Wrap Up: Noviembre 2021

¡Saludos para todo el mundo! Hoy vengo con el resumen de lecturas del mes de noviembre. Este mes conseguí leer un total de diez libros, cantidad con la que estoy bastante satisfecha. Mi libro favorito del mes fue Once More Upon a Time de Roshani Chokshi, un mágico cuento de hadas donde un príncipe y una princesa que antes se amaban se ven obligados a realizar una misión y pasar tiempo juntos. Por otro lado, la mayor decepción fue #famous de Jilly Gagnon, una comedia romántica juvenil, y eso que tampoco esperaba que me fuese a encantar...



Good Neighbors de Stephanie Burgis: 3/5
Once More Upon a Time de Roshani Chokshi: 5/5
Posdata: Te odio de Ella Valentine: 3/5
The Fill-In Boyfriend de Kasie West: 3/5
I Believe in a Thing Called Love de Maurene Goo: 3/5

Novedades: Diciembre 2021

¡Hola a todo el mundo! La entrada de hoy va dedicada a las novedades literarias del mes de diciembre, el último mes del año y, por tanto, también las últimas novedades. Al igual que en noviembre, esta vez solo hay dos novedades que me llaman la atención y ambas son continuaciones de sagas.


42952728Título: The Righteous (The Beautiful #3)
Autora: Renée Ahdieh
Fecha de publicación: 7 de Diciembre de 2021
Sinopsis: The third book in the instant New York Times bestselling series that began with The Beautiful.

Pippa Montrose is tired of losing everything she loves. When her best friend Celine disappears under mysterious circumstances, Pippa resolves to find her, even if the journey takes her into the dangerous world of the fae, where she might find more than she bargained for in the charismatic Arjun Desai.

Renée is back with her rich, atmospheric fantasy world that will continue to enthrall readers, new romance and mystery, and lush, pacey writing.

42952728Título: Beautiful Nightmares (Fortuna Sworn #4)
Autora: K.J. Sutton
Fecha de publicación: 7 de Diciembre de 2021
Sinopsis: In the space of a single day, everything Fortuna thought she knew was exposed as lies and illusion. Alliances have shifted and roles are forever changed.

And she now finds herself a prisoner in the Seelie Court.

It is here that Fortuna learns the board for this game is even bigger than she believed. New players emerge from the shadows and the stakes are higher than ever before. There’s no time for pain or healing—just survival.

At least, that’s what Fortuna thinks. Then the game leads her to an opponent who doesn't fight with magic or swords. An opponent that not even she can beat.

It turns out she didn’t know the meaning of fear... until now.

TRIGGER WARNING: This novel contains scenes or themes of torture, slavery, and PTSD.

Wrap Up: Octubre 2021

¡Buenas tardes a todos! La entrada del día de hoy trata sobre todos los libros que leí en el mes de octubre. A diferencia de los tres meses anteriores, este mes sí he leído una buena cantidad de libros, y es que leer doce libros en este mes cuando en septiembre no leí nada ¡alegra a cualquiera! Como creo que comenté en una entrada anterior, me mudé en septiembre, así que puede ser que ya esté todo más relajado y me haya acostumbrado a mi "nueva vida" y, por eso, ya estoy volviendo a un ritmo de lectura más normal.

Mi favorito, sin duda alguna, fue The Cruel Prince, la primera entrega de la saga The Folk of the Air de Holly Black que me muero por continuar. También leí bastantes libros a través de Kindle Unlimited, la aplicación de Amazon, y el libro que menos me gustó fue uno de ellos, Christmas Wish de Danielle Jamie. Dicho esto, os dejo con todos los libros que leí en octubre.




Venus and Adonis de William Shakespeare
My Dirty Duke de Joanna Shupe: 3/5
Christmas Wish de Danielle Jamie: 2/5

The Trouble with Love de Claire Contreras: 3/5

¡Hola a todos! Hoy vengo con las penúltimas novedades literarias del año, las de noviembre. La verdad es que son muy poquitas, solamente dos, y adelanto que lo mismo volverá a pasar con las novedades del mes de diciembre. Bueno, ¡así ahorramos!

