Maymee Flavor Of Love

IMM (Readers Circle) # 9

Second
magazine cover 2011 and devoted all of it to "The Lost Angel" by Javier Sierra. Of course after failing to go to the blogger's book presentation in Madrid and after reading good reviews of some of those that could go (although I confess I begin to see reviews not so good) I could not stay without it, although it save this for later.
Of course, to ask, I have entered into a drawing for dinner with the author in Santiago ha ha! and as I should be the first 100 people in order, I have been signed.
I was going to teach, but I honestly just put "Javier Sierra." May I say that counts! we have not seen the face of the first 100 members who have asked, and do not know our names, but I could have put something as typical as "wish you like it" or "I hope you enjoy reading " or whatever. It was a bit disappointed the truth.
If they had brought me last week, could have come to Vigo to complete a little more his dedication, but ... Could not be! Finally! Here are the pics of the IMM.

"Where are the children?" The question of German soldiers lost in the snowy mountains of the Pyrenees. The six boys and girls trying to escape occupied France have managed to outrun his pursuers, but now they are alone, abandoned to their fate. The cold and hunger began to harass and be organized.

FIND NOBODY (Chevy Stevens)
was in broad daylight. Annie O'Sullivan waited alone in the house to show it to prospective buyers, concerned about the recent argument with her mother, thinking her boyfriend ... and did not distrust of that last client until it was too late. At gunpoint, took her to a remote cabin in the mountains. For a year, that psychopath, which she called simply Monster, used it to carry out their dark fantasies. Bound by strict rules on how to dress and how to eat, his life became a nightmare in which every gesture false, any word could mean more violence and death. Annie was adapted to this strange world with one idea: to survive. But the end of the torture began a worse, when he discovered not only that his life had changed forever, but, perhaps, her captor had not chosen at random ...
