Wicked Lies (Men of Summer, #2) by Lora Leigh

Wicked Lies by Lora Leigh

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Nice plot Mrs. Leigh, this time there are less sex scenes but the story is so much better compared to the first novel in this series, and Jazz is a nicer character as Slade. Kiki is also a tough woman, with everything she has gone trough and it was good that in the end they can finally get together.

Bella storia Sig. Leigh, stavolta c'é un po' meno sesso e molta piú trama paragonato al primo volume di questa serie e inoltre Jazz mi é sempre stato piú simpatico di quel cavernicolo di Slade. Anche Kiki é una tosta, voglio dire, dopo quello che ha passato, e sono stata contenta che alla fine sono potuti tornare assieme.

The Tokyo Zodiac Murders by Soji Shimada

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great story, well written and enjoyable even if at the beginning it was not so easy to follow with all these similar Japanese names.

Bella storia, ben scritta e godibile anche se all'inizio é stata difficile da seguire per via dei nomi giapponesi che si somigliano un po' tutti.

Review: Devil in Disguise

Devil in Disguise by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Merrit and Keir are not only a great couple, but also the direct descendants of some of my old favorite marriages so I could hardly not like one of the books that derives, more or less directly, from the Wallflowers and allows me to meet them again!

Merrit e Keir sono non solo una bella coppia, ma anche i diretti discendenti di alcune delle mie famiglie preferite, quindi difficilmente potrebbe non piacermi uno dei libri che deriva, piú o meno direttamente, dalle Wallflowers e mi permette di incontrarle di nuovo!

I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.

The Warden by Anthony Trollope

The Warden by Anthony Trollope
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was my first Trollope and it was not so easy to read. Maybe it was because the plot was really boring even if I can imagine the function of this book was to introduce us to the people of Barchester, still it was not easy to finish it even if it was only 200 pages long.

Questo é stato il mio primo Trollope e ammetto di averlo sofferto parecchio. Non so se sia stata colpa della trama che era veraente noiosa ed abbastanza esile, ma magari questo volume aveva solo lo scopo di introdurci i personaggi di Barchester. Se anche fosse questo il motivo ho arrancato per tutte le 200 pagine del libro, che non sono mica poi tante.

Loving Lies (Men of Summer, #1) by Lora Leigh

Loving Lies by Lora Leigh
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

A very little story and a lot, really a lot, of steamy sex. Lora Leigh at her best.

La storia é veramente minima, ma c'é proprio tanto tanto sesso. Lora Leigh al suo meglio.

The Professor by Charlotte Brontë

The Professor by Charlotte Brontë
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I usually love classics, and the Brontë sisters are some of my favorite authors, but this book was soooo long and boring that it was hard to read it. Thanks God the pages were only 222 but I really suffered trough them all.

Di solito i classici mi piacciono molto e le sorelle Brontë sono tra le mie autrici preferiti, ma questo libro....ho sofferto ogni singola pagina delle 222, che per fortuna non erano tante, ma la noia mi ha quasi ucciso.

Hannah and the Highlander (Untamed Highlanders, #1) by Sabrina York

Hannah and the Highlander by Sabrina York

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I usually read about highlander fighting against Britain, but this book is set in the middle of 1800 so it's an altogether different story and it's nice and well written, so it was fun.

Di solito, i libri con gli Highlander sono ambientati nel periodo (piuttosto lungo tra l'altro) in cui combattevano contro i Britanni, questo invece é ambientato nella metá del 1800 e quindi é una storia completamente diversa, carina e ben scritta, quindi é stata una piacevole lettura.

The Highwayman (Victorian Rebels #1) by Kerrigan Byrne

The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked this book, it was well written and the characters different from the usual victorian/regency novels. She is an heiress but doesn't act and live like one and he is an honorable highwayman so it was a different nice reading.

Mi é piaciuto questo libro perché era ben scritto ed i personaggi non erano i soliti che popolano questo tipo di libri. Lei per quanto un'ereditiera non vive né si comporta come una di loro, mentre lui é un deliquente con un grande senso dell'onore, quindi é stata una lettura diversa.

Bride to Be by Jane Ashford

Bride to Be by Jane Ashford

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This story was nice and easy to read, the characters have a good chemistry between each other and even the plot to murder Richard was not bad.

Questa storia é stata divertente e i protagonisti avevano una buona chmica tra di loro, inoltre il mistero di chi volesse uccidere Richard non era male.

Review: Being You: A Science of Consciousness

Being You: A Science of Consciousness by Anil Seth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have been reading books on conscience for a long time because it has always been a subject that has particularly interested me since, long ago, I found myself almost by chance at a lecture by Giulio Tononi. Since then I think I have read quite a lot and I particularly appreciated the clear way in which this book illustrates both medical and philosophical theories and above all the excursus into the future and the "risk" of artificial intelligence.

Leggo da tempo libri sulla coscienza perché é sempre stato un argomento che mi ha particolarmente interessato, da quando, in tempi non sospetti, mi ritrovai quasi per caso ad una conferenza di GIulio Tononi. Da quel momento credo di aver letto parecchio e di questo libro ho apprezzato particolarmente il modo chiaro di illustrare teorie sia mediche che filosofiche e soprattutto l'excursus nel futuro ed il "rischio" delle intelligenze artificiali.

Review: The Practice of Not Thinking: A Guide to Mindful Living

The Practice of Not Thinking: A Guide to Mindful Living by Ryūnosuke Koike
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Although I have read many books on Mindfulness in all its various forms, this book, which combines it in a very clear way with Zen Buddhism, remains one of my favourites, although one of the least applicable, at least as far as I am concerned. Definitely one of the texts in which theory is much easier than practice....

Per quanto abbia letto molti libri sulla Mindfulness in tutte le sue varie declinazioni, questo libro che la unisce in modo molto chiaro al buddismo zen, resta uno dei miei preferiti per quanto uno dei meno applicabili, almeno per quanto mi riguarda. Decisamente uno dei testi nei quali la teoria é molto piú facile della pratica....