Fecha de publicación: 9 de Noviembre de 2021
Sinopsis: They came to earth--Pestilence, War, Famine, Death--four horsemen riding their screaming steeds, racing to the corners of the world. Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity. They came to earth, and they came to end us all.

He’s known by many names: Thanatos. Horseman. God’s last angel. And then, of course, there's the one I’m all too familiar with—

Death.


The day Death comes to Lazarus Gaumond’s town and kills everyone in one fell swoop, the last thing he expects to see is a woman left alive and standing. But Lazarus has her own extraordinary gift: she cannot be killed—not by humans, not by the elements, not by Death himself.

She is the one soul Death doesn’t recognize. The one soul he cannot pry free from her flesh. Nor can he ignore the unsettling desire he has for her. Take her. He wants to, desperately. And the longer she tries to stop him from his killing spree, the stronger the desire becomes.

When Lazarus crosses paths with the three other horsemen, an unthinkable situation leads to a terrible deal: seduce Death, save the world. A hopeless task, made all the worse by the bad blood between her and Thanatos. But Death’s attraction to her is undeniable, and try though she might, Lazarus cannot stay away from that ancient, beautiful being and his dark embrace.

The end is here. Humankind is set to perish, and not even the horsemen can stop Death from fulfilling his final task.

Only Lazarus can.

Single mother April Parker has lived in Willow Creek for twelve years with a wall around her heart. On the verge of being an empty nester, she's decided to move on from her quaint little town, and asks her friend Mitch for his help with some home improvement projects to get her house ready to sell.

Mitch Malone is known for being the life of every party, but mostly for the attire he wears to the local Renaissance Faire--a kilt (and not much else) that shows off his muscled form to perfection. While he agrees to help April, he needs a favor too: she'll pretend to be his girlfriend at an upcoming family dinner, so that he can avoid the lectures about settling down and having a more "serious" career than high school coach and gym teacher. April reluctantly agrees, but when dinner turns into a weekend trip, it becomes hard to tell what's real and what's been just for show. But when the weekend ends, so must their fake relationship.

As summer begins, Faire returns to Willow Creek, and April volunteers for the first time. When Mitch's family shows up unexpectedly, April pretends to be Mitch's girlfriend again...something that doesn't feel so fake anymore. Despite their obvious connection, April insists they've just been putting on an act. But when there's the chance for something real, she has to decide whether to change her plans--and open her heart--for the kilt-wearing hunk who might just be the love of her life.

With back-stabbing princes, luxurious palaces, mysterious party invitations, and conflicting clues about who really killed her twin, Emilia finds herself more alone than ever before.

Wrap Up: Julio, Agosto y Septiembre 2021

¡Buenas tardes, chicos! Como podéis ver, la entrada de hoy va sobre mis lecturas de los meses de julio, agosto y septiembre, aunque me gustaría decir que leí un montón en estos tres meses, la realidad es lo contrario... Tristemente, en julio solamente leí The Rose and the Dagger, la última parte de la saga The Wrath and the Dawn. En agosto no leí mucho más, solo la bilogía Fable. Y en septiembre... no leí nada de nada.

La verdad es que estoy un poco decepcionada conmigo misma, pero mi vida ha cambiado un poco en este último mes, así que tampoco quiero ser muy dura conmigo misma. Eso sí, ¡intentaré mejorar mi ritmo de lectura en lo que queda de año!



Fable (Fable #1) de Adrienne Young: 3'5/5
Namesake (Fable #2) de Adrienne Young: 3'5/5

Novedades: Septiembre 2021

¡Buenas tardes a todos! Hoy, con algo de retraso, traigo la entrada con las novedades de este mes de septiembre que más me interesan. Son nada más y nada menos que seis:


42952728Título: Portrait of a Scotsman (A League of Extraordinary Women #3)
Autora: Evie Dunmore
Fecha de publicación: 7 de Septiembre de 2021
Sinopsis: Going toe-to-toe with a brooding Scotsman is rather bold for a respectable suffragist, but when he happens to be one's unexpected husband, what else is an unwilling bride to do?

