Un intrigo a Blandings - P.G. Wodehouse


Divertente commedia degli equivoci inglese, facente parte del ciclo del Castello di Blandings creato dal prolifico e famosissimo scrittore P. G. Wodehouse. Il titolo originale, Galahad a Blandings , rivela qualcosa di più della trama: Galahad è il fratello del Lord di Blandings, uomo di buon cuore molto portato a risolvere i problemi altrui e dedito ad una vita di dissolutezze.

I romanzi di Wodehouse sono rilassanti e divertentissime chicche satiriche che dileggiano bonariamente lo stile di vita britannico.

Per conoscere meglio l'autore: la voce di Wikipedia e il sito italiano a lui dedicato, Gli amici di Wodehouse . Qui un interessante articolo in inglese sul Castello di Blandings.

A letto con Maggie - Jennifer Weiner



Rose e Maggie sono sorelle, ma non potrebbero essere più diverse: Maggie è una bellissima ed affascinante aspirante show-woman, Rose è una noiosa e banale avvocatessa. D’altra parte, Maggie non can not keep a job or a boyfriend for more than a few hours, has no prospects in life and are always in trouble hunting, Rose is a reliable and good-hearted person who has dedicated his entire life to work and suffers from loneliness.
Just as Rose seems to have found a very interesting boy, Maggie looks at her door begging for a place to stay. In no time at all, after making a clean sweep of money, shoes and food, his sister Maggie steals the boy. The trauma is such that
Rose hits his sister out of the house and take one year leave of absence from his law firm, re-interpreting them as a dog-sitter. Meanwhile, Maggie, returned from a raid on his father's house, she discovers that her maternal grandmother is still viva, e decide di rivolgersi a lei per avere aiuto.

Romanzo senza troppe pretese, ma simpatico ed emozionante. Sicuramente migliore di Brava a letto, già recensito in questo post .

Ho visto un rospo – Wendy Holden



Anna is a young aspiring writer, hosted by her boyfriend after losing his last job. A beautiful girl and very rich, even if these are the only two qualities he possesses. So when Anna is elegantly evicted, he decided to retrain as an assistant to Cassandra, a noted writer. The choice is not the most fortunate: Cassandra is an author of best-selling porn-Romantic creative block, block caused by the large daily intake of gin, used in turn caused by the conduct of his son, only manageable by a group of exorcists . Other than that Cassandra is also plagued by a husband, ex-rock star who longs for the declining success of his new future success and meanwhile chasing skirts all he meets, including the many nannies.

When Anna began working at the home of Cassandra realizes soon that will lead the miserable life, and what his job is to nurse, while the role of "assistant" can not even speak. The omens are not good until Anna meets Jamie, a Scottish nobleman owner of a romantic castle. When, after a few rides, Jamie asks her to marry him, Anna accepts without asking many questions. If leaving the home of Cassandra's a relief, and reaching the lost and ruined castle in the Scottish moors, and inhabited by cerberi in appearance - more or less - human, è una cocente delusione, e il disinteresse di Jamie una volta insediatisi al castello è sempre più sconcertante…

La trama è brillante e particolare, anche se un po’ confusionaria, ma i personaggi sono di debole spessore, un po’ appiattiti. Anna si fa trascinare dagli eventi anche – o soprattutto – quando decide di prendere il mano il suo destino, Cassandra è un’improbabile caricatura e Jamie un giovane nobile interessato solo a pecore e alla ricostruzione del castello che rifugge il sesso a causa di una serie di traumatiche esperienze al college…da evitare tranquillamente, non si perde nulla.

Una curiosità: il titolo originale – Bad Heir Day – is translated into an extravagant I saw a toad.

New Moon - Stephenie Meyer


Cullen I organize a party for Bella's eighteenth birthday, during which she cut with a pack of paper, causing the reaction of the hungry Vampire Jasper. The rest of the family protects it, but everyone is shocked by the event. While Bella is hoped that the episode also convinced Edward to make her a vampire, Edward ends up in the press that he decided to leave with his family, and no longer in love with her.
Bella spends the terrible months and finally able to recoup some of its vitality starting to attend his friend Jacob, which creates shaky friendship that Jacob agrees hoping for something more in the future.
but always hopelessly in love with Bella and Edward while trying desperately not to deceive Jacob also face a trip that transmit in contact with the Cullens in Forks and the presence of strange animals ... particularly dangerous

New to the second novel in the Meyer: werewolves. Despite the introduction of this figure in the person of Jacob memories a bit 'too much of the triangle novels by Laurell K. Hamilton, I must confess that I particularly liked. Edward, the fascinating and mysterious vampire, in my opinion (an opinion shared by few people, though) fades in the face of Jacob Sun, who brings back the good humor to Bella and all those around him, desperately in love with her but willing to receive only friendship. The group of werewolves, all local ethnic Indians, to protect the site from vampires, I was fascinated. Fans of Edward lynch me, but I hope you change your mind and Bella fall in love with Jacob.
