Si soy honesta, no sabía que era una adaptación de Orgullo y Prejuicio hasta que ya había leído parte del libro. De algun modo, la trama me sonaba, y cuando avance más me di cuenta de porque. Y para ser una adaptación, me gusto bastante. Me pareció original la forma que tuvo la autora para presen...
After reading two heavy, depressing books in a row, I decided I needed something light and fluffy. The Smart One and the Pretty One was just the ticket. A predictable story about two sisters ("smart" and "pretty"), this book promises to be nothing more than a pass-the-time book. And that's fine! ...
Nicht so einfach mit der Liebe ist das erste Buch der Contemporary Autorin Claire LaZebnik, das ich gelesen habe. Ich kann den Übersetzungen des cbj/cbt Verlags einfach schwer widerstehen. Das Buch ist einfach wieder eines dieser typischen Sommerbücher. WIEDER und TYPISCH benutze ich im Zusammenh...
A pesar de que está basado en Lizzy y Darcy (de mis personajes favoritos del universo Austen) no me gustó el libro.Sentí todo forzado, pasó muy rápido y los personajes los sentí muy superficiales. No conecté con nada.Había pensado darle una estrella pero al final los últimos capitulos fueron más ...
It's hard to like a main character who is a single mom, 25 years old, lives with her well-off parents who pay for everything - including her son's 20k tuition to a private elementary school - and acts like a complete brat. It's hard, but stick with this book anyways. The plot really isn't solid i...
This was an unexpected pleasure. I picked it up in the library looking for some fluff, and though it was light=-hearted, it was more than that. In lots of ways it reminded me of one of my favourite authors, Ann Tyler. Not quite so well-written (but then hardly anyone writes prose like Tyler does)...
When you're in your late twenties and nothing in your life seems to be falling into place, knitting is an awfully seductive way to spend your free time. After all, as long as you're following the instructions, you can knit row after row with the knowledge that the pattern will emerge and you'll e...
It’s dark green and tight across the bodice, with a narrow waist and full skirt—very 1950s. I found it at a thrift store. I don’t think it’s actually vintage—I think it was designed to be retro—but it’s still pretty nice. I want to pair it with my sexy spike heels—the only good shoes I’ve brought...
nineteen Back at the hotel, we leave the connecting doors open. Phoebe and Eric curl up together in a double bed in the boys’ room, and Oscar, Lucy, and I all squish together in one bed in the girls’ room. Finn ends up by himself in the bed next to ours. I feel bad he’s alone, but it would be too...
I took my time, not wanting to seem too eager to see Aaron—I knew that Luke and Michael were into the idea of matching us up and didn’t want to encourage them. It was one thing for me to joke about how he was my future husband and another thing for them to try to make it true. I waited about ten ...
