[Reseña] Simply Irresistible de Jill Shalvis
In one fell swoop, Maddie loses her boyfriend (her decision) and her job (so not her decision). But rather than drowning her sorrows in bags of potato chips, Maddie leaves L.A. to claim the inheritance left by her free-spirited mother-a ramshackle inn nestled in the little coastal town of Lucky Harbor, Washington. Starting over won't be easy. Yet Maddie sees the potential for a new home and a new career-if only she can convince her two half-sisters to join her in the adventure. But convincing Tara and Chloe will be difficult because the inn needs a big makeover too. The contractor Maddie hires is a tall, dark-haired hottie whose eyes-and mouth-are making it hard for her to remember that she's sworn off men. Even harder will be Maddie's struggles to overcome the past, though she's about to discover that there's no better place to call home than Lucky Harbor. |

[Cinema] Primer Poster de The Fault in Our Stars
Ayer salió el primer poster de la película The Fault in Our Stars, esta está basada en el best-seller que lleva el mismo nombre de John Green. Este libro es muy popular, de hecho lo tengo en mis pendientes a leer. Sé bien que es extraño que no haya leído un libro sobre el que se ha hablado tanto en Internet, de hecho no he visto una sola reseña mala sobre él (lo cual es increíble). Pero tengo que admitir que no lo he leído por el tema, para los que no lo conocen, esta es la historia de amor de una chica que tiene cáncer. Todo sabemos cómo esto va a terminar, y la idea de estar llorando mientras leo no me atrae mucho.
Luego de que se revelara el nuevo poster, en Internet se armó un revuelo por el tag line de la película, esa partecita que dice “One sick love story”. Muchos fans la odiaron porque tal vez satirizaba un tema serio como el cáncer, esa es mi suposición. El lio fue tan grande que el autor, John Green, dio una declaración en su Tumblr al respecto:
“I like the tag line,” Green wrote after saying it’s not his decision and isn’t his movie. “I found it dark and angry in the same way that Hazel is (at least at times) dark and angry in her humor. I mostly wanted something that said, ‘This is hopefully not going to be a gauzy, sentimental love story that romanticizes illness and further spreads the lie that the only reason sick people exist is so that healthy people can learn lessons.’ But that’s not a very good tag line. I like the tag line because it says, literally, the sick can also have love stories. Love and joy and romance are not just things reserved for the well.”
Independientemente de si el tag line es políticamente incorrecto o no, debemos admitir que este poster está precioso *.* Es tan hermoso que me han dado de ganas de buscar el libro y leerlo ahora mismo :0P
La protagonista de esta esperada película es Sharlene Woodley, quien hace el papel de Hazel Grace. Su cara les debe de parecer conocida porque ella últimamente sale hasta en la sopa, es la protagonista de otra película basada en un libro, Divergent; también salió en The Spectacular Now. El joven que da vida a Augustus Waters es Ansel Elgort, este actor es menos conocido que su compañera pero lo curioso es que también sale en la película Divergente, haciendo un papel secundario. The Fault in Our Stars se estrenará en Estados Unidos el 6 de junio de 2014.

[Reseña] Tuya a Medianoche de Lisa Kleypas
Cuando una inesperada herencia eleva a su familia a las filas de la aristocracia, Amelia Hathaway descubre que atender a sus hermanas menores y su hermano rebelde fue fácil en comparación con las complejidades de la nobleza. Aún más difícil: la atracción que ella siente por el alto, moreno y peligrosamente apuesto Cam Rohan. Rico más allá de lo que podrían sonar la mayoría de los hombres, Cam se ha cansado de las restricciones mezquinas de su sociedad y desea regresar a sus raíces gitanas incivilizadas. |

[Fragmentos] Where She Went de Gayle Forman
The tiniest rebel teardrops formed in the edges of her eyes and she angrily swatted them away.
“What? What is the matter?” I asked, softening. Mia wasn’t prone to crocodile tears, or to any tears, really.
She shook her head. Lips sealed shut.
“Will you just tell me? It can’t be worse than what I’m thinking, which is that you’re ashamed of Shooting Star because you think we reek to holy hell.”
She shook her head again. “You know that’s not true. It’s just,” she paused, as if weighing some big decision. Then she sighed. “The band. When you’re with the band, I already have to share you with everyone. I don’t want to add my family to that pot, too.” Then she lost the battle and started to cry.
All my annoyance melted. “You dumb-ass,” I crooned, kissing her on the forehead. “You don’t share me. You own me.”
Esta es una foto real de la película basada en el libro If I Stay, que está siendo filmada ahora mismo ^.^ Mas adelante les traeré más imágenes de la filmación.

[Reseña] Blackmoore de Julianne Donaldson
Kate Worthington knows her heart and she knows she will never marry. Her plan is to travel to India instead if only to find peace for her restless spirit and to escape the family she abhors. But Kate’s meddlesome mother has other plans. She makes a bargain with Kate: India, yes, but only after Kate has secured and rejected three marriage proposals. Kate journeys to the stately manor of Blackmoore determined to fulfill her end of the bargain sooner rather than later and enlists the help of her dearest childhood friend, Henry Delafield. But when it comes to matters of love, bargains are meaningless and plans are changeable. There on the wild lands of Blackmoore, Kate must face the truth that has kept her heart captive. Will the proposal she is determined to reject actually be the one thing that will set her heart free? Set in Northern England in 1820, Blackmoore is a regency romance that tells the story of a young woman struggling to learn how to follow her heart. |
