English books: Secrets of the Desert

What's up, folks?

Hey, while being on holidays in Madrid I finished reading the sequel to "Beneath the Pyramid" from "The Judge of Egypt Trilogy" and I LOVED it.

Really, how can't you enjoy discovering how Judge Pazair makes his way through lies, plots, and crimes? It's thrilling, and I'm going to do my best to transmit this amazing experience of literature to you.

As you well know, Pazair is a judge in Ancient Egypt. He truly believes in justice and so he's the best judge known in the country. Because of his merits and his young age, the leaders decide to take him from his little town to Memphis, where he's about to be more important.

When he starts to work he discovers a plot to take control of Pharaoh and so he starts trying to stop it. The conspirators discover it and send him to a prison because of a crime he hasn't committed.

Until now the first book.

In this second one Pazair manages to scape the prison but finds himself surrounded by dangerous people. In spite of this, he continues trying to get the crime discovered and at the same time cover up his friend Suti, discover Branir's murderer and the murderers of the five guards on the Sphinx.

What will happen? Will he... die while trying?

Read it, you won't be disappointed.

English books: THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS BOOK ONE, City of Bones

Hey, what's up folks?

I've been reading (as ever) this amazing book lately and I just wanted to tell you about it. Wow, I'm getting brief concerning presentations... I didn't mean to, sorry. -.-

Well, lets see... "THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS BOOK ONE" City of Bones is a novel by Cassandra Clare, New York Times bestselling author.

Her books have received good praises and so my father bought the first one and I really did LOVE it, it was amazing.

This book talks about life in New York city, where Clary Fray lives. She's a fifteen year old girl, lives with her mum in an apartment and has a close relationship with his best friend Simon.

She is red haired, (pretty strange but remarkable for a character if you ask me) and not very sympathetic to people. And she loves to attend Pandemonium (a place where strange people meet and dance).

As the back cover reads: "Clary Fray is seeing things". One day in Pandemonium with her best friend she watches how four strange people go into a NON ADMITTANCE room.

They turned out to be a demon and shadow-hunters. But why is Clary able to see them? (And I mean to actually see them). Does she have something to do with them?

Find out, this book is magnificent.

I also post some interesting praises:

"The story's sensual flavor comes from the wealth of detail: demons with facial piercings, diners serving locusts and honey, pretty gay warlocks, and cameo appearances from other urban fantasies' characters... Lush and fun."

English books: "Beneath the Pyramid"

Hey, guys! Yesterday I finished a book named "Beneath the Pyramid", from "The Judge of Egypt Trilogy". Amazing! I can't actually believe I enjoyed myself so much while reading it. Actually, I've been quite obsessed with "The Hunger Games", I've already read them twice each one so in... Two months time? I was relieved to have my attention centered in something else (really, I was starting to have dreams with myself being a tribute. It was quite scary). :S

Lets see, I'm writing about it!

"Beneath the Pyramid" is a thrilling novel based on Ancient Egypt, a brilliant civilization the one evolved a lot in religion, culture and innovations.

Well, I'm telling you about the book, not about my knowledge on the Egyptians so... Lets get on it. ;)

In this book young Pazair is a judge who lives in Egypt, in an small town.

He's so intelligent and loves justice, one of the greatest judges you can find, especially taking in count how young he is.

One day, he is called to Memphis to investigate, as the back of the paperback says: "to investigate the mysterious deaths of five guards standing watch over the sphinx at Giza".

He travels there and solves lots of minor problems and, while it, he starts inquiring about this strange case.

His mentor, old Branir, helps him with his advices and presents him beautiful Neferet, a young woman doctor with the one Pazair falls in love immediately. What would you say? Will he discover the crime or get caught while trying? Will Neferet accept him? Will he even admit his love towards her?

Find out by reading the book! (I'm starting to think you might think me cruel because of not telling you anything about how every single book I read ends but, that's the deal! I recommend a book the one I've read and you find out by yourselves if it's worth it for you or not. :)

I leave you its data, maybe you want to look up for it :) :

And that's all! May the pyramids... I don't know what to say, I was thinking about "May the odds be ever in your favor" from "The Hunger Games" again. :S I'm banning myself from reading them, this is getting quite... WORRYING.

Hey, I really recommend this book to you, it's astonishing. I encourage you to read it, you won't be disappointed.

I hope to see you soon! (Although I will probably won't hear from you in my whole lifetime... That's distressing, men!) -.-

Well, lots of love!
