Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Hello!
It's good to be back. A lot of work to do, but now I got time to do the TTT. So, here are my ten books with 'flower' on the cover. I should give the disclaimer that most of my books are Indonesian books and I choose the recent book that I read. So, it's not necessarily my favourite.

After watching My Love Mix-Up, I really have an interested to read many BL manhwa. In My Closet is one of them This manhwa tells the story of Sua who likes his manager, Jung. As an Idol, it's not easy for Sua to open up his feeling. Moreover to coming out as gay, Thankfully, Sua's feelings and Jung's are mutual. In the end, they support and love each other dearly. So many cute scenes here. Not to mention that the art is so beautiful.
2. Besok Kita Belum Tentu Saling Mengingat (Tomorrow We Don't Necessarily Remember Each Other) - Dopra
So, actually, it's not a flower in the cover, it's a plant. But, since the cover is beautiful, I would like to add it to this list. The poetry book is always been part of my reading journey. For me, most of the poetry in this book is emphasizing a lot of rhetorical questions. Then, the theme itself is predominantly about loneliness and unrequited love.
3. Call from An Angel - Guillaume Musso
One of the french translation books that I ever read. I thought this book is an ordinary romance, but it turns out to be a mystery. The plot is a little bit slow, but the ending makes me curious more. Should I read the second book, then?

4. Mencari Simetri (Looking for Symmetry) - Annisa Ihsani
Tbh, Ihsani's book is such a refreshing book. With a thoughtful plot, the story won't have a plot gap whatsoever. Most of the parts are very relatable to my life. Sadly, I hardly remember the story. Lol. Maybe this book is not that memorable for me.
Rikako's novel is always interesting to read. As a mystery novel, Rikako should be praised because most of her work is really unpredictable. Then, the mixture of mystery, horror, and thriller in her novel is really unbelievable. I really hope that her work would be translated into a lot of languages so many people can read her amazing story.
6. Lovely Heist - Prisca Primasari
The story about a thief organization and how they can manage to survive in this cruel world, with their limitation, can be found on Lovely Heist. I love how Prismasari put her word in this story. Liquor and Frea still being my favourite couple in this series.
"Because you can't heal your heart with break the other's heart.. or break yourself..."

7. The Rose & The Dagger - Renee Ahdieh
The story about how Shahrzad finally can accept Khalid with all of his flaws, and also how Khalid trusts Shahrzad about his weakness is unveiled through this second book. The story is quite complex since most of the story would tell the threat of war in Khalid's empire and etc.
8. Traces of Love - Clio Freya
The latest book from Fay's Adventure Series. I really love this book so much and I still waiting for the fourth book. Hope Clio Freya will publish it soon.
9. Morning Light - WIndhy Puspitadewi
One of the most memorable books that I ever read when in high school. It talked about how each of the characters should live under the shadow of their closest one, starting from the father, mother, sibling, etc. Sometimes, we didn't realize our potential since we only put our attention to chasing that shadow.
10. Mawar Merah: Mosaik (Red Roses: Mozaic) - Luna Torashyngu
Mawar Merah is always one of my favourite teenlit novels. The story is very intriguing and I don't think not many authors in Indonesia will write about an assassin. So, this novel is really worth reading.
Finally! I have finished my list. How about you? As from TTT we can share our booklist with each other, let's just say that I wanna introduce you all to Indonesian books. Hope you enjoy it.
Have heard some good things about Morning Light. Will have to give it a look. Thanks for sharing!

DeleteThank you for visiting!
I like the covers you chose. They are different than the other flower ones I've seen today. More subtle.
