Book Review : Serenity (Shelby Alexander#1) by Craig A. Hart


Synopsis : 

Shelby Alexander is an aging ex-boxer and retired fixer, whose activities often flirted with the wrong side of the law. Looking for a little peace and a slower pace of life, he moved to Serenity, the small Michigan town where he grew up. But trouble follows men like Shelby, and he finds himself embroiled in an underworld of drugs and violence that may prove to be his undoing. The first book in the new Shelby Alexander Thriller Series, Serenity is an action-packed read with a lovingly rendered cast, witty dialogue, and a main character who doesn't know when to quit.

Review : 

I am glad that I managed to finish this book quickly. I mean sometimes I need several days to finish one book. Thanks for Mr. Hart efficiency for writing short but lovely story. 

My first impression when I read the tittle is this is romance book. But no, it is not quite romance even though there’s romance element in there. This is crime thriller book. And from what I know, it could be series. I have been reading quite long book so when I read short book, it was refreshing. 

The main character is Alexander Shelby. He is nearly 60 years old. Quite unusual for crime thriller book to have an old man as main character. But this won’t be the first and the last one. But according to his background he is former boxer so he is still a fit man despite his age. I know it was very convenient. Someone can call it plot device too. For the story itself, it was quite interesting. I mean very simple for crime thriller. But don’t know why maybe that’s simplicity make it refreshing read. It was easy to be understood. So, that was a plus one. I also like the structure. Make it easy to pause and resume at later time. 

The story flow naturally. I mean there’s not many scene but when there is, it really have an impact. There’s no unnecessary scene. Some people won’t like it but I prefer this over unnecessary action. Despite everything, I still think it could have been better. Because of its short page, we don’t get alternate point of view from other characters. So, beside Alexander, we don’t really understand other people characters. Basically it was quite 2 dimensional. Anyway, I like it because it was a change from my usual reading and it was a good one too.  

My rating : 4 of 5


Regards, 
Angela

Book Review : A Better World (Brilliance #2) by Marcus Sakey


Synopsis : 
The brilliants changed everything.

Since 1980, 1% of the world has been born with gifts we’d only dreamed of. The ability to sense a person’s most intimate secrets, or predict the stock market, or move virtually unseen. For thirty years the world has struggled with a growing divide between the exceptional...and the rest of us.

Now a terrorist network led by brilliants has crippled three cities. Supermarket shelves stand empty. 911 calls go unanswered. Fanatics are burning people alive.

Forget

Forgive and forget
That is formula of life
It takes years to understand
A whole life to make it worth

Forgetful is an option
Ignorant to feel the pain
Keep the faith while life makes us cry
Still smiling to sky each day

Forget what happens yesterday
Forget what happen to us in the past
Have hope for the future
Believe tomorrow will be better than today


Kind regards,

Selene

Film Review : Marauders (2016)



Dear All,
Yesterday, I decide to watch the movie tittled Marauders. To be honest I don't know what film this is. I don't even read the synopsis. It was just a momentary decision. So, I watch it without any expectation. Actually I have conflicting feeling about this film. I mean it's not bad. Actually I really really love it. I just don't really like open ending in this film. This film tell story about robbery case involving Hubert National Bank. It looks like this professional robbers targeted Hubert National Bank not just because of money, but also personal vendetta. This case was investigated by FBI chief (I forgot his exact tittle) named Montgomery. He knows that Hubert (owner of Hubert National Bank) is dirty person. But at the same time, he also doesn't want to justify the robbery and killing to catch Hubert. It was very interesting to see the dilemma that befall Montgomery.

Goodreads Choice Award 2016




Dear all,

Time have passed so quickly. I still remember the day when I quit my job on January 2016 and now it was already the end of year. I still remember most of the time what I did or do not did. Full of up and down. Stop talking about me. Now talking about the end of year, once again it was the time for "Goodreads Choice Award 2016". Every year I try to vote the books in category that I am interested. But now, I am gonna try to vote in every category based on synopsis, rating, cover design, etc. I believe great book should have the complete package. My best friend "Selene" also vote this year. This is the first time she vote on Goodreads and I am really proud of her.  Now, there are many great and interesting books in this award. Some of them have been eliminated in previous round. Whichever book win the award, for me every book is the winner because I can feel the love and hard work from its authors, editors, publishers, reviewers, designer, and other people involved. To date, there's already 3,000,000+ votes and it will keep increasing until the end. The final round voting will last until Nov 28, 2016 (more or less) because I don't live in US so there must be difference in time zone. 

So, for all book readers, you may like or don't like Goodreads Choice Award and it was understandable. But for book readers that want to vote in Goodreads Choice Award, you can go to Goodreads Choice Award 2016. Anyway, please don't take it seriously. Just be yourself and choose the book that you like. Have a nice fun everyone ^^

Prose Challenge : Zombie Apocalypse

DEAR DIARY,
“Shit!”

