Dalam buku Pribadi Hebat, Buya Hamka menuliskan, "Orang yang merdeka tidak takut dengan kemerdekaan orang lain."

Lalu kusambung,

Orang yang berhasil tidak cemas dengan keberhasilan orang lain.

Orang yang bahagia tidak iri dengan kebahagiaan orang lain.

Begitulah, meski masih sulit untuk diamalkan, semoga bisa menjadi bekal memperbaiki diri ke depan.

As the year winds down, so does our tale… but only for a short while. We're taking a brief hiatus to recharge our creative energies and to bask in the festive spirit of the season. But don't worry, this isn't goodbye, it's just a see-you-later.

Book Review for Neanderthal Seeking Human

As the first book I have read by Penny Reid, I really wanted to love it! While I did enjoy the humor (she had me laughing before I finished the first page), I just couldn’t go all in with this book. The the storyline of Janie and Quinn was solid; however, it was the subplots that consistently pulled my attention away, causing my interest to dip until we were finally able to get back to the heart of the story. Understanding Neanderthal Seeks Human was Penny’s debut novel, I believe her writing was still finding its footing and the rest of the series may be more formulated and awe-inspiring.

To say Janie has had a bad day would be a gross understatement. First, she finds out her boyfriend has been cheating on her. Next, she spectacularly destroys her work outfit and has to borrow a variety of items to resemble a partially functioning/half decent human being. But it doesn’t stop there! Of course she is also fired once she gets to work, conveniently being part of a downsizing of one. You would think mercy would be taken on her at some point but the icing on the cake, the extremely hot security guard – Sir McHotPants, the man she can’t even look in the face, has been assigned to escort her off the premises. What has she possibly done to deserve all of this?! Out of the three sisters, she was the good one, the calm one, the one who always did the right thing. Taking a deep breath (after hiding in the bathroom post firing and pre McHotPants), Quinn leaves with her head held high and resolves to get her life back on track. After sulking around the apartment and embracing her new reclusive way of life, her roommate and best friend Elizabeth suggests a girls night out. Not knowing what she signed up for, she definitely wasn’t expecting to run into McHotPants – i.e. Quinn! She also didn’t expect to wake up hungover, in her underwear, and in a strange bed the next morning! Quickly to reassure her nothing happened, Quinn offers to help Janie snag a job where he works. Going full circle and back where it all started, Janie finally feels like things are working out. Now if she can just figure out her love life. Lucky for her, Quinn has an answer for that too!

While I don’t see myself reading any more books in this series, I do highly recommend it for those who love a steamy romance with humor, suspense, drama, and a quirky group of characters that keep you smiling, guessing, laughing, and loving from beginning to end.

Monday Happy Monday,

Today, I have two books on the agenda. Coyote Bound and Southern Blue Blood 3. I’ve finished my edits on what was going to be The Councilwoman’s Girlfriend. I’ve retitled it, Old Flame, New Fire. 

Why? I don’t know. I just like the sound of it. It’s about a councilwoman running for mayor and the games that ensue. Her campaign manager sets out to clean up her image and make her look for stable but this fauxmance could cost the councilwoman her shot.

I plan to publish this month. We’ll see. Here’s a look at one possible cover. Until next time, 

Happy Reading

How to create a reading list for personal and professional growth

Introduction

In today's fast-paced world, we often find ourselves short on time and energy. But that doesn't mean we can't find ways to grow personally and professionally. One of the most effective ways to do this is to create a reading list.

Reading is an essential part of learning. It gives us the opportunity to gain knowledge, broaden our horizons, and explore new ideas. It can also help us develop our critical thinking skills and increase our understanding of complex topics.

But deciding what to read can be daunting. To help make the process easier, we've put together a guide on how to create a reading list for personal and professional growth.

Why is Reading a Good Idea?

Reading is one of the most efficient ways to learn and grow. It can provide valuable insight into a wide range of topics and introduce us to new ideas. It can also help us develop our critical thinking skills and increase our understanding of complex topics.

Research has shown that reading can have numerous benefits for both our physical and mental health. According to a study by the National Institutes of Health, reading can reduce stress levels, improve cognitive function, and even help us live longer.

Reading can also help us develop our emotional intelligence. It can help us understand and empathize with others and can even help us develop a better understanding of ourselves.

How to Create a Reading List

Creating a reading list can be a great way to get started on your journey of personal and professional growth. Here are some tips on how to create a reading list that will help you reach your goals.

Step 1: Set Your Goals

The first step in creating a reading list is to set your goals. What do you want to achieve through reading? Do you want to gain knowledge in a specific field, develop your critical thinking skills, or learn more about yourself? Once you have identified your goals, you can start to build your reading list.

Step 2: Find Sources

Once you have a clear idea of your goals, you can start to find sources to add to your reading list. Start by identifying the topics you want to read about. Then, look for books, articles, magazines, blogs, and other sources that cover these topics. You can also consult experts in the field or ask people who have already achieved what you are trying to accomplish.

Step 3: Make a Plan

Now that you have identified the sources you want to read, it's time to make a plan. Decide how much time you can dedicate to reading each day or week. Then, create a schedule that outlines when you will read each source. Finally, make sure to set aside some time for reflection and note-taking.

