Yes, Boss! by Areila Sahimi

Yes, Boss! by Areila Sahimi My rating: 3 of 5 stars Yes, Boss! -- novel pertama from penulis Areila Sahimi yang I baca (and I think novelnya yang ketiga). Semasa I baca novel ne, I'm actually in the middle of reading 2 other novels. Terasa kuat hati nak baca sebab drama adaptasi novel ne akan start bersiaran in January and pelakonnya Fahrin Ahmad dan Emma Maembong (yang sekarang jadi one of my favorite actress!)Berkenaan dengan title novel -- walaupun I tak beberapa suka dengan title in English, I think this title is the best one the author can come up with and sangat-sangat relevant sebab dalam novel ne, you will see a lot of "Yes, Boss!"Pengalaman...

Awak Suka Saya Tak? By Melur Jelita

Awak Suka Saya Tak? by Melur Jelita My rating: 2 of 5 stars Alhamdulillah!! Habis juga novel ne. I'm close to abandon this novel sebab I memang dah tak ada hati nak habiskan... However, nak diabandon, rasa macam sayang sebab I beli mahal. Sekarang ne ada rasa nak jual... rasa nak beri kat orang pun ada... As long as novel ne takde depat mata I. Awak Suka Saya Tak? ne kena recommend oleh seseorang from goodreads... She recommended novel from Melur Jelita la... and I memang suka when people recommended novels to me. So, after kena recommend, I searched her first novel which is ASST? I went to the local bookstore and when I got the novel, I remembered...

Projek Memikat Suami by Hanina Abdullah

Projek Memikat Suami by Hanina Abdullah My rating: 5 of 5 stars Novel Project Memikat Suami (PMS) is the first novel by Hanina Abdullah yang I read and I rasa penulis punya first baby. Dari first I baca the penghargaan section dah I can see that the writer knows how to convey thoughts into words. Susunan ayat dan penggunaan bahasa yang superb. Bahasa Inggeris pun di tahap yang paling cemerlang because, I don't see any kecacatan dalam penggunaan bahasa Inggeris.Dari segi plot, sangat simple and yet complicated. I still think this story bertemakan kahwin paksa, sebab kedua-dua watak tied the knot bukan dengan kerelaan yang 100%. Zahrain Alimin...

Love you, Mr. Arrogant by Aliesah Kirana

Love You Mr. Arrogant by Aliesha Kirana My rating: 5 of 5 stars Fair warning: I tend to be personal about my review sebab I also post this to my blog HERE . I can’t write my own story but I’m a huge complainer. Also... spoiler alert! Just done with this novel... and I'm very happy with it. Setelah struggling nak habiskan novel yang sebelum ne I baca (which still belum habis I baca), I decided to read this novel, yang sememangnya dah lama I letak on my bed headboard, sebab I heard the drama is currently on di TV. I rasa macam pernah came across this kind of writing style. Kata-kata seru di luar dialog, memasukkan "hehe" di dalam dialog......

Perempuan yang Paling Aku Cinta by Acik Lana

Perempuan Yang Paling Aku Cinta by Acik Lana My rating: 4 of 5 stars Perempuan yang Paling Aku Cinta (PYPAC) merupakan novel pertama terbitan penulis Acik Lana sendiri and sudah lama I want to add this book to my collection. Akhirnya, tercapai juga nak dapatkan buku edisi terhad ne.Novel-novel Acik Lana yang I dah baca sebelum ne semuanya I rate 5 stars. This time, however, I terpaksa minus 1 star sebab for me, PYPAC ne ada kekurangan jika nak compare dengan novel-novelnya yang sebelum ne. I also feel meluat when I read certain scenes. Will get to that...Isu yang diketengahkan dalam novel ini adalah sesuatu yang sangat berat; fenomena yang sering...

13 Jam A380 by Evelyn Rose

13 Jam A380 by Evelyn Rose My rating: 5 of 5 stars Fair warning: I can’t write my own story but I’m a huge complainer. Also... spoiler alert!Wow! Finally, habis juga this novel. I don’t know why so hard I nak habiskan this novel. Selalu novel macam ne boleh siap in 2 days... For one thing, kerja I macam bertambah time-time ne juga, which led me to abandon this novel on my work desk and then, being a forgetful person that I am, I selalu tertinggal novel ne at office and ended up memendam rasa nak baca. Though... I think, main reason kenapa lambat nak habis tu more due to the fact that I tried to absorb every words yang ada dalam naskah ini and...

The Wedding Breaker by Evelyn Rose

The Wedding Breaker by Evelyn Rose My rating: 5 of 5 stars Finally, I’m done with this novel. First of all, masih belum terlambat for me to say this... SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI to all warga goodreads yang beragama Islam (also for those yang membaca blog I yang probably takde pengunjung). It has been a month or two since the last time I read a Malay novel. Semasa bulan puasa, kepala I macam tak boleh nak focus membaca, and the fact that the book I tried to finish wouldn’t get past chapter one (sebab penulisan yang... not too good. Sesiapa yang focus on my current reading update probably know which book I’m talking about)... then I sibuk beraya...

