Anche questa rubrica era prevista ieri, ma me ne occupo oggi:)
"Reading Books"!
Tra i libri che vorrei veder pubblicati in Italia, ce n'è uno che ultimamente mi sta davvero dando il tormento. Probabilmente non verrà mai pubblicato qui da noi, ma io, al solito, non smetto di sperarci.
Ho creato questa rubrica apposta, per dar spazio a quelle piccole scoperte fatte da me (o anche da altri blogger), augurandomi vengano notate da qualche casa editrice italiana, decisa a dar loro una possibilità.
Eccolo qui il romanzo di oggi:
Trama
(da Goodreads)
An alien princess exiled to Earth.
An arrogant boy.
One week to get back to her planet or she'll die.
And, her only chance for survival? She must help the boy find his soul mate.
Piece of cake!
Stubborn, sixteen-year-old Princess Venus of Kelari wants one thing, to become immortal, that is, until someone exiles her to Earth, kills her irrihunter and takes her family.
Now she wants revenge.
First she’s got to get home. But before she can return to Kelari, the Gods have commanded her to help an arrogant boy named Michael find his soul mate.
Only she doesn't know the first thing about love.
Rather quickly, her inexperience with human emotion is obscured by other matters--alien-controlled psychotic teens that are out to kill her, and a government group that is set on capturing and dissecting her.
Worst of all, Venus will suffer a painful death-by-poisoning, thanks to Earth’s atmosphere, if she remains on the planet longer than one week.
Still, Venus is a Princess and she's got a plan. Surely, with her help, Michael will fall in love with a human.
But time is running out and Michael is falling for the wrong girl--her

Sto provando a leggerlo in inglese (ho acquistato il kindle gratuito su Amazon qualche tempo fa), ma naturalmente sarebbe diverso se potessi leggerlo nella mia lingua:)
La trama mi ha molto incuriosita: un romanzo sci-fi di genere young adult, una storia fuori dai soliti canoni, con protagonista una principessa aliena proveniente da un pianeta chiamato Kelari e un ragazzo umano con un carattere davvero odioso. Saranno scintille!
La cover poi... vogliamo parlarne? E' bellissimaaaaaa! Non a caso, quella del terzo libro della serie l'ho scelta per la rubrica "Le più belle cover" di questa settimana (è la 5a!).
Allora, a voi non incuriosisce neanche un po' questo romanzo?
Non amo le atmosfere fantascientifiche, ma la trama di questo romanzo mi sembra davvero interessante.
