Book worm: Lutesha: ‘Into romance and fiction novels’

Kapanlagi.com

Moviegoers might not be familiar with Lutesha. She is a model and is about to make her film debut in IFI Production’s upcoming film, My Generation.

As a model, Lutesha has had several achievements, such as being nominated as the one of the best video clip models during the 2017 Dahsyat Awards, being a cover model for Go Girl magazine and many more.

The Dutch literature graduate admits that acting in a film has been a dream of hers since childhood.

“I am a movie lover. I really love watching movies because it gives me room to play with my imagination,” she said.

As a kid, Lutesha liked to spend time reading books.

“I lost my interest in reading books during my junior and senior high school years. I became interested in reading again when I entered college because of my major. I had to read so many books as references,” she said.

While promoting her upcoming film, Lutesha works as a designer for a creative agency in Jakarta. Yet she still enjoys spending her time reading.

“When it comes to books, I love reading romance stories and fiction. I don’t really read other genres because they are somehow too heavy,” Lutesha said.

“I don’t consider myself a bookworm. But when I find myself reading, it gives me happiness,” she said.

Landline
by Rainbow Rowell

This is a sci-fi book. I love this book because the storyline is unique. It is about a husband and wife who are in dispute because the wife refuses to go with her husband. When the husband and the kids leave for somewhere, the wife stays at work. The wife suddenly discovers that she is able to call her husband’s 22-year-old self through his landline. The plot has a twist.

 

Norwegian Wood
by Haruki Murakami

A lot of my friends recommended this book to me. I was having so much fun reading it because I could relate to the story and I was emotionally attached. Despite his rambling sentences and long-paragraphs, I really love Murakami’s style of writing.

 

Lima Sekawan (The Famous Five)
by Enid Bylton

This was the first thick novel I read when I was in elementary school. At first, I was hesitant because I was not sure I could finish it.
