[Fragmentos] Bloodlines de Richelle Mead
“There’s only one Moroi we know of living in Palm Springs,” said Keith. As he spoke, I noticed that his tousled blond hair was practically coated in gel. It gave his hair a slimy shine that I didn’t think was attractive in the least. Also, I didn’t trust any guy who used more styling products than I did.

Sydrian Time!!
Esta entrada está completamente dedicada a una de mis parejas favoritas en este momento: Sydney y Adrian de Bloodlines. Si no han leído el primer libro de esta serie les recomiendo encarecidamente que lo lean (es mejor leer la serie Vampire Academy primero, ya que ahí es donde se introduce el universo desarrollado por Richelle Mead, perooo pueden comenzar a leer Bloodlines sin haber leído la serie mencionada primero).
Porque me gusta tanto esta pareja?
· Es un amor prohibido. Ya lo había mencionado, los amores prohibidos tienen ese “je ne sais quoi” que lo hacen tan atractivos y deseados en las historias románticas.
· Porque son tal para cual. A pesar de que a simple vista ambos sean diferentes: ella siempre sigue las reglas, muy organizada y súper responsable; el fiestero, rebelde, incorregible, incomprendido, coqueto (y un grupo mas de etcéteras que lo hacen tan deseable :P), en el fondo son muy similares. Cito la frase de Bloodlines donde Sydney lo explica:
I also suddenly realized that, as unlikely as it seemed, Adrian and I had a lot in common. Both of us were constantly boxed in by others’ expectations. It didn’t matter that people expected everything of me and nothing of him. We were still the same, both of us constantly trying to break out of the lines that others had defined for us and be our own person. Adrian Ivashkov — flippant, vampire party boy — was more like me than anyone else knew.
· Porque cuando están juntos todo se ve más brillante. Tienen muchos momentos bonitos, y me encantó que el romance no fuera a primera vista sino que se fuera desarrollando de a poco, que fueran amigos y comenzaran a comprenderse. Cuando comienzan a apoyarse y defenderse es tan obvio que están enamorados, pero Sydney parece no notarlo. Lo admito: Sydney y Adrian me gustan mucho mas como pareja que Rose y Dimitri.
Traté de buscar un fragmento mágico de Sydney y Adrian en Bloodlines y The Golden Lily que no spoileara mucho pero que demostrara porque estos dos son especiales. Aquí está :D
“No, no… I mean… ” Adrian looked at me and then quickly averted his eyes. “After what he said about me, I can’t stand the thought that you might think less of me.” I was so surprised that I couldn’t muster a response right away. When I did, I blurted out the first thing that came to mind. “Of course I don’t.” He still wouldn’t look at me, apparently not believing my words. “Adrian.” I laid my hand over his and felt a warm spark of connection. He jerked his head toward me in astonishment. “Nothing he said could change what I think of you. I’ve had my mind made up about you for a long time… and it’s all good.” Adrian looked away from me and down to where my hand covered his. I blushed and pulled away. “Sorry.” I’d probably freaked him out. He glanced back up at me. “Best thing that’s happened to me all day. Let’s hit the road.” Fragmento de The Golden Lily |

[Reseña] Unsticky de Sarra Manning
High fashion, high art, high expectations – this is Pretty Woman for the twenty-first century Money makes the world go round – that’s what twenty-something Grace Reeves is learning. Stuck in a grind where everyone’s ahead apart from her, she’s partied out, disillusioned, and massively in debt. If she’s dumped by another rock-band wannabe, squashed by anyone else at her cut-throat fashion job, or chased by any more bailiffs, Grace suspects she’ll fall apart… So when older, sexy and above all, wealthy art-dealer Vaughn appears, she’s intrigued against her will. Could she handle being a sugar daddy’s arm candy? Soon Grace is thrown into a world of money and privilege, at Vaughn’s beck and call in return for thousands of pounds in luxurious gifts, priceless clothes – and cash. Where’s the line between acting the trophy girlfriend, and selling yourself for money? And, more importantly: whatever happened to love? |

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.. o como Elizabeth Bennet llegó al siglo XXI
Cuando me enteré de que existía un video blog (vlog) cuya protagonista no era más que la adorada e inmortalizada Elizabeth Bennet (cariñosamente Lizzie) de Orgullo y Prejuicio, tuve mis dudas. No me imaginaba como era posible adaptar la historia de Orgullo y Prejuicio al día de hoy a través de un video blog *ceja inquisitiva casi llegando al nacimiento del cuero cabelludo* hasta que vi los primeros videos, que siguieron con los demás hasta que llegué hasta el último que se había publicado hasta ese momento. Y ahora soy una fiel seguidora de The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.
Muchos fans de Orgullo y Prejuicio o Jane Austen seguro se pondrán su monóculo y dirán “pero eso no es fiel al libro, bla, bla, bla..” pues les cuento que los creadores de este vlog se las han ingeniado para que esta nueva versión sea lo más fiel al libro posible y al mismo tiempo hacerla divertida y cómica para que los jóvenes de ahora se puedan identificar con los personajes. Cada video es protagonizado por Lizzie que nos narra los acontecimientos de su vida que rondan (sorpresa, sorpresa) alrededor de su familia y la obsesión de su madre de casar a sus hijas con hombres de fortuna. Los videos están en inglés (sin subtítulos) lo que es una total lastima para aquellos que no entiendan muy bien ese idioma, pero a todos los que si entienden inglés les sugiero que vean par de estos videos/capítulos, no tienen desperdicio :D
Les dejo el primer capítulo de The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, enjoy! :D
