Lucky No. 14 Reading Challenge

Tea Time and Books baru berumur tiga bulan aja. Jadi artinya, saya masih muda banget jadi anggota BBI, saya juga tertinggal beberapa reading challenge yang kebanyakan dimulai pada awal tahun 2013. Nah, berhubung sebentar lagi 2014 akan tiba, saya mau ikutan beberapa reading challenge dan gak mau ketinggalan lagi XD

Reading challenge yang mau saya ikuti adalah Lucky No. 14 yang digagas oleh Mbak Astrid [Books to Share]. Periodenya dimulai pada tanggal 1 Januari sampai dengan 31 Desember 2014. Beberapa kategori dalam RC ini adalah sebagai berikut:

1. Visit The Country: Read a book that has setting in a country that you really want to visit in real life. Make sure the setting has a big role in the book and it can make you know a little bit more about your dream destination.

Pengen banget bisa ke Jepang. Jadi untuk permulaan, saya mau baca STPC Tokyo aja.

2. Cover Lust: Pick a book from your shelf that you bought because you fell in love with the cover. Is the content as good as the cover?

Tertarik sama buku The Ocean at the End of the Lane-nya Neil Gaiman gara-gara kepincut sama sampul depan bukunya *mengaku dosa* XD

3. Blame it on Bloggers: Read a book because you’ve read the sparkling reviews from other bloggers. Don’t forget to mention the blogger’s names too!

Saya tertarik baca And the Mountains Echoed - Khaled Hosseini gara-gara baca review-nya Mide. Dan Alhamdulillah... ternyata saya menang GA-nya.

4. Bargain All The Way: Ever buying a book because it’s so cheap you don’t really care about the content? Now it’s time to open the book and find out whether it’s really worth your cents.

Sebelumnya belum pernah baca buku-bukunya Haruki Murakami. Terus pas dapet Norwegian Wood masih bersegel dari Vixxio cuma seharga 10K, rasanya dapet harta karun banget. Semoga Norwegian Wood adalah permulaan yang manis untuk karya-karya Haruki Murakami.

5. (Not So) Fresh From the Oven: Do you remember you bought/got a new released book last year but never had a chance to read it? Dig it from your pile and bring back the 2013.

Dead by Nightfall - Beverly Barton

6. First Letter’s Rule: Read a book which title begins with the same letter as your name (for me, Astrid means A, and I can read anything that started with the letter A). Remember: Articles like “a”, “an” or “the” doesn’t count :)

Karena huruf pertama dari nama saya adalah T, jadi untuk kategori ini saya mau baca Tennis Party - Sophie Kinsella, Ther Melian - Shienny M.S.

7. Once Upon a Time: Choose a book that’s been published for the first time before you were born (not necessarily has to be a classic book, just something a little bit older than you is okay. You can read the most recent edition if you want to)

Saya mau baca The Jungle Book dan Just So Stories dari Rudyard Kipling.

8. Chunky Brick: Take a deep breath, and read a book that has more than 500 pages. Yep, the one that you’ve always been afraid of!

Mau mulai baca The Mysterious Benedict Society.

9.  Favorite Author: You like their books, but there are too many titles. This is your chance, choose a book that’s been written by your fave author but you haven’t got time to read it before.

Untuk kategori ini, saya agak susah memutuskan mau buku yang mana. Karena memang banyak penulis yang saya suka bukunya. Jadi, mungkin saya akan baca The Cuckoo's Calling dari Robert Galbraith, pseudonym J.K. Rowling.

10. It’s Been There Forever: Pick up a book that has been there on your shelf for more than a year, clean up the dust and start to read it now :)

Kalau untuk yang kategori ini, saya harus bongkar-bongkar dulu dus buku. Menyusul ya XD

11. Movies vs Books: You’ve seen the movie adaptation (or planned to see it soon) but never had time to read the book. It’s time to read it now, so you can compare the book vs the movie.

Di tahun 2014 nanti akan ada film adaptasi dari buku The Fault in Our Stars, jadi saya mau baca buku itu saja sebagai awal dari kategori ini.

12. Freebies Time: What’s the LAST free book you’ve got? Whether it’s from giveaway, a birthday gift or a surprise from someone special, don’t hold back any longer. Open the book and start reading it now :D

Mau baca hadiah dari IRRC-nya Mbak Yuska bulan Oktober. Reasons - Aditia Yudis.

13. Not My Cup of Tea: Reach out to a genre that you’ve never tried (or probably just disliked) before. Whether it’s a romance, horror or non fiction, maybe you will find a hidden gem!

Sebetulnya saya agak gak cocok dengan buku yang nyastra banget. Tapi berhubung sudah punya, nanti mau coba baca "Aku Kesepian, Sayang. Datanglah, Menjelang Kematian." - Seno Gumira Ajidarma.

14. Walking Down The Memory Lane: Ever had a book that you loved so much as a kid? Or a book that you wish you could read when you were just a child? Grab it now and prepare for a wonderful journey to the past :) Comic books or graphic novels are allowed!

Hansel and Gretel - Grimm Bersaudara, dan mungkin akan ditambah dengan beberapa komik jadul juga. Hehe...

Daftar di atas kemungkinan besar akan bertambah, jadi mungkin akan diperbaharui setelah saya baca bukunya nanti. Ikutan juga Lucky No. 14 Reading Challenge yuk. Info lebih lanjut bisa klik gambar di atas agar langsung diarahkan ke blognya Mbak Astrid :D
