Sinopsis 

“Si entonces procedí mal dejándome convencer, recuerde que lo hice mirando por mi seguridad y previniendo un riesgo ciertamente posible.” Persuasión, Jane Austen.

Nada garantiza que un consejo dado con buena intención logre el resultado deseado y eso Anne lo sabe mejor que nadie, todavía hoy descubre a diario las consecuencias del que siguió hace poco más de ocho años. Pero va a cambiar, no volverá a celebrar su cumpleaños empapada por la lluvia tras trabajar más horas de las necesarias en ese restaurante.

La decisión de Anne se convierte en la chispa que desencadena una serie de eventos inimaginables hasta entonces: el reencuentro con sus amigos de la universidad, las inesperadas muestras de amistad de sus hermanas, el interés de su padre y la reaparición de Manel.

La inteligencia artificial forma parte de nuestro día a día, es el recuadro amarillo que nos reconoce en las fotografías del móvil o el mapa que nos dice cómo llegar a dónde queremos ir desde nuestra casa, pero Manel lleva años creando algo distinto, una inteligencia artificial que se llama Jane. Por Jane Austen. Y no tiene nada qué ver con Anne, aunque ella se llame Anne Elliot, como la protagonista de Persuasión.
Tampoco es por ella por lo que lleva años leyendo a Austen e investigando a Tom Lefroy.

Tom Lefroy es uno de los grandes misterios de la literatura, es el hombre que supuestamente le rompió el corazón a Jane Austen y la lanzó a escribir. Aunque tal vez creer eso sea un gran error. Tal vez Jane Austen y Tom Lefroy tuvieron otra clase de relación y tal vez Manel y su Jane puedan descubrir la verdad si Anne, esta Anne de hoy en día, toma la decisión adecuada.

Sinopsis 

Nicolette Bresson never thought she’d return to the de Vincents’ bayou compound. It’s where her parents work, where Nikki grew up... and where she got her heart broken by Gabriel de Vincent himself. Yet here she is, filling in for her sick mother. Avoiding Gabe should be easy, especially when so much of Nikki’s time is spent trying not to be stabbed in the back by the malicious hangers-on who frequent the mansion. But escaping memories of Gabe, much less his smoking-hot presence, is harder than expected—especially since he seems determined to be in Nikki’s space as much as possible.

Gabriel spent years beating himself up over his last encounter with Nikki. He’d wanted her then, but for reasons that were bad for both of them. Things have now changed. Gabe sees more than a girl he’s known forever; he sees a smart, talented, and heartbreakingly beautiful woman... one who’s being stalked from the shadows. Now, Gabe will do anything to keep Nikki safe—and to stop the de Vincent curse from striking again.

Sinopsis

When Warren has the opportunity to live with a female roommate, he instantly agrees. It could be an exciting change.

Or maybe not.

Especially when that roommate is the cold and seemingly calculating Bridgette. Tensions run high and tempers flare as the two can hardly stand to be in the same room together. But Warren has a theory about Bridgette: anyone who can hate with that much passion should also have the capability to love with that much passion. And he wants to be the one to test this theory.

Will Bridgette find it in herself to warm her heart to Warren and finally learn to love?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

#1.5. MAYBE NOT

Mi opinión 

La verdad es que me ha gustado mucho conocer un poquitín más la historia de Bridgette y de Warren, además del pasado de Bridgette. También me ha parecido gracioso una de las escenas que involucran a Sydney y si habéis leído Maybe Someday podréis saber de qué escena hablo realmente.

Me ha parecido muy gracioso conocer porqué Warren estaba tan metido en el porno cuando Sydney llegó a sus vidas, porque realmente nunca dice la razón por la cual no deja de verlo. Además de que llegamos a conocer por qué Bridgette se mudó con los chicos. Sin duda Warren me ha encantado, además de que la historia se encuentra narrada desde su punto de vista. 

“Stop telling yourself that you aren’t lovable. Because it’s pissing me off. I don’t care if you aren’t ready to admit how you really fell about me yet, but don’t you dare dismiss how I feel about you. Because I love you.” I kiss her on the side of the head.

No puedo decir mucho sobre el libro porque simplemente no ha sido demasiado largo para tener tantos comentarios de este. Pero lo único que puedo decir es que lo he disfrutado y que es super fácil y rápido de leer.

Y hasta aquí la mini reseña de este mini libro, ¿qué os ha parecido? ¿Os ha gustado? Contadme ^^

Sinopsis 

Not every mistake deserves a consequence. Sometimes the only thing it deserves is forgiveness.

The Voss family is anything but normal. They live in a repurposed church, newly baptized Dollar Voss. The once cancer-stricken mother lives in the basement, the father is married to the mother’s former nurse, the little half-brother isn’t allowed to do or eat anything fun, and the eldest siblings are irritatingly perfect. Then, there’s Merit.

Merit Voss collects trophies she hasn’t earned and secrets her family forces her to keep. While browsing the local antiques shop for her next trophy, she finds Sagan. His wit and unapologetic idealism disarm and spark renewed life into her—until she discovers that he’s completely unavailable. Merit retreats deeper into herself, watching her family from the sidelines when she learns a secret that no trophy in the world can fix.

