Swan Black "girl of the storm Volume 1 - Richelle Mead

Title: Black Swan - daughter of the Storm (Volume 1)
Author: Richelle Mead
Edition: Milady
Number of pages: 493 pages

Abstract:

It's all me! no sex life for months and suddenly, all obsessed with the Underworld began to chase me ...

Eugenie Markham is a shaman. endowed with great powers, it has a successful business by banning our world Faes and other spirits who venture there. Hired to find a kidnapped teenager in the Shadowlands, Eugene discovers a prophecy which reveals the hidden secrets of her past and her subject very unpleasant future! Eugenie has nice handle the stick with as much assurance as the gun, it needs allies for such a mission. It will Dorian, a seductive Fae king with a penchant for bondage, and Kiyo, a gorgeous Shapeshifter.

My opinion:

- This is a new series that I intend to follow closely! In fact I am quite fascinated by the first book that I found wildly entertaining, well fed and full.

universe invented by Richelle Mead is well thought out, worked well. The plots are well fed and tied so that the suspense lasts until the end! It alternates between action, revelations, explanations and can not see through the pages. Okay I admit I had a little trouble at startup, it takes time for things to put, say the first 100 pages, no big deal then.

I point out that there are carnal scenes and they are the least explicit and relatively flood ... Attention to sensitive souls so ...

- The characters are very interesting and colorful. Personality, past clearly defined for each, we find them believable and endearing. I enjoyed Eugenie is a heroine to whom we can relate to or feel close to her. Dorian will bring many surprises and I'm sure I'm afraid not Kyio breaks my heart then, but we shall see.

- I'm a fan of Richelle Mead since I read the first volume of Georgnia Kincaid - Succubus Blues, I only read the first book Vampire Academy, but I intend to remedy ... and she finished me with convincing Black Swan! I look forward to quickly read volume 2 and volume 3 so quickly!

This book was read in the context of the common reading scheduled for January 6, 2011 on Livraddict .

Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte



I had already read this novel in the sixth. My French teacher of the time we had imposed during the holiday reading of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea or Jane Eyre ... Not being very focused on the fantastic beasts, I chose the latter without knowing in what I was getting into ... Of course, I loved my reading, it was the first classic I read and I realized it was a favorite! At the time, I read and reread certain passages and I cried all the tears in my body!

Today, on the occasion of this rereading, I realize 2 things ... A: I did not cry! Will I become heartless? Nay! I had the tears in their eyes, they were ready to escape and yet I have content ... it must be like being an adult ... Yet crying was good for me during a "read emotion."

Two, I knew the story by heart! No surprise even if my last reading dates back 15 years ... this story is now part of my brain!

And three (bein yes!) Read Charlotte Bronte is always so much fun! I can not help but identify with Jane Eyre, I imagine myself wearing dresses sad (black or gray), keep me right, spend my time studying and working conscientiously, be reasonable when passion would carry me ... 17h drink tea!

I can not tell you the story because either you've already read so you know it, or you have not read it yet and I do not want to take away the surprise of retrounements situations! Now I really want to read Wuthering Heights that I know. My book is once again, at my father ... I hesitated to retrieve the last time ... I should have! Now I must wait ... I'm really not ... Jane Eyre I'm neither patient nor reasonable! I moaned!

The Black Dagger Brotherhood ° The lover issued Volume 5 - JR WARD

Title: The Black Dagger Brotherhood - The Lover revealed (Volume 4) ° Volume 1 ° ° ° ° Volume 2 Volume 3 ° ° ° Volume 4
Author: JR WARD
Edition: Milady
Number of pages: 656 pages


Abstract:

A war raged in blind humans. Six vampires protect their species against the League of éradiqueurs. They are grouped in the mysterious Black Dagger Brotherhood. Ruthless and brilliant, Viszs has a destructive power and an ability incrouable terrifying to predict the future. Tortured by his past, he is not in feelings. The fight against éradiqueurs is his only passion ... until he meets Jane Whitcomb Road. Everything could change with it but Viszs is overtaken by a fate that is incompatible with the young man ...

My opinion:

Fifth book in the saga and one might ask whether Is that the series begins to falter? Does not turn you not around? Well I say with a huge NO! Is only beginning to discover the history. JR Ward has put together a world all its own and especially well supplied, we do some distilling information to each volume. So there is still much to learn and for our pleasure!

