Rubrica - Reading Books #4

Buonasera  a tutti!

Dopo un paio di giorni di assenza, rieccomi qui. Certo, questa non è una gran bella giornata x me ma, d'altronde, non posso neanche passarla deprimendomi. Meglio distrarsi e non pensare agli amici che si trasferiscono e ti abbandonano...:(

Se non sbaglio oggi è il giorno della lettura straniera adocchiata;) Bene, ne ho più di una in mente da presentarvi.

Il primo libro ad avermi colpita è stato questo:

"The Hunt" di Andrew Fukuda, che verrà pubblicato l'8 maggio. Siamo sui generi young adult, paranormal, distopico (un genere che mi fa proprio impazzire). Mi ricorda molto "Hunger Games", ma quale distopico ora come ora non lo ricorda?

Trama

Don’t Sweat. Don’t Laugh. Don’t draw attention to yourself. And most of all, whatever you do, do not fall in love with one of them.

Gene is different from everyone else around him. He can’t run with lightning speed, sunlight doesn’t hurt him and he doesn’t have an unquenchable lust for blood. Gene is a human, and he knows the rules. Keep the truth a secret. It’s the only way to stay alive in a world of night—a world where humans are considered a delicacy and hunted for their blood.
When he’s chosen for a once in a lifetime opportunity to hunt the last remaining humans, Gene’s carefully constructed life begins to crumble around him. He’s thrust into the path of a girl who makes him feel things he never thought possible—and into a ruthless pack of hunters whose suspicions about his true nature are growing. Now that Gene has finally found something worth fighting for, his need to survive is stronger than ever—but is it worth the cost of his humanity?

E guardatevi anche il trailer e poi ditemi se non vi ispira...

Il secondo libro che vorrei leggere è "Abandon" di Meg Cabot (autrice di "Insatiable"), alle prese con questa nuova trilogia e l'antico mito di Ade e Persefone.

Guardate, tra l'altro, che belle cover*_*

A giorni dovrebbe uscire il secondo libro della serie, "Underworld".

Trama

Though she tries returning to the life she knew before the accident, Pierce can't help but feel at once a part of this world, and apart from it. Yet she's never alone . . . because someone is always watching her. Escape from the realm of the dead is impossible when someone there wants you back.

But now she's moved to a new town. Maybe at her new school, she can start fresh. Maybe she can stop feeling so afraid.

Only she can't. Because even here, he finds her. That's how desperately he wants her back. She knows he's no guardian angel, and his dark world isn't exactly heaven, yet she can't stay away . . . especially since he always appears when she least expects it, but exactly when she needs him most.

But if she lets herself fall any further, she may just find herself back in the one place she most fears: the Underworld.

Terzo e ultimo libro, per la serie "vi prego editori italiani, pubblicateli! sono disperata!" è "The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer" di Michelle Hodkin che, fortuna vuole, sia stato preso in considerazione da una casa editrice italiana e verrà pubblicato anche da noi. Evvivaaa!!!:)))

Mistero e paranormale in questo young adult davvero accattivante.

Trama

Mara Dyer doesn't think life can get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there.

It can.

She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her mysteriously unharmed.

There is.

She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love.

She's wrong.

L'uscita del secondo volume è prevista per ottobre, "The evolution of Mara Dyer".

Allora, quale libro vorreste leggere voi?