Step 4: Stick to Your Plan

Creating a reading list is only half the battle. You also need to stick to your plan. This can be difficult when life gets in the way, but it's important to stay committed to your goals. Set reminders on your phone or write your plan down on paper. This will help keep you on track and ensure that you don't miss any deadlines.

Conclusion

Creating a reading list for personal and professional growth is an excellent way to learn and grow. It can provide valuable insight into a wide range of topics and help us develop our critical thinking skills.

By following the steps outlined above, you can create a personalized reading list that will help you reach your goals. Just remember to set realistic goals, find the right sources, make a plan, and stick to it.

With a little dedication and discipline, you can use your reading list to achieve great things. Happy reading!

Malfoy’s Mom Has Got It Going On

What happens when Harry gets caught peeping on a dare? Warning: very suggestive.

Damn it, Ron….

That was the line constantly running through Harry’s head as he peeked from his hiding spot between a rack of clothing so dusty he could hear the moths buzzing about; his eyes were narrowed at the woman examining herself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror. Under a corset, she was trying on robes, obviously a new set given the way her hands traced down her sides and over a pair of rather prominent hips.

Damn it, Ron….

Now, why was Harry hiding amongst clothes and stealing glances at this long-haired witch with the blonde streaks? Well, it all started with a single bet.

Coming into their fourth year at Hogwarts, also their fourteenth year of life, the inevitable urge to do something daring (and stupid) had grabbed Harry and Ron’s logic in a chokehold. To wit, Ron bet Harry half his chocolate frog card collection if he managed to nick…well…a pair of knickers.

Normally, Harry would have dismissed the bet as foolhardy—add to it the nagging Hermione would drill them with once she eventually found out��but over the summer he had nursed a rather strong attraction for chocolate frog cards, even managing to amass some rare ones of wizards and witches he didn’t even know existed—and Ron’s collection was, for lack of a better word, godly. Having been part of the wizarding world since birth, it stood to reason that Ron’s collection would trounce Harrys’ by a country mile, so for Ron to bet half his collection….

Damn it, Ron….

He couldn’t have been in his hiding spot for more than half an hour but it already felt like several hours had passed by, no doubt a symptom of nerves. They had chosen a relatively quiet shop within Diagon Alley, one that sold high price robes of various materials, for Harry to commence with operation: nick the knickers. The problem was, Harry didn’t have the first clue on how to go about doing that and his mind raced from all the types of hell he would catch if he got caught (dragging Ron down with him, of course) to what he might see. As exhilarating as this bit of mischief was, he had low hopes of nicking something worthwhile as they had only seen the rich old fogey types shamble in and out during their brief recon of the store.

So never in a million years did it occur to Harry as he knelt between those musty racks of clearance-bin robes (which were still exorbitantly priced) that he would one day bear witness to Narcissa Malfoy, Draco Malfoy’s mother, in the midst of hitching up an experimental pair of midnight satin black robes that looked more like lingerie than everyday garments. All at once, he felt sickened, repulsed, angered—just utterly filled with contempt for the mother of the boy who seemed to believe it his sworn destiny to harass Harry every day at Hogwarts. Just the sight of this abhorrent witch caused his stomach to curl….

And yet, as he silently watched her drag those lengthy fingers of hers up her thigh, no doubt determining the feel of the lacy stockings she had slipped on underneath her robes, there was something else Harry was feeling, something that confused him as much as it excited him….He knew he despised this woman for more than one reason from her detestable mistreatment of non-purebloods to how she spit vitriol at him and his friends whenever possible, but now he was starting to see her in a new light.

Literally.

Bathed in what little sunlight that managed to trickle down from the rafters above, her skin appeared to glow before his eyes, soft and—his nose twitched—very scented; she smelled surprisingly lovely, not at all like the pure dung that her attitude comprised of. That annoyed Harry more than he cared to admit, and he knew that when she first walked in is when he should have revealed himself, bet or no…but he didn’t, remaining just as concealed as before.

A part of him, strangely enough…a part of him wanted to see this, what she would do, what she would change into, how it would look on her figure…because as aghast as Harry was to admit it, Narcissa had an excellent shape, one that he understandably never noticed before having been blinded with immediate dislike. A regal face that seemed to ooze command and scorn in equal amounts, Narcissa had the aged yet refined air of a woman never to be crossed, and her neck was nicely slender. Harry could feel his eyes tracing that elegant curve down to her bosom, which was displaying an indecent amount of cleavage thanks to the push from her corset, more than enough to make Harry blush. He never paid attention to breast all that much before but hers…they bounced with her slightest movement and looked every bit as creamy as her skin. She had her back to the mirror, glancing over her shoulder to check her reflection and unknowingly providing Harry a good look at her barely covered front. From under the corset came the rest of her black silk robes, trailing to the ground…and unbuttoned. He first noticed her hips, how they protruded with a sensual flair and came around into a pair of rather thick thighs, thicker than he would have given the dignified matron credit for; he couldn’t even see a gap for Merlin’s sake.

And then, with a hard inhale, one that filled his nostrils with more of her captivating scent, he noticed it: the pair of purple panties hugging her hips for dear life. His heartbeat quickened, he almost felt lightheaded—but he was staring right at them, subconsciously tracing them with his eyes, noticing everything from the little pink bow on the front to the way they seemed to be stretched taut against her…

Thank you, Ron…