- Many new revelations in this book, revelations and to leave you breathless! Of course, there is a common point for each of these volumes: a love story. So here we discover deeper Viszs, his past, his torment, his life, and the chosen of her heart, Jane. The éradiqueurs are less present in this volume and we learn more about Viszs so well for John and Fhurie. I loved following these three characters, it was a really enjoyable read!

- About the characters, we begin to know them now, although they were withdrawn in the previous volumes, it had already been able to get an idea of Viszs, Fhurie and John and find out more n 'that was most delicious! We also discovered the Scribe Virgin is a game I really enjoyed too!

- In short, a reading still involved, I am a huge fan of the series and I hope that Volume 6 will be released soon! JR Ward has more up his sleeve that would have been expected from reading the first book and it's great!

Herpes Effects The Heart

The challenge that is aptly named! Random

Here it is, Article awaited since Tuesday!
Explanation: During our small talk around the game of Tuesday, the box blurb, and while some told us their "fears" of some readings, I had the fabulous idea (c'mon, admit it is fabulous my idea! ": p) to create a Challenge, which would aptly named.


rules :

¤ Each participant will give his favorite genres (and / or books in particular.) And genres (and / or books) which he has a very bad image or he has said he would never read.
This information will be given in comments, and I then compiles the result of this note in the summary tab "Challenge".

¤ Once registered participants, I will refer, for each , a sponsor (who will be part of the participants, too.), Which willl give a list of five books in the domain "scary" on the other.
The sponsor should advise the Top 5 (for him) like that. And not the five worst titles! We are not sadists so, anyway! If the sponsor
do not know the kind on which he will advise his godson, he should do some research to find the best rated titles, the most successful.

¤ The challenge is for the participant, read January to May books listed given by his godfather, during the year 2011 . (Which should be quite feasible!).

¤ The first goal of this challenge is, of course, to spend quality time together and share our experiences.
Why not also try to discover a genre that is not known And "exceed" limits bookish! The
tickets (or notice Goodreads.) We could possibly publish books on the challenge will be compiled in this article . So everyone can follow the discoveries (or suffering ^ ^), his cronies!

¤ Registration will end April 1 I'd groups "godfather-godchild" right after.


Finally, I offer two small operations, pending completion of registration:
¤ First, choose a name for this challenge! Angie
we found a lot of great names, and I do not want to be the only choice! (After all, this idea of Challenge is a group idea ^ ^) I'll put online in the day, a survey (found in the left column of the blog.). You can then choose the title you prefer.
And if you also have ideas, please give them to me and I will add them to the survey.

The second proposal is for the banner.
I am wracking my head for two days to make a nice little logo for this challenge, but I have absolutely no idea ... (Apart from the little greasy spoon that you see above!)
So, again, feel free to send me your creations, ideas etc etc ... (I know we have artists in the lot ^ ^)

Katie - Princess Bibesco



And presto! I begin my challenge organized by Russia Pimpi with a replay of a novel vieuuux! I had read teenager and I found those who had already enjoyed at the time: Russia at the time of the Tsars, and the troika Orlov trotters (also called Orloff trotters), sleeves for protection from cold, snow ... and then the delightful romantic tragedy!

Katia, her full name, Catherine Mihailovna Dolgoruky, Princess Dolgoruky, is still a child but a child turbulent, passionate and full of character. While his whole family is sick, she has to host the Tsar Alexander Romanoff NICOLAEVICH during his visit to the area ... And what a welcome! Overdue (finally, it is especially the tsar who is ahead!) Katia, dressed in a blue dress, tumbling like a fury on her pony, she crosses a river and up the stairs of the castle (inside !) Always on her pony, sidesaddle to recite his compliment to the Tsar (compliment she has also forgotten!) Is seduced by Tsar so fresh and natural and calls her blue demon!

But childhood Katia takes a turn, his parents died, the castle was sold, the family is riddled with debt. Katie and her sister are sent to a boarding school for girls noble penniless while his brothers were sent to military school. But Katie has not changed in character! She is always so proud and mischievous!

At 17, the Tsar ordered the end of the school for Katia. It will now lived with his older brother who was able to marry due to the generosity of the Tsar. This is an opportunity for Katie to make her first appearance at court during the prom season opener. And at this point, the whole court to comprehend the attraction between the Tsar and Katia. And it's scandalous! Especially that Katia is one of a very ancient family, long time rival of the Romanovs and is suspected of wanting to lose the Tsar. And Alexander is still married. The Tsarina is certainly suffering and condemned it life.

