Matched #3, Reached; by Ally Condie
Después de dejar la Sociedad y buscar desesperadamente a los Rising, y el uno al otro, Cassie y Ky han encontrado lo que buscaban, pero el precio ha sido perderse el uno al otro una vez más; a Cassia le han asignado trabajar para los Raisiong desde dentro de la Sociedad en tanto que a Ky le han destinado fuera de sus fronteras. Pero nada es como esperaban, y muy pronto se levanta el telón y las cosas cambian de nuevo.
Matched #2, Crossed; by Ally Condie
Con su amor, Cassia y Ky han quebrantado las inflexibles normas de la Sociedad y ahora deben asumir las consecuencias. El castigo para ella es olvidar todo lo sucedido y empezar de nuevo en otra ciudad, donde ha sido reubicada junto con su familia. Ky, sin embargo, no ha tenido tanta suerte: las autoridades lo han deportado a las Provincias Exteriores para que actúe de escudo humano en una guerra que quizá ni exista. Lo único seguro es que antes o después le alcanzará el fuego cruzado. Decidida a romper con el destino que le han impuesto, Cassia burla de nuevo las reglas y se desplaza hasta las Provincia Exteriores. Pero cuando llega, Ky ya ha huido. ¿Encontrarán el camino que les permita estar juntos? ¿Hallarán un lugar donde vivir en libertad?

Matched #1, Matched; by Ally Condie
Ha llegado el momento más importante en la vida de Calla: las autoridades van a comunicarle quién es su “pareja perfecta”, la persona con quien deberá compartir el resto de su vida. Pero un extraño error informático hará que Calla se enamore de la persona equivocada…
Nos encontramos en un futuro remoto, en una ciudad donde la tecnología es omnipresente y donde toda elección personal ha quedado depositada en manos de las autoridades para garantizar la plena armonía social: desde el trabajo que deben desempeñar todos y cada uno de los ciudadanos, hasta lo que deben comer o la persona de quien deben enamorarse.
En este mundo supuestamente utópico vive Calla, la protagonista de esta novela. A sus 17 años recién cumplidos, Calla acaba de asistir a la Ceremonia de Compromiso, el evento más importante en la vida de cualquier adolescente, porque allí se da a conocer quién es su “pareja perfecta”. A Calla las autoridades le han comunicado que, tras desarrollar un minucioso estudio de personalidad computerizado, la persona con quien deberá compartir el resto de su vida es Xander, su mejor amigo. Están predestinados.
Siguiendo el protocolo habitual de la ceremonia, Calla recibe un microchip con información detallada acerca de su prometido. Calla está impaciente por abrirlo: ¿puede ser que todavía haya algo que no sepa de su mejor amigo? Pero al llegar a casa y revisar la documentación, su sorpresa es mayúscula: en uno de los ficheros aparece la imagen de otro chico que ella también conoce: Ky, un vecino suyo. Muy preocupada, Calla decide guardar silencio, pero pronto un agente del Estado le revela que está al corriente de esta anomalía y le asegura que se trata solo de un error informático. Además, le explica que Ky es una “aberración”, un ciudadano de segunda que está excluido de la Ceremonia de Compromiso y que, por lo tanto, nunca podrá enamorarse y ser correspondido.
Este hallazgo despierta la curiosidad de Calla. ¿Por qué Ky no tiene los mismos derechos que los demás ciudadanos? ¿Qué secretos esconde? Para encontrar respuestas a todas estas preguntas, Calla buscará la amistad de Ky y, con el paso de los días, acabará enamorándose de él…

