Tongue Tied

There was once a girl. An ordinary girl. With an ordinary life, living with an ordinary family in an ordinary house. She was not the prettiest, nor the cleverest, nor the richest. But there is something extraordinary about her, something unheard before, something an ordinary girl should never had. For ever since she can remember, she believes she has been carrying a curse. May you live your life as people around you live, May you make bonds as people around you make, May you grow and learn as do people around you, May you speak and be heard as do people around you. But until the end, never shall you speak truth of your heart, Until the end, never shall you speak of things in the deep of your desires, Until the end, shall you choke upon the words of your true feelings, Until the end, forever shall your tongue be tied.

Rick Riordan's The Kane Chronicles

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 Olympu...

The Battle of Labyrinth Indonesian Cover

Oh, and I found something interesting at Percy Jackson and the Olympians section. You see, the book in the middle, the fourth book of the series, The Battle of the Labyrinth. It is the older cover. The newest cover dominated by red and looks like the two books on the right and left of The Battle of the Labyrinth. It’s not important, I know. But I just found it interesting. Why did they put the older version when they have the newer? And they only put the older version for the fourth book. But, it doesn’t matter. I already have all of the books, on both versions. So, I have 9 books of the series (The fifth book, The Last Olympian, has not the older cover version).

The Boy Sherlock Holmes: Death in the Air at Book Fair

Here is another book that I’ve been waiting for. The second book from The Boy Sherlock Holmes series: Death in the Air. I love Sherlock Holmes and I always buy every book that has Sherlock Holmes as the character. Like, let’s just say…  Tracy Mack and Michael Citrin’s Sherlock Holmes and The Baker Street Irregulars series. I love that serials. So, I bought this book, and take this picture on March 11 th . But… I just post it now. I’m sorry. A little bit busy here, and I haven’t mention about the accident I had. But the point is, this book is so cool. Also the first book, Eye of the Crow. It is great. I suggest you to grab it instantly at bookstores.
