EMMA - JANE AUSTEN

OPPOSITION - JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT

August 5th 2014
Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came.

She can't believe Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has become an emotion that could destroy her—could destroy them all.

Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal.

They must team with an unlikely enemy if there is any chance of surviving the invasion. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything— even what they cherish most—to ensure the survival of their friends…and mankind.





Leer ÚNICAMENTE libros de "moda"

Mucha gente que conozco nunca en su vida había leído un libro, nunca. ¿Pero adivinen qué? Bajo la misma estrella llegó. No lo malinterpreten, BLME es un gran libro, lástima que ahora se volvió tan sobrevalorado  que ya nadie lo lee por leer, sino para ser populares.

 DIVERGENTE no es la excepción. Recuerdo que en mi escuela nadie había leído ni conocía el libro. Y créanme, estuve diciendo por meses que era uno de los libros más buenos que he leído ¿¿¿y adivinen qué??? Me ignoraron… (Típico XD). Aaaaaah no, pero claro, sale la película con Theo James y ahora todas se creen divergentes bla bla bla. BLA.

También me ha tocado ver a mucha gente que critica a los que leen libros de moda (créanlo o no, no soy una de ellas). ¿Por qué? ¿En qué les molesta?..... Estoy harta de la siguiente frase: “El que lee los libros que todos estan leyendo solo  piensa lo mismo que los demás”. O_O

Emma - JANE AUSTEN

Beautiful, clever, rich - and single - Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.

Marcapáginas de corazón

Un marcapáginas muuuy lindo y sencillo :3 ¡¡Recuerden que cualquier cosa es mejor que doblar la hoja de un libro!!
















Reseña: El lado explosivo de Jude - NICOLE WILLIAMS

★ ★ ★ ★  
Te quiero pero te odio.
Lucy ha oído decir esta frase incontables veces, pero hasta ahora nunca había pensado que podía llegar a comprenderla tan bien. En realidad, desde el día en que conoció a Jude navega por aguas turbulentas, incapaz de aclararse y descifrar qué siente. Entre toda la confusión, algo le parece evidente: Jude no es adecuado para ella. Cínico, inaccesible, descarado hasta decir basta... En definitiva, el clásico chico malo que parece predestinado a romperle el corazón a quien sucumba a sus encantos.
Y, sin embargo, Jude ejerce una extraña atracción sobre ella. Una atracción de al que parece imposible escapar...

Little Women - LOUISA MAY ALCOTT

The four March sisters--Meg, Amy, Beth, and feisty Jo--share the joys and sorrows of growing up while their father is away at war. The family is poor in worldly goods, but rich in love and character.

CRUSH (#3) - NICOLE WILLIAMS

Football glory. A giant diamond. A wandering eye.

Jude and Lucy are happily engaged . . . but that doesn't mean life's a bed of roses.

Once again, Jude and Lucy are torn apart by football training and a summer job that creates new tensions. This time Jude's the one with trust issues. Will Lucy's life-changing news bring them back together or end their relationship for good? Can love triumph forever?

CLASH (#2) - NICOLE WILLIAMS

Their Romeo-and-Juliet-level passion is the only thing Jude and Lucy agree on. That, and fighting all the time . . .

Also not helping? Lucy's raging jealousy of the cheerleader who's wormed her way into Jude's life.

While trying to hang on to her quintessential bad boy and also training to be the top ballet dancer in her class, Lucy knows something's going to give . . . soon.

How can she live without the boy she loves? How can she live with herself if she gives up on her dreams? If Lucy doesn't make the right choice, she could lose everything.






CRASH (#1) - NICOLE WILLIAMS

Southpointe High is the last place Lucy wanted to wind up her senior year of school. Right up until she stumbles into Jude Ryder, a guy whose name has become its own verb, and synonymous with trouble. He's got a rap sheet that runs longer than a senior thesis, has had his name sighed, shouted, and cursed by more women than Lucy dares to ask, and lives at the local boys home where disturbed seems to be the status quo for the residents. Lucy had a stable at best, quirky at worst, upbringing. She lives for wearing the satin down on her ballet shoes, has her sights set on Juilliard, and has been careful to keep trouble out of her life. Up until now. 

