[Top Ten Tuesday] Books That Will Make You Laugh or At Least Chuckle

a weekly meme by The Broke and the Bookish
(i know this pict doesn't have any relation with book. sorry not sorry, i love them. :p)

The topic for this Tuesday is "books that will make you laugh". The definition of funny is different for people, so I'm not really sure if these books will make you laugh as hard as I did. And since most of the books are in Bahasa, instead of using English I'll use Bahasa in this Top Ten Tuesday.

[REVIEW] My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories

I am worried about being in love, because it involves asking so much. —David Levithan, Your Temporary Santa

Title: My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories

Author: Varies
Edited by: Stephanie Perkins

Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin

Publishing Year: 2014

Number of Pages: 336

ISBN: 978-146-6863-89-7

I rate it 3.5/5 stars

One thing I love about short story written by various authors is that I can meet so many authors without having a long time reading their two-hundred-pages-or-so books. (Yes, I am that lazy, sorry~) x) But it is not really a reference point whether I would read their other books later. It is not fair, because who knows the authors were not in their writing-state whenever they wrote that story, right?

I have met several authors in this book, say Ally Carter with her Gallagher Girls series, Gayle Forman with her If I Stay series, Jenny Han with her To All the Boys I've Loved Before (which I love so much!), David Levithan with his Every Day, Stephanie Perkins with her Anna and the French Kiss, Rainbow Rowell with her Eleanor & Park, and Kiersten White with her The Chaos of Stars (this one I've just read last month and I loved it too!), though I didn't review all of them here. :p I love their previous books, and that's one of the reason I expected so much when they contributed in this short story.

But the thing about expect-something-too-much is often left us with disappointment. x) This happened to me when I read David Levithan's in this book with his Your Temporary Santa. I still love the way he wrote the stories here, but the problem is I didn't get the chemistry between the narrator and Connor. Probably because they were gay and I am honestly new in this genre. :"

Happy 5th Birthday, BBI!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEBI!!!

Halo, Bebiku tersayang.. :*
Akhirnya dikau berumur lima tahun! Ciyeee.. yang bentar lagi masuk TK. (???) xD

First, I'm so sorry for not joining your big party (padahal seru bangeeet). ;_; Maafkan aku, Bebi, aku pengin banget ikutan tapi apa daya takdir tidak mengizinkanku menghadiri pestamu. Dua hari kemarin aku sibuk bolak-balik wc, perut beneran lagi nggak enak banget (entah akibat salah makan atau kebanyakan makan di kondangan), gimana mau konsentrasi buat postingan. :'(

Tapi tenang saja, Bebi, aku nggak lupa mendoakanmu kok. ;)

Aku bahagia melihat Bebi sekarang udah gede dan punya lebih banyak temen, dari bermacam-macam provinsi pula! Bebi tambah gaul ih! ^^ Semoga di tahun-tahun mendatang, Bebi punya lebih banyak temen lagi ya biar ngobrolin bukunya lebih double asyik dan ramenya. Oh ya, Bebi, jangan ngambek gitu dong kalau aku nggak dateng ke pestamu yang super duper asyik dan kreatif ini. Lain kali kalo Bebi ngadain acara asyik lagi, aku usahain buat ikutan deh. Cup cup Bebi, sini kupeluk secara virtual dulu. {}

Last, have a nice party, Bebi!

With love,
Linda :*

ps: banner-nya kupake nggak apa-apa kan ya meski aku nggak ikut party? :')
