Ketika diceraikan suaminya, Adel didera perasaan rendah diri. Umurnya sudah empat puluh empat. Sudah hampir mati haid. Dia merasa sudah tua, dan tidak menarik lagi.
Dan suaminya, yang memang lebih muda darinya, memilih seorang wanita yang lebih pintar, lebih cantik, lebih muda, lebih agresif.
Dalam keaadaan depresi muncul seorang laki-laki yang menaruh perhatian kepadanya. Laki-laki yang membangkitkan kembali harga dirinya yang runtuh. Laki-laki yang membuatnya sadar bahwa wanita tetap bisa tampil menarik walaupun usianya sudah kepala empat...
Di Ujung Jalan Sunyi
Mengisahkan seorang janda beranak dua di ambang menopause. Dalam kesepian dan kekecewaan dia dihadapkan pada dua pilihan. Menerima kembali bekas suaminya yang ingin rujuk.

Selamat pagi semuanya. Hari baru, tanggal baru, kalender baru, semoga semangatnya terus baru. Melihat antusiasme teman-teman untuk ikutan #dicerollrc saya memutuskan untuk membuka challenge ini selebar-lebarnya, tentunya dengan beberapa persyaratan yang semoga tidak memberatkan.Okay, kita mulai dari April ya karena inspirasi baru muncul pas quarantine corona nih haha
Intinya, saya mengajak teman-teman untuk membaca buku-buku tertentu dengan tema-tema tertentu yang bakal dikocok setiap bulannya (oleh saya, via random.org). Jadi, pantengin akun saya untuk tahu tema baru setiap tanggal 1 yaaa.
Persyaratan challenge ini nggak susah, kok.
1. Kalian diwajibkan follow akun saya (tentu saja supaya nggak ketinggalan info tema barunya).
2. Kalian tidak diwajibkan share pengumuman ini, juga tidak diwajibkan share progress baca. Tapiiii... supaya meramaikan dan banyak teman-teman lain yang tahu challenge ini, kalian boleh menyebarluaskanya menggunakan berbagi sosial media kalian semua. Gunakan tagar #dicerollrc setiap kali membuat postingan yang berhubungan dengan challenge ini.
3. Tag teman-teman kalian yang sekiranya tertarik dengan challenge ini di kolom komentar.
4. Membaca buku sebanyak-banyaknya semampu kalian sesuai tema setiap bulannya.
5. Membuat review buku yang dibaca (boleh dilakukan di satu postingan Instagram, atau di Goodreads, atau di blog).
6. Mengisi form di bit.ly/dicerollrc apabila selesai membaca buku.
7. Boleh membaca buku fisik atau buku digital (asalkan legal, kalau baca buku bajakan, maaf kamu bukan golongan kami π).
Hadiahnya?
Sebagai bentuk apresiasi kepada kalian yang ikutan, saya akan memberi hadiah setiap dua bulan sekali. Mekanisme pemenang dilakukan secara random (sesuai nama, Dice Roll Reading Challenge π²). Hadiah bisa berupa voucher buku, paket spesial, dll. Jangan dilihat dari nominalnya yaaa, yang penting kita semua seru-seruan dan supaya kalian (terutama saya) semangat bacanya kalau sedikit diberi tantangan πππ
Terakhir. Karena tantangan ini berlangsung selama satu tahun, saya meminta bantuan teman-teman untuk mengingatkan saya selaku host, misalnya terlupa untuk merandom tema baru setiap awal bulan, dan jika terlupa memilih pemenang setiap dua bulan sekali.
Selamat mengikuti tantangan!

Buku merupakan tumpukan bacaan fisik yang memiliki 500 halaman atau lebih, buku yang saking tebalnya bisa menimpuk haters, dan membuat kita terintimidasi karena ketebalannya (tidak termasuk kamus dan kitab suci, ya)Apa ya banyak sih, cross sama yg GRI challenge, if not adds up

