SeoulMate is a novel written by Indonesian author based on Korea culture, which is reasonable if we see it by market demand. Nowadays, teens gonna choose lovey-dovey-Korea-novel since many people start to look at Korean culture like their singer, artists, and most popular one, boys/girls band.

This 11th novel by Lia Indra Andriana successfully interest me by it's cover which I think very cute and despite of the cover, the storyline itself surprise me. Tho I'm not a real writer, I read lot of books, and these weeks I try to read some Korea genre, which most of them are just too cheesy and there are too many annoying parts, but this SeoulMate novel is different in many way.
I fall for it cover and the story.

So, the story take place at Korea where lives Kim Sun, a girl who get part time volunteer work for an organization called Traveliyagi. One day, she was recruited by Si Won to SeoulMate, an organization which could help her explore and use her special ability : See the spirits.
At first, Sun refuse his offer until Si Won - he is the leader of SeoulMate - lure her using Dong's name. Dong is Si Won's best friend who have helped Sun in her hard time. 

SeoulMate itself accept their customer's demand and do a project where a Soul/Spirit must do it together with his/her mate. Sun was a mate for a unnamed soul who get an amnesia and ask her to gather information so that he could remember who he is. 
Unnamed, then Sun give him random name : Jang. Taken from a magazine when they look at it, Jang Geun Seok.
Day by day, their bad relationship start to be better, until they meet Arang, an old Korea soul.

At the same time, Sun feels jealous with that soul without herself noticing that she's in love with Jang, and they were in misunderstanding condition where Jang think Sun is hiding the information about his identity and Sun herself doesn't even know about it either why Jang keep throw his anger toward her. 

Well, how could a Soul and his mate being in love? This novel is a nice one and entertaining. You'll catch yourself somehow smiling when read it ;)

Twitter Fever

Title         : Twivortiare
Author      : Ika Natassa
Publisher  : Nulisbuku.com and Gramedia Pustaka Utama

Here it is, the 5th novel of banker-writer Ika Natassa : Twivortiare. Applying her writes into tweets is such an unique way to create a book, since we know twitter have limited characters in usage. That's one factor that I think good from this book.

What interest me of her writes IS how she could make those character so live, that there are no perfect someone, where everyone have their own bitchy side.

In this book, it tell readers about Alexandra's life by her tweets, which account have many people follow her and she's becoming a celebtwit (celebrity in twitter life). Still, it tell story of this bitchy banker love life who love late night dinner at Sabang fried rice with her hot-surgeon  husband.

Beside the main characters, there are their friends and uniquely, some replying tweets between Alex and her followers, which are random. 

This novel is worth to read and entertaining! Get one and spend your day with it is nice ;)
