224. Picture Perfect, Jodi Picoult

A book about fairly tales love story that wasnt what it seems, about domestic violence, about dramatic past, about not accepting one's self, about fighting a battle with one's own self, about living the dreams, about being brave, about loving someone unconditionally and selfishly, about the history and legend of the Indians'. A very rich book alltogether.

223. The Rainbow Troops, Andrea Hirata

The book was inspired by true stories. The book made me quite upset... of the reality of poverty and social injustice, of how just unfair and doesnt make any sense life is. And it made me angry at priviledge kids who take their education and priviledges for granted.

222. The Book of Tomorrow, Cecelia Ahem

"I think most people go into book shop and have no idea what they want to buy. Somehow, the books sit there, almost magically willing people to pick them up. The right person for the right book. It's as though they already know whose life they need to be part of, how they can make a difference, how they can teach a lesson, put a smile on a face at just at the right time."


"Dreaming about your loved ones who has passed away has everything got to do with the human's mind natural instict, which is to hope beyond all hope. Hope like that doesnt make you a weak person. It's hopelessness that makes you weak. Hope makes you stronger, because it brings with it a sense of reason. Not a reason of how or why they were taken from you, but a reason, for you to live. Because it's a maybe. A 'maybe' someday things wont always be this shit. And that 'maybe' immediately makes the shittiness better."
