30 Days Book Challenge
Day 5: A book that makes you happy and (yeah, I’m going to cheat because this one also fit well with another day challenge) Day 7: A book that makes you laugh

I’m going to present to you one of my favorite Indonesian novel that never failed to cheer me up. (Sadly, there’s no English translation available yet as far as I know.) Padang Bulan and Cinta dalam Gelas by Andrea Hirata. A fine slice-of-life tale about women empowerment told through a chess competition held in a small village in rural Sumatra. Important life lesson most often is found at the strangest place, and this humorous yet emotionally charged story knows that very very well.
