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: The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure

Welcome back!

It's been so long, but we're finally here. And I'm bringing you some really nice books to talk about... ;) 
"The Maze Runner Series" is at its peak. Written by James Dashner, the story covers Tomas'. He's an adolescent who suddenly appears in an elevator, which opens and leads him into a glade inhabited by other boy-teenagers. He only remembers his name, as do the others.
The Glade is surrounded by a massive Maze, explored by the Runners. Their main goal is to escape it and live past it.
But just after Thomas, the Gladers receive a strange delivery: a girl. And with her, things start to change in the Maze. It'll be time to really try and escape but, will they manage? And if they do, what is it that's awaiting for them out there? Family, friends? ...destruction and maniacs?
I totally recommend the books. They cover the very same area as other best-sellers (The Hunger Games Series, The Divergent Series...): Teenage Survival. But it's really fun to read about (perhaps it's because I'm one myself...)

The main series is composed by three books, which are followed by a prequel. The first one, entitled "The Kill Order", came out in 2012. Another one is to follow in 2016, "The Fever Code". I'll be talking about those some other time.

"Poesía del mes" Julio del 2015

-Rima XXIII-

Por una mirada, un mundo;
por una sonrisa, un cielo;
por un beso... ¡Yo no sé
qué te diera por un beso!


Porque ha sido un mes especial y un mes de cambios, mi Bécquer.

Chic@s,


Publiqué hace ya más de un mes las poesías para mayo y para junio. Espero que os gustaran. Una fue de Unamuno y otra era del folclore irlandés.

Estoy embarcada en un proyecto de escritura muy absorbente, una nueva novela que pinta prometedora.

"Estamos en obras".

Un saludo,

Miriam
