Wrap Up: Febrero y Marzo 2021

¡Muy buenas tardes a todos! Como en marzo no hice el Wrap Up de febrero porque solamente leí dos libros, decidí unir esa entrada a la del Wrap Up de marzo, mes en el que también leí dos libros jajaja. Aunque estos dos últimos meses no haya leído tanto, no estoy descontenta con la cantidad de lecturas realizadas en lo que llevamos de año. Además, me voy a permitir hacer el pequeño spoiler de que, a día de hoy, ya llevo unas cuantas de cosillas leídas en abril...

En cuanto a las lecturas que veréis aquí, puedo afirmar que mi favorita entre ellas fue A Court of Silver Flames, la continuación de la saga A Court of Thorns and Roses (o Una Corte de Rosas y Espinas en español) de Sarah J. Maas. Con esta autora tan popular tengo una relación de amor-odio (por llamarlo de alguna manera), pero no tenía ninguna duda de que quería seguir con esta saga (*tos*no como con Throne of Glass*tos*la mayor decepción de mi vida*tos*) y ahora espero con muchas ganas que el siguiente libro sea sobre Azriel y cierto personaje nuevo que aparece aquí.

Por último, quiero decir que considero que ninguna de estas lecturas ha sido mala, y que Six of Crows lo leí en preparación para la serie de Shadow & Bone que sale este 23 de abril, adaptación que tengo bastantes ganas de ver. Ahora sí, ¡os dejo con esos cuatro libros y sus puntuaciones correspondientes!



You'd Be Mine de Erin Hahn: 3/5
The Darkest Part of the Forest de Holly Black: 4/5
Six of Crows (Six of Crows #1) de Leigh Bardugo: 4/5

Novedades: Abril 2021

¡Hola a todo el mundo! La entrada de hoy va sobre las publicaciones de este mes de abril, que parece estar cargado de llamativas novedades:


42952728Título: Blessed Monsters (Something Dark and Holy #3)
Autora: Emily A. Duncan
Fecha de publicación: 6 de Abril de 2021
Sinopsis: The startling conclusion to the instant New York Times bestselling Something Dark and Holy trilogy

The girl, the monster, the prince, the queen.

They broke the world.

And some things can never be undone.

In Emily A. Duncan’s Blessed Monsters, they must unite once more to fight the dark chaos they've unleashed—but is it already too late?

42952728Título: To Love and to Loathe (The Regency Vows #2)
Autora: Martha Waters
Fecha de publicación: 6 de Abril de 2021
Sinopsis: The widowed Diana, Lady Templeton and Jeremy, Marquess of Willingham are infamous among English high society as much for their sharp-tongued bickering as their flirtation. One evening, an argument at a ball turns into a serious wager: Jeremy will marry within the year or Diana will forfeit one hundred pounds. So shortly after, just before a fortnight-long house party at Elderwild, Jeremy’s country estate, Diana is shocked when Jeremy appears at her home with a very different kind of proposition.

After his latest mistress unfavorably criticized his skills in the bedroom, Jeremy is looking for reassurance, so he has gone to the only woman he trusts to be totally truthful. He suggests that they embark on a brief affair while at the house party—Jeremy can receive an honest critique of his bedroom skills and widowed Diana can use the gossip to signal to other gentlemen that she is interested in taking a lover.

Diana thinks taking him up on his counter-proposal can only help her win her wager. With her in the bedroom and Jeremy’s marriage-minded grandmother, the formidable Dowager Marchioness of Willingham, helping to find suitable matches among the eligible ladies at Elderwild, Diana is confident her victory is assured. But while they’re focused on winning wagers, they stand to lose their own hearts.

With Martha Waters’s signature “cheeky charm and wonderfully wry wit” (Booklist, starred review), To Love and to Loathe is another clever and delightful historical rom-com that is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Evie Dunmore.

42952728Título: Twice Shy
Autora: Sarah Hogle
Fecha de publicación: 6 de Abril de 2021
Sinopsis: Can you find real love when you've always got your head in the clouds?