Fed up with the lies, Merit decides to shatter the happy family illusion that she’s never been a part of before leaving them behind for good. When her escape plan fails, Merit is forced to deal with the staggering consequences of telling the truth and losing the one boy she loves.

Sinopsis 

The only daughter of a prominent samurai, Mariko has always known she’d been raised for one purpose and one purpose only: to marry. Never mind her cunning, which rivals that of her twin brother, Kenshin, or her skills as an accomplished alchemist. Since Mariko was not born a boy, her fate was sealed the moment she drew her first breath.

So, at just seventeen years old, Mariko is sent to the imperial palace to meet her betrothed, a man she did not choose, for the very first time. But the journey is cut short when Mariko’s convoy is viciously attacked by the Black Clan, a dangerous group of bandits who’ve been hired to kill Mariko before she reaches the palace.

The lone survivor, Mariko narrowly escapes to the woods, where she plots her revenge. Dressed as a peasant boy, she sets out to infiltrate the Black Clan and hunt down those responsible for the target on her back. Once she’s within their ranks, though, Mariko finds for the first time she’s appreciated for her intellect and abilities. She even finds herself falling in love—a love that will force her to question everything she’s ever known about her family, her purpose, and her deepest desires.

La tripulación del Angelique está orgullosa de ser lo que es: una tripulación de piratas. Su día a día consiste en navegar por los mares de Marabilia entre aventuras, asaltos a barcos y búsqueda de riquezas: en definitiva, los piratas del Angelique viven sin acatar leyes ni obedecer órdenes de nadie. 

Hasta que el rey Geraint de Dahes los captura y todo apunta a que eso se ha terminado. La pena por piratería es la muerte. A no ser, claro, que alguien les proponga un trato que les permita salvarse... Uno que a su vez ofrezca la posibilidad de una venganza muy ansiada. 

Ante un tesoro tan valioso como la libertad cualquier precio parece escaso.

«En tan solo un segundo, el mundo se tiñó de negro y ya nada volvió a ser lo mismo»

Hannah tenía un futuro prometedor en aquello que más amaba: la danza sobre hielo. Una meta por la que había luchado junto a Nicholas, su mejor amigo y compañero, durante los últimos diez años. Hasta que el error de otro le demostró lo efímeros que pueden ser los sueños.

Mikhail hace mucho que olvidó lo que era disfrutar al salir a la pista. Es más, tras la lesión que lo obligó a retirarse del patinaje artístico, creyó que nunca tendría ocasión de recordarlo. Sin embargo, el destino parece dispuesto a darle la oportunidad de volver a competir y, sobre todo, de cumplir una promesa grabada con tinta en su cuerpo. Claro que para ello tendrá que convencer a Hannah de que juntos pueden lograr grandes cosas.

Para ambos, luchar por un nuevo comienzo significará tener que hacer frente a sus heridas emocionales, porque solo si son capaces de curarlas encontrarán la manera de vivir y amar sin fronteras.

Sinopsis 


When kingdom come, there will be one.

In every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born—three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers. Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomachache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions.

But becoming the Queen Crowned isn’t solely a matter of royal birth. Each sister has to fight for it. And it’s not just a game of win or lose… it’s life or death. The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins.

The last queen standing gets the crown.

Sinopsis 

Kell is one of the last Antari, a rare magician who can travel between parallel worlds: hopping from Grey London — dirty, boring, lacking magic, and ruled by mad King George — to Red London — where life and magic are revered, and the Maresh Dynasty presides over a flourishing empire — to White London — ruled by whoever has murdered their way to the throne, where people fight to control magic, and the magic fights back — and back, but never Black London, because traveling to Black London is forbidden and no one speaks of it now.

Officially, Kell is the personal ambassador and adopted Prince of Red London, carrying the monthly correspondences between the royals of each London. Unofficially, Kell smuggles for those willing to pay for even a glimpse of a world they’ll never see, and it is this dangerous hobby that sets him up for accidental treason. Fleeing into Grey London, Kell runs afoul of Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. She robs him, saves him from a dangerous enemy, then forces him to take her with him for her proper adventure.
But perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save both his London and the others, Kell and Lila will first need to stay alive — a feat trickier than they hoped.

Sinopsis 

Nix has spent her entire life aboard her father’s ship, sailing across the centuries, across the world, across myth and imagination.

As long as her father has a map for it, he can sail to any time, any place, real or imagined: nineteenth-century China, the land from One Thousand and One Nights, a mythic version of Africa. Along the way they have found crewmates and friends, and even a disarming thief who could come to mean much more to Nix.

But the end to it all looms closer every day.

Her father is obsessed with obtaining the one map, 1868 Honolulu, that could take him back to his lost love, Nix’s mother. Even though getting it—and going there—could erase Nix’s very existence.
For the first time, Nix is entering unknown waters.

She could find herself, find her family, find her own fantastical ability, her own epic love.

Or she could disappear.
