¡Por fin publico mi primera entrada literaria! (bieeeeeen)
Nos os podéis imaginar la ilusión que me está haciendo escribir estas palabrillas. He rescatado esta fotografía de mi Facebook personal, que como comenté en mi entrada inaugural (la anterior a esta), se estaba convirtiendo en un blog literario incontrolable.
En la fotografía se ven los que fueron mis libros favoritos de 2012 y 2013. Aquí debajo añado la información sobre cada uno de ellos y la sinopsis. Por el momento no se si escribiré una reseña de los dos (lo haría con mucho gusto), así que debo plantearme si me limitaré a escribir reseñas sobre los libros que lea de ahora en adelante o si hacer pequeños "flashbacks" de vez en cuando. Seguramente haré lo segundo. ¡Ah! y si a alguien le interesa que traduzca las sinopsis que estén en otra lengua que no sea el castellano lo haré encantada, para algo estoy formada en traducción.

SINOPSIS:
A mysterious island.
An abandoned orphanage.
And a strange collection of
very curious photographs.
It all waits to be discovered in Miss
Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that
mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our
story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob
journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers
the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As
Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear
that Miss Peregrine's children were more than just peculiar. They may have been
dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a desolate island for good
reason. And somehow - impossible though it seems - they may still be
alive.
A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage
photography, "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" will delight
adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.
LIBRO FAVORITO DE 2013

SINOPSIS:
Welcome to the World of HAPPY CHAOS
We all remember Soleil Moon Frye as the spunky main character on the 1980s hit series Punky Brewster, but today, she is a social media maven and momtrepreneur with two little girls who often finds living in the chaotic world of raising children. But Soleil believes that chaos is not a bad thing...in fact, this is the sign of a family operating at its best, because when you can accept that as a parent you'll make mistakes and there will be messes and mishaps, tears and tantrums, you and your kids will be happy.
Full of stories and ideas about appreciating a jumbled kind of life while making the most of every moment with your children, Happy Chaos is Soleil's gift to her fellow parents. Raised by her free-spirited mother in the outskirts of Hollywood and experiencing fame at the age of eight, Soleil's childhood was populated by well-known figures like Michael Jackson (who once babysat her), Johnny Depp (her crush when she was twelve who surprised her at her birthday party), and Muhammad Ali (upon whose white tuxedo a young Soleil spilled an entire soda) and was anything but conventional. Using lessons from her own unique upbringing in the way that she raises her girls, Soleil gives us a look into how she is a mom, and why millions of parents all over the world now look to her as a go-to resource for a little dose of in-the-trenches reality, relief, and fun. Part memoir, part manual, and all Soleil, Happy Chaos is the book that every modern mom (and dad) will relate to.