Cinta Bersaiz XXL by Aliesha Kirana

Cinta Bersaiz XXL by Aliesha Kirana My rating: 5 of 5 stars Cinta Bersaiz XXL is the first novel of Aliesha Kirana yang I baca. According to the author's note, this is her second novel. Setelah membaca this novel, I will definitely put her first book into my wishlist since yang ne pun for me antara novel yang best.Cinta Bersaiz XXL menceritakan perjalanan hidup perempuan bersaiz XXL, Nur Adeeba Addin yang bertemu jodoh dengan seorang lelaki yang kacak, and probably every women's dreams, Hadif Harith. Dari segi plot cerita, I memang can give perfect score sebab kesemua plot disusun secara teratur and I don't feel ceritanya berbelit-belit and the...

Yang Manis by Marissa

Yang Manis by Marissa My rating: 4 of 5 stars Yang Manis merupakan recent novel from penulis Marissa. Sebelum ne, I ada baca novel-novelnya yang terdahulu; "Teduhan Kasih" yang mendapat rating yang positive from I and yang I baca sebelum novel ne, "Bila Hati Kata Sayang" mendapat rating paling low that I can give. I guess, now I'm back on the positive side of this author.Yang Manis menceritakan kisah kehidupan Imaniah Sofea (Iman) yang berusaha mendapatkan perhatian dan cinta seorang lelaki kampung, Raees. Satu accident menemukan kedua-dua insan ne... and I guess this is a story of cinta pandang pertama, sebab, feelings tu timbul sejak pertemuan...

Cinta Tak Beralih by Hezzy Azra

Cinta Tak Beralih by Hezzy Azra My rating: 5 of 5 stars Cinta Tak Beralih, novel kak Hezzy Azra yang ketiga. Baby kak Hezzy yang I rasa banyak ragam and very unusual. Novel sebelumnya pun unusual jugak tapi yang ne I rasa tahap nauzubillah la. So many conflicts and characters yang, again, lain daripada yang lain. Isu-isu yang di ketengahkan is something yang berat and memang ada terjadi, tetapi diolahkan dengan bijaksana. I dah baca this novel years ago tapi I still terkejut semasa I baca semalam. I lupa kat certain revelations, sebab memang ianya sesuatu yang unpredictable. Cinta Tak Beralih menceritakan kisah cinta yang timbul secara sudden...

Bila Hati Kata Sayang by Marissa

Bila Hati Kata Sayang by Marissa My rating: 1 of 5 stars Bila Hati Kata Sayang -- buah tangan Marissa yang pertama. Since I read Teduhan Kasih terlebih dahulu, I dah expect something yang I tak suka in the first novel... and I was right.Novel ini mengisahkan cerita cinta di antara Atiqah dan Syed Adriz. Di awal cerita, Atiqah dipaksa untuk menerima pinangan orang and dia pun setuju. Selepas tu dia kenal dengan seorang Encik yang seemed to like her. Sebenarnya plot cerita ini adalah sangat menarik, tetapi cara penulisannya yang membuatkan I annoyed sangat... and the chracters did not make it any better.There are so many perkataan yang I tak suka...

Kenangan Terindah by Hezzy Azra

Kenangan Terindah by Hezzy Azra My rating: 5 of 5 stars Kenangan Terindah merupakan novel kedua hasil tulisan Hezzy Azra, and apparently, ini merupakan her first attempt in story writing tapi according to her, pihak Alaf somehow menerbitkan Melodi Kasih terlebih dahulu. Setelah mengetahui fakta tu, I took some times membaca novel ini sekali lagi (tapi memang niat I nak re-read semua novel-novel kesayangan I). To be honest, I don't rasa this novel was written by an amateur.Oh oh... Sebelum terlupa, I just realised that this novel is the only novel yang ditandatangan oleh penulis untuk I (I got a signed novel from Suri Ryana, tapi tu untuk Choice...

Teduhan Kasih by Marissa

Teduhan Kasih by Marissa My rating: 4 of 5 stars Teduhan Kasih merupakan novel pertama daripada penulis Marissa yang aku baca and I think this is her second book. First impression is very important to capture readers' interest to buy more from the same author. I don't know about her first novel, tapi novel kedua ini memang superb. Novel ini menceritakan kehidupan yang ditanggung oleh seorang isteri mengandung yang baru kehilangan suami; kehilangan as in diceraikan. Iffa was described as an isteri yang solehah, from what we can see and apparently, that's not what her husband wanted. Di dalam diam, suaminya, Ryzal mempunyai hubungan dengan kawan...
