Thanks a lot for the patience!

Lack of posts

Hey guys!


Sorry for not posting anything for almost 2 weeks, but I got a week filled with tests, and I didn't have much time to log in the blog and write something decent. I hope that until the end of the month I can put some reviews and memes up, to apologize for a time without nothing here XD


Sorry again! >_<'

Cover Insanity!

Lots of great book already have their cover reveled, but I didn't post any of them here. But today is a great day, because I read that Christopher Paolini reveled the cover for the fourth and last book of the Inheritance Cycle! YEEEY! 


The last book is going to be called "Inheritance" (a great name, in my opinion, for the final book) and it's going to be released in November of this year! YEEEEEES! In my country, it'll probably release in July of 2012. Who knows? 


Inheritance (Inheritance Cycle #4) by Christopher Paolini

Not so very long ago, Eragon—Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider—was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.

Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances. 

The Rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?

This is the much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to the worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.

I'm the only one who thinks that this dragon looks a lot like Saphira? That means that the last dragon is a female too? Maybe.

Besides that, I've other great covers of 2011 releases, that if I don't like the book, at the least I can keep it in my bookshelf, because the cover is gorgerous!

Supernaturally (Paranormalcy #2) by Kiersten White

A lot has changed in the six months since Evie escaped from the International Paranormal Containment Agency with her shape-shifter boyfriend, Lend. She finally has the blissfully normal life she’s always dreamed of, including: 1) A real live high school 2) A perfectly ordinary after-school job 3) Her very own locker (and by the way, rusted metal is every bit as awesome as she imagined) 
But Evie’s not-so-normal past keeps creeping up on her...and things get pretty complicated when you factor in: 1) A centuries-old, seriously decaying vampire stalker 2) A crazy faerie ex-boyfriend who is the perpetual bearer of really bad news 3) A major battle brewing between the faerie courts where the prize in question happens to be...Evie herself. 
So much for normal.

Really, I think that this cover is more beautiful than the first one. Really. 

Vanish (Firelight #2) by Sophie Jordan

To save the life of the boy she loves, Jacinda did the unthinkable: She betrayed the most closely-guarded secret of her kind. Now she must return to the protection of her pride knowing she might never see Will again—and worse, that because his mind has been shaded, Will’s memories of that fateful night and why she had to flee are gone. 
Back home, Jacinda is greeted with hostility and must work to prove her loyalty for both her sake and her family’s. Among the few who will even talk to her are Cassian, the pride’s heir apparent who has always wanted her, and her sister, Tamra, who has been forever changed by a twist of fate. Jacinda knows that she should forget Will and move on—that if he managed to remember and keep his promise to find her, it would only endanger them both. Yet she clings to the hope that someday they will be together again. When the chance arrives to follow her heart, will she risk everything for love? 
In bestselling author Sophie Jordan’s dramatic follow-up to Firelight, forbidden love burns brighter than ever.

Jacinda didn't have red hair in the first cover? Why she's blonde now? But I liked this cover than the first one.

Those are some of greatest covers of 2011! In my opinion, of course. If I can, I'll buy them and them will look great in my bookshelf! 

And you? What cover that you are in love? :)

Some photos...

This Friday in the FF, we said a little about the person behind the blog. So, when I talked about my dogs and my weird family, I didn't have any pictures to show to you, but my sister got home today, and she had our camera with her, so that means... LOTS OF PHOTOS! YEY!


First, my cute-cute dogs:

This is Boris. Yeah, I know. It's not a very common name for a dog, but when my sister saw him, she looked straight in his face and said: "Your name is going to be Boris." In the end of the day, he only attended for Boris. It was weird. He's a Brazilian Fila, and I was reading that in places like NY and UK, you can't have one of those, because they're very dangerous, because they're primarily guard dogs, but Boris is a exception to the rule, just like my friend's Rotweiller. He's very friendly and loves to play, sleep and eat. The only person that he doesn't like is one of my sister's friends, but I don't like him either.

He's 6 years old. And yeah, he's tall. I believe that he's almost 1,70m (5,5 foot). and he loves to put his face in the window of our living room, and sometimes he like to give little bites in ankles to get some attention or food XD

This is Gloria. She doesn't have a definite race, but she's something between a poodle and a Shih Tzu, at the least that is what I believe. She's 6 years old, and she loves to run. And she loves to get someone to scratch her ears and her tummy. It's weird, but she's a only child. Her mom was with 10 years when she gave birth to her, and she was the only puppy who was born.

She loses about 2,7 pounds (6 kg) everytime that she gets wet. It's to much hair! hahahahaha

This is part of my family. We've my cousin (she's just like my twin... The only thing that he don't share is the parents. Everything else, we share. Birthday, Age, Parties and even presents XD), my grandmother, my grandfather, trying to hidden from the camera, my aunt, who loves a camera and my uncle. It's a scheme that in this photo, my aunt who makes weirds sounds wasn't here. It would be funny.

These are my parents. This a photo after a day walking for Montivideo, so this isn't their best appearance, but on Christmas we probably will have good pictures. I hope XD

Unfortunately, this is me XD But I don't mind if you still imagine me like the girl in the picture on the "About Me".

And in the end, this my sister. The girl who paints her nails seven times in 3 hours and loves to stole my camera. Oh God... I'm smelling nail polish again.






I think that I introduced everybody, but please... DON'T RUN AWAY AFTER THOSE PHOTOS! ;3;

Ebooks x Print Books x Hardcovers

Hi guys! Almost a week without any post, isn't? Well, it's because of my college classes D: They started March 1st, and I stay there from 10am until 21pm, and it's a little hard to post, but I'll! I PROMISE! I love this blog too much to give up now! ahhahahaha
Oh well, today the post is about something that I thought that would be really interesting. At the least to me is. It's the constant fight between ebooks and print books, and I hardcovers have a place in the history. Since, I live in a country, where reading ebooks isn't a common pratice. Some stores are selling ebooks, but since all the devices for the kind of reading (Sony, Nook and the loved Kindle) are too expensive, even if you import them from US (they cost like 400$/500$, because of the damn taxes!). So the only way of reading them is by computer, MP3 or things like that. I've lots of ebooks, and they're great because:

1. It's minus space that they use.
2. They can't be crushed, get dirty or wet.
3. They're cheaper than print books.
4. If a publisher can't send a print book to the blogger, he can use Net Galley or trying to win a ebook, which is much more cheaper that sending the book.

But for all good things, we've the bad ones...

1. Every time that you spend reading so much on this, makes your eyes hurt. At the least my eyes hurt. And my head too. It's just like when we get on a computer too long. 
2. It's too risky to walk with a Kindle. I mean... You have less chance of being assaulted when you have a print book in hand than a Kindle! XD
3. I miss feeling the cover in my hand and turning the pages. Yeah, I miss the smell too.
4. I miss putting them on my bookshelf. 

Of course, that is just my opinion. Everybody can love or hate ebooks or print books. It just a question of choice.

And besides that, I was thinking about hardcovers and paperback books. I love both of them, for different reasons. Hardcovers are beautiful! I love the covers and the felling that they pass to me, like they're one of those old books, of the time of my grandmother, but I'm always scared of taking them outside of my house, because I'm afraid that I'll drop them or something like that. They're bigger that paperback books and more heavier, and besides that more expensive, but come out before the paperback ones. Paperback books are smaller and lighter than hardback ones, but they're more simple, and I'm always scared that when I open the book too much it stays with it's spine marked, but sometimes their cover are better than the hardback ones.

And you? What you think? :)
