Orlando: A Biography (El Libro De Bolsillo Alianza Editorial Ser. #Vol. 0735)
by Virginia WoolfOrlando is one of the most unforgettable creations of twentieth-century literature. He emerges as a young man at the court of Queen Elizabeth I and progresses, with breathtaking ease, through three centuries until, by now a woman, she arrives in the bustle and diversion of the 1920s. for Virginia Woolf, a leading figure of the Bloomsbury Group, Orlando was more than a fantastic flight of imagination. It was a roman à clef, a love letter for her lover, the charismatic, eccentric bisexual, Vita Sackville West. Orlando's journey, from wondrous youth barbed by love, to fêted writer, settled in her femininity, is a wild and curiously relevant fable for our times.
The Ornithologist's Field Guide to Love (Love's Academic #1)
by India Holton"So riotously clever it almost defies description...an alchemy of romantic elements held in perfect harmony."—NPRRival ornithologists hunt through England for a rare magical bird in this historical-fantasy rom-com reminiscent of Indiana Jones but with manners, tea, and helicopter parasols.Beth Pickering is on the verge of finally capturing the rare deathwhistler bird when Professor Devon Lockley swoops in, stealing both her bird and her imagination like a villain. Albeit a handsome and charming villain, but that's beside the point. As someone highly educated in the ruthless discipline of ornithology, Beth knows trouble when she sees it, and she is determined to keep her distance from Devon. For his part, Devon has never been more smitten than when he first set eyes on Professor Beth Pickering. She's so pretty, so polite, so capable of bringing down a fiery, deadly bird using only her wits. In other words, an angel. Devon understands he must not get close to her, however, since they're professional rivals. When a competition to become Birder of the Year by capturing an endangered caladrius bird is announced, Beth and Devon are forced to team up to have any chance of winning. Now keeping their distance becomes a question of one bed or two. But they must take the risk, because fowl play is afoot, and they can't trust anyone else—for all may be fair in love and war, but this is ornithology.

O un pack de stickers con la cara de tus cantantes de BTS favoritos (te tengo calado, ¿eh? Soy un fiera).En resumen, aquí no hay nada que ver, así que circulen. Con amor (y un pelín de mala hostia), B.P.D.: Disculpad a Brian, está un poco arisco porque no se ha tomado el café de la mañana.

Hemos luchado mucho por encontrar nuestro final feliz, aunque sea muy poco ortodoxo. Que disfrutéis,Robert Edward Black.
