Book Review: Mid Life Love by Whitney Gracia Williams

Friday, May 27, 2016
So, I’ve been already read this book and quite impressed by the story and the main characters. And these are what I thought about the book.
Here the screenshot taken from #Goodreads.com (Book cover and brief description of the story):

Moral of the story by me of course (not sorted):
1) You may have a great wonderful legendary career but it never be the main point to make you feel happiness
2) You may be pretty or beautiful or handsome or gorgeous but it not last forever. We human aging, yanno!
3) All we need is love, Love is all we need😀 (singing it ala Ariana Grande: Love is Everything)
4) Even life sometimes sucks don’t worry God will give you ways to overcome everything #keeppraying
5) If by any chance there’s someone disappointed you, keep in mind because there will be another person out there will make your day lighten up again (ehem, okay maybe not just person, it can be your pet, your hobby or anything that helps #wink)
6) If your love life sucks, don’t worry keep searching the right person because there should be 1 person as your destinied lover and don’t diving too deep into your sadness, because Adam only has one Eve after all!
7) Every people in the world has right to be happy
8) True friends will always by our side in ups and down
9) Age never be a problem if you never make it as a problem
10) Love at first sight is truly exist
Ohhh, If by any chance there is a “Jonathan” outside this very real world, please let me know #grinning.
Because I kind of infatuating with him, the most jealous and possessive and sexiest man ever alive in a romance novel! #sigh
A caring lover, super duper possessive, didn't give a shit about "what so called common sense rule" like the age gap or physical outstanding. Even he could do anything in his power to make her, his only. And I can only say "WOW!"
Honestly, I kind of annoyed by the fact that Claire, 11 years older than Jonathan. Is it possible for a man fall in love with older woman let say 11 years older? Because I heard women hit maturity faster than men. But who could denied chemistry and the love sparks? No one I think.
And I thought for a while after read this book and asked myself what is the most intense love of all? First love or Love at the first sight?
And my answer is "Love at first sight". Because it is kind of draining all of energy and messing up your mind all at once, make you blushing, your heart suddenly beating so fast, can't think straight at that time and couldnt even look him/her in the face without blushing even harder. OMG! It's like hit by thunderbolt of love!
Nah, I just remember the quote from novel Star Crossed by JS Taylor:
Cause, You are the thunderbolt, That shot into my heart, And when that thunderbolt hits, You know, You know. Nothing will ever be the same!
I'm really enjoying this book, definitely my 5* book and stories and characters and all the enchanting words and all the banter, thanks Author you are amazing!

Book Review: Gabriel’s Inferno (Gabriel’s Trilogy #1) by Sylvain Reynard

“What do you expect me to say—that I don’t want you? I’m not going to say that. I love you Gabriel, all of you. Please don’t push me away when we’ve finally gotten close.” Julianne Mitchell, p.423, Gabriel’s Inferno by Sylvain Reynard
This Book review is about my recent read novel, Gabriel’s Inferno by Sylvain Reynard, a Gabriel’s trilogy book #1. The others in this trilogy are Gabriel’s Rapture and Gabriel’s Redemption.
Here is the screenshoot from #Goodreads:

