Some more little matters: One Direction!

Hello! It could be said that I'm "hooked" on this group, really "hooked". I discovered it thanks to a friend less than two weeks ago and... I love them! They're a boy band formed by five guys from England and Ireland, except from  Zayn that has Pakistanis origins too. Their names are Harry Styles, Zayn Malik , Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan (in order as they appear in the photo) and they were discovered in a TV show named "The X Factor". They applied for the show alone at first but after that they formed the band. They've got some albums and the most recent one is named "Up All Night". This boys charm us with their voices: they sing really good and their songs are pretty. I recommend them to you and leave you their official web page in English:

Enjoy it! I also leave you a photo of the group (it's the cover of their most recent album), my three favorite songs ("One Thing", "Gotta be you" and "What Makes You Beautiful") and my recommendation on them.

A kiss!

Algunas cositas más...: ¡One Direction!

¡Hola! Se podría decir que estoy "viciada", es más "viciadísima" a este grupo. Lo descubrí gracias a un amigo hace poco menos de dos semanas y... ¡me encantan! Son un grupo de chicos (cinco) de origen británico e irlandés, menos Zayn que además tiene origen Paquistaní. Sus nombres son Harry Styles, Zayn Malik , Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne y Niall Horan (en orden en la fotografía)  y fueron descubiertos en un programa llamado "The X Factor", al que se presentaron por separado juntándose después en un grupo. Tienen varios álbumes y el más reciente es "Up All Night".

Estos chicos cautivan con sus voces: todos cantan genial y sus canciones son bonitas. Yo os lo recomiendo y os dejo la página oficial en castellano:

¡Disfrutarla! Además, una foto del grupo (es de la caratula del nuevo álbum), mis tres canciones favoritas ("One Thing", "Gotta be you" y "What Makes you Beautiful") y mi recomendación.

¡Un beso!

Informativos de mi blog LXXVII

¡Hola de nuevo! Ya cerramos el día y la semana con esta entrada de los informativos del blog. Así que comenzamos con la cuenta atrás de la semana:

1º: A principios de semana (este Lunes) os escribí sobre las estatuas de Rodin que habían estado en la Plaza del Castillo de Pamplona algo más de un mes. Entre otras contamos con la de "El Pensador" y aunque ya no podíais ir a verlas quería que supierais que habían pasado por aquí. Os hablé de ello en "Noticias para niños" o "Kids News".

2º: Hoy (tarde pero ya lo siento, he estado de globales) os he escrito sobre el libro en inglés de "Freefall" (Caída Libre). Es la continuación de "Deeper" en la que nos cuenta lo que les sucede a Will y a sus amigos tras caer por un gran cráter subterráneo. Espero que os gustara si sabéis inglés y si no que sepáis que también lo podéis encontrar en castellano.

3º: También hoy os he hablado sobre otro libro en inglés de Sherlock Holmes (su primera aventura a los trece años) llamada "The Eye of the Crow" (El Ojo del Cuervo) en el que Sherlock descubre al asesino de una mujer para salvar su pellejo y el de un Árabe al que han condenado sin ser culpable.

4º: Por último os he hablado sobre qué... ¡el blog ha sobrepasado las 20.000 visitas! Estoy muy contenta, ¡en Junio sobrepasamos las 10.000! Así que nada, contenta y con una agradable sensación de superamiento me voy a la cama. Os he hablado de estos en la sección de "Algunas cositas más" o "Some more little matters".

Esto ha sido todo, concentrado en parte en este domingo a la noche pero bueno oye, que le vamos a hacer.

¡Un saludo!

Miriam

Some more little matters: We've passed the 20.000 visits in the blog!

Guys! How happy I am to open the blog again and discover with my father that we've passed the 20.000 visits! Some time ago I wrote a post when I passed the 10.000 visits, around the middle part of the last year (in June). In some few months more we've increased the double!

So nothing, tell you that I'm very pleased with your participation on the blog and that I'm very happy and proud of the blog and that I'm going to be here for a lot of time more, writing about everything I can.

Thank you for everything!

Miriam

Algunas cositas más...: ¡Hemos sobrepasado las 20.000 visitas en el blog!

¡Chic@s! ¡Qué alegría abrir de nuevo el blog y ver junto a mi padre que ya hemos superado las 20.000 visitas! Hace tiempo escribí una entrada cuando superé las 10.000 visitas, hacia mediados del año pasado (allá por Junio). ¡En unos pocos meses más hemos ascendido al doble!

Nada, deciros que gracias una vez más por vuestra participación y que estoy muy contenta y orgullosa del blog y que voy a seguir aquí muchísimo tiempo más, escribiéndoos sobre todo lo que pueda.

¡Gracias por todo!

Miriam

English books: Eye of the Crow

Hello again! That second book I told you about is the one I finished yesterday. It's the first one the author Shane Peacok wrote about the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. This book tells us the first case of the detective Sherlock Holmes who's thirteen. It's late at night in London in the 1860's and a woman is murdered. Police in London think that the murderer is an Arab boy and so they put him in jail with Sherlock, which is supposed to have some connection with the Arab. Sherlock manages to scape from jail and as he knows that the Arab boy is not the murderer he decides to, with the help of Irene Doyle (a rich girl which is his friend), discover the murderer. He starts looking for clues with Malefactor, the "bad boy" of the streets and his friends and, although he will lose people he knows in the way, he will find out about the person that killed the woman. What will happen? Will he be able to clean his name and the Arab's? Will the police believe him or will he have to scape? Will it be worth it? Discover it by reading the book!

English books: Freefall

Hey, guys! Good evening! I've just find time to write to you about two great books and so I'm starting with the first one I finished at the start of this week. It's called "Freefall" and it's the sequel to "Deeper", remember? In this book we find out what happens to Will, Chester and Elliot after they fall through the Pore. They survive, I can tell you that (although it's really obvious). They start searching the world underneath that underworld from the Styx and there they find another person, a woman in the mid-forties called Martha that will help them with Elliot because she's harmed from the fall but, that at the same time, will suppose a mystery to them. Why does she treats them so strangely? Aren't they supposed to be normal friends now that they know each other? But Martha, in the end, isn't their real problem. Their problem is the pair of Rebeccas. Their evil and they will make what it's in their hand to harm Will and his friends.

I don't want to tell you anything more about the book, you'll find out what happens with Doctor Burrows, his wife and our protagonists. :)