Maybell Parish has always been a dreamer and a hopeless romantic. But living in her own world has long been preferable to dealing with the disappointments of real life. So when Maybell inherits a charming house in the Smokies from her Great-Aunt Violet, she seizes the opportunity to make a fresh start.

Yet when she arrives, it seems her troubles have only just begun. Not only is the house falling apart around her, but she isn't the only inheritor: she has to share everything with Wesley Koehler, the groundskeeper who's as grouchy as he is gorgeous—and it turns out he has very different vision for the property's future.

Convincing the taciturn Wesley to stop avoiding her and compromise is a task more formidable than the other dying wishes Great-Aunt Violet left behind. But when Maybell uncovers something unexpectedly sweet beneath Wesley's scowls, and as the two slowly begin to let their guard down, they might learn that sometimes the smallest steps outside one's comfort zone can lead to the greatest rewards.

42952728Título: Second First Impressions
Autora: Sally Thorne
Fecha de publicación: 13 de Abril de 2021
Sinopsis: Distraction (n): an extreme agitation of the mind or emotions.

Ruthie Midona has worked the front desk at the Providence Luxury Retirement Villa for six years, dedicating her entire adult life to caring for the Villa’s residents, maintaining the property (with an assist from DIY YouTube tutorials), and guarding the endangered tortoises that live in the Villa’s gardens. Somewhere along the way, she’s forgotten that she’s young and beautiful, and that there’s a world outside of work—until she meets the son of the property developer who just acquired the retirement center.

Teddy Prescott has spent the last few years partying, sleeping in late, tattooing himself when bored, and generally not taking life too seriously—something his father, who dreams of grooming Teddy into his successor, can’t understand. When Teddy needs a place to crash, his father seizes the chance to get him to grow up. He’ll let Teddy stay in one of the on-site cottages at the retirement home, but only if he works to earn his keep. Teddy agrees—he can change a few lightbulbs and clip some hedges, no sweat. But Ruthie has plans for Teddy too.

Her two wealthiest and most eccentric residents have just placed an ad (yet another!) seeking a new personal assistant to torment. The women are ninety-year-old, four-foot-tall menaces, and not one of their assistants has lasted a full week. Offering up Teddy seems like a surefire way to get rid of the tall, handsome, unnerving man who won’t stop getting under her skin.

Ruthie doesn’t count on the fact that in Teddy Prescott, the Biddies may have finally met their match. He’ll pick up Chanel gowns from the dry cleaner and cut Big Macs into bite-sized bits. He’ll do repairs around the property, make the residents laugh, and charm the entire villa. He might even remind Ruthie what it’s like to be young and fun again. But when she finds out Teddy’s father’s only fixing up the retirement home to sell it, putting everything she cares about in jeopardy, she’s left wondering if Teddy’s magic was all just a façade.

From the USA Today  bestselling author of The Hating Game and 99 Percent Mine comes the clever, funny, and unforgettable story of a muscular, tattooed man hired as an assistant to two old women—under the watchful eye of a beautiful retirement home manager.

42952728Título: Southern Sun, Northern Sar (Glass Alliance #3)
Autora: Joanna Hathaway
Fecha de publicación: 20 de Abril de 2021
Sinopsis: Battles, revolution, and romance collide in Joanna Hathaway's stunning, World Wars-inspired Southern Sun, Northern Star

Reeling from the tragedy that beset her family, Princess Aurelia has joined the resistance in Havenspur, spying on the Northern leaders who were once her allies and determined to stop her uncle's machinations for war. Meanwhile, her beloved pilot Athan leads his squadron into battle as the Safire wage a losing war abroad and combat growing unrest back home.

When Athan is sent on leave to Havenspur following the death of a comrade, the pair reunite and rekindle their romance until Aurelia uncovers one of Athan's secrets, a secret that could save countless lives. But exposing it to the right people will cost her Athan's trust, and this time, their shared memories of love might not be enough to stop the fateful path of destruction that threatens all they've fought to defend.

As history unfolds around them, every move they make drives them one step closer to either recreating their parents' shadowed past or redeeming the alliance that could bring peace.

The breathtaking finale to a legendary series. Part war drama, part romance, Southern Sun, Northern Star is the epic conclusion to the Glass Alliance series.
