Ahoj,
vítejte u nového článku, kde se podíváme na filmy, respektive na film,
na který se v lednu těším. Ačkoliv rok 2017 si pro nás připravil spoustu
filmových premiér, leden je na ně trošku chudíš a z nabídky jsem si
vybrala pouze jeden film. A ještě je tady ta komplikace, že je natočen
podle knihy, kterou jsem samozřejmě ještě nečetla. Takže si ji budu
muset nejprve přečíst a teprve pak se podívat na film, což znamená, že
se to trošku protáhne a čistě teoreticky bych ten film mohla vidět… hm,
tak za pár let? Docela realistická představa. Tušíte, o jaký film se
jedná?
Ahoj,
vítejte u nového článku. Sice bych se právě teď měla učit, ale co,
tohle je skvělá výmluva, proč to odložit. Dneska bych vám ráda ukázala
svoji TBR na rok 2017. Ta loňská mi sice úplně nevyšla, ale letos bych
se chtěla polepšit a opravdu přečíst všechny knihy, které mám na
seznamu. Je tam více žánrů, spousta různých autorů. Některé knihy mám už
doma, jiné se možná dokoupí, tak mi držte palce, ať se mi to povede :)
Ahoj,
vítejte u nového článku. Jak jsem slíbila, tak tady máme pokračování
lednových knižních novinek, tentokrát se podíváme na ty české. Těch už
sice není tolik, ale i tak se tady něco najde. Zatím nevím, jestli si
nějakou z nich koupím, protože chci začít troch ušetřit a na druhou
stranu mám ještě spoustu knižních restů, které chci koupit, takže
uvidíme, jak to dopadne.
Ahoj,
vítejte u nového článku. Dneska jsem si pro vás připravila přehled
knižních novinek za leden. A jelikož jich je tentokrát opravdu hodně,
tak jsem to rozdělila na dvě části - tato obsahuje pouze anglické knihy,
ty české budou buď dneska večer, nebo během zítřka, uvidím, jak to
stihnu. Jinak jsem taky trošku upravila formát článku - místo toho,
abych ke každé knize psala nějaký svůj komentář, což je časově dost
vyčerpávající a stejně k tomu nemám moc co říct, když jsem knihu ještě
nečetla, jsem vám všude dala základní informace a anotaci, takže si ji
můžete přečíst a zjistit, jestli se vám nějaká kniha líbí :). Anotace
jsou ale v originále, kdybych je měla všechny překládat, tak byc se z
toho zbláznila. Tolik k úvodu, pojďme se podívat na ty knihy.

At
the edge of the Russian wilderness, winter lasts most of the year and
the snowdrifts grow taller than houses. But Vasilisa doesn't mind-she
spends the winter nights huddled around the embers of a fire with her
beloved siblings, listening to her nurse's fairy tales. Above all, she
loves the chilling story of Frost, the blue-eyed winter demon, who
appears in the frigid night to claim unwary souls. Wise Russians fear
him, her nurse says, and honor the spirits of house and yard and forest
that protect their homes from evil.
After Vasilisa's mother dies, her father goes to Moscow and brings home a new wife. Fiercely devout, city-bred, Vasilisa's new stepmother forbids her family from honoring the household spirits. The family acquiesces, but Vasilisa is frightened, sensing that more hinges upon their rituals than anyone knows.
And indeed, crops begin to fail, evil creatures of the forest creep nearer, and misfortune stalks the village. All the while, Vasilisa's stepmother grows ever harsher in her determination to groom her rebellious stepdaughter for either marriage or confinement in a convent.

Oficiální anotace (EN): A heartbroken girl. A fierce warrior. A hero in the making.
Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. Now, the Winterians' only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter's magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since.
Orphaned as an infant during Winter's defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee, raised by the Winterians' general, Sir. Training to be a warrior-and desperately in love with her best friend, and future king, Mather - she would do anything to help her kingdom rise to power again.
So when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter's magic, Meira decides to go after it herself. Finally, she's scaling towers, fighting enemy soldiers, just as she's always dreamed she would. But the mission doesn't go as planned, and Meira soon finds herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics - and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own.
