sempet baca, tapi nggak lanjut karena keselak sama bacaan lain. Tau-tau pas baca lagi saya udah lupa cerita sebelumnya kayak apa.

5. (Not So) Fresh From the Oven: Do you remember you bought/got a new released book last year but never had a chance to read it? Dig it from your pile and bring back the 2013.

Wonder karangan RJ Palacio. Beli persis di penghujung tahun lalu.

6. First Letter’s Rule: Read a book which title begins with the same letter as your name (for me, Astrid means A, and I can read anything that started with the letter A). Remember: Articles like “a”, “an” or “the” doesn’t count :)

The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. Danforth.

7. Once Upon a Time: Choose a book that’s been published for the first time before you were born (not necessarily has to be a classic book, just something a little bit older than you is okay. You can read the most recent edition if you want to)

Peter Pan karangan JM Barrie. Ngakunya sih fairy tale favorit, tapi kok ya bukunya belum dibaca sampai sekarang. Hihi

8. Chunky Brick: Take a deep breath, and read a book that has more than 500 pages. Yep, the one that you’ve always been afraid of!

Educating Caroline karangan Patricia Cabot. Mungkin berubah kalau tiba-tiba saya niat baca sekarang.

9. Favorite Author: You like their books, but there are too many titles. This is your chance, choose a book that’s been written by your fave author but you haven’t got time to read it before.

Mungkin akan baca Dunia Mara karangan Sitta Karina. Kan mau terbit nih bukunya. Dulu waktu cerita ini dimuat di Gogirl, saya susah juga ngikutinnya, soalnya saya udah nggak cocok baca Gogirl lagi. hehe.

10. It’s Been There Forever: Pick up a book that has been there on your shelf for more than a year, clean up the dust and start to read it now :)

A Gentleman's Honor karangan Stephanie Laurens. Sudah lama banget saya beli buku ini, waktu lagi diskon, eeeh malah dianggurin.

11. Movies vs Books: You’ve seen the movie adaptation (or planned to see it soon) but never had time to read the book. It’s time to read it now, so you can compare the book vs the movie.

Water for Elephants karangan Sarah Gruen.

12. Freebies Time: What’s the LAST free book you’ve got? Whether it’s from giveaway, a birthday gift or a surprise from someone special, don’t hold back any longer. Open the book and start reading it now :D

Waking Up Married karangan Mira Lyn Kelly

13. Not My Cup of Tea: Reach out to a genre that you’ve never tried (or probably just disliked) before. Whether it’s a romance, horror or non fiction, maybe you will find a hidden gem!

Pengen coba baca Dunia Kafka-nya Haruki Murakami. Tahun lalu dapet hadiah giveaway buku ini eeh sampai sekarang belum dibaca.

14. Walking Down The Memory Lane: Ever had a book that you loved so much as a kid? Or a book that you wish you could read when you were just a child? Grab it now and prepare for a wonderful journey to the past. Comic books or graphic novels are allowed!

Nanti saya pikirkan lagi....

Nah itu kira-kira rencana baca saya. Tentunya masih bisa berubah dong. Moga-moga challenge yang ini sukses, nggak mandek kayak challenge tahun 2013.