16 cerita tentang awal mula penciptaan dunia hingga terjadinya Ragnarok. Thor dan Loki menjadi pemeran utama dalam sebagian besar cerita. Thor, dewa petir yang perkasa dan berjenggot merah. Thor baik hati, tapi tidak terlalu cerdas. Senjata andalannya adalah palu godam bernama Mjollnir. Thor sayang sekali pada palunya. Palu itu selalu ditaruh di dekatnya apabila Thor tidur. Palu itu pernah hilang dicuri, dan untuk memperolehnya kembali, Thor terpaksa menyamar menjadi perempuan, dengan bantuan Loki.
Loki putra Laufey. Loki sangat tampan, lucu dan pandai bicara, tetapi juga sangat licik. Di mana ada Loki, pasti ada masalah. Dia sahabat sekaligus pengkhianat Thor. Gara-gara Loki, salah satu kambing Thor menjadi pincang. Gara-gara Loki, Sif istri Thor menjadi botak. Dan banyak hal menjengkelkan lain yang dilakukan Loki. Namun tindakannya yang paling jahat adalah membuat Balder tewas. Maka Loki pun ditangkap dan diikat, sampai Ragnarok mengakhiri semuanya.
Your fault, Apollo.
Your punishment.
My father’s voice still rings in my ears. Can you believe Zeus blamed me for the god’s battle with Gaea? Just because the earth goddess duped one of my progeny—Octavian—into plunging the Greek and Roman demigods into a civil war that nearly destroyed human civilization. I ask you, how was that my fault?
Now I’m cast out of Olympus in the form of a sixteen-year-old mortal boy, acne and all! Sadly, I’ve been punished this way before. I know I will face many trials and hardships. I can only hope that if I suffer through them and prove myself worthy, Father will forgive me and allow me to become a god again.
But this time my situation seems much more dangerous. One of my ancient adversaries knows I am here and is having me followed. The Oracle of Delphi remains dark, unable to issue prophecies. Most embarrassing of all, I am bound to serve a demigod street urchin who defends herself by throwing rotten fruit.
Zeus could not possibly expect me to fix the Oracle problem by myself. Not in my present weak condition. It’s time for me to drop in on Camp Half-Blood, where I might found some talented fodder . . . er, I mean heroes to help. No doubt they will welcome me as a celebrity! They will bring me holy offerings, like peeled grapes, Oreos, and—oh, gods—perhaps even bacon!
Mmm. Yes. If I survive this, I really must write an ode to the power of bacon. . . .
A boy drowns, desperate and alone in his final moments. He dies.
Then he wakes, naked and bruised and thirsty, but alive.
How can this be? And what is this strange deserted place?
As he struggles to understand what is happening, the boy dares to hope. Might this not be the end? Might there be more to this life, or perhaps this afterlife?
A beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth.
At long last, Rachel's powers have arrived and she's a bona fide get-your-broom-ready witch! And it's happened just in time. No Manhattan for her this summer—she's spending her vacation at Camp Wood Lake.
But she's having some serious issues:
Mosquitoes in the Adirondacks are incredibly thirsty.
Her stepmom keeps sending embarrassing feminine hygiene care packages.
She accidentally zapped away all her clothes.
And there's a backstabber in her cabin intent on making life miserable.
Good thing Rachel's a witch.
Cinder is back and trying to break out of prison—even though she'll be the Commonwealth's most wanted fugitive if she does—in this second installment from Marissa Meyer.
Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn't know about her grandmother, or the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother's whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana.
In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade's devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world's digital confines, puzzles that are based on their creator's obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them. When Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win—and confront the real world he's always been so desperate to escape.
11-year-old Alex Petroski loves space and rockets, his mom, his brother, and his dog Carl Sagan—named for his hero, the real-life astronomer. All he wants is to launch his golden iPod into space the way Carl Sagan (the man, not the dog) launched his Golden Record on the Voyager spacecraft in 1977. From Colorado to New Mexico, Las Vegas to L.A., Alex records a journey on his iPod to show other lifeforms what life on earth, his earth, is like. But his destination keeps changing. And the funny, lost, remarkable people he meets along the way can only partially prepare him for the secrets he’ll uncover—from the truth about his long-dead dad to the fact that, for a kid with a troubled mom and a mostly not-around brother, he has way more family than he ever knew.
Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious.I forgot who recommend this book, but somehow I managed to read and finish this book in the middle of my greatest reading slump ever in my life. It's fun, fast paced and I can't stop reading it.
Before he awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits.
Before a man Jason’s never met smiles down at him and says, “Welcome back, my friend.”
In this world he’s woken up to, Jason’s life is not the one he knows. His wife is not his wife. His son was never born. And Jason is not an ordinary college physics professor, but a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable. Something impossible.
Is it this world or the other that’s the dream? And even if the home he remembers is real, how can Jason possibly make it back to the family he loves? The answers lie in a journey more wondrous and horrifying than anything he could’ve imagined—one that will force him to confront the darkest parts of himself even as he battles a terrifying, seemingly unbeatable foe.
Just when seventeen-year-old Matt thinks he can’t handle one more piece of terrible news, he meets a girl who’s dealt with a lot more—and who just might be able to clue him in on how to rise up when life keeps knocking him down—in this wry, gritty novel from the author of When I Was the Greatest.
Matt wears a black suit every day. No, not because his mom died—although she did, and it sucks. But he wears the suit for his gig at the local funeral home, which pays way better than the Cluck Bucket, and he needs the income since his dad can’t handle the bills (or anything, really) on his own. So while Dad’s snagging bottles of whiskey, Matt’s snagging fifteen bucks an hour. Not bad. But everything else? Not good. Then Matt meets Lovey. She’s got a crazy name, and she’s been through more crazy than he can imagine. Yet Lovey never cries. She’s tough. Really tough. Tough in the way Matt wishes he could be. Which is maybe why he’s drawn to her, and definitely why he can’t seem to shake her. Because there’s nothing more hopeful than finding a person who understands your loneliness—and who can maybe even help take it away.