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #1, The Sword of Summer; by Rick Riordan - Cover reveal!
Hey there!
¡No puedo creerlo! ¡Está la portada del primer libro de Magnus! ¡OMFG! ¡Ya falta tan poco! Si alguien de un foro de traducción está leyendo esto, POR FAVOR EMPIECEN A TRADUCIRLO A PENAS LO CONSIGAN! Si quieren me pongo a traducir con ustedes ;-;
¡Estoy tan emocionada! ¡Justo a tiempo para el cumpleaños de Percy! (Y todas sabemos que las coincidencias no existen -aprovecho este momento para decirles que LEAN PANDORA EN WATTPAD YA MISMO. Eso sería todo).
Anyway, ¡Acá está!
Es el primo de Annabeth, así que en algún momento los nórdicos (o es noruegos? Nórdico no es lo mismo que noruego. ¡Es noruego! O puede que celta), van a cruzarse con los griegos. Y romanos. Y egipcios. Maldita sea, el mundo de Percy Jackson no para de crecer. ¡GRACIAS RICK!
Y si en algún momento (calculale libro seis dadas experiencias anteriores), se cruzan con los otros... ¡Percabeth volvería! Yeayyyyy!
Tengo un amor especial por Percy, ya que, aunque no fue la primera saga que leí, sí fue la que me introdujo en la lectura obsesivo-compulsiva y siempre va a tener un lugar especial en mi corazón por eso.
Momento cursi terminado... ¡GIF time!
Lo voy a dejar ahí o me entusiasmo. Jajajaja. Bueno, eso es todo por ahora, creo.

Adaptación cinematográfica del spin-off de Harry Potter!
Hey readers!
Acabo de enterarme... ¡Van a filmar Animales Fantásticos y Dónde Encontrarlos! Yeayyy!
Ya confirmaron la participación de J.K. Rowling como escritora y la de David Yates como director. Además ya están haciendo el casting!
De todos modos, no sé qué van a filmar teniendo en cuenta que este libro no tiene siquiera un argumento (que yo recuerde, lo leí hace mucho). Es estilo el Shadowhunter's Codex.
Pero bueno, es genial que no se hayan olvidado de Harry. Así que, a pesar de todo, ¡Buenas noticias para las fans de HP!

Ella ama a su novio Dale, pero temiendo el rechazo, mantiene sus sentimientos enterrados. Ni siquiera puede revelar cuán devastada está cuando Dale comienza a aplicar para universidades a miles de kilómetros de distancia; ni siquiera susurrar una palabra de lo mucho que desearía que él permanezca cerca.
Pero, cuando Dale es rechazado por la Universidad de Columbia en Nueva York, debido a un registro policial que lo sigue a donde quiera que va, Nicole pronto descubre que ese amor puede llevarla a hacer cosas que nunca pensó posible.

Sinopsis:
I’d like to tell you that I’m ok.
That the meaningless sex with countless women has somehow numbed the pain. That it’s deciphered the constant confusion in my head. Eased the self-hatred that sinks into my gut every time I look in the mirror.
I’d like to tell you that time heals all wounds.
That we evolve and grow into well-adjusted, stable adults, set on a path to right the world’s wrongs. That we are not our past…we are not our pain.
I want to tell you all those things. Hell, I want to believe all those things. But I’d be lying. I’m good at that. Living a lie is the only way I truly know how to survive.
But the day I saw her, I stopped surviving. I stopped existing. And for the first time in 24 years, I started living.
She brought me back to life. Set me free and sent my soul soaring. Made this useless shell of a man feel like…something. Something whole and real and good.
She saved me.
Although she believes I wasn’t even worth saving.

After years of hard work and determination, I am exactly where I want to be in life. As the top ranked Freestyle Motocross rider in the world, I have more money than I could ever dream of spending and gorgeous women throwing themselves at me in every city I land. I have everything I could ever want.
Everything except her.
While in Breckenridge for my best friend’s wedding, I was introduced to Dakota Shavell, a friend of the bride-to-be, and from the moment our blue gazes met, sparks flew.
What I initially intended to be a single steamy night together turned into a scorching two week road trip to New Orleans with a sassy-mouthed blonde. Being between her legs gave me a bigger adrenaline rush than I’d ever gotten from flying through the air while straddling a bike.
It was supposed to just be fun, a good time. I planned to walk away unchanged.
But it was more. Feelings I never intended to have got involved, and I’ll never be the same.
Yet, I still walked away.
Except now I’m injured and my outlook has changed. Priorities have become clear.
And I’m going back to reclaim her…to show her that together we can make the fire between us burst into flames.

