Blurb : Tough and independent, 17-year-old Abby lets very few people into her inner circle. It’s common knowledge in her Kentucky town that she deals drugs, but not even her closest friends know why. But when a deal goes south and Abby’s suddenly in danger, she finds herself reluctantly forced to lean on daredevil Logan—a boy whose restless spirit matches her own.

Logan has his own reasons for wanting to keep Abby at arms’ length. But he never expected to find in her the one person who might help him face the demons he’s tried so hard to run from.

Together, Abby and Logan will have to make a decision: let their current circumstances weigh them down forever…or fight for the future they both thought was impossible.

Review

Abby, seorang gadis berusia 17 tahun bukanlah seorang gadis biasa. Abby merupakan pengedar narkoba yang sukses, yang punya banyak pelanggan, yang menjalankan bisnis narkobanya dengan rapi dan tersembunyi. Abby juga bersahabat dengan Noah dan Isaiah. Dalam menjalankan bisnis narkobanya Abby punya prinsip untuk tidak melibatkan perasaan dengan orang lain. Dan prinsip itu dipegangnya erat hingga Abby tak punya sedikit pun teman dekat kecuali Noah dan Isaiah.

Namun semua itu berubah ketika Isaiah mengenal Rachel, cewek anak orang kaya yang akhirnya berpacaran dengan Isaiah. Rachel menjadi dekat dengan Abby dan secara tidak langsung Abby menganggap kalau Rachel adalah satu-satinya sahabat perempuan yang dimilikinya. Ruang lingkup pertemanan Abby semakin meluas saat Abby mengenal Logan, teman West yang sering nongkerong di rumah Rachel.

Logan bersikeras ingin mengenal Abby walau Abby berpendapat sebaliknya. Apalagi saat Logan mengetahui kalau Abby menjual narkoba buakn karena keisengan semata melainkan untik membiayai perawatan neneknya yang menderita Alzheimer. Sang nenek dirawat di rumah pribadi dengan pengawasan perawat profesional selama 24 jam. Hal tersebut tentunya menghabiskan dana yang tidak sedikit dan dari narkoba lah Abby memdapatkan uang untuk membiayai semuanya.

Emily Curtis is used to dealing with her problems while under the hood of an old Chevy, but when her mom dies, Emily’s world seems shaken beyond repair.

But when Emily hears the engine of a 1970 Dodge Challenger, and sees the cute gearhead, Zander, next door, things seem to be looking up.

But even working alongside Zander can’t completely fix the hole in Emily’s life. Ever since her mom died, Emily hasn’t been able to pray, and no one—not even Zander—seems to understand. But sometimes the help you need can come from the person you least expect.

Blurb : Three friends, three wishes--one Christmas!

When three friends visit a shopping-mall Santa on a lark, the jolly old elf is full of mysterious predictions about the thing they're all wishing for: the perfect man. Or at least men who are perfect for them.

Riley Erickson's fiance turned out to be a dud, dumping her for her bridesmaid three weeks before the wedding. But Santa says that she's soon going to meet her ideal man in a memorable way.

And he predicts that a new man is about to come into Jo's life. What on earth does that mean? She's pregnant and already has her hands full with the perfectly stubborn husband she's got.

Noel has given up completely on ever finding her perfect match. But apparently Noel is going to get a good man to go with that house she's trying desperately to buy.

These friends are about to discover that Christmas wishes can come true, because in spite of romantic setbacks and derailed dreams, this truly is the most wonderful time of the year!

Blurb : Two people are about to discover that when it comes to finding love, sometimes Christmas magic isn't enough…sometimes it takes a pesky orange cat named Ambrose.


When a guy is in trouble, he starts making deals with his Creator…and Ambrose the cat is no exception. In danger of losing his ninth and final life, Ambrose makes a desperate plea to the universe. He'll do anything—anything!—if he can just survive and enjoy a nice long, final life. His prayer is answered when a stranger comes along and saves him—and now it looks like he has to hold up his end of the bargain.

The stranger turns out to be a firefighter named Zach, who's in need of some serious romantic help. If Ambrose can just bring Zach together with Merilee, the nice lady who works at Pet Palace, it's bound to earn him a healthy ninth life. Unfortunately for Ambrose, his mission is a lot harder than he ever thought. Merriliee is way too shy to make the first move on a ladies man like Zach, and Zach thinks he's all wrong for a nice girl like Merrilee. Now it's going to take all of Ambrose's feline wiles—and maybe even a good old fashioned Christmas miracle—to make them both realize that what they're looking for is right in front of their eyes.
Review

Merilee White adalah seorang pecinta kucing yang sangat jatuh cinta pada dunia binatang. Cita-citanya suatu hari nanti adalah menjadi seorang dokter hewan aka. Venetarian.

Sebagai gantinya Merilee bekerja paruh waktu di toko hewan.

Pada saat sedang bekerja Merilee bertemu dengan seorang pemadam kebakaran bernama Zachary “Zach” Stone yang sedang kebingungan memilih makanan untuk kucing di rumahnya. Sebenarnya Ambrose, nama kucing itu, bukan peliharaan Zach namun Zach menolong kucing itu dari serangan anjing liar. Dan… si kucing kemudian menolak untuk pergi dari rumah Zach. Selagi menunggu tempat penampungan hewan mengambil Ambrose, Zach memeliharanya.

Blurb :On a beautiful spring night Mindy Fenton went to bed thinking all was right in her world. Before the night was over everything had changed.

Mindy was awakened by Brendan Quinn with the news that her husband had been shot and killed. Now Mindy was alone, nearly broke and pregnant. And Quinn--a man who had never hidden his contempt for her--was the only one she could turn to. For the sake of his best friend, Quinn was offering Mindy and her child a future...if she could accept it.

