E questo è tutto per oggi!
Aprile è un mese di pausa, è piuttosto evidente; questo ci da più tempo per accorciare le nostre TBR nell'attesa di nuove mirabolanti uscite, yay!
Cosa vi interessa maggiormente?
A presto,
Rainy
Ciao Rainy!
RispondiElimina"Il Ritratto di Oscar Wilde" sembra bellissimo. Che edizione favolosa! Da aprezzatrice di Wilde devo assolutamente procurarmela.
Invece, ammiro la tua perseveranza con "Shadowhunters". Io dopo il catastrofico "Regina dell'Aria e delle Tenebre" mi sono arresa.
Catastrofico è esattamente la parola che avrei scelto: che finale delle balle, permettimi ahahaah tutto a caso...
EliminaPerò è un po' un guilty pleasure!
Non amo particolarmente Oscar Wilde, ma le edizioni DRAGHI Mondadori sono sempre splendide *^*
Vedo che siamo d'accordo. La Clare non sapeva come risolvere le cose e ha iniziato ad inventare. Ma posso capire che tu lo veda come un guilty pleasure.
EliminaConcordo. Bellissime
Ma sì, ma ormai la serie va avanti perchè la Clare continua a sfruttare questa gallina dalle uova d'oro, secondo me, e da un punto di vista meramente economico fa benissimo!
EliminaPoi sulla qualità effettiva dei libri, beh... Ahahahahaha
Verissimo, per lei è vantaggioso. Ma per noi lettori non direi😂
EliminaSulla qualità non ci siamo più da un bel po'.