London banking heiress Hattie Greenfield wanted "just" three things in life:

1. Acclaim as an artist.
2. A noble cause.
3. Marriage to a young lord who puts the gentle in gentleman.

Why then does this Oxford scholar find herself at the altar with the darkly attractive financier Lucian Blackstone, whose murky past and ruthless business practices strike fear in the hearts of Britain's peerage? Trust Hattie to take an invigorating little adventure too far. Now she's stuck with a churlish Scot who just might be the end of her ambitions....

When the daughter of his business rival all but falls into his lap, Lucian sees opportunity. As a self-made man, he has vast wealth but holds little power, and Hattie might be the key to finally setting long-harbored political plans in motion. Driven by an old revenge, he has no room for his new wife's apprehensions or romantic notions, bewitching as he finds her.

But a sudden journey to Scotland paints everything in a different light. Hattie slowly sees the real Lucian and realizes she could win everything—as long as she is prepared to lose her heart.

42952728Título: Never Saw You Coming
Autora: Erin Hahn
Fecha de publicación: 7 de Septiembre de 2021
Sinopsis: Raised by conservative parents, 18-year-old Meg Hennessey just found out her entire childhood was a lie. Instead of taking a gap year before college to find herself, she ends up traveling north to meet what’s left of the family she never knew existed.

While there, she meets Micah Allen, a former pastor’s kid whose dad ended up in prison, leaving Micah with his own complicated relationship about the church. The clock is ticking on Pastor Allen’s probation hearing and Micah, now 19, feels the pressure to forgive - even when he can’t possibly forget.

As Meg and Micah grow closer, they are confronted with the heavy flutterings of first love and all the complications it brings. Together, they must navigate the sometimes-painful process of cutting ties with childhood beliefs as they build toward something truer and straight from the heart.

In Erin Hahn’s Never Saw You Coming, sometimes it takes a leap of faith to find yourself.

42952728Título: The Love Hypothesis
Autora: Ali Hazelwood
Fecha de publicación: 14 de Septiembre de 2021
Sinopsis: As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships--but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.

That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor--and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs.

Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

42952728Título: The Bronzed Beasts (The Gilded Wolves #3)
Autora: Roshani Chokshi
Fecha de publicación: 21 de Septiembre de 2021
Sinopsis: In love they breathed. In destiny they believed. In the end, will divinity be their demise?

After Séverin's seeming betrayal, the crew is fractured. Armed with only a handful of hints, Enrique, Laila, Hypnos and Zofia must find their way through the snarled, haunted waterways of Venice, Italy to locate Séverin.

Meanwhile, Séverin must balance the deranged whims of the Patriarch of the Fallen House and discover the location of a temple beneath a plague island where the Divine Lyre can be played and all that he desires will come to pass.

With only ten days until Laila expires, the crew will face plague pits and deadly masquerades, unearthly songs and the shining steps of a temple whose powers might offer divinity itself... but at a price they may not be willing to pay.

Returning to the dark and glamorous 19th century world of her New York Times instant bestseller, The Gilded Wolves, Roshani Chokshi dazzles us with the final riveting tale as full of mystery and danger as ever.

42952728Título: The Ex Hex (Ex Hex #1)
Autora: Erin Sterling
Fecha de publicación: 28 de Septiembre de 2021
Sinopsis: New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hawkins, writing as Erin Sterling, casts a spell with a spine-tingling romance full of wishes, witches, and hexes gone wrong.

Nine years ago, Vivienne Jones nursed her broken heart like any young witch would: vodka, weepy music, bubble baths…and a curse on the horrible boyfriend. Sure, Vivi knows she shouldn’t use her magic this way, but with only an “orchard hayride” scented candle on hand, she isn’t worried it will cause him anything more than a bad hair day or two.

That is until Rhys Penhallow, descendent of the town’s ancestors, breaker of hearts, and annoyingly just as gorgeous as he always was, returns to Graves Glen, Georgia. What should be a quick trip to recharge the town’s ley lines and make an appearance at the annual fall festival turns disastrously wrong. With one calamity after another striking Rhys, Vivi realizes her silly little Ex Hex may not have been so harmless after all.

