55

Image
¡Hola! Otro sábado aquí estamos dispuestos a charlar sobre libros y, hoy os quiero hablar de un libro que viene ni pintado para el otoño y, para ahora que viene Halloween. No sé vosotros, pero el verano y el otoño son mis momentos predilectos para leer thriller.  55 es una de las novedades de septiembre de Roca Editorial , a quienes por supuesto quiero agradecer el envío del ejemplar. Es un libro un poco distinto a los trailers que yo estoy acostumbrada a leer y, no solo es porque la historia esté ambientada en Australia, cosa que ya de por si es bastante innovadora. ¿Habéis leído algunos libro que estuviese ambientado en ese país antes?  Esta historia llama la atención porque trata sobre un policía en un pequeño pueblo al que de pronto le llegan dos personas contando exactamente la misma historia, sólo hay una diferencia: cada uno acusa al otro de ser un asesino en serie. ¿Quién está diciendo la verdad?  Además una de las cosas que más llama la atenci...

Tower of Dawn

¡Hola! Lamento que parezca que lo único que leo últimamente es Trono de Cristal, pero la verdad es que la historia se ha apoderado de mi vida por completo y, no he podido o querido parar hasta que he llegado hasta el final; de hecho, en el momento en el que estoy escribiendo esta reseña, estoy empezando con el último libro y, no sé muy bien qué voy a hacer cuando me acabe la historia porque de verdad que me está volviendo completamente loca y me esta encantando. Como viene siendo costumbre en estas reseñas os comento que al tratarse del sexto libro de la sega, es más que probable que os encontréis spoilers de los anteriores libros de la saga. Para facilitar os dejo una lista con los libros en orden cronológico, para que leáis la reseña correspondiente: The Assassins Blade Throne of Glass Crown of Midninght Heir of Fire Queen of Shadows Empire of Storms Y ahora si continuáis con la lectura saber que os exponéis  a spoilers de todos esos libros, aunque no d...

The Book Thief

Image
Hey guys! I am here again willing to tell you all my thought about a new book. Today I will be talking about The Book Thief, a book that unfortunately disappointed me. I was expecting so much from this book because all the hype that it has, but it was not a book for me. I consider this novel to be just “meh”. The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak was published back in 2005. And as I have just said I have high expectations for this book and the reality didn’t live up to those. I found some great things in the book and some that are not so great. I mean I only really enjoyed the last 100 pages, meaning that my obsession with no leaving books in the middle is justified. This story takes place during the Second World War and we follow Liesel a little girl that moves into a little town near München. She lives with a family that adopted her. During the novel we follow the live of the characters and I don’t want to tell much more: first because there is no much left to tell and second...

Lud-in-the-Mist

Image
Hey guys! Today I am bringing you a review of a book that I read back in October, but as I only post once a week review arrives a little bit late. Nevertheless, I am super excited to tell you all about this book because it´s perfect for all fantasy lovers. The book I am talking about is Lud-in-the-Mist by Hope Mirrlees. This book is a classic in the fantasy genre, in fact it was written before The Lord of the Rings was. Recently a Spanish publisher published it here and they were kind enough to send me a review copy. Thanks to Roca Editoral for that. Lud-in-the-Mist is a prosper merchant city in which due some events in the past, now everyone lives an extremely organized life. Everything that is related to the fairies was casted out of the city because; however, there is a fairy fruit that still coming into the city, illegally, set fruit is a drug. The thing is that no one is doing anything to solve the contraband problem, unless not until the son of the city´s mayor th...

Dear Santa:

This year I have been very good (I think) so I will like to ask for a few books this year, because as you might have notice already all I ever do is reading. I leave a list with all the books I want so you will have where to choose from. Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerry Maniscalo The reason why I have this book is actually quite simple: Jack the Ripper appears in the title. Just so you know everything that is related to this assassin makes me really interested. I have no idea about the synopsis, because I like to go blind into books, but I am highly interested in this book. Hunting Prince Dacula by Kerry Maniscalo This is the second book to the one I have just mentioned. I think it follows the same protagonist, but I am not sure. I want to read it because as you might know I never quit a series. A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro This book is a retelling of Sherlock Holmes, and I just love everything that is related to him. I don ’ t know the synopsis, b...

A Shadow Bright an Burning

Image
Hey guys! It´s Monday and that means that is time for our weekly appointment. Today I am bringing a review that I was very much looking forward to it. This was a book that I deeply loved when I read it back in September. I know it´s been a while since I read it but one only has so many time, but eventually all the reviews will come. Today I will be talking about A Shadow Bright and Burning by Jessica Cluess. I bought this book on the Madrid Book Fair and even when I wanted to read it I was not expecting to like this book as much as I did it. I was expecting A Shadow Bright and Burning to be just another YA novel full of clichés and truth to be told it was quite the opposite. A Shadow Bright and Burning is an amazing book and I will tell why you need to read it. The story takes place in the Victorian London, but history is not anymore as we have been taught because in this version of the world there are witches, wizards and sorceress. Henrietta is a young lady that has spe...

El Guardían del Círculo de Piedra

¡Hola! Hoy es día de traeros reseña de la más reciente publicación de la Editorial Hades, llamada El Guardián del Círculo de Piedra y, antes de que empecéis a leerlo os aviso para que no hagáis como yo: este es un segundo libro de modo que aunque se entiende sorprendentemente bien por sí sólo os faltarán algunas cosas y, su contexto para terminar de entender lo que pasa y, el sistema mágico.   Lo primero antes de empezar con la reseña, es agradecer a la Editorial Hades el envío del ejemplar para reseña. Y, ahora sin más dilación empiezo con la reseña.  En El Guardián del Círculo de Piedra seguimos a Christian un chico que desapareció junto con su hermana de  nuestro mundo hace 30 años. EL caso es que cuando los chicos reaparecieron estaban exactamente igual que cuando desaparecieron y, decían haber estado en un mundo lleno de hadas, elfos, hombres lobos y vampiros; como es lógico y normal, los tomaron por locos y, los adultos encontraron la explicación más r...
