Udah sbulanan ini sjag smangadd ‘membaca novel’ gw kembali, ada 2 buah novel yang lagi gw incer bangedd. Novel” itu baru di publish Januari 2009 kmaren. Dan tentu na blump masuk Indonesia. Akhirna, gw nekad pent beli yg versi asli alias berbahasa Inggris na. Cuma gw jg semped bingung, beli na di mana? Di Amazon siy emank ada, tapi gw nyerah deh. Mahalan shipping cost na daripada harga buku na. Hahaha.. Tiap hari gw ngecek gramedia.com tapi masih tetep blum ada. Lalu pas lg googling gw nemuin sebuah Toko Buku Online dari Indonesia ~ bukabuku.com, yang selain menjual buku” Indonesia jg menjual buku” Import dari berbagai negara di luar negeri sana. Gw search ‘n eng ing eng.. Tnyatta adaa 
Walopun harga na di atas 100 ribu, tapi yiaa wajar lah. Nama na juga novel non terjemahan. Ini nih review 2 novel yang gw incer itu :
Ransom My Heart
by: Meg Cabot, Mia Thermopolis
Mia Thermopolis, Princess of Genovia and star of Meg Cabot’s insanely popular #1 New York Times bestselling Princess Diaries books, has “penned” her first historical romance novel . . . with help from Meg Cabot
He’s a tall, handsome knight with a secret. She’s an adventurous beauty with more than a few secrets of her own. Finnula needs money for her sister’s dowry, and fast. Hugo Fitzstephen, returning home to England from the Crusades with saddlebags of jewels, has money, and lots of it. What could be simpler than to kidnap him and hold him for ransom?
Well, for starters, Finnula could make the terrible mistake of falling in love with her hostage.
Princess Mia Thermopolis, Meg Cabot’s most beloved character, has always been an outspoken animal-rights activist and committed environmentalist. In keeping with Mia’s true spirit, Meg will be donating her advance to Greenpeace.
3 Willows: The Sisterhood Grows (3 Willows(Hardback))
by: Ann Brashares
summer is a time to grow
seeds
Polly has an idea that she can’t stop thinking about, one that involves changing a few things about herself. She’s setting her sights on a more glamorous life, but it’s going to take all of her focus. At least that way she won’t have to watch her friends moving so far ahead.
roots
Jo is spending the summer at her family’s beach house, working as a busgirl and bonding with the older, cooler girls she’ll see at high school come September. She didn’t count on a brief fling with a cute boy changing her entire summer. Or feeling embarrassed by her middle school friends. And she didn’t count on her family at all. . .
leaves
Ama is not an outdoorsy girl. She wanted to be at an academic camp, doing research in an air-conditioned library, earning A’s. Instead her summer scholarship lands her on a wilderness trip full of flirting teenagers, blisters, impossible hiking trails, and a sad lack of hair products.
It is a new summer. And a new sisterhood. Come grow with them.

See? Meg Cabot and Ann Brashares are my fave Authors ever (ahaa xp). I love them. And I love their novels. Terbukti dari novel” mereka yang mampu menyita sluruh waktu gw pas ngebaca na. Dan karya mereka berdua sama” Best Seller. Liat ajj The Princess Diaries series (I – X) karya Meg Cabot yang udah mulai gw baca sjag 2004. Terus The Sisterhood series (1st – 4th summer) karya Ann Brashares yang waktu itu 1st summer-na (Sisterhood of The Travelling Pants) gw psen lsg dari Jakarta gara” tu novel gada gw temuin di Surabaya (2005).
3 Willows adalah karya Ann Brashares yang kelima stelah 4 seri Sisterhood. Dan gw belum nemuin satupun versi eBook na di Internet. Kalo Ransom My Heart gw uda punya sbenerna yg eBook. Tapi tetep pent baca lsg dari buku asli na 
) Bayangin deh. Seorang tokoh fiksi dari sebuah novel (Mia Thermopolis), membuat novel dan kemudian dipublikasikan. Bukan hanya dalam kisah fiksi-na. Tapi jg dalam KEHIDUPAN KITA!!! Oh, Meg Cabot.. U’re so WONDERFUL!!!!
) Dongo ahk gw xp