Suddenly, Graves Glen is under attack from murderous wind-up toys, a pissed off ghost, and a talking cat with some interesting things to say. Vivi and Rhys have to ignore their off the charts chemistry to work together to save the town and find a way to break the break-up curse before it’s too late.

Novedades: Agosto 2021

¡Hola a todos! Comienza agosto y con el nuevo mes vienen nuevas novedades literarias. Esta vez, tres nuevos lanzamientos han conseguido llamar mi atención.

42952728Título: The Dating Playbook (The Boyfriend Project #2)
Autora: Farrah Rochon
Fecha de publicación: 17 de Agosto de 2021
Sinopsis: When a personal trainer agrees to fake date her client, all rules are out the window in this delightful romantic comedy from the USA Today bestselling author of The Boyfriend Project!

When it comes to personal training, Taylor Powell kicks serious butt. Unfortunately, her bills are piling up, rent is due, and the money situation is dire. Taylor needs more than the support of her new best friends, Samiah and London. She needs a miracle.

And Jamar Dixon might just be it. The oh-so-fine former footballer wants back into the NFL, and he wants Taylor to train him. There's just one catch -- no one can know what they're doing. But when they're accidentally outed as a couple, Taylor's game plan is turned completely upside down. Is Jamar just playing to win . . . or is he playing for keeps?

42952728Título: A Dance with the Fae Prince (Married to Magic #2)
Autora: Elise Kova
Fecha de publicación: 19 de Agosto de 2021
Sinopsis: Cinderella meets The Cruel Prince in this stand-alone fantasy romance about a human girl and her marriage to the prince of the fae.

She knew her hand in marriage would be sold. She had no idea a fae prince was the buyer.

Katria swore she'd never fall in love. She's seen what "love" means through the cruelty of her family. So when she's married off to the mysterious Lord Fenwood for a handsome price, all Katria wants is a better life than the one she's leaving. Feelings are off the table.

But her new husband makes not falling in love difficult.

As their attraction begins to grow, so too do the oddities within her new life: strange rules, screams in the night, and attacks by fae that Katria never thought were real. When she witnesses a ritual not meant for human eyes, Katria finds herself spirited away to the land of Midscape.

Surviving the fae wilds as a human is hard enough. Katria must survive as a human who accidently pilfered the magic of ancient kings - magic a bloodthirsty king is ready to kill her for in order to keep his stolen throne - and her new husband is the rightful heir in hiding.

The power to save the fae is in her hands. But who will save her from a love she vowed never to feel?

A Dance with the Fae Prince is a complete, *stand-alone novel*, inspired by the tales of Psyche and Eros, as well as Cinderella, with a "happily ever after" ending. It's perfect for romantic fantasy readers who enjoyed of A Court of Silver Flames and An Enchantment of Ravens. A Dance with the Fae Prince features a slow-burn romance, swoon-worthy couple, and steaminess that ranges from simmering to sizzling.

42952728Título: A Rake Like You (Linfield Hall #2)
Autora: Becky Michaels
Fecha de publicación: 31 de Agosto de 2021
Sinopsis: About to turn thirty, Charles Finch finally realizes his luck has run out. He’s twenty thousand pounds in debt, his entire family hates him, and the powerful Duke of Rutley is watching his every move. So Charles sets out to do what any handsome but impoverished earl would: find a young lady with an impressive dowry to marry him and replenish his coffers.

Louisa Strickland much prefers managing the successful estate her father left her to the company of society. But now that her younger sister has come of age, Louisa finds herself in Mayfair, forced to protect her family from desperate fortune hunters like her neighbor, Charles Finch. And when Charles sets his sights on Louisa’s sister, Louisa will do anything to avert his attention elsewhere.

As Charles and Louisa find themselves rekindling an old friendship that once went up in flames, Charles begins to wonder if there could be something more between them. He only needs to prove he’s not the man he once was. But unfortunately for Charles, it will take much more than passionate kisses and giving up brandy to convince independent Louisa to marry a rake like him.
