Stories are more than just the places they take us.. they are the questions, feelings, and little pieces of life we find along the way.

We have collected six stories from different worlds, from quiet friendships and finding one’s path to mysteries, transformations, and everything in between—all available in Indonesian translation.

Hence, take a little time to get lost in these stories and see where they take you ♡

Love is more than just the giddy whirls of butterflies; it is the ache, the pain, and the grief we all experience—feeling everything all at once, it is the complexity of love that requires one’s willingness to learn in pursuit of acceptance.

We have collected beyond the books that make you feel helplessly in love, but also ones that highlight the shadow of romantic relationships.

From the Young Adult fiction like ‘The Seven Year Slip’ to heart-wrenching love letters from Franz to Milena, we have attached them all here.

Hence, indulge your Friday in the tales of love—both the light and shadow of it all. 🌬️💌

Imagine a book with a heavily scandalous protagonist who is so sick-mindedly obsessive, and an obvious example of a narcissist who is so full of jealousy. Oh, believe me! I am passionate of my sole hatred towards my own narrator, Juniper Song.

‘Yellowface’ is not just a best-selling book or the number one talk of the book community, but it is the kind of read that makes you want to engage with it and never put it down. Deserving of all the attention and acknowledgment, @kuangrf is a master of her craft.

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Perfect five-rising-stars.

‘Madonna in a Fur Coat’ is not just a book. It’s a feeling that is deeply etched into the bones of those who indulge in its uncertainties, longings, and miseries. The heart that never beats started beating again merely within a glance.

Raif’s love and his sense of belonging to Maria is something that resembles the most loyal, most complicated, ever-so-blue kind of feeling that will crawl into everyone’s bones when they read it. Get yours now, make this story yours and drown in its romantic melancholy. by @readwithpetals

Sebagai perempuan, kita seringkali terjerat dalam luka atas perbuatan orang-orang yang tidak bertanggung jawab.

Entah masyarakat ataupun oknum-oknum yang tidak memanusiakan manusia. Atas dasar itu, ini lah sebuah kurasi untuk teman-teman yang memiliki ketertarikan akan buku-buku yang menangkat isu serta kritik feminis dan juga fiksi tentang realita kepahitan yang harus dihadapi perempuan dalam hari-harinya.

Mulai dari ‘Sebelum Perempuan Bercinta’ karya Dea Safira, kritik feminisme yang berdasarkan teori-teori psikologi dari kacamata Esther Lianawati, ‘Ada Serigala Betina Di Dalam Diri Setiap Perempuan’ yang akan menjaga kewarasan diri di tengah konstruksi sosial dan budaya patriarki yang sering mengucilkan perempuan.

Tak lupa, kami juga memberikan karya fiksi dari Sasti Gotama, ‘Korpus Uterus’ yang menceritakan tentang betapa magisnya rahim seorang perempuan—tempat dimana sang janin berteduh, tempat dimana kepahitan dan kemanisan dapat bertumbuh menjadi satu. Ada yang berakhir selaras, ada yang berakhir berdarah.

‘The Second Sex’ yang menjadi landasan terkuat kritik feminisme modern, serta kehidupan Dasiyah yang mengikat tiap insan yang ikut andil dalam menyaksikan kisah kehidupannya lewat ‘Gadis Kretek’.

Selamat membaca! :-) 🌺🫶

On Wednesdays, we pick daisies! 👀💭

‘Picking Daisies on Sundays’ is more than just a romantic novel about fake dating a childhood best friend, it is a confession of love wrapped in series of endless gut-wrenching, heart-thumping, and hand-trembling moments in between two lovers.

A hopeless romantic, Daniella Daisy Maria lives like all of us girls do. We play endless rom-coms every Friday nights, wondering whether the same thing will happen to us as the idea of love seems enticingly lovely. The imagining process sounds like fun; closing your eyes before falling asleep, smiling to the thought of that one person you never imagined would happen to be the one that ended up falling for you instead of getting away.

Until the reality hits you like a truck.
He is not in love with you.

You vowed not to see him again. Until four years later, there he was, standing tall as gorgeously as ever—just like he always did. Your heart feels like it was pierced by a set of ancient sword that possess mystical power. You suddenly know nothing about how to breathe.

Follow the journey of Daisy as she picks up the petals of her question that was once answered yet now reappearing again: does Levi love her, does he not?

Mondays are for new beginnings and we are here to provide you a selection of new books bought by yours truly, @aleeitje. 🌸

From the interviews about myths (Parade Hantu Siang Bolong) and a story about a woman who plotted her way out of patriarchal marriage, culture, and society (Perempuan Yang Menangis Kepada Bulan Hitam), we think this lady will have enough books to devour for a whole month.

Want to get featured on our next #pip_book_haul? Slide by our direct message and we will cheerfully open the door for you. ⭐️📚 by @readwithpetals

Just a strum of guitar sneaking into your ears, a cup of warm coffee, and a sweet-smelling butter croissant accompanying you this morning.

Do you know what would complete this perfect day? A cozy book; one that feels like morning after stormy nights, a friend that is always there, sitting right by your side.

Pick your favorite one to read (or eat), Petals! 🥐⭐️😚
