My reading experience on December is totally opposite to
November. When November was a month with some 5 star books, December was a
month where none of them are 5 stars for me. Here is the list of 9 books I read
on December which made my total 2021 books to 108 books. Even though there’s no
5 stars book on December, there are some books that deserved an award because
they broke the maa-maa (I don't really know what maa-maa means in English, maybe "it's neither so bad nor so good") cycle of my reading experience this month.
1. The Power of the Eight by Suzanne Rho
Format : Digital | ARC
Unique magic system, many characters, detailed narration
especially about setting which sometimes made me confused
2. Be With You by Ichikawa Takuji
Format : Physical
Where I Got : Penerbit Haru Official Store
A romance and family book which was uwu and made me want to
protect Takkun and his son.
3. Alice in the Land of Clovers (Alice : Pick A Card #1) by B. A. Lovejoy
Format : Digital | ARC
An Alice in Wonderland retelling in historical fiction
genre. Weird, nonsensical and different world that kept so many answers from
her and that changed Alice gradually.
4. How Do You Live? By Genzaburo Yoshino
Format : Digital | ARC
A book with so many messages about life
5. Menghardik Gerimis by Sapardi Djoko Damono
Format : Digital
Where I Got : Gramedia Digital
A short story collection with so many funny and weird
stories which become my favorites.
6. Dua Belas Pasang Mata (Twenty Four Eyes) by Sakae Tsuboi
Format : Digital
Where I Got : Gramedia Digital
A book about war and people, that war affected people differently.
7. Happy Ending Machine by Adelina Ayu
Format : Digital
Where I Got : Gramedia Digital
The first book that made me laugh so much this month! This book
deserve an award for The Laughter Source for December aka a book that made me laugh a lot this month, even though
the topic it discussed is not just about a rich guy met a unique girl, but
deeper than that. I love the foods and places shown in this book, and how
realistic the characters it has.
8. Snow Country – Daerah Salju by Yasunari Kawabata
Format : Digital
Where I got : iKaltara
9. Red Rising – Kebangkitan Merah by Pierce Brown
Format : Digital
Where I Got : iKaltara
I read a 440 pages book in less than 3 days, so I’m
surprised, haha. This book deserved an award for The Page-Turner Book for December aka a book that I couldn't stop reading. Since I read the Indonesian translation version, I
want to read the original English version of this book.