Sinopsis:
She thinks he’s an arrogant playboy.
He thinks she’s an uptight prude.
But he’s about to make her an offer she can’t refuse.
Nicola Price used to have it all – a great career, the perfect boyfriend, an excessive shoe collection and an apartment in one of San Francisco’s best neighborhoods. But when she gets knocked up and her asshat boyfriend leaves her high and dry, Nicola’s perfectly crafted world comes tumbling down. And stays that way.
Now, Nicola is the proud single mom to a five-year old daughter and living a giant lie. She can barely afford their ghetto apartment and all the men she dates run when they hear she comes with a child. She’s struggling and scared – and nowhere near where she thought she’d be at age thirty-one.
Her saving grace comes in the form of a tall, handsome and wealthy Scotsman Bram McGregor, the older brother of her friend Linden. Bram understands a thing or two about pride, so when tragic circumstances place Nicola at rock bottom, he offers them a place to live in the apartment complex he owns. It’s pretty much the perfect deal, so as long as she doesn’t mind living beside Bram, a man that, despite his generosity, seems to antagonize her at every turn.
But nothing in life is free and as Nicola gets her feet back on the ground, she discovers that the enigmatic playboy may end up costing her more than she thought.She might just lose her heart.

Sinopsis:
I’d like to tell you that I’m ok.
That the meaningless sex with countless women has somehow numbed the pain. That it’s deciphered the constant confusion in my head. Eased the self-hatred that sinks into my gut every time I look in the mirror.
I’d like to tell you that time heals all wounds.
That we evolve and grow into well-adjusted, stable adults, set on a path to right the world’s wrongs. That we are not our past…we are not our pain.
I want to tell you all those things. Hell, I want to believe all those things. But I’d be lying. I’m good at that. Living a lie is the only way I truly know how to survive.
But the day I saw her, I stopped surviving. I stopped existing. And for the first time in 24 years, I started living.
She brought me back to life. Set me free and sent my soul soaring. Made this useless shell of a man feel like…something. Something whole and real and good.
She saved me.
Although she believes I wasn’t even worth saving.

Sinopsis:
I’m soaring.
After years of hard work and determination, I am exactly where I want to be in life. As the top ranked Freestyle Motocross rider in the world, I have more money than I could ever dream of spending and gorgeous women throwing themselves at me in every city I land. I have everything I could ever want.
Everything except her.
While in Breckenridge for my best friend’s wedding, I was introduced to Dakota Shavell, a friend of the bride-to-be, and from the moment our blue gazes met, sparks flew.
What I initially intended to be a single steamy night together turned into a scorching two week road trip to New Orleans with a sassy-mouthed blonde. Being between her legs gave me a bigger adrenaline rush than I’d ever gotten from flying through the air while straddling a bike.
It was supposed to just be fun, a good time. I planned to walk away unchanged.
But it was more. Feelings I never intended to have got involved, and I’ll never be the same.
Yet, I still walked away.
Except now I’m injured and my outlook has changed. Priorities have become clear.
And I’m going back to reclaim her…to show her that together we can make the fire between us burst into flames.

Perdón por toda la cosa en inglés en esta entrada, francamente no le dediqué mucho tiempo y es muy vieja y atrasada. De todas formas, estoy anotando los libros que espero (son muchos), y voy a intentar subir los más importantes para mí el miércoles.
Además, estoy intentando diseñar algo así como una pequeña revista online, o si no unas imágenes de páginas de un diario a las que les pueda agregar los textos y paratextos editándola. Pondría varias páginas, pero supongo que quedaría. Si lo logro, va a aparecer un pequeño artículo con una imagen y un enlace al Waiting on Wednesday, pero también habría una sección con todas las portadas que me enteré se revelaron y me llamaron la atención. Peeeero, primero necesito averiguar como diseñar ese maldito diario/revista.
Como si fuera poco, no consigo editar el html desde esta compu para cambiar la imagen en la parte de arriba del blog, la computadora se clava cuando lo intento.
Voy a seguir trabajando en esto, dentro de poco me voy con mi papá. Así que, subo la segunda parte de Never, never, miro otro capítulo de OUAT (la volví a empezar... Desde el cap 4 de la segunda temporada. ¿Les suena el número? ¿Primera aparición de Hook? Yeah), y a dormir que mañana tengo la evaluación más difícil del trimestre y solo 3 minutos para rendirla (oral, o sea: no machetes allowed. Maldita sea).
¡Deséenme suerte!