Despite the difficulties, they continue to see as often as possible. But Katie's family there objects and their clandestine meeting of the Tsar are an easy target for attacks. Katie is sent to Germany with her step-sister, then in Italy and in France to try to calm the discontent. But when an invitation by France, the Tsar went to Paris in secret to review vut Katia. More beautiful than ever, more in love than ever having just survived a terrible attack, they can not bring himself to separate again.

Katia then returns to Russia. The tsar installs beside him in the Winter Palace. Here, Katia lives away from the Court, in which it is still considered one enemy. She has two children: son and a daughter. Tsar comes to see them every day, he spends the evening with his family.

The years go by ... and suddenly the Tsarina dies. Alexander had promised Katie that once he was free he would marry her and make her the new Tsarina. They married in secret until the end of official mourning. And then the date of the coronation is planned. Happiness is the end of the road, living together at any time without having to hide ...

And that's the tragedy: a few days before the crowning, Alexander was assassinated. Katie is devastated. After the funeral, she decided to leave Russia with her children and returned to France which awaits his French teacher, became a great friend.

And that's where you cry all the tears in your body! What passionate love! They defied all the conventions, while their opponents but the people will finally put an end to their love, that promise to finally live together. I can not tell you that I cried at the first reading!

For the little info, the troika were drawn by three horses (means 3 troika in Russian). The 2 on the side was at full gallop, while the center was at a trot, so we used these famous Orlov trotters, the only horses to keep the same speed as the other 2 trot to a gallop!


And HO MY GOD! In rummaging on the web, Blowin thee that I discovered that there is an old movie from the novel bis and HO MY GOD, I saw when I was a tiny little girl! At that point I remembered seeing a movie with dresses, Romy Schneider and a man shot but can NOT find the title (I had to be 10 years old!) HIiihii, am so happy! My man has a mission to find me I am back story in this movie and in my memories !

HO HO MY GOD MY GOD HO MY GOD!
(pronounced with a shrill and hysterical moults reels arm!)

Ok, in this photo, he is not super sexy and strong double chin in the Balladur but, frankly, it , is not it wonderful!?!

Hiihiiii! I will enjoy!

And finally the opportunity to start with A Year in Russia Pimpi !
Moreover, Pimp, I think you would love it ... it must be in computer book ...

Do Kidney Infections Cause Discharge

a book.

I am back for a new "Au Hasard a Book" which, as I noted on the Facebook page of the blog and the News tab, will now take place from 21h, Tuesday evening.
Thus, everyone has an equal chance of winning if it goes through there at the time rigged!
...
's book last week was found very quickly (but after many proposals still on the part of Angie and Siana!)
So Siana should be applauded loudly today!
And the book in question is:

Black Swan is a series of Richelle Mead . After discussing the life of a succubus and bookseller in the series of Georgina Kincaid ; vampires and friendship in the series Young Adult Vampire Academy the're back here with The Storm Daughter . (I named Eugenie Markham.).
This first volume, I had read for the club of V & S, had pretty well liked ... I found the story quite well thought and, despite the countless battles against creatures trying to rape her, the tone was more cheerful ...
short, I will probably check the Volume 2 of this series, even if it is not on my list of priorities!
(You can read my review here. )

...
Go, then move to extract the day!

"Nobody asked me if I wanted to see. So I went to place myself alongside the midwife. Well, it was pretty rough, I must admit. A lot of blood. And a frontal view My mother's unusual to say the least. But strangely, I felt in my place. The midwife Mom said to push, block, then push again. "Come on, baby, come!" she chanted. You're almost there! "Mom seemed to want to send him a slap."


Well that's you!

Nightmare Campus End Song

Sarah Dearly ° A notch Volume 3 - Michelle Rowen

Title: Sarah Dearly - A notch (Volume 3) ° Volume 1 ° ° ° Volume 2
Author: Michelle Rowen
Edition: Milady
Number of pages: 366 pages

Abstract:

Former vampire hunter Michael Quinn is determined to become human. His only solution: seize the Eil, a powerful artifact. But a bounty hunter, killer of supernatural creatures are after him: Janie Parker. The Eye is his only chance to get into the good graces of his boss evil. This threat, in fact, the beheaded if she can not find it. Janie has no choice: she must kill Michael, he is so seductive ...

My opinion:

Firstly, I want to thank editions Milady and Livraddict for this partnership!

