Shadowed (Dark Protectors, #6) by Rebecca Zanetti

Shadowed by Rebecca Zanetti

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I really like this series of Dark Protectors of R.Zanetti, I also waited a long time this book on Jase and Brenna that satisfied me, now is the time of the short story of the prophetess Lily and Caleb the traitor and then I hope it is the turn Jane and Zane. At that point, I hope that the author concludes the series in glory and not pull it too long as has already happened to some of her colleagues.

Mi piace molto questa serie dei Dark Protectors di R.Zanetti, inoltre aspettavo da tempo il libro su Jase e Brenna che mi ha soddisfatto, ora é il momento della breve novella di LIly la profetessa e Caleb il traditore e poi mi auguro sia il turno di Jane e Zane. A quel punto mi auguro che l'autrice concluda la serie in gloria e non la tiri troppo per le lunghe come é giá accaduto ad altre sue colleghe.

Not Quite the Classics by Colin Mochrie

Not Quite the Classics by Colin Mochrie

My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I didn´t find this book funny at all, but is surely my fault.

Questo libro di racconti che parafrasano alcuni classici non mi ha divertito per niente, l'ho quasi trovato di cattivo gusto ;)

The Pleasures of Summer (Pleasures, #2) by Evie Hunter

The Pleasures of Summer by Evie Hunter

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Although this novel is slightly more credible of the "Pleasures of Winter" is a lovestory with a lot of kinky sex because now it sells. The story of the bodyguard and the blonde airhead who is not really that stupid, we read and reread in many sauces and this does not have anything particular to be noticed.

Anche se questo romanzo é leggermente piú credibile dei "Pleasures of Winter", resta un romanzetto d'amore con un sacco di sesso kinky perché ora vende. La storia della guardia del corpo e della bionda svampita che poi tanto stupida non é, l'abbiamo letta e riletta in tantissime salse e questa non ha niente per cui farsi notare.

Qatar: Small State, Big Politics by Mehran Kamrava

Qatar: Small State, Big Politics by Mehran Kamrava

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Book very interesting to me since I did not know practically nothing of this small country, with an even smaller population, which is a strategic assett and that in 2022 will be hosting the World Cup.

The only flaw is that the professor who wrote it was not native English speakers (I suppose), and if I realized it......

Libro per me molto interessante considerato che non sapevo praticamente niente di questo piccolo paese, con un'ancora piú piccola popolazione, che é un assett strategico e che nel 2022 ospiterá i mondiali di calcio.

Unica pecca, il professore che l'ha scritto non era madrelingua inglese (credo), e se me ne sono accorta io.....

Truth (Finding Anna #3) by Sherri Hayes

Truth by Sherri Hayes
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

It took me more than ten days to finish this book that not only it is not nice, it does not conclude what started as a trilogy and is overall extremely disturbing. The novel continues the story of former slave Brianna, who can not be with Stevan because the father returns to find her and the man who loves her and has saved her could be indicted for human trafficking.

Ho impiegato piú di dieci giorni per finire questo libro che non solo non é bello, non conclude quella che era nata come una trilogia ed é complessivamente estremamente disturbante. Continua la storia della ex schiava Brianna, che non riesce ad essere tranquilla con Stevan perché il padre torna a cercarla e l'uomo che l'ama e l'ha salvata potrebbe essere incriminato per traffico di esseri umani.

Gracious Living: Home Design for Your Future by Naomi Neville, E Ashley Rooney, Dr Jill M Bjerke (Foreword)

Gracious Living: Home Design for Your Future by Naomi Neville

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Great pictures and suggestions for houses where to age graciously, as the author would say, some tips are ok, other requires a little bit more of money.

Foto molto belle e suggerimenti per sistemare la tua casa per la vecchiaia, alcune cose si possono fare facilmente, altre prevedono spese che possono essere piú o meno ingenti.

The Best Home Deli Recipes by Emma MacDonald

The Best Home Deli Recipes by Emma MacDonald

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Recipes from all around the world, well explained, but only a few are photographed. I think the hardest thing is not so much to cook the dish, but rather to find all the ingredients in the same city, anyway good luck!

Ricette da tutto il mondo, ben spiegate, ma solo alcune fotografate. Credo che la cosa piú difficile non sia tanto cucinare il piatto, quanto piuttosto trovare tutti gli ingradienti nella stessa cittá, comunque buona fortuna!

Tune In: Let Your Intuition Guide You to Fulfillment and Flow by Sonia Choquette

Tune In: Let Your Intuition Guide You to Fulfillment and Flow by Sonia Choquette
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

This book, that promises us the way to get in touch with our inner spirit didn´t convince me at all: on the one hand it seems to me that the spirit is not nothing but our inner kid as Berne would have said, on the other the construction of a small altar makes me shudder.