Vane Weston, de diecisiete, no tiene idea de cómo sobrevivió al tornado de categoría cinco que mató a sus padres. Y no tiene idea de si la hermosa chica de cabello oscuro que se ha deslizado a través de sus sueños todas las noches desde la tormenta es real. Espera que lo sea.
De diecisiete años, Audra es una sylph, un elemental de aire. Puede caminar por el viento, traducir sus atractivas canciones e incluso convertirlo en un arma con una simple cadena de comandos. Ella también es un guardián —el guardián de Vane— y ha hecho un juramento para proteger a Vane a toda costa. Incluso si eso significa sacrificar su propia vida.
Cuando un precipitado error revela su ubicación al enemigo que asesinó a sus dos familias, Audra es forzada a ayudar a Vane a recordar quién es. Él tiene un poder que reclamar —el lenguaje secreto del Viento del Oeste, que sólo él puede entender. Pero liberar su herencia también desbloqueará el recuerdo que Audra necesita que olvide. Y su mayor peligro no son los guerreros que vienen a destruirlo, sino el romance prohibido que está creciendo entre ellos.

Chapter One
The black Land Rovers roared down dark London streets. Stopping for nothing and nobody, they hurtled across the crowded metropolis, thundering through red lights, tearing over intersections.
Alone in the back seat of one of them, Allie Sheridan stared out the window without seeing anything. Her eyes were red and sore from crying.
She couldn’t stop remembering Carter alone in the dark street, fists raised. Nathaniel’s guards swarming.
He got away, she assured herself for the thousandth time. Somehow. He got away.
But in her heart she knew it wasn’t true.
It all made sense now. Jerry Cole told her to take someone she trusted to the parley. And now she knew why.
Take someone you trust so Nathaniel can take him away from you.
Take someone you trust so Nathaniel can kill him. Like he killed Jo.
Tugging hopelessly at the unyielding door handle, she stifled a sob. She couldn’t get out. Couldn’t go back to him. The doors were locked through a central system.
This car was a prison.
She’d tried fighting, begging, weeping… the men in the front seats were unmoved. They were under orders to bring her back to Cimmeria. And that’s what they were going to do.
Frustration raged inside her. She struck the door hard with her fist.
The vehicle careened around a corner with a screech of tyres, throwing her to one side.
As she scrabbled for the safety handle, the guard in the front passenger seat turned to look at her.
‘Put your seatbelt on, miss. This is dangerous.’
She glared at him balefully.
I watched my own grandmother die five hours ago, she thought of saying. And you’re telling me this is dangerous?
At the thought of Lucinda, everything that had happened that night seemed to hit her at once. The sour taste of bile filled her mouth. She lunged instinctively for the window, but that was locked, too.
‘I’m going to be sick,’ she muttered.
The guard said something to the driver. The window rolled down with a smooth, mechanical whirr.
Cool air flowed in.
Allie stuck her head out of the car, inhaling deeply. Her hair flew around her face in a tangled cloud.
Now that it was OK to vomit, though, she couldn’t seem to. Still, she stayed where she was, resting her clammy forehead on the cool metal of the window frame and taking deep, steadying breaths.
The air had that city smell of exhaust and concrete. Vaguely, she considered climbing out and jumping to freedom, but they were moving too fast for her to be certain she’d survive.
She was so tired. Her whole body ached. Her scalp burned where one of Nathaniel’s goons had pulled out a clump of hair. Blood had coagulated on her face and neck, tightening her skin unpleasantly.
In her mind she went through the evening’s catastrophic events step by step.
The plan had been simple. Meet Nathaniel for a peaceful parley on the neutral ground of Hampstead Heath. Hand over his spy, Jerry Cole. In exchange, Nathaniel would back off long enough for the Cimmeria leaders to regroup.
