A book not known by many but it's worth a try!

Love...a single word full of meaning and also the greatest fear in this society. For those in this book it is known as "Amor Deliria Nervosa", a deadly disease that can turn your life upside down in the blink of an eye.

"Love: It will kill you and save you, both. But it does not tell you this: that love will turn the whole world into something greater than itself."(Delirium)"

When all your life you've been told that this disease is the end of everything as you know it, there is only one thing left to do, being cured, at least that's what Lena thought. The government demands that every person has to be cured through a neurologic procedure at the age of 18, to prevent the disease. Then you can marry a man that they have chose for you based in a series of evaluations, it's like a type of match. Of course, there are people who believe the disease is the worst thing that can happen to somebody, beginning with it's symptoms (explained in the book of Shh) and the consequences of them. But there is also those who would risk everything to keep feeling the "symptoms" of the disease and choose a life of freedom, these people are called invalids.

Lena lives a simple life with her aunt and two cousins. She spends most of her time with her best friend Hana (the reckless one). Both of them will be cured in a few months. Lena has been counting the days to get the procedure. The disease has destroyed her family, and she doesn't want to end like her mother "crazy in love". That's the only thing in her mind, until she...well you have to read it.

The only way to achieve happiness and stability is receiving the cure but, will Lena receive the cure and live a robot life controlled by the government? or will she choose a life of freedom?...

This book presents a very different story that can captivate you and draw you inside the world created by Lauren Oliver. The author mixes romance, suspense and adventure in a complete different way that leaves you wanting more. The way she transforms what we know about love and the brain mechanisms that underlie it is amazing. The beggining of the book is a little slow and can be boring sometimes, but i can asure you...KEEP reading it and you won't be disappointed. I can't wait for the second book. Hope you enjoy it as much as i did.

"I'd rather die my way than live yours" (Lauren Oliver, Delirium)

A new series to look for…

 

    The series is called Soul Screamers and the author is Rachel Vincent. I haven't read it but her offer sounds good enough for me to post it here. I plan to start reading it soon enough so I will keep you posted. Here is the main idea of the series:

"She doesn't see dead people, but...

She senses when someone near her is about to die. And when that happens, a force beyond her control compels her to scream bloody murder. Literally.

Kaylee just wants to enjoy having caught the attention of the hottest guy in school. But a normal date is hard to come by when Nash seems to know more about the need to scream than she does. And when classmates start dropping dead for no apparent reason, only Kaylee knows who'll be next..."

The author wrote a book that serves as preview to the series: Reaper; and hey, it is free so no harm done if you don't like it, right?

Here is the site in amazon for the free novella if you want to check it, that is:

Enjoy…and feeling lady-like this day so no cursing for me today.

Whoop, whoop!!!

    After reading some books- that sadly- put the written word to shame- I am happy to announce that Sarah MacLean is about to release her new book: Eleven scandals to start to win a duke's heart. This is the third book in her number-titled book series. The first one being "Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake" and "Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord".

    And why exactly does this makes me happy? You may wonder and I would tell you this: because Sarah MacLean has become-very rapidly, may I add- one of my favorite romance authors of all times. Her writing is heart shrinking (many unexpected turns in the plot), the way she develops characters is plausible-like (makes you fall in love with the characters so beware) and laugh your ass off, too (their witty comments are rather smart). So if these reasons above mentioned are not good enough to get you started reading one of the Sarah MacLean romance novels, then, your liking is beyond me.

 

HOT, HOT, HOT

Ultimamente estoy leyendo muchos libros de bomberos, paramedicos, policias y soldados, jajajaja asi que aqui les dejo unas pics pa' que se recreen la pupila. Yo quiero uno de regalo de cumple, navidad, etc...

The fourth book of the mortal instruments series: City of fallen angels

Um, sorry I was gone for so long. But I am sort of back…kinda. In my defense I do have a life besides reading and writing. Well, I was writing but it was for different reasons than reading and writing for mere pleasure. Enough about babbling! Focus, woman. Focus! Okay…I am back and I already read the fourth book of the mortal instruments installment, so here are my thoughts: what a Bitch! That's what! Leave Jace alone, woman (Britney moment- what?-sue me)! She doesn't let that man enjoy himself- not even for a second and that's just wrong and playing mean. If you don't like open endings then this book isn't for you- at all. Beware- the end just leaves you wanting more. Of course Cassandra Clare is brilliant in her writing, I don't deny it, and she gives you enough troubles in the plot to cause you a heart attack and makes you laugh your ass off with the witty characters and their comments (everyone is witty in the series) and then leaves you like that—with an open ending and only God knows when the other book will come out! But yeah- I loved it and hated it and still fighting at some points with her (she might not know we are fighting- but I do and that's enough…for now)—I guess that's what makes her one of my favorite writers of all times…

Wait, I just checked and there is a date for the next book: May 2012 and it's going to be called City of lost souls. I would love to have a strong conversation with that woman…mostly it would involve something among the words of "get to work damn it and write faster- don't stand up until you finish it and my eyes are on you--but I don't know-- there is no real way to know, is it?

Until next time : )

So far- so good…

I recommend you to give the title one more look. Just for the sake of saving the trouble of a future disclaimer…why? Well, 'cause I haven't finished the book yet so with that being said, here is my review for this book-so far. The author: Evie Byrne, seems like a funny gal – her writing is easy to approach and page turning.

Oh…and did I mention the hot-hottie of Alex- the main male character? Cause if I failed on such a task allow me space for redemption…Alex fallows the successful proposal of what a fictional character should be: dark, tall and handsome…and funny, sarcastic, single-minded, stubborn and well…he's a stalker…a very attentive stalker- but a stalker nonetheless.

Excerpt:

"Alexander Faustin is ready to settle down. He travels from NYC to sunny Colorado to find his destined bride. His delicate mission: to explain to her that vamps exist, that he happens to be one himself, and that he'd like her to be one, too. But the moment he lays eyes on Helena MacAllister, talk is the last thing on his mind.

It's not like Helena to make out with a stranger on her front porch, much less invite him into her bed. Somehow Alex makes her feel safe, even while he's dismantling her defenses. But in the wake of an accident, her faith in him is shattered. She learns her dream lover is a monster."

Here is a little bit about the author:

"My given name is Eustacia Victoire Byrne, but everyone who is not my mother calls me E.V. or Evie. I live and work in Los Angeles. When I'm not writing fiction, I write non-fiction under a different name. I hold a BA in art history and an MFA in art making.

Many author biographies claim that the author has been writing stories since she could first wrap her fingers around a crayon. Not me. All my life, if I picked up a crayon or pencil, I drew a picture with it. Now I'm drawing with words and have never been happier."
