Free e-books (ovvero io adoro Amazon!)

Buona sera miei cari!
Oggi stavo bazzicando su Amazon in cerca di qualche lettura interessante e ho dato un' occhiata anche ai libri in lingua. Personalmente credo che leggere in lingua sia di grande aiuto, tiene in allenamento la nostra capacità di traduttori istantanei e arricchisce il lessico.

Ecco alcuni e-book che ho trovato e che mi sono procurata. Vi invito a provare a leggere in lingua, in fondo (per questa volta) non costa niente!

The Grimm Diaries (volume 1-6) di Cameron Jace

What if all you knew about fairy tales was wrong?

Warning: these Grimm Prequels are like snap shots of a magical land you're about to visit soon. I like to think of them as poisoned apples. Once you taste them, you will never see fairy tales in the same light again.This Grimm Diaries Prequels are a number of short books in the form of epistolary diary entries. The diaries are more of teasers for the upcoming series: The Grimm Diaries, allowing you to get a glimpse of what to expect of the series. The 6 diaries are told by The Evil Queen, Peter Pan, Little Red Riding Hood, the Devil, Prince Charming, and Alice Grimm 

The first book in the Series will be out soon, called SNOW WHITE SORROW. Series Description:

The Grimm Diaries are pages written in a Book of Sand, where each fairy tale character confessed the true stories once altered by the Brothers Grimm two centuries ago. To keep the truth about fairy tales hidden, the Brothers Grimm buried the characters in their dreams to never wake up again. But the curse is broken now, and the characters are allowed to wake up every one hundred years. They intend to tell the truth about really happened, and about an untold cosmic conflict between fairy tale characters.

Maya's Heart di Violet Nightfall

"Quando il mio incubo ebbe inizio, era inverno e pioveva a dirotto. Gli alberi mostravano senza pudore le teste spoglie, reclinandosi sulla strada come vecchi dormienti. A terra, un manto di foglie rosse, riportava l’immagine di un lago di sangue, doloroso dazio da pagare a ogni gelata. Odiavo l’inverno, il freddo che inaspettato ti coglie, una coperta gelata che rallenta ogni forma di vita, bloccandola un istante prima della morte... Stupidamente, addossavo la colpa di ciò che mi stava accadendo all’inverno e alla sventura che porta con sé; quando hai diciassette anni, non pensi che il mondo ti possa crollare addosso, che tutte le tue certezze possano venir spazzate via da una semplice folata di vento, eppure era proprio così. Logan, mio fratello maggiore, era scomparso da ben due giorni ma nessuno in paese lo cercava o si ricordava più di lui, nemmeno mia madre... come se non fosse mai esistito. Tutti lo avevano dimenticato, tutti tranne me... io non dimentico... mai!"
