Prince Charming by Julie Garwood

Well, when I was coming home as always I look around for books at my favorite bookstore. Well, there I bought a novel from Julie Garwood.

At first, I feel kind of funny because it seems a little bit off (at the time I have no idea, why is that). Then, after I read long enough, I am quite enjoy it (then, I understand the things that off is 'the expression' on it, why? you will get a little different meaning altogether when you read the original words "in English" to the translated ones "in Bahasa Indonesia").

The story and the character is charming, at the setting is wonderful...
Why?
Well, because it choose America at the time where there are still a lot of 'trouble' on it.

The background story? Hmm, I love it!

If you want to read the synopsis:

Just Like Heaven by Julia Quinn

Do you remember, 'musical' things happen once a years at Smythe-Smith played by Smythe-Smith Quartet (at Bridgerton series). Do you remember how all the character express their gratitude when the "play" is finished?

Yeah, this one, the point of view comes from the player.
Although many family member have no idea that their play are horrible and none of them have musical talent, this time the quartet itself is different because they realize that INDEED, THEY ARE HORRIBLE AT PLAYING INSTRUMENT.

The only way to get out from the quartet is dying or marrying...

Finding their point of view of  things is amusing. Really, I laugh a lot enough.
I find it's cute...

Hourglass by Myra McEntire

Well, now let's take a look on the cover. Isn't it interesting?

Starting by her parent's death, then she "sees" something that shouldn't be seen. Her brother and her guardian, do anything to make it better.
Until, hourglass...

If you want to read the synopsis, here:

One hour to rewrite the past . . .


For seventeen-year-old Emerson Cole, life is about seeing what isn't there: swooning Southern Belles; soldiers long forgotten; a haunting jazz trio that vanishes in an instant. Plagued by phantoms since her parents' death, she just wants the apparitions to stop so she can be normal. She's tried everything, but the visions keep coming back.


So when her well-meaning brother brings in a consultant from a secretive organization called the Hourglass, Emerson's willing to try one last cure. But meeting Michael Weaver may not only change her future, it may change her past.


Who is this dark, mysterious, sympathetic guy, barely older than Emerson herself, who seems to believe every crazy word she says? Why does an electric charge seem to run through the room whenever he's around? And why is he so insistent that he needs her help to prevent a death that never should have happened?


Full of atmosphere, mystery, and romance, Hourglass merges the very best of the paranormal and science-fiction genres in a seductive, remarkable young adult debut.


It's a wonderful story, how Myra can create some imagination like this ones. I love the story, and I'll be waiting for the second book. Because the greater and more complicated things will appear there.
I hope you enjoy it.
