The Book of Tomorrow

Have you ever read a book, that by the time you finished it, you feel like there's a part of you that has changed? That you finally realized this was the right book for you? Well I have. I just finished it this morning. This book titled The Book of Tomorrow.



"I think that most people go into bookshops and have no idea what they want to buy. Somehow, the books sit there, almost magically willing people to pick them up. The right person for the right book. It’s as though they already know whose life they need to be a part of, how they can make a difference, how they can teach a lesson, put a smile on a face at just the right time."
This book is about an almost-17 years old girl named Tamara who was used to get everything she ever wanted since his dad was a very successful man. But then her dad died and she had to lose everything. Her mother and she moved to her uncle's house, Arthur in the country. Her uncle's wife, Rosaleen, was a very odd woman who at the end, you'll know that she'd been hiding so many secrets.

Tamara was very bored. She didn't have any friends there. But then she found this book, a locked and old book, from the traveling library. She couldn't open it, until she met Sister Ignatius, a friendly 70 years old nun, who could unlock the key. And what she found on that book, was a diary of 'Tamara of Tomorrow'. The book told her some things that will happen on the day after she read it. And there her world changed.

Not to spoil the ending but that part was very unpredictable. She finally found out the truth about herself and her family.
And she finally realized, that she was actually a lucky girl.
"All families have their secrets, most people would never know them, but they know there are spaces, there are gaps where the answers should be, where someone should have sat, where someone used to be."
This is a highly recommended book about how tomorrow can change today. So now, can you please go to a bookstore near you, take this book, then bring to the cashier and pay it? ;)

  2. I really like the plot, seems like a really good book. In the end, I think we can all learn a valuable lesson here and that is " There's no place like home".
    Merry X-Mas!
    P.S. I wasn't a cat lover either until we had our cat.

  3. Yes, aku mahasiswa di sana sampai Juli 2010. Sekarang udah lulus.
    Hm, about bunch of task, semua jurusan pastinya tugasnya banyak. Kalau PL tugas laporannya sangat banyak, kalau AR mungkin tugas desain, tapak, dll yang sangat menyita waktu.
    Cmon, semangat dear. Reach your dream to join SAPPK :)