But then Jerry had a gun. And the night had spun out into an awful chaotic maelstrom of violence. In the midst of it, Lucinda collapsed, blood pouring from a gunshot wound.
And Nathaniel.
Allie shook her head, still puzzled by what she’d seen.
Nathaniel had been in tears. Trying desperately to save her grandmother.
Until that moment she’d thought he hated Lucinda. But she’d never seen anyone more heartbroken.
She could still hear his tormented voice in her head, pleading with her grandmother. ‘Don’t leave me, Lucinda…’
Almost like he loved her.
But she had left him. She’d left all of them.
Now, all Allie knew was that she didn’t understand Nathaniel at all.
If he didn’t hate Lucinda, why was he fighting her in the first place?
What does he really want?
Letting go of the door, Allie leaned back against the tan leather seat. The guard in the front passenger seat turned to look at her.
‘Better now?’
She levelled a silent glare at him.
After a second, he shrugged and turned back around.
Next to her, the window closed.
They gained speed as they pulled on to a motorway, desolate at this hour. They were nearing the city limits. Behind them London was a canopy of light. Ahead, the English countryside lay shrouded in darkness.
Allie’s chest tightened around her heart. She was so far from Carter now. God knew what was happening to him.
A tear traced a line down her cheek; she reached up to brush it away. Her hand never reached her face.
A bone-jarring jolt threw her off balance. Before she could react, the vehicle swerved wildly, hurling her across the back seat. She slammed into the window with such force she saw stars.
She never had put that seatbelt on.
‘What’s going on?’ Her voice sounded far away; her head rang from the blow.
No one replied.
Pulling herself up, Allie saw the driver wrestling with the steering wheel. The guard was talking into a microphone, his voice low but tense.
She looked around to try and see what had happened but all she could see was darkness and headlights.
The driver swore and spun the wheel. ‘Goddammit. Where are they coming from?’
Allie was clinging to the door handle, but the sheer force of the turn threw her against the door so hard her breath hissed through her teeth from the pain.
‘What is going on?’ she demanded again, louder this time.
Without waiting for an answer, she reached over her shoulder for the seatbelt and strapped herself in, latching it with a metallic click.
Then she turned to look out the back window. What she saw made her breath catch in her throat. There weren’t four vehicles anymore.
There were ten.
‘Are those ours?’ she asked, her voice faint.
No one replied to that question, either. But they didn’t have to. She knew the answer already.
A large, tank-like vehicle swung up next to them, revving its engine. Suddenly the Land Rover seemed small.
Allie stared at the monstrous thing, her heart contracting. Its windows were tinted – she couldn’t see who was inside.
Without warning it gunned the engine and swerved sharply towards them.
‘Look out!’ she cried, ducking low.
The driver yanked the wheel. The Land Rover swung right, so sharply Allie’s stomach dropped.
They dodged the collision but the car wobbled wildly and the driver struggled to keep control. He clung to the wheel, muscles bulging from the effort as the tyres squealed and they swung across two lanes.
‘Six to seven vehicles, affirmative,’ the guard in the passenger seat said into his microphone. He was clutching the safety handle above his door to try and hold himself steady as another massive machine swung towards them with an angry roar.
‘Convoy disrupted and separated. Other vehicles using diversionary tactics… Look to your left!’
He shouted the last words at the driver, who saw the car heading straight towards them at the last minute and wrenched the wheel hard. Too hard.
The Land Rover spun sickeningly. Allie couldn’t feel the road beneath their tyres anymore. They seemed to be flying.
The scene took on a dream-like feel. The world outside blurred. They swirled in a deadly dance towards the flimsy guardrail.
Allie closed her eyes.
Nathaniel had found them.