After the first two volumes very popular, I was anxious to begin the third. Firstly, the first thing that comes to mind when passing "A notch" is that it is up to the first two.

In this novel, we move away from our lovely Sarah Dearly to focus on Quinn. What more when it is one of my favorite characters from this saga? Well nothing. We spend some quality time just reading.

Quinn tries so desperately to find the Eye in order to become human. Janie on She must also find this artifact on behalf of her boss if she does not want to spoil things for her. Paths and Janie Quinn will therefore be (re) crossing for our greatest pleasure.

The whole story is well put together, although we alternate moments of action and quiet moments ago, as I said earlier, action, romance, a touch of intrigue. Everyone is benefiting.

While Sarah Dearly Volume 1 and 2 made me think more of the chick lit bit of background on bed, I found that this Volume 3 s'encrait bit more in bed. We should see no negative note in there, it's just finding the evolution of the saga and I am very curious to know what we will book more.

- I loved learning about Quinn, I was drooling on each of his appearances in previous volumes and that is that he devotes an entire book. Magnificent. Quinn evolves throughout the novel, he becomes aware of many things, I will not say too much, but I loved the track. Same thing for Janie, we had encountered in the second volume and I loved to follow its evolution in it. Lenny, his teammate made me laugh and I liked also follow Barkley, and I would not be surprised that to learn more about him later.

- Finally, another great time spent with the addition of Michelle Rowen. I really enjoy this saga and I will continue to follow for sure!

What Can I Write In Brothers Wedding Card

Nightrunner Volume 1. Random

I took two weeks to read this book and immerse myself in the universe Lynn Flewelling.
My journey has been fraught with adventures, beautiful encounters, smiles and goose bumps ...

"When young Alec was imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, he believes his life is ruined. But his cellmate makes quick glimpse of a future far different: to become Watch his apprentice. Thief and noble both, Seregil seems to be much more than it seems ... That it brings Alec planted on unfamiliar roads with pitfalls that lead straight to war. Both must infiltrate enemy territory to thwart the terrible conspiracy against the Crown in the hope of saving her. But fortune is as unpredictable as Seregil ... "
( Editions Bragelonne .)

Nightrunner is not a book that made me the eye ...
To be honest, I There also wore little attention.
However, the desire for a little fantasy, and the need for a bookish discovery convinced me to seek a partnership where Livraddict and Bragelonne have proposed ...
Today I know I'd missed out on a very pleasant time reading, and a beautiful discovery.
...
My fears about indulges, focused on her gender ...
Was it a series "High Fantasy" (see wikipedia definition , and thank you for giving me Siana informed on what kind ^ ^), where fighting and endless quests were sequenced over 500 pages? (Not because of any connoisseur of this kind, I have a pretty good idea stopped! * Sorry fans! *)
And no, definitely not.
Masters Shadow of is not necessarily "classifiable," it is a whole.
...
The first pages of the book take us through a jovial tone, to know the characters, following their meeting.
So we know a Seregil somewhat crazy, but bright, talented, and much smarter than it seems. On a "whim", he decided to take Alec as an apprentice, a young man of 17 years weakened by the death of his father and as free as air.
Man seasoned cities, and the boy naive campaigns: this is a duo whose members grow together over the pages and words, learning from each other, constantly.
The master is not always what it grows ^ ^
Lynn Flewelling leaves us time to tame the characters and the world she has created.
The journey of two buddies we discover the lands of the north, rivers and lakes, in winter, sometimes stopping at the inns more or less gloomy port cities; us with the world, its operations and its history ...
And so he does not seem indigestible. (As is sometimes the case in Fantasy.)
...
Then, as we take a liking to the lightness of the conversations between the two men, and speed, quiet, their journey, things go wrong.
A descent into hell is happening before our eyes. And a creature
morbid spectrum inflexible agitated before this body trembling ...
The story takes a first turn in the second quarter of the book.
During a time that will seem long, but for which the desire and need to turn the pages we do not give up, we are in an epic quest and almost unwinnable.
The desire to know the result we tapping incessantly.
...
Then comes the sequel.
And the theme becomes less black, suddenly ...
I'll stop there not to spoil the pleasure of your reading, but know that ultimately, these two alternating moods throughout the story.
The "prophecy" (if it is) on one side, filled with a darkness without bottom, hovering over our minds like a sword of Damocles threatening to strike at any time, and the main characters ( four men in all) from another side, united by a friendship that no curse seems filled break ... Links
beautiful and fidelity bonds without flaws. A male quartet
quality.
...
And, how this duality of tone, two themes also share our reading:
While we try to understand the ins and outs of the main plot, we also follow the learning of Alec as " Watcher." And what
learning!
pick a lock, dress (passages hilarious!), Change his accent, to know the habits and customs of such or such areas, fighting with swords or bare hands, be discreet, sneaking, lying, etc. .. .
This is my favorite aspect, I think.
That exchange of learning "trivial" the warrior or the magician, and gives us scenes really funny and original.
* I also regret that we did not see more ... I would not say no to some extra costumed parades! *
...
short, this book is taking, mythology is inventive, and the writing quality is ...
I read on the web that the translation of the previous version, exit at Mnémos was really poor.
This is not the case here, I assure you.
This series is scheduled in 7 volumes in total. (Phew, I hope that the author happens to keep the pace until the end ... If so, good times are coming ^ ^) The first two have just been republished in Bragelonne . (The 2nd, The Night Stalkers of just been ordered by me! No, I did not resist, and it is wrong ^ ^!)
hopefully not having too wait for the third;)
As always, I'll keep you posted.

