Waiting for The Mark of Athena



October 2nd, the date of The Mark of Athena published. 

But not in Indonesia. 

I still have to wait for weeks until I get the book in my hand. Not the translated version, no. the English version. But still I have to wait for weeks! Oh, God, this is killing me. 

But fortunately I've found some sneak peek that -makes me more anxious about the book, yes, but also washed a bit of thirst of Rick Riordan's stories- maybe you want to see. If you're as anxious as I am. But I warn you, this could caused a heart attack. 

Don't say I didn't warn you.

You can go to Barnes & Noble to read the sneak peek. They are so kind to let anxious helpless readers from faraway land to read the 1st, 2nd, and... the 3rd chapter. 
What? You don't believe what I say? 
Follow this link and washed your thirst! :) http://www.barnesandnoble.com/sample/read/9781423140603

Siapa Bilang 'Grepe -Grepe' Itu Nggak Baik?

Oke, jadi ini adalah posting selingan, cerita sehari hari penulis yang salah seorang temannya request untuk dituliskan. Karakter karakter dalam cerita ini sepenuhnya nyata. Jika ada kesamaan nama/tokoh/lokasi maupun yang lainnya... then it's all hitsuzen! Because universe is rarely so lazy.  ~~*~~ Malam hari sekitar sepekan yang lalu, aku, ibuku, dan dua adikku (Nurul & Ihsan), berkelana ke sebuah toko stationery  langganan kami di Perumnas III, relatif dekat dari rumahku di Cerewed. Kami mengendarai 2 motor. Di satu motor ada aku dan Nurul, sedang di motor lainnya ibuku dan Ihsan. Aku dan Nurul berangkat belakangan, karena ibuku dan Ihsan isi bensin lebih dulu. Singkat cerita, saat aku dan Nurul tiba di toko, sepasang anggota keluarga kami itu belum tiba. Alhasil, kami berdua keliling keliling sambil melihat lihat berbagai jualan toko tersebut lebih dahulu. Tak berapa lama, ibu datang menghampiri kami dengan senyum yang, kalau dipikir pikir sekarang, sedikit kaku. Di

The Lost Chapter of The Lightning Thief

Some of you may have read it, some of you may not. So I’m just going to post this. This is a scene that supposed to be a part of Rick Riordan’s The Lightning Thief but he said that it would be better if this scene was deleted and I can't understand why.  Personally I do think this scene is very interesting. Really, I don’t know why he’d deleted it. But enough for the talk. Enjoy! When everybody had returned to their seats and finished eating their meals, Chiron pounded his hoof again for our attention. Mr. D got up with a huge sigh. "Yes, I suppose I'd better say hello to all you brats. Well, hello. Our activities director Chiron says the next capture-the-flag is Friday. Cabin Five presently holds the laurels." A bunch of ugly cheering rose from the Ares table. "Personally," Mr. D continued, "I could care less, but congratulations. Also, I should tell you that we have a new camper today. Peter Johnson." Chiron murmured somet

Rick Riordan's The Kane Chronicles

Image
Well, this post is about another masterpiece of Rick Riordan: The Kane Chronicles. I like the idea of Egyptian gods and goddesses. And the main characters are also really interesting (But no one can beat the swag of Percy Jackson, I assure you).  Two siblings, the Kanes. Sadie and Carter. I love both of them. Sadie, with her annoying acts is so real. Rick Riordan surely really understand what’s on us girls’ minds. And Carter… he has his own charms. Unfortunately, he already has Zia Rashid as his primary crush. Here are the official illustrations of the two siblings. Oh, and Zia too. CARTER KANE SADIE KANE ZIA RASHID The series has 3 books. The Red Pyramid, The Throne of Fire, and the newest (published on May 1 st ) is The Serpent’s Shadow. I read in a website, it was Rick Riordan’s website if I’m not mistaken ( www.rickriordan.com ) that he will continue the sequel of the serial. Just like Percy Jackson and The Olympians with The Heroes of Olympus.
