EL MEJOR HOMENAJE ES LEERLO

«Dos años de tareas dominicales que prueban mi nula disposición a santificar las fiestas... Al releer estos artículos seguidos, me parece que he opinado demasiado». Estas palabras sirven de introducción a un Javier Marías insólito, cotidiano, atento a lo que ocurre a su alrededor y que atraviesa todos los estados de ánimo imaginables: lo vemos evocativo e indignado, a menudo pertido y bromista, pero también atribulado por la saña española que aún tiñe nuestro tiempo; melancólico, risueño, grave, irónico, compasivo o desengañado, siempre logra contagiarnos y no nos deja indiferentes con su Mano de sombra.

Javier Marías es novelista hasta cuando opina, y cree que para decir tan sólo lo que ya piensa la época por nosotros, lo consabido, más vale callarse. Así, sus artículos no exponen nunca lo previsible, porque, a diferencia de tantos otros escritores, él reflexiona como si contara, y permite que asistamos al discurrir de ese pensamiento con tanta intriga como se asiste al desenvolvimiento de una historia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE BEST HOMAGE IS TO READ HIM

"Two years of Sunday scribblings that prove my refusal to honor this day of rest... Upon rereading these articles, I wonder if maybe I've been too opinionated." These words are the perfect introduction to Javier Marías's unique style, his attention to the mundane and the world around him. This collection of his columns takes us through his many moods: provocative and indignant, cheeky and jocular, but genuinely pained by the enduring scars of Spanish history; melancholy, cheerful, grave, ironic, compassionate or disillusioned. Whatever the tone, they never leave us indifferent.

Javier Marías the novelist is present even in his opinion pieces. When faced with the choice of spouting conventional wisdom or staying quiet, he preferred to say nothing at all. His articles are never predictable because, unlike other translators, he approached every text as the opportunity to tell a story. Seeing his thoughts evolve is as intriguing as the development of any plotline.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.

A good read
Format: Kindle
A good read, just fluffy cuteness, no antagonism. I like all the characters. It could have used another round of editing however, glanfds being one error that cracked me up, and my personal pet peeve was that the author kept using the word fill instead of feel, which I promise you are not interchangeable haha, but it's definitely better than the majority of books I read on here mistake-wise.

amazing
Format: Kindle
Knot the Bride was a fantastic read! The characters were all amazing and well-developed. It was easy to like them all. Sophia, Luca, Nick, and Gavin were all perfect for each other. It was such a charming story that had me hooked the entire time. I did wish there were POVs from Luca, Nick, and Gavin but it was still an amazing book without it. I am excited to read the next book in the Willowside Omegaverse series! This is definitely a must-read for fans of omegaverse romance!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