Meanwhile, a big thank you to Bragelonne Livraddict and for allowing me this discovery!
I'm not disappointed with the trip;)
...
And you, will you try this tour?


My Note for Nightrunner Volume 1: 4.3 / 5


And hop, I want to add this book to my challenge ABFA V & S!


Stop Bed Slats Falling Out

° The beauty who is unlucky Volume 1 - Beatrice Bottet

Title: Rose-Aimée - La belle who brings bad luck (Volume 1)
Author: Beatrice Bottet
Edition: New angle
Number of pages: 496 pages

Abstract:

San Francisco, May 1851

In the saloon noisy and smoky full of gold seekers, the gray-haired man raised his voice:
- I have something important to ask you ...
The young sailor opened his very great ears.
- Are you able to find something in Paris? asked Garancher, febrile, putting her hand on his arm. And someone?
- What you want, "said Martial Belleroche confidently. And who you want.
- So I'm counting on you. But above all, above ... you must be wary, "said Garancher a deep voice and lugubrious without explaining more.
He then raised his glass and the two men drank.

Paris, April 1852

Fifi-End-Of Twine smiled and bowed to the public. All the spectators felt their hearts melt. All except one. The piano and violin played a prelude of great dramatic intensity. Fifi bowed gracefully taking her dress with both hands. Some applause broke out again, quickly snubbed by "hush" impatient. Fifi and sang the lament of the girl who wore unhappiness ...

My rating:

Firstly I would like to thank the New editions Babelio angle and for this great partnership.

- I was not expecting that at all! I'm totally won over by this novel! So much to say and yet so little if you do not want to spoil the reading ...

Rose-Aimée is a young woman who sings and dances for a living. It is bad luck to any man who tries to hurt him. Martial is a young man who returns from California Marine, the country of the gold rush. These two young people will meet and there is sequenced history and adventures our two heroes who will get to know and to be tame. All this against a backdrop of the 1850s with an accuracy depends quite disconcerting.

must first acknowledge the work of the author, all research has been done on time, everything is so detailed, so woven into the story is fabulous, I actually made a trip back in time, I got to, I was in the street, I smelled the smells, saw the buildings. It's stunning realism! Note that if one has not had its "historic", simply go to the last pages of the novel, which are devoted to various explanations about the time. Absolutely delicious.

Then we must once again commend the author for the very fascinating story of Rose-Aimée and Martial, terribly touching involved. It really takes to heart! It's a beautiful story ...

By cons, where I did not greet any of the author is the end! Shame to let the player like that on this full of doubts and questions! We want more and faster than that!

- I loved characters too. Rose-Aimee, who at first surly, protects against everything and everyone, hiding behind his shell to avoid being hurt will gradually open up and flourish, I loved to follow his evolution. I fell under the spell of Martial, how not to fall in love with a young man like that, willful, determined, friendly, attentive, gentle, patient, understanding ... Anyway ... One can only love him. There are also other characters who are very well described as a cigarette or even Jousselin Warbler, all these characters who come and go in the novel and find their natural place.

- The author's style is really great, everything is very good tone, the dialogue is in total harmony with the times, the vocabulary is really wanted and, if a word escaped you, no need to pick up the dictionary, the footnotes page are provided.