Review

Brendan Joseph Quinn aka. Quinn mendapatkan berita kalau sahabat karibnya Dean Fenton meninggal akibat tertembak. Hal ini sungguh tidak masuk akal karena Dean tidak lagi bertugas di kepolisian dan kini dia sudah menjadi pemilik perusahaan jasa keamanan yang diperhitungkan di daerah mereka. Tapi saat Quinn berada di TKP dia tidak dapat lagi menyangkal hal tersebut. Dean memang tewas tertembak. Kehilangan sahabat sekaligus sahabat sejak masih kecil sangat memukul Quinn.

Hal berat lain yang berhubungan dengan kematian Quinn adalah memberitahu istrinya. Apalagi Quinn memang tak pernah menyukai istri Dean yang dinilainya sebagai perempuan muda yang senang berpesta, tertawa terkikik-kikik yang sangat tidak tepat untuk citra istri Dean yang tenang. Meski tidak menyukai Mindy, Quinn tetap membantu mengurus segala hal paska kematian Dean apalagi saat ini Mindy dalam keadaan hamil.

#193 Fifty Shades Of Grey #1 - Fifty Shades Of Grey by E.L. James

Kepada Yth :
Spankers @ Cakrawala Gelinjang 


Dear Spankers..

Sebelumnya silahkan mengucapkan selamat pada diriku atas keberhasilan menyelesaikan buku ini yang tertunda sejak kapan tahun. Kalau tidak salah sejak tahun 2013 yang berhenti di Bab 6. Dibaca ulang pada Oktober/November 2014 karena sudah lupa bagaimana jalan ceritanya dan.. berhenti ketika progress membacanya sudah 72%. Lalu diawal tahun ini (Januari) dicoba melanjutkan tanpa membaca dari awal yang ternyata malah nggak nyambung sama sekali sehingga diulang lagi dan selesai di bulan yang sama. 

Dan.. inilah ceritaku tentang buku yang inisial nama tokohnya ternyata juga menjadi inisial blog Cakrawala Gelinjang...

Ceritaku ini mungkin bakalan berat sebelah. Karena sejak awal aku sudah terpengaruh berbagai macam review yang bertebaran disana-sini. Tapi belakangan aku mulai mempertanyakan kembali ekspektasiku karena membaca pendapat seseorang yang berkata buku ini ternyata tidak semenyebalkan yang disangka banyak orang. Hanya saja... setelah menutup buku ini sepertinya aku cenderung pada pendapat pertama yang mengatakan buku ini cukup membosankan. 

Dear Spankers...

Siapa pun tahu kalau buku ini adalah fanfiction-nya Twilight. Christian pun (katanya) punya kharisma seperti Edward Cullen dengan hobi yang sama bermain piano. Ana pun tak ubahnya seperti Bella Swan yang gampang galau.

Blurb : *WHAT IF YOU HAD AN IMPOSSIBLE CRUSH?*

Impossible because she’s Ellen Foster. The beautiful, smart, and possibly fragile photography-girl. You’re Cam Campbell. The guy who plays football 24/7 with no life. But what if during junior year, you decide to finally try for her phone number—until this glitter-crazed new girl ruins your plan. Worse, the girl is Irish, awkward, and insists you and Ellen should become best friends—with her! Only, you don’t want to be friends with a human tornado, and you think Ellen might need to stay a crush. This is because after one interaction you’ve discovered Ellen Foster really is fragile. Your problems and secrets are too big for anyone to understand.

*WHAT IF YOU COULDN’T RESIST?*

But what if the three of you wind up assigned to a group photography project, where rumors are already circling about the new girl being ridiculous? You know she’s nice but very alone, so you convince your crush to help protect the new girl. Suddenly, working on the project makes hanging out, texting, talking—and even high school—seem fun and completely normal when it’s anything but normal.

*WHAT IF YOU KISS*

What if you kiss Ellen Foster and it’s perfect enough to make you believe in things you shouldn’t. You tell her secrets and share your dreams. You make the kinds of promises and create plans to be together that might be impossible to keep when you’re only sixteen and your parents control your entire future, but...

*WHAT IF YOU HURT HER...*

#187 Sea by Heidi R. Kling

Dear Andi...

Apa kabarmu sekarang, Andi?  Sejak 26 Desember 2004 tak pernah terdengar lagi kabarmu. Aku? Kabarku disini baik-baik saja. Dan ya.. aku masih menunggu kabar darimu.

Dear Andi...

Sini aku ceritakan sebuah kisah. Tentang seorang cewek berumur 15 tahun bernama Sienna.

Namanya Sienna Jones. Tapi biasanya dipanggil dengan sebutan Sea. Sejak kematian ibunya akibat kecelakaan pesawat terbang Sienna mengalami mimpi buruk. Ia mengalami PTSD. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Sienna mulai takut untuk bepergian menggunakan pesawat. Ia tak lagi suka surfing di pantai seperti kebiasaannya dulu sebelum ibunya meninggal. Sienna adalah remaja putri yang aktif dan impulsif. Tapi sejak kematian ibunya ia menjadi menarik diri dari semua kegiatan yang biasa dilakukannya.

Di hari ulang tahunnya ke 15 Sienna mendapat hadiah ulang tahun berupa tiket pesawat Chicago - Yogyakarta. Bersama Team Hope pimpinan ayahnya, Sienna akan membantu anak-anak korban tsunami Aceh yang telah pindah ke Yogyakarta. Ayah Hope seorang psikiatri. Anak-anak korban tsunami itu mengalami PTSD seperti yang dialami Sienna. Bahkan ketika pesantren tempat anak-anak itu tinggal mengalami kebanjiran, mereka panik dan menangis. Teringat akan kejadian tsunami enam bulan sebelumnya.
