wishful wednesday

What, another Wednesday? Kenapa waktu cepet banget berjalannya ya? Where did my January go?

Yahhh.. apapun itu, Rabu berarti bermimpi-mimpi dan semoga bisa membawa semangat di sisa minggu ini 🙂

Saya sedang membaca buku berjudul A Gentleman in Moscow, yang memiliki setting di hotel Metropol, Moscow. Ternyata buku dengan setting hotel itu seru juga. Saya sendiri pernah tinggal sekitar 3 minggu di sebuah hotel karena urusan kerjaan, dan ternyata kehidupan hotel behind the scenes sangat menarik, karena banyak tempat-tempat yang tidak kelihatan oleh para tamu biasa.

Saya jadi semangat browsing-browsing buku berlatar belakang hotel, dan ketemulah judul Eloise (Kay Thompson, Hilary Knight), salah satu buku anak klasik yang memang dari dulu sudah bikin saya penasaran.

eloiseMeet Eloise, the precocious darling of the Plaza Hotel!

Eloise is a little girl who lives at The Plaza Hotel in New York. She is not yet pretty but she is already a Person.
Henry James would want to study her.
Queen Victoria would recognize her as an Equal.
The New York Jets would want to have her on their side.
Lewis Carroll would love her (once he got over the initial shock).
She knows everything about The Plaza. She is interested in people when they are not boring.
She has Inner Resources.
If you take her home with you, you will always be glad you did.

Eloise memiliki beberapa sekuel lagi yang sepertinya semuanya juga seru, tapi yang paling ikonik memang buku pertamanya yang bersetting di Plaza Hotel, New York.

Yuk, share WW mu juga 🙂
