"Dan aku tahu jika punya kuasa memutar waktu, aku tetap akan melakukan apa yang sudah kulakukan. Aku akan tetap memilihnya."

Di masa yang lampau, di pulau yang disebut Rana Pui, tinggal seorang gadis bernama Ruita—suku Momoki yang bertubuh kecil dan tidak begitu menyukai suku Eepe yang derajatnya lebih tinggi dan selalu menjadi atasan. Suatu kali, Ruita terpaksa bekerja di rumah seorang suku Eepe. Dengan sengaja ia membuat berbagai macam kesalahan supaya ia tidak perlu berlama-lama bekerja di sana. Hingga suatu hari ia mendapati sepasang mata yang ia dapati sedang memandanginya. Sepasang mata itu adalah milik Atamu, anak dari keluarga suku Eepe tempat Ruita bekerja. Dan pertemuan mereka selanjutnya membuat jalan hidup Ruita yang selama ini lurus jadi bercabang.

Wonder | Official Trailer

"But I really believe, and Daddy really believes, that there are more good people on this earth than bad people, and the good people watch out for each other and take care of each other."

This is quite a long overdue post, but I still feel the need to share my excitement about this movie adaptation!! If you didn't know already, Wonder by R.J. Palacio is one of my favorite books ever. It's the one book that I always mention whenever someone asked me for a book recommendation; because I truly feel like everyone should read this book. So I'm super excited when I saw the movie trailer on my Youtube subscription list. And it's definitely not disappointing! If you haven't seen the trailer yet, go watch it below! ;)

"Is it how it goes? You fall in love, and nothing seems truly scary anymore, and life is one big possibility?"

Lara Jean is having the best days of her life as a senior and everything seems to be perfect. She's happily in a relationship with her boyfriend, Peter Kavinsky; and her father is getting remarried with their neighbor, Ms. Rothschild. Lara Jean is excited about a lot of things: planning her father's wedding and Margot coming home for the summer with her new boyfriend. However, as her high school days is coming to an end very soon, Lara Jean realized that she has big decisions to make—especially when things doesn't go as she originally planned.

Before I Fall | Official Trailer

"I shiver, thinking how easy it is to be totally wrong about people-to see one tiny part of them and confuse it for the whole, to see the cause and think it's the effect or vice versa."

It's been a long time since I wrote something related to movie adaptation. And recently I saw a movie trailer that got me really excited because it's adapted from one of my favorite book: Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver! I read this book back in 2011; which is five years ago, and I barely remember the details of the book. But I know for sure that I really enjoyed my time reading it back then. For those of you who haven't seen it yet, go watch the movie trailer below ;)

✱ Hello Again. Happy New Year 2017 ! ✱

Hello there! I know it's probably a little late to say this, but Happy New Year! To be honest it feels a little awkward for me to get back into blogging after being absent for several months. My last post was back in July 2016; and suddenly I found the urge to start writing something again. This might not be a book review or a book haul post, but it's a start. In this (hopefully) brief post, I will update you on what I've been doing these past couple of months, why I haven't been reading or blogging as much, and what my goals will be in 2017.