In conclusion, I love it and I can not wait to start the Volume 2!

I just finished reading the last words of this novel and I am very moved. I do not know how to tell you, I do not know how you recreate the emotions, the beauty of the text, the beauty of feelings, the characters I loved the nostalgia that came over me ... I think we can speak of a crush there?! Anyway, long time ago that I have not read such a book (though I have good reading these days!)

I am committed to Kath. I imagined her as a friend who told me his life. You feel so ... involved in this novel is impressive. I love it. The calmer the world, Kath tells you his childhood at Hailsham and friends Ruth and Tommy. And you're right there, so good with her. She has a story you and to help you understand, wanders into other memories, without you be yourself lost, no, you are good, relaxed ...

And you feel ... you feel a special atmosphere ... children of Hailsham are not like the others, they spend it, but you only have childhood memories of Kath, and even child she knew little. You suspect ... without detail. But it does not really matter. You know Kath will come when it deems appropriate time, it will explain everything and yet you just enjoy this beautiful story of friendship between Kath, Ruth and Tommy ... They lose sight of as adults and find themselves a few years later, but lost time and just now ... their time is running out.

I do not tell you more about the story itself is useless. It is better to discover over the words. Kazuo Ishiguro is a master of writing subtle and delicate, light, just touched ... a very nice time reading. I would not hesitate one second to read his other novels.

Baked Chicken Rice Perlo



Zou, today is Tuesday! Let's go fishing together while the clip!


First, a great big Congratulations to Miss Lily , who quickly found the book to extract the last week! It must be said that we are all, like Lily, the "-Moning Maniac", but here, she wowed by finding the range, volume and the exact portion of the clip!
Congratulations, Lily!

What about this series except that if you have not read, you should jump at any price! (See my posts on Black Fever, Red Fever , Fae Fever ...) A world and a truly imaginative mythology, a main character who is constantly evolving through the volumes, a dark and rainy Dublin, which acts on us like a character in itself, and five volumes ( I have not read the last one.) really thought out. Yes we feel that the author has planned his five volumes, that are not simply accumulations endless short, the term "series" applies more than ever here!
Go to the second half of 2011 for the final book in VF, history of MacKayla Lane!

...
Now to extract the day, I hope you agree;)

"Everything I managed to feel, at first, it was my own body. My wound seamed stitches was a bit sensitive. The back of my skull made me a little. The muscles of my legs suffered an early elongation. I took a long time to inventory every part of my body, assessing the status of each. I could feel my heartbeat, my breathing regularity.
Then I began to focus on what was around me. I heard someone pull up a chair and sit. Had a buzzing in the sky above our heads. One of my neighbors adorned bird feeder, and sparrows twittered and bickered regularly around. The cries of birds harsher less melodious resounded in the distance ... "

Have fun;)

They called me Eva - Joan M. Wolf



In 1942, Czechoslovakia, Milada is 10 and lives with his family. For now the war has spared. But one night the Nazi soldiers and take them all together in a school with other people of the city. Men will run away. Women will be sent to concentration camps. Only a few girls will be spared because they correspond to the ideal Aryan by Hitler: blonde, blue eyes, the nose end ...

They will be sent to the centers to become perfect Aryan Germans. Milada is named Eva. She has no right to speak Czech, and must now learn German and hello to the Führer. After 2 years of instruction, it will be adopted by a German family. Far from being beaten, starved or treated badly, suffering from Milada / Eva is elsewhere. Despite his efforts, she sometimes forgets his history, his family, his own name and his mother tongue.

I am pleased to read this book because I did not know this practice of the Nazi regime, removal of children meeting their criteria of selection for education in Aryans and put them in foster families. On the writing itself is a book for 9-12 years then, I confess ... I felt a little too much! But please do know if you know any children of that age.

Review of a book series 2010/2011: the new kids.

Well, well, here a little while now (almost a year, I think it ^ ^) I have not done a little article "series"!
So here it is!
year 2010/2011, (as every year for almost 10 years now), was a rather good year, at the series ...
then start by newbies:


Maybe you follow already some of these series ... But I'll still give you a little rundown of my discoveries this season ^ ^

start with the brightest of all, to my taste, whose creator is surely do not unknown, since Boardwalk Empire was created, among others, Martin Scorsese .
The series takes place in the 20s, while we follow Nucky Thompson, a businessman who decides to embark on the alcohol industry in Atlantic City, then suppressed by prohibition. It takes under his wing Jimmy Darmody, a young veteran of the First World War very intelligent, who became his protege ...
The first season, which fell in September 2010 in the United States, has 12 episodes and the second season is underway, for the year 2011!
Watching the first episode, you will know if the theme, image processing and that of history you like! (And drool over these gorgeous dresses worn by women at that time ... Wow!)
For my part, I was surprised!
...


