I rarely read any books since two years a go. I think it was mostly because laziness and going out too much. So nothing to read for the past years. The last book i read was ummm i even forget what it was hahhaha. Maybe i tried to read one or two books but i never finish it. The reason was similar from laziness, going out too much and i had more interesting movies to watch. So good bye books, you'll be missed.

But recently after i read my friend's tweet about newest book from Lockwood and Co series, this bookworm inside started to growl. I became curious about the books. I already read two books from the early series Lockwood and Co but then i just stop following the series. Thank goodness they invented Ebook or Epub which you can always search through internet world. So i started to search the third book from Lockwood and Co. And then i was overwhelming by it. lets' talk about it one by one.

Lockwood and Co Book #3 : The Hollow Boy

It is the third book from the series. The first one is The Screaming Staircase, the second book is The Whispering Skull. It tells about Lockwood, George and Lucy who supernatural agents in London. Yep, the stories mostly about capturing ghost or something haunting inside old building or places and it takes place in London mostly. But in this book it wasnt just three of them, there is new additional team in Lockwood and Co, a girl named Holly, which makes Lucy a little bit jealous with her. I like the relationship between Lucy and the Skull. The Skull kinda reminds me with Bartimaeus (another books from the same Author), the sarcasm very similar with Barty. Which very annoying yet funny. The ending kinda shocking at first but then i understand completely why it was happen in the first place.

Lockwood and Co Book #4 : The Creeping Shadow

The 4th books. In my opinion is the best from the series. Somehow Stroud (the Author) wants to defined more clearly about the relationship from every character in the books. Like you would say "aww.." when Lucy talks heart to heart with Lockwood (i'm kinda wish they'll kiss hahaha), or Lucy with George even Lockwood with Kipps. Not to mention the shocking ending. But then we need to wait several months for the new book published. I finished it only in a day!

The Land of Stories : The Wishing Spell

From the Author who play Kurt in Glee TV Series. I heard he write children fantasy books and at first i become skeptics about it. Like seriously, you want to write a book and about fantasy, please. But i was wrong! He did it quite nicely. Event being praised by some medias. There are 5 books from The Land of Stories series, i"m still on the first book. Tells about twins who have adventure inside the fantasy land. Chris included the famous fantasy character like Snow White, the Evil Queen and The Red Riding Hood which i always fancy.

Harry Potter and The Curse Child

Who still have not reading this phenomenal book? It was like every social media(s) i have talk about this book. It was fun to have something come again from Harry Potter series. The books become everyone's childhood must to read, and the movies? i think everyone already watched them too. Actually The Play that i really want to see, but how come, it's just so far away (London far away), so Rowling made the book instead for poor souls who cant attend the Play which very very discreet that you cant have any clue about it. It was fun imagining the trio amigos already become adult and have family and jobs. Rumors said that it'll be produced into movie, but i dont think the old actors would play this, they are still too young, it'll be weird.

Last but not least

Anti Panik Mengasuh Bayi 0-3 Tahun

Cant help not to add this one. As a future new parent off course i'll be panicked when the baby already there. I have zero knowledge about how to raise a kid or a newborn baby. I knew this book from my friend's Instagram, that this book is very helpful for new Parents. It has colorful pages and very informative language. It is a must have item to purchased for new parents, seriously. Because it tells from professional perspective not only from myth (which i hate to listen).

Hopefully this bookworm of mine still continue to raise not just because of boredom at the office.

Hi! It's been a while, yes? How are you? I hope you doin okay. I've just read so many gloomy stories and listen too many gloomy songs today, well mostly i would blame it because of the weather. Jakarta's weather is crazy. So bright at noon and then suddenly a storm appears from the corner of the sky. Never forget to bring umbrella and take your vitamin. It helps a lot. 

Yesterday i had major throw up, it was the worst headache i've ever been on. It was like my head being bumped on the wall thousand times. I threw up three time, and it included everything i eat since lunch. So worry about the baby inside me, is he okay? I barely eat anything last night, every time i put something in my mouth (including water) i threw up again. But i force myself to do laundry instead tho my head banging all the time. I ended up sleeping after text my husband "awkay", because he told me to get some rest and stay away from the phone. But thankfully the headache slowly gone when i woke up for Subuh. But still, my head still heavy. I think there's something with blood circulation or blood pressure i dont know. Cant wait to go doctor this Saturday, and have a visit the baby as well.

Take care and be healthy.

Hello!

I want to spread a good news, yep i'm officially have bun in the oven, or pregnant you might say. We (me and the baby and the husband not to forget to be included) had survive the first trimester. Which for some people sound scary and horrifying because there will be so many pain (on your tits, tummy and all over your body), nonstop nausea and vomiting, change hormonal issue, or gain weight (i gain 2 kg after 2 months married on my 4 weeks pregnancy zzz) and there's more if you want a big list.

Thankfully i experienced few of those pregnancy symptoms. Which are :

- I gained weight (duh!), not too surprise about this things because i usually so easy to gain weight.

- I easily exhausted. From walking too far and too long or taking stairs on my office. Man, it was like i need to slow down my pace. No more jumping to one tile to another while walking.

- I sleep a lot, i mean A LOT! Before knowing that i'm pregnant, my husband felt weird of me because suddenly after 8 PM i said good night to him. And then after that i feel sleepy every time anywhere. I sleep during office hour on my chair which i rarely to do.

- I start eat healthy. This one thanks to dear husband who always remind me to NOT USING ANY MICIN IN EVERY MEAL I TAKE. I dont know, i dont really mind at all if there's just a lil bit vetsin on my meals hahaha. But yes, i care about my baby so i start eat more green and healthy food. But after two months my appetite decreasing, i dont know if i dont want it i just cant eat it.

- I rarely feel nauseous and never vomiting at first. I felt a lil bit sick whenever i eat too many so my tummy feels too full. But it was one or two nauseous and then it's gone. Thankfully the most scary story about pregnancy is during their nausea and vomiting problems. I have friend who also pregnant, she could come to office because the vomiting was too harsh on her. Alhamdulilah Mance (we called the baby Mance) knows that the mother need to stay fit.

- I do experience "ngidam" or too craving on something, and mostly meal from my hometown Surabaya. But i never wanted something in the middle of the night which will make me and my husband crazy haha. I think Mance knows that the father cant always be around so the baby wont ask anything silly or crazy. Just something I could get by my self. 

- I feel like a urinal machine and the bathroom is my bestfriend.

- My husband become more protective of my self and the baby. He wouldnt let me bring or lift anything. He would give me killer look whenever i tried to bring my own bag or tried to lift something he thought it was heavy. He would reminded me to walk slower or take the stairs more careful. He would ask me "are you okay?" thousands time hahaha. He always drag me to nearest chair just make sure i have proper "break time" during our grocery shopping with family. Sure he will become the best papah in the whole world. We love you paaaaaah!

- My bestfriend is pregnant too!!!

- I had bad flu and cough during pregnancy. Sooooo stressful.

They said the second trimester is the best time to travel. Because the less body ache, the baby is already strong enough, the mama also already accustomed with the pregnancy. I wonder if my husband will read this and remember what he said during our waaaaay past conversation if it in the second trimester that we will go somewhere.

Please wish us a healthy and fun pregnancy!

Love,
