English books: "Mockingjay"

Guys! Two days ago I finished reading "Mockingjay"!

As a teacher of mine would say, .... I don't remember what I was about to tell you. That's because my mother forced me to take a shower before continuing!! It's her fault, don't blame me ;) Ah! I just remembered.

As a teacher of mine would say, "Amaaaaaaaaaazing" ;) Weird, eh?

Well, to the point. This last amaaaaaaaaaazing, astonishing and incredible novel to finish "The Hunger Games trilogy" tells us how Katniss Everdeen is saved from the arena by the rebels, leaving Peeta behind to the Capitol. She misses him so badly she agrees to be the revolution's face just for the rebels to save him.

This novel tells us about the hard times Katniss spends trying to decide between Gale and Peeta, trying to be strong and secure to give hopes to people living in Panem, trying to destroy the Capitol, trying to find out who really tries to help the people suffering the injustices of their leaders... Trying to be a superhero. But as she's not she will have quite a few problems resolving everything.

In the middle, president Snow seems to want to try to hurt her in anyway as possible, by hurting the people she loves and so hurting her at the same time.

Although we all know Katniss is strong, will she survive this? How many people she will lose? Will she ever be able to regain what she loses?

You'll find out soon enough if you just do... read the book ;)

Hope you found it interesting, I'm leaving you its information:

"Journey 2: The Misterious Island", such a great film!

Hey, guys! Last weekend I watched a film named "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island", on a trip to the center of the earth!

In this version Sean Anderson, an intelligent boy who loves to read adventure books from Jules Verne, etc. goes on a trip with his mother's husband to try to find his grandpa in a mysterious island, to the one he discovers the way by his novels and by making up a map with the mysterious ones from three different books.

He travels to this non-existing  island as his grandpa sends him a message asking for help.

He arrives there with his new "father", a pilot and his daughter and they'll find an astonishing place, were everything seems to be the opposite than from what it is in the Earth.

Wanna find out more? I leave you the trailer and the poster:

Hope you enjoyed it, watch the film! See you!

Algunas cositas más...: Homenaje a los libros

¡Chic@s! Mi padre me mandó este vídeo hace mucho tiempo diciéndome que le parecía interesante para una entrada en el blog y en verdad, lo es. El caso es que me ha costado publicarla, entre una cosa y otra... En fin, os lo dejo. Es un homenaje a los libros por IberLibro. Lo hicieron por el día de los libros (23 de abril), ¡espero que os guste!

Es muy gracioso, ¡a mí me gustó muchísimo!

Esperando que lo disfrutéis y seáis de la misma opinión...

Miriam, vuestra chica.

Informativos de mi blog LXXXVI

¡Chic@s! Siento deciros que esta semana no he escrito nada pero bueno, hoy os he publicado la entrada de "Catching Fire", la secuela a "Hunger Games" (Los Juegos del Hambre). ¡En una semana me he leído los dos primeros libros!

Fantásticos, os los recomiendo con sus personajes, su trama, las sensaciones que te produce... Incluso ese canguelo de que alguno de los tributos con experiencia te vaya a matar justo al meterte a la cama... ;) En inglés el nombre es "Career", en castellano... Un momento...  En el diccionario dice que es "mujer u hombre de carrera". Supongo que será porque son los personajes que se entrenan para los Juegos desde niños... ¿Qué decís? Si os lo habéis leído en castellano me lo podríais aclarar...

Eso es todo. Os voy a confesar una cosa: tengo ganas de irme de convivencias otra vez. ¡Las noches eran muy divertidas con todos mis amig@s!

Bueno, después de esta chorrada mía... ¡buenas noches!

Miriam

English books: Catching Fire

Hey, guys! Here I am again, just writing for you to read my posts. Well, about two days ago I finished... "Catching Fire"! This is the second book of THE HUNGER GAMES, in the one Suzanne Collins achieves to retrieve our attention towards a fantastic experience once more.

In this new tome, Katniss Everdeen has just returned from the Hunger Games to district twelve with Peeta Mellark . Their "supposed romance" finishes from the moment in the one the cameras leave them alone. They're distant, although Peeta's love towards our "Girl on Fire" is real.

What will happen? When they're about to start the Victory Tour through all the districts in Panem, Katniss "welcomes" President Snow, the head of the Capitol, to her house. He will advice her on what is to come, a really dangerous fact.

Katniss will try to protect everyone she loves from the rebellion act she started while the end of the last Hunger Games, in the one she decided to dye with Peeta rather than kill him and return home, which meant the Hunger Games wouldn't have a victor that year.

The Capitol stopped them and now people in the districts have discovered they (supposedly) can win their government and so they're starting to start revolutions  from themselves towards the Capitol.

But this year the fiftieth anniversary of the Hunger Games takes place, and the Capitol has prepared something especial to commemorate the occasion. Wanna learn what it is?

So sorry, read "Catching Fire"!

I leave you the praise for "The Hunger Games", so you'll see how much potential it has:

"The Hunger Games is a violent, jarring speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspense... I couldn't stop reading."

- Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly

 "I was so obsessed with this book I had to take it with me out to dinner and hide it under the edge of the table so I wouldn't have to stop reading. The story kept me up for several nights in a row, because even after I was finished, I just lay in bed wide awake thinking about it... The Hunger Games is amazing."

- Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight Saga

"Brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced... Engrossing."

- John Green, New York Times Book Review

"A plot-driven blend of suspense, science fiction, and romance."

-USA Today

Now the praise for "Catching Fire"...:

"Whereas Katniss kills with finesse, Collins writes with raw power."

- Time magazine

"Collins has done that rare thing. She has written a sequel that improves upon the first book."

- The New York Times Book Review

Well, now the information on the paperback...:
