[ewa.p]

albo musiała napisać w przyspieszonym tempie,napisała właściwie konspekt,dopisała trochę dialogów,dodała migdalenia się i oddała do wydawcy.Szkoda,ta książka mogła być prawdziwym hitem

[•Sol•]

mogło tak być, na kolanie pisała i zmarnowała sobie bestseller.
Boli mnie najbardziej to że książek o Luizjanie w wykonaniu Norki są dwie z czego jedna spiiikieprzczona, a ja lubię jej klimaty.

[Duzzz]

A ja znowu lubię Księżyc nad Karoliną Nawet bardzo, wracałam do niej często, nawet przez pół roku głowiłam się co też to było, bo tytułu nie pamiętałam, jedynie skojarzenie, że jakaś czarna okładka Filmu nie znoszę, ale książkę lubię... Zawsze duże wrażenie robi na mnie wiek sprawcy

[joakar4]

Lil, a czy przypadkiem tej serii nie wydawał Amber jeszcze? Bo na nich to bym nie liczyła.

ta Plaża to u nas wyjdzie czy tylko oryginalnie można czytać?

[tartugirl]

OMG, dzięki za info, joakar, na stronach G+J na pewno bym nie szukała nowej Nory. Bardzo szybko, Świat Książki notował niemal roczne opóźnienia w pojedynczych tytułach. Ciekawe, co w takim razie ze Świadkiem?

Też dobrze ją wspominam, ale może powinnam jeszcze raz przyjrzeć się jej z bliska... Mniej więcej pamiętam, o czym była.


Na nową też się cieszę. Tylko kiedy ja to przeczytam?

[Lilia ❀]

Whiskey Beach - dobrze, że ta książka wychodzi u nas w czerwcu, bo to lektura odpowiednia na letnie posiedzenie w ogrodzie/plaży/balkonie, wygrzewanie się i odprężenie z kawałem porządnej lektury. A ta książka taka jest. Czytając ją miałam wrażenie zwolnienia czasu, pogrążenia się w lekturze.
Eli, cóż to za imię dla mężczyzny? Po dziadku. Przez starszych nazywany młodszym Eli. Mężczyzna robiący karierę adwokata, żonaty z piękną kobietą, pochodzący z bogatej, kochającej się rodziny. Wszystko pięknie jak na obrazku, ale takie nie jest, gdy rozsypuje mu się małżeństwo. Żona żąda rozwodu, chce go oskubać. On czuje się winny, że nie mógł jej uszczęśliwić. Coś mu nie gra i wynajmuje detektywa, który odkrywa, że żona go zdradza, prawie od roku. Idzie do jej miejsca pracy i robi jej awanturę, grozi, że niczego od niego nie wyciągnie. Po pracy wraca do ich wspólnego domu, z którego się wyprowadził po trzy rzeczy, które należały do jego rodziny od pokoleń. Nie chce, by żona je sprzedała. Chodzi mu głównie o pierścionek babci. Wchodząc do biblioteki znajduje martwe ciało swojej żony. Dzwoni na policję.
I tak się zaczyna. Zostaje głównym podejrzanym, traci pracę i reputację, główny śledczy traktuje go jak wroga publicznego, szkaluje, śledzi. Uwziął się i jest wściekły, bo nie może znaleźć dowodów.
Rok później zdarza się wypadek, babcia spada ze schodów w swoim domu na skarpie na wyspie Whiskey Beach, która od pokoleń należy do rodziny. Babcią zajmują się rodzice Eliego, on sam zamieszkuje na wyspie, by zajmować się domem i wrócić do równowagi psychicznej. Przyjeżdża wychudzony, prawdziwy wrak człowieka. I spotyka Abrę. Kobieta-orkiestra, która zajmuje się sprzątaniem i gotowaniem w domu. I nie tylko. Dziewczyna po ciężkich przejściach, odcięła się od poprzedniego życia i zbudowała nowe na wyspie, całkiem odmienne od poprzedniego. Pomaga wyjść z depresji Eliemu, daje siłę, by walczył o swoje dobre imię i znalazł zabójcę żony.

W książce mamy wszystko to, co lubimy u Nory. Przystojnego mężczyznę (tego chce się przytulać i nie puszczać), do tego autora książek (właśnie pisze pierwszą powieść), piękną, niezależną kobietę, fajną rodzinkę z super babcią, oddanych przyjaciół, sielskie spotkania w pubie, zagadkę kryminalną, a nawet dwie (jedna z przeszłości) oraz psa imieniem Barbie.
Bardzo fajna lektura nie na raz, nie dwa. Można wracać, gdy ma się ochotę na coś spokojnego, ale trzymającego w napięciu.

[•Sol•]

Lil, jeśli nie miałabym ochoty na tę książkę wcześniej, to Twoja recenzja by mnie do niej niesamowicie zachęciła. Muszę przeczytać i muszę mieć. Koniecznie i nieodwołalnie.

Ja też się już nie mogę doczekać

I ja

Lilio Fajnie, że dołączyłaś taki spis (Chciałam dać plusiki, ale nie mogę, niestety )

[Księżycowa Kawa]

Ten spis robi wrażenie.

[Lilia ❀]

Jest aktualny.

spis rewelacja. Aż mnie znów korci sięgnięcie po Norkę

[Księżycowa Kawa]

Sięgnęłam po "Teraz i na zawsze" i stwierdzam, że jest to naprawdę urokliwa i klimatyczna opowieść. Ciekawie opisane małomiasteczkowe życie i właśnie do mnie dotarło, że im tam wszystko tak dobrze się układa, że nie ma ani słowa o kryzysie finansowym – okazuje się, że wystarczy mieć pomysł i brać się za jego realizację, a wszystko będzie dobrze. W zasadzie niewiele tam się dzieje – głównie kwestie związane z remontem, ale to zastało tak zgrabnie przedstawione. W ogóle ten cały remont tak ładnie wpisuje się w akcję, że wyjątkowo dobrze to się czyta. Podoba mi się też to, jak pierwsze małżeństwo Clare zostało zaprezentowane, nieczęsto to się zdarza. Po prostu świetnie wyszło.

Wiesz, że to na faktach? Nora remontowała hotel w Boonsboro, syn prowadzi pizzerię, jest też siłownia, a księgarnia należy do męża Nory, gdzie są spotkania autorskie.

Dziewczyny, widziałyście już gdzieś Jedyną i wspaniałą? Empik nie ma, gdański Koliber też, czyżby omsknięcie?

[Lilia ❀]

w księgarni Prószyńskiego dostępna, na Allegro widziałam.
czekam z zakupem na koniec maja, gdy wyjdzie Kleypas. zakupię taniej, za jedną przesyłką u Prószyńskiego.

[•Sol•]

na allegro też widziałam, ale nie patrzyłam czy mają w przedsprzedaży czy już posiadają książki w magazynie, dlatego pytam czy może ktoś widział już fizyczną książkę
Najbardziej uśmiechałby mi się Koliber i z Roberts i z Kleypas, tam nie muszę za przesyłkę płacić, a cenowo też wychodzi fajnie bo średnio dycha mniej niż okładkowa cena.

Czytałam na ten temat wcześniejszych postach i zdaje się, że gdzieś narzekano, że Roberts zrobiła zbyt nachalną reklamę - osobiście z tym się nie zgadzam, powiedziałabym, że nawet fajnie i zgrabnie to wyszło. I gdyby było mnie stać, chętnie zobaczyłabym to na własne oczy.

Dziewczyny, widziałyście już gdzieś Jedyną i wspaniałą? Empik nie ma, gdański Koliber też, czyżby omsknięcie?

Fizycznie nie, ale matras twierdzi, że u nich powinna być już dzisiaj, zaś Weltbild, że od trzynastego albo nawet nie podaje się daty i tylko jest informacja, że wkrótce...
