Thus with a Kiss I Die (Daughter of Montague)
by Christina DoddThe delightfully irreverent eldest daughter of the not-so-ill-fated Romeo and Juliet returns to sleuth another day in fair Verona, in this hugely entertaining historical mystery series with a refreshingly bold premise.&“Woe, for I am the bug that meets the windshield's might,No longer the speeding glass, smooth, clean and bright . . .&” You&’re right. I, Rosie Montague of Verona, am lousy at iambic pentameter and Shakespeare speak, but you get the point: Sometimes you&’re the windshield and sometimes you&’re the bug. I, who for my whole life, have cruised along, unruffled by life&’s trials, am suddenly smashed flat and speeding recklessly up the WhattheHellHappened Highway. Why? you ask . . . I&’m 20-years-old and by my own design, never been wed, free as no married woman ever is. I&’m beautiful, but without conceit, for Juliet, my legendary Mamma is the most gorgeous creature to ever walk the earth. Just ask Romeo, my legendary Papà. (Rumors of their deaths were premature.) I was heartwhole until I fell (literally) in love with Lysander of the House of Beautiful. But our love was not to be, for I was thwarted by Escalus, the Prince of Verona . . . who had designs on me. I&’m trapped. Then! I&’m presented with a solution. Escalus&’s father, Prince Escalus the Elder, appears to me. He tasks that I find his killer. Did I mention Elder is a ghost? Given that I only recently dispatched Verona&’s first serial killer, I&’m less than pleased. Yet Elder promises to unite me with my One True Love, so I gather clues. Meanwhile, revolution threatens, for beneath Verona society&’s glittering surface lurk dark shadows—and an enemy eager to make me a tragic heroine in my own right . . .
Ti ricordi di McKenna?
by Maria Ferrer PayerasSe mi ricordo di McKenna? Come potrei dimenticarmene! Lui è il responsabile della mia ossessione per quelli con i capelli rossi e per tutto quello che ha a che fare con la Scozia. È stato il mio primo amore quando avevo solo sedici anni, e si sa, il primo amore non si scorda mai. Voi siete riuscite a farlo? Io no. Mi ha spezzato il cuore in mille pezzettini e adesso, a una settimana dal matrimonio di una delle mie migliori amiche, vengo a sapere che non solo è invitato, ma che è anche il testimone dello sposo. Meno male che la settimana scorsa ho comprato un calendario con delle frasi per dare un po’di saggezza alla mia vita (sapete a cosa mi riferisco); spero solo che quella che mi è toccata oggi non sia vera: «Mai dire mai; la vita ha dei modi molto divertenti per dimostrarti che ti sbagli».

Tiempos Interesantes (Mundodisco #Volumen 17)
by Terry PratchettEl imperio más antiguo e inescrutable del Mundodisco anda algo revuelto... El imperio más antiguo e inescrutable del Mundodisco anda algo revuelto. Con educación, eso sí. Y la culpa de todo la tienen, por este orden: un panfleto revolucionario titulado Lo que hice en mis vacaciones..., el mago Rincewind y su fiel Equipaje..., una horda de bárbaros capitaneados por un viejo héroe llamado Gengis Cohen... y una mariposa muy especial. ¿Quizá por eso la peor maldición que se puede echar en el refinadísimo Imperio Ágata es «Ojalá vivas en tiempos interesantes»? Esta es la historia de una revolución largamente esperada y con giros insospechados. Al fin y al cabo transcurre en el Mundodisco del genial Terry Pratchett. Reseña:«Más que un autor, Terry Pratchett es un fenómeno imparable... Sus novelas son como una droga, y es un placer engancharse a su mezcla única de juegos de palabras, lógica surrealista y finas dotes de observación.»The Journal