It’s really a big mess. There are zombies everywhere. Everyone keep saying that Zombie Apocalypse will come but I never believe it until today. I mean zombies are for children right ?! Guess, I am wrong. Now I see zombies with my own eyes. They are roaming in the street and chasing every human beings they see. I should have listened and build the bunker. Now, I don’t know what to do. I should run away but where. I don't want to become zombies. They are ugly as hell. 

“Calm down”

I take deep breath. First thing first, the zombies haven’t enter my house. But it’s only a matter of time before they do. I should find my emergency bag first. Fortunately, I still have good sense to prepare for emergency situation months ago. Let’s check it once again. My clothes, emergency money, emergency food, emergency contact, passport, travel vouchers, etc are still in there. I just need to contact my parents, family, and close friends to let them know about my situation. 

“Tut Tut Tut”

Great, no signal. The zombies couldn’t possibly have anything to do with this, right ?! Of course they can. What am I thinking. Now, I cannot contact anyone. Well, I have to go. I could always contact them when or .... if I am still alive. Wow, way to raise the spirit. Thanks but no thanks. I can do this. I have to do this. This reminds me the day when I got lost in the forest. It was 3 days before I can find my way home. People say it was a miracle that I were still alive after 3 days. It was said that people who stay overnight in the forest were never found the next day. No one could even found their corpses. It feels as if they just vanishes into thin air. Old legend say that the forest are the meeting point for aliens to come back to their homeland planet. So if the legend was true, it could be those people were kidnapped by the aliens. Now is not the time for this. 

“I’ve managed to book the airplane ticket at last”

Don’t ask me how I can book the ticket. I don’t even remember what I did one minute ago. Anyway, maybe this is my last entry. I love this diary. As far as I remember, I’ve been with this diary for my whole life. Unfortunately I cannot bring it with me. I cannot take chance it will get destroyed in my dangerous journey. I will leave this diary in my secret place when I want to hide something. If somehow, someone managed to find this diary. Please read and take care of it. Please pray me luck. Hope you guys are safe too. 


Regards, 
Angela

The Prose : New Place for Poem, Poetry, and Story



Dear All,

It's been sometime since I write interesting website. Now I would like to talk about the prose.


What is the prose ? Maybe some of you can guess what is the prose based on its name. The prose is place (website) for people to share their prose, poem, poetry, story, and idea. Then why not using Wattpad ?! Wattpad is much more famous right ?! Yes, that's true Wattpad is like the father of place to share your story, etc. I love Wattpad. But Wattpad emphasized itself more on story and fan fiction. And The prose emphasized itself more on prose. Nothing wrong with using both of them. But for me personally, I prefer the prose to share my poem and poetry. Besides I also like their writing prompt challenge. It was very simply and easy to use.

Night note

I am scattered
fears consumed me thoroughly
I said this thousand times
yet i hear nothing

Many questions in my mind
how long should I keep my agonized soul
truly deeply weary inside
yet i can not see any light ahead


kind regards,

Selene.

Prose Challenge #49 : Broken

People say I should finish my journey
But many things stand in my way
The break shattered my heart and crushed my soul

I was too broken to keep following my mind 
I am not gonna be okay

You say everything's gonna be fine
But the truth is nothing ever will
I cannot turn back
Everything was beyond repair

I try to build myself
Slowly pieces by pieces
There's a saying that time will heal everything
The sad reality is nothing gonna be the same
It is what it is

You cannot imagine my pains and regrets
Those feelings stay in my heart
I hope someday you will understand
I really was just too broken 


Nb : I made this poem in response for the prose challenge #49
with theme "We Are Broken". Hope you like it. I welcome constructive feedback ^^

Angela

The Drowning

I Fell into a sea of tears
   and sank beneath its waves,
   each breath I lost, 
   became the cost, 
   I paid for wasted years.

To sink or swim
   a question posed, 
   an answer lost within, 
   a sorrow kept, 
   drowned by regret, 
   cry for you again.


Taken from book Dirty Pretty Things by Michael Faudet.

This is one of my very favorite poem from this book. The book is awesome. 
Every poems are beautifully written and this is one of my fave books.

Book rate: 4.5/5


Kind regards,

Change

I could not change my fate
It have been thoroughly vetted
Things happen for a reason
I wish I could let it go

Good things happen
Bad things happen
I should always be ready
Because nothing lasts forever

People say everyone change
There's no way I can be the same
Many things are just beyond control
I do what I have to do

I choose with my heart
Doing things I believe is right
I should not regret for making mistakes
What don't kill me only makes me stronger

Does It Matter ? Should You Care ?

Dear guys,

It have been sometime since I last write regarding my thoughts about things that happen in my life. I was not born in rich family. In fact I feel that I am not lucky in my life. Still I feel the need to be grateful with everything that have happened in my life including bad things. Recently I ask question on Quora whether you want to go back to change your past mistakes. Surprisingly most people answered that they don't want to change their past because it what makes them, the way they are. Only one person answer he wants to change their haunted past mistakes. All of us makes mistakes. Even when you think that you have learned the lesson, you still make the same mistakes. Like gambler, drug addict, drunker, liar, cheater, etc. They keep making the same mistakes again and again despite the consequences.
