MY WISHFUL WEDNESDAY [ 29 ]

MY WISHFUL WEDNESDAY [ 29 ]

Sudah lama tidak ikut WW, selain berusaha ‘mengerem’ nafsu berbelanja dan berusaha menghabiskan timbunan (semoga benar-benar kelihatan hasilnya dalam tahun ini ...), dan tekad untuk tidak berbelanja dengan alasan ‘nilai tukar dollar dengan rupiah yang semakin meningkat’ – ternyata niat-ku tidak direstui, buktinya mbak Astrid mendapat ‘ilham’ untuk buat Giveaway Dadakan (^0^)

Nah, karena itulah diriku ikutan ‘hunting’ dan ‘browsing’ cari buku-buku baru *salah-satu obat stress itu pantengin website online bookstore kyahaha, asal umpetin dulu CC supaya tidak tergoda masukin dalam keranjang belanja* --- alasan dan pembenaran nih. Anyway, event dadakan ini dalam rangka memperingati ultah Yofel – Dino Boy yang unyu buah hati mbak Astrid, Happy Birthday Yofel *muachh* (apalagi klo tante Maria jadi menang, wuahhh...bakal kupeluk + kucium jarak jauh, supaya tidak dipentung Mommy Dino)

Sambil merapal mantra dan jampi-jampi (semoga manjur), so, inilah Wishlist-ku kali ini (please Mr. Cute Random...pick me-pick me-pick me) :

The Man In Iron Mask 

by Alexandre Dumas

Preview :

The Man in the Iron Mask is the final episode in the cycle of novels featuring Dumas' celebrated foursome of D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, who first appeared in The Three Musketeers. Some thirty-five years on, the bonds of comradeship are under strain as they end up on different sides in a power struggle that may undermine the young Louis XIV and change the face of the French monarchy. In the fast-paced narrative style that was his trademark, Dumas pitches us straight into the action. What is the secret shared by Aramis and Madame de Chevreuse? Why does the Queen Mother fear its revelation? Who is the mysterious prisoner in the Bastille? And what is the nature of the threat he poses? Dumas, the master storyteller, keeps us reading and guessing until the climactic scene in the grotto of Locmaria, a fitting conclusion to the epic saga of the musketeers.