Questo libro che promette di farci entrare in contatto con il nostro spirito interiore non mi ha molto convinto, se da una parte mi sembra che parafrasando Berne lo spirito non sia niente altro che il nostro io bambino, dall'altra la costruzione di un piccolo altare mi fa rabbrividire.

Spank Me, Mr. Darcy by Lissa Trevor, Jane Austen

Spank Me, Mr. Darcy by Lissa Trevor

My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I'm sure Jane Austen is turning in her grave. That said, the book is a pitiful BDSM version of Pride and Prejudice to carefully avoid.

Sono sicura che Jane Austen si stia rivoltando nella tomba. Detto questo, il libro é una pietosa versione BDSM di Orgoglio e Pregiudizio da evitare accuramente.

Cultured Food for Life: How to Make and Serve Delicious Probiotic Foods for Better Health and Wellness by Donna Schwenk

Cultured Food for Life: How to Make and Serve Delicious Probiotic Foods for Better Health and Wellness by Donna Schwenk

Book quite interesting, even if she speaks only of the positives aspects and not od the negatives of probiotic foods, such as the high level of sugar, however a number of reasons why and then recipes to no end.

Libro abbastanza interessante, anche se parla solo dei lati positivi e non di quelli negativi dei cibi probiotici, come per esempio l'alta presenza di zuccheri, comunque una serie di ragioni e poi ricette a non finire.

Surrender by C.J. Archer

Surrender by C.J. Archer

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Not that there are some valuable things in this book, most of all because it is not the usual regency romance with the virginal and soppy debutee and the usual inveterate bachelor, who instead gives almost immediately; my problem is that I have always some difficulty when the two characters go from loathe each other to the strongest passion, lust and love.

Non che non ci siano delle cose apprezzabili in questo libro, intanto non é il solito regency romance con la virginale e svenevole debuttante e il solito scapolone incallito che invece cede quasi subito, peró io ho sempre qualche difficoltá quando i due personaggi passano dal detestarsi a non potersi levare le mani di dosso.

The Pillars of Health: Building a Solid Wellness Foundation with Optimal Nutrition, Cognitive Fitness, Joyous Physical Motion, and Loving Compassion by John Pierre
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I keep reading these books that make it easy: go vegetarian, think positive and make a series of gymnastic exercises (both physically and mentally) every day, and you'll see that you'll be fine. The problem is that since I'm basically good even now, you gotta give me more motivation to give up mortadella ....

Continuo a leggere questi libri che la fanno facile: diventa vegetariano, pensa positivo e fai una serie di esercizi di ginnastica tutti i giorni, sia fisica che mentale e vedrai che starai bene. Il problema resta che siccome io sto tendenzialmente bene anche adesso, devi darmi una maggiore motivazione per riunciare alla mortadella....

Goodbye to All That: Writers on Loving and Leaving New York by Sari Botton (Editor)

Goodbye to All That: Writers on Loving and Leaving New York by Sari Botton

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Some of these stories are better than others, as always happens in anthologies, but all have in common the fact all the writers collected here, in the end,left New York. Between not so famous and famous people all in all a good collection, it's just that I do not really like the stories, because they last really too little ....

Alcuni di questi racconti sono meglio di altri, come sempre capita nelle antologie, ma tutti hanno in comune New York e il fatto che tutti gli scrittori qui raccolti, alla fine, da lí se ne sono andati. Tra esordi e gente famosa tutto sommato una buona raccolta, é solo che a me i racconti non piacciono molto, perché durano sempre troppo poco....

Mind-Body Workbook for Anger: Effective Tools for Anger Management and Conflict Resolution by Stanley H. Block, Carolyn Bryant Block

Mind-Body Workbook for Anger: Effective Tools for Anger Management and Conflict Resolution by Stanley H. Block
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Book rather clear and very schematic on anger management based on cognitive therapy and mindfulness along with some innovative ideas of the authors. Quite useful to defuse some beliefs, even of the people themselves, respect to anger as unmanageable.

Libro piuttosto chiaro e molto schematico sulla gestione della rabbia basato sulla terapia cognitiva assieme alla mindfulness e ad alcune idee innovative degli autori. PIuttosto utile per disinnescare alcune credenze, anche delle persone stesse, rispetto alla rabbia come ingestibile.

Writers Between the Covers: The Scandalous Romantic Lives of Legendary Literary Casanovas, Coquettes, and Cads by Joni Rendon

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is very interesting, well-written and full of curious informetion and provids a quick rundown on the life of the most famous writers and poets of the past 500 years, just do not be mislead by the title because it is the only thing "stupid " in the whole book, but I guess they chosed it to sell.

Questo libro é molto interessante, ben scritto e pieno di notizie curiose, oltre a fornire un rapido riassunto sulla vita degli scrittori e dei poeti piú famosi degli ultimi 500 anni, basta che non vi facciate fuorviare dal titolo che é l'unica cosa "stupida" di tutto il libro, ma immagino che lo abbiamo scelto per vendere a tutti.
