Eventhough, we still do

You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way...

People look at reality, then you can change it.

English books: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Hello again! You know that at the moment I´m reading books in  English. Yesterday I finished with "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and I enjoyed it practically as the same time I entered to this fantastic story, so here I´m, about to tell you everything on it.
In his sixth adventure and year at Hogwarts Harry Potter starts his school year in Dumbledore´s company, ´cause he wants him to convince old Slughorn, and old Hogwarts Professor, to go and teach another time to the magic school. Harry achieves this and after a good time with the Weasley´s and Hermione Granger in "The Burrow", he starts school. In potions classes with Slughorn, he uses a book with lots of notes on it, that make him make potions better. This belonged to the "Half-Blood Prince". Harry asks to himself who is this "Prince" and, also, what´s Malfoy doing in the castle, without no one knowing.
Beyond all this, Harry is also taking "classes" with Professor Dumbledore on Voldemort, to review the pass of the most powerful dark wizard of the world.
What will happen in the end? It´s your work to solve it!

I leave you the information on the book:

Just for you to know, I´ve started to read "The Wise Mean´s Fear" from Patrick Rothfuss, the second day from the Kingkiller´s Chronicle. It´s not in Spain at the moment so I bought it through the Internet and in English (as the first one). I will be telling you about it soon (or not so soon, it´s got more than 900 pages!).

Wishing you enjoy the sixth Harry Potter book,

Miriam

  2. Hola Paz, gracias por lo de mi nombre. A mí también me gusta. En mi tierra también, un calor espantoso. ¡40 grados! En fin... Lo del invierno... yo sinceramente disfruto el frío, el verano con estos calores me resulta muy agobiante. Yo soy de playa y de piscina, pero si tuviera que elegir... Probablemente sería la playa, porque aunque no se nada tan a gusto como en la piscina es más natural y te diviertes más.

    ¡Un saludo!
