¡Hola corazones! Este lunes 16/11 hice un posteo en IG sobre como aproximarse a aprender del cine y salir de nuestras zonas de confort mirando otros cines. El post está ilustrado y usa de ejemplo la filmografía de Truffaut

Three novels reviewed from #Netgalley.
¡Hola corazones! Como siempre, esta es una colaboración (triple) con #Netgalley y va a estar en inglés. Las novelas llevan las dos primeras tres y la última cuatro estrellas. Fueron lecturas de Octubre y recién me estoy poniendo al día con las colaboraciones de esta página del bien. (Leo mucho en inglés y me encanta la opción de "Read Now" que tiene que te presta el libro de inmediato, pero cada préstamo es una responsabilidad con la editorial para reseñar la novela y ser honestos.)
Así que sin mas dilación las tres reseñas:
Hi there! This
time I come with three novels very different that I was provided from
#Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
In Cold Blood by Jane
Bettany
I was
specting that DI Isabel Blood at her 56 years old would be some sort of these
new kind od UFC (unlikeable female character) but she is not. And She is
amazing.
At the very
beginning the twins Amy and Paul Whitworth are renovating an old property from
the sixties when they found human remains (a skeleton) buried in the backyard.
At first they decide not to do anything but finally, the called the police. The
drama begins whit the fact that the detective live in her teens in that house
and her father went missing. Could the body in the garden be him?
Spoilers
ahead….
It is not
him. So she can be involved in the investigation.
End of
sopilers.
After that
the thriller is truly gripping. The pace is fast and is like a cool procedural
british show. Slowly I’m getting used to the DI, DS titles instead of
detective, or police man so used by the americans in their thrillers.
It has a
lot of plot twists and I can say I was very addictive. Once you start it you
kept going until find out who? Where? When? How? It happen. And There is paper
work after the big break trhu!
I really recommend
it for fans of the thrillers and I hope there will be more adventures from DI
Isabelle Blood.
The haunting of Beatrix
Greene by Serial Box Publishing
I have my
serious doubts after I picked it. I wanted a Halloween reading but I wasn’t
prepare to find out it was an edit of a serial novel published online.
I have
mixed feelings because, for instance, every serial ends with a big cliffhanger
to kept you going. (Which is good)
It was like
reading some old penny dreadful of gothic terror. The first part was narrated
by Rachel Hawkins (Which is why I picked it) I loved her trilogy, Hex hall at
the end and wanted to see how se was writing for older audiences.
The first
serial is very introductive but is so freaking good! It has these vibes from
The show Penny Dreadful and the movie The Crimson Peak that it was a really
satisfactory reading for Halloween.
The
victorian medium, in a creepy house full of ghost really pay out but it was not
so out of the ordinary. I guess I can feel the differences between the episodes
written by every author. Thou they try to keep it very well edited, is like a
show when sometimes, the first few chapters are good and then in the middle it
drag some parts…like a dead weight (pun intended).
For me is
three stars. (I would say 3.5 Victorian gothic stars but goodreads is all or
nothing.)
Love the
red dress cover better than the one with the frame on it.
The poppy and the rose by
Ashlee Cowles
I wanted to
choose some young adult novel to read in October and this one strikes me at
first sight. The synopsis was very interesting promising both mystery and
historical fiction. Topics that aren’t your usual cup of tea.
The story
is told by two points o f view: Ava Knight in 1912 and Taylor in 2010.
I loved
Taylor point of view, the mystery about her father and the lovely and colorful
characters that she met in Oxford. I’m such a big fan of OXFORD since I’ve
read A discovery of witches pretty much
I wanted to go there to study anything and this teen gets a summer Journalism
program pretty much for free… you gotta love that books exists!
It was well
paced and the two POV makes everything more exciting to read, letting the mistery
unfold in the very last part of the novel.
Like the
author saids in her review: I love Titanic and historical facts, I love intrigue,
I love romance and I love mystery in the good old England that looks like
Downtown Abbey so I’m going to rise my 3.5 Oxford stars up to four in goodreads,
because this book deserves it.