Jude's everything she needs to stay away from if she wants to separate her past from her future. Staying away, she's about to find out, is the only thing she's incapable of.

My life next door - Huntley Fitzpatrick

"One thing my mother never knew, and would disapprove of most of all, was that I watched the Garretts. All the time."

The Garretts are everything the Reeds are not. Loud, messy, affectionate. And every day from her rooftop perch, Samantha Reed wishes she was one of them . . . until one summer evening, Jase Garrett climbs up next to her and changes everything.

As the two fall fiercely for each other, stumbling through the awkwardness and awesomeness of first love, Jase's family embraces Samantha - even as she keeps him a secret from her own. Then something unthinkable happens, and the bottom drops out of Samantha's world. She's suddenly faced with an impossible decision. Which perfect family will save her? Or is it time she saved herself?

A transporting debut about family, friendship, first romance, and how to be true to one person you love without betraying another

Biografía de Jane Austen

Escritora inglesa nacida en Steventon el 16 de diciembre de 1775Jane Austen es considerada una de las autoras más influentes dentro de la literatura anglosajona.


De inicio precoz, escribió varias obras de niña que serían compiladas años después de su muerte, fue Sentido y Sensibilidad (1811) su primera obra publicada y con la que consiguió cierto nombre dentro del mundo literario. Dos años más tarde publicaría Orgullo y Prejuicio(1813), que se convertiría en un gran éxito y, posiblemente, en su obra más conocida.

De un estilo innovador en su épica, la novela romántica de Austen, cargada de tintes costumbristas, gozó de gran popularidad en su época y logró influir de manera notable a generaciones posteriores de escritores ingleses.


Orgullo y prejuicio - Capitulo I

Este es simplemente el primer capitulo de Orgullo y prejuicio, una de las seis novelas publicadas por Jane Austen. Este es uno de mis libro favoritos y espero que lean, no solo un capitulo, sino todos. 

****
CAPÍTULO I
Es una verdad mundialmente reconocida que un hombre soltero, poseedor de una gran fortuna, necesita una esposa.
Sin embargo, poco se sabe de los sentimientos u opiniones de un hombre de tales condiciones cuando entra a formar parte de un vecindario. Esta verdad está tan arraigada en las mentes de algunas de las familias que lo rodean, que algunas le consideran de su legítima propiedad y otras de la de sus hijas.

––Mi querido señor Bennet ––le dijo un día su esposa––, ¿sabías que, por fin, se ha alquilado Netherfield Park?

El señor Bennet respondió que no.

Elite - RACHEL VAN DYKEN

When I won the annual Eagle Elite College Scholarship lottery, I was thrilled. After all, my grandma had just died and I wanted to take care of my aging grandpa -- he couldn't be a farmer in Wyoming forever. And graduating from Eagle Elite meant opportunity.

But I wasn't counting on meeting Nixon.

Nor was I counting on the rules of the Elect.

1. Do not touch The Elect.
2. Do not look at The Elect.
3. Do not speak to The Elect.

And worst of all? Don't discover the secret they hide, because in the end, you may just realize... it's about you.

Reseña: Prohibido enamorarse de Adam Walker - LIA BELIKOV

Cuando pienso en Adam Walker, pienso en tres cosas: caliente, estúpido y peligroso.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Caliente, porque, digo, no se puede negarlo lo totalmente atractivo que es: cabello negro, ojos verdes, brazos musculosos, tatuajes discretos cerca de la base de su espalda y deliciosos dedos largos que parecen papas fritas listas para comer.

Peligroso porque el tipo, aparte de manejar una motocicleta, tiene un oscuro secreto que no se atreve a contarle ni a su sombra.

Y estúpido (en serio, ESTUPIDO) porque, bueno, eligió estar con mi prima Marie.