This book is sooooo “English & Italian literature” in every possible way. Quoting or citing from English/Italian classic literatures or telling us about it, from Dante story to CS Lewis and Tolkien’s dragon and Gollum and etc. Then somehow mentions some classics art painting from Boticelli.
As she rested on his chest, he whispered Dante’s words to her in Italian:“Color di pàerle ha quasi in forma, quale convene a donna aver, non for misura; ella è quanto de ben pò far natura; per esemplo di lei bieltà si prova. De li occhi suoi, come ch’ella li mova, escono spirti d’amore inflammati, che fèron li occhi a qual che allor la guati, e passan sì che ‘l cor ciascun retrova: voi le vedete Amor pinto nel viso, là ‘ve non pote alcun mirarla fiso.”
Taken from Gabriel’s Inferno p.469
Although, honestly I did not know some of the classic books mentioned nor Italian language, but sure I know when the characters said something about Gollum and His precious😀
The romance story, indeed, makes my heart beating and I kind of felt what Julianne felt, a shy and “traumatized by the past” woman who still lingering her feeling for her first love. Sylvain was successfully making me, imaginary experiencing what the characters do, their acts, their emotions and the places described in the novel #bravo #clap2
“I love you, Gabriel. You have to accept the fact that I’m not going anywhere.” Julianne Mitchell, p.442, Gabriel’s Inferno by Sylvain Reynard
And for me who believe in “soulmate”, “a happily ever after”; and “muse of life/my knight in shining armor”,  this book is definitely my favorite. Another 5* book in my #Aldiko rack😀hahaha!. I quite an avid reader so I need #Aldiko to keeping all of my ebooks, e-novel, docs and all my digital collections, so I can always read wherever I go, because all of it staying in my smartphone (who mostly used for read or streaming Youtube #XperiaZultra)
Okay, so this novel taught me so much morals, as below (not sorted);
1. Do not ever using DRUGS or deal with it, its results only bring destruction to your life or R.I.P
2. If by any chance, you’re already a “user”, go get some help, rehab or whatever to keep you clean and hopefully will never ever touch it again
3. First love is sooooooo romantic! Gabriel is Julienne 1st love  who blessedly stay in her heart for years! (Ahhhhh, it makes me remember my 1st love!!!!!)
4. A loving family with loving & caring & supportive parents, that’s what every child need the most
5. God always forgiving our sin, so make peace with your sins yourself first.
6. True love never leaving you in a darkside, he/she will sticks to you in all kind of situations, through the good and the bad. And will help you to find the light #wink #howromantic #sigh
7. Adopting is a kind act to help make this world a better place by providing 1 lonely and homeless(not homeless in “houseless” meaning, but kind of “feel at home”) child in your gentle and loving care. ONLY if your situation enable you to adopt in every aspects. S
8. Find the true love of your life is a blessing. Its move heaven to earth, otherwise it likes move hell to earth, hahaha! #seriously
9. Do not performs any ABORTION (unless it is for health reason)! It is so wrong in every aspects! Its a terrible sin! Be responsible for your act!
10. Learn and studying what you likes and maybe make a living from it. That way you will enjoy working, because you do what you like, right? #smilling

Be Grateful & Stay Young!

Hi guys!
Have you been grateful today?
Well, I always be! 😘
Okay, so today I like to talk about being grateful.
grate·ful – adjective
feeling or showing an appreciation of kindness; thankful.
(thanks Google for the translation! 😝)
I like to show my appreciation for almost all things, from the clear sky to a shade color of Lipstick💄.
And I always grateful for everything that happened or will be happenning in my life, either it is happy-go-lucky or 😔 sad 😔 situation.
Thanks God, this week He reminded me to be  “Grateful” when my boss raised my Monthly salary. While some people at my office didnot get “expected raise” but I got a very “unexpected raise”. In total I got 13.33 % raise in my monthly salary. What a number! That’s quite a raise in such economy condition.
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
So I prayed and give thanks to God, because I always know everything happens under His control. And I always believing that salary raise is not only because the kindness of my boss but ultimately is because God happy with my way of work so He rewarding me.
Sometimes it is easy to be grateful for happy events but it will be difficult while we facing the sad event. I, too like that occasionally, but I try and try and try again my best to always be grateful because I know my God always have better plans, bigger plans and happier plans from me (and for you,too! 🌟) so He taught me the sad events so I will always remember how God help me went through all difficult situations.
Do not be worry for anything just keep praying, be grateful and always ask God for all the plans we have so He will give His blessings and all of our work and plans will be successful. 🌈
I wish this share will encouraging all of you to always be grateful because there are millions of meaning from just an event! Being grateful will make you happy and glowing all the time! One of so many recipes to be young (anti-aging recipe! 😄😄😄😁😁😁😙😙😙)
Have a wonderful day!
Love,
Winterize