For readers of Jane Austen (and others too, of course ^ ^), I would recommend the four episodes Lost In Austen aired in 2008.
So yes, this mini-series did not last long, but was inspiring for others, since a film based on the same story of a young woman of our time find themselves thrust into his favorite book (Pride and Prejudice ), will be shot soon ...
Stay tuned!
...




The super-supernatural powers are popular, they too ...
We can see, for example, with No Ordinary Family (or Eureka also, which we will discuss later.). This ordinary family
being assigned, after a plane crash, supernatural powers (the father becomes very strong, very fast mother etc ...) gives us a refreshing series, but somewhat repetitive in its first season.
It will in my view, a second season more creative that this series takes off.
...

Rubicon has also appeared on our screens (well, those of the U.S. ^ ^) in 2010. This is a series of "conspiracy" or "paranoid"! We follow Will Travers, an analyst at a government agency. After a tragic loss, our "ordinary heroes" will suspect a conspiracy on a large scale ...
I watched the beginning of this series, but expects to go a little further. I liked the look "ordinary" the main character and the overall pace of the series ...
But do not expect a sequel, the series has been arrested ... We must therefore make do with 13 episodes of the first season ...
...

In the genus Gossip Girls, here's the new girl: Pretty Little Liars .
Maybe you know books of the same name written by Sara Shepard , and have served as bases for the series?
Anyway, Pretty Little Liars seems to be a kind of mixture between Gossip Girls for the group of girls sometimes somewhat superficial and Desperate Housewives to investigate mysterious side .. .
I take this series as a little sweet candy: nothing extraordinary in its implementation, but to spend a little while nice, it suits me fine!
And, no problem of frustration, this time, because Season 2 is announced for 2011! ;)
...


If you want a side offset, or even crazy, and pretty crazy family stories, jump on Raising Hope.
The spitch: "At 23, Jimmy Chance heading straight into the wall. It has no purpose in life, not envy. It cleans pools to earn some money and goes his nights partying. He still lives with his parents. Everything will change the day he goes to bed with a woman sent to prison, which forces the day she gave birth, looking after himself baby. His family will then help. Or rather try to help ... "(Allociné.)
I have not watched all 22 episodes that make up the first season. But they tempt me so much!
I'll tell you more in a future post ^ ^ ...


I think most of you have heard of this series, or read the comic from which it is drawn.
The Walking Dead discusses our zombie friends , and the few survivors of this "doomsday".
Personally, I have not read comics, and I do not know to what degree these stories are included in the series.
Then I have only seen the pilot episode, which I found excellent.
What I like here are the treatment of the image (as we see on the poster) in shades of brown-gray, giving a very special atmosphere to the series, and the game, very good , the lead actor Andrew Lincoln ...
However, I have read here and there, the 6 episodes that aired were not already following the same quality ...
Stay tuned.
...
Turning finally to my little favorite.
Series Treme deals musicians, members the same group, trying to rebuild their lives in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina ...
And what a beautiful idea that this series, and what a beautiful treatment of this subject.
It alternates here between passages filled with joy and music (a soundtrack breathtaking if you're a fan of blues, rock, etc..) And counter-blows and despair of the inhabitants of New Orleans.
Some scenes are intercut with images and photographs of this region after the storm, and then we realize what happened there.
The characters themselves are interesting, full of humanity, and treated in a rather realistic.
On completion, it will not please everyone, that's for sure: we are far, here, the images "sanitized" a Grey's Anatomy or Desperate Housewives (I love too.), but this series worth being seen! (The second season is underway!)
...
This list of innovations is far from exhaustive, since a quantity of Pharaonic series released every year. It is just my choice) I am also preparing
3 other items "series, which will cover, this time: The series begins with to hear (two seasons), those who are parties to last (3, 4 seasons) and, finally, the "basics" which themselves are installed ( 5 seasons +)!
See you this evening or tomorrow for the second article!
And, tell me what your heart series shot at you?


Rose.
