¡Buenos días! ♥
Sé que he vuelto a estar TOTALMENTE out del blog... y es que estoy out en general XD No solo estoy hasta arriba con el TFG (que se va retrasando y retrasando y retrasando la fecha en la que pienso hacer la defensa LOL para que veáis lo hasta arriba de todo que ando) sino que encima estoy de mudanza. ¿Habéis estado alguna vez de mudanza? Si es que sí, entenderéis lo coñazo que es y la cantidad de tiempo que exige el proceso :(
Así que... para poder ir haciendo algo de mientras con el blog, he decidido volver a los Book Blitz, y probablemente alguna que otra sección como los Lunes musicales o alguna de esas, siempre y cuando tenga tiempo para actualizar :D
Autora: Erin Hayes
Saga: Falling in Deep Collection #10 (*)
Fecha de publicación: 7 de julio de 2015
Géneros: Fantasía, Juvenil
All Tara ever wanted was to be a mermaid.
So she takes a year off between high school and college to don a fake tail and tour aquariums across the country in a professional mermaid troupe.
Everything’s great until she meets a gorgeous real-life merman named Finn. Suddenly, what she thought was a dream turns out to be a nightmare — she’s turning into a mermaid herself. For real.
Yet when she returns to the sea to seek out Finn and reverse her transformation, she finds herself in the middle of an impending war between the land and sea. Tara may have always wanted to be a mermaid, but now it’s sink or swim. In order to survive, she has to learn how to be one, too.
Lo único que Tara había deseado en su vida era ser una sirena.
Así que se toma un año sabáito entre el instituto y la universidad para poonerse una cola falsa e ir de tour con una troupe de sirenas profesionales por los acuários de todo el país.
Todo va bien hasta que conoce a un guapísimo y real tritón llamado Finn. De repente, lo que ella pensaba que era un sueño se convierte en una pesadilla: ella se está conviertiendo en una sirena. De verdad.
Y cuando va al mar a buscar a Finn e invertir su transformación, se encuentra a sí misma en medio de una inminente guerra entre la tierra y el mar. Puede que Tara haya querido siempre ser una sirena, pero ahora es hundirse o nadar (okay, esto queda mejor en inglés y en castellano pierde la gracia XD "sink or swim"). Para sobrevivir, tendrá que aprender cómo ser una sirena.

Extracto
Anyone who ever bragged about being a good public speaker never had to do it in front of more than thirty kids and their parents while wearing a bikini top and a mermaid tail.
I’d spent the night before in our hotel room preparing my answers, and I still wasn't ready. I was sitting on a chair in the rotunda of the Houston Aquarium, looking out into a sea of faces and I’d never felt more self-conscious in my life. My friend and fellow mermaid, Christine, stood to my right, a little bit behind me with a few volunteers and ushers from the aquarium to help out.
Every single eye was on me, and a barrage of questions came at me from all directions. I've performed our water ballet many times before, although this was the first time I was face-to-face with a crowd. I was a dancer, not a spokesperson.
As a result, my first meet and greet as a professional mermaid was receiving a lot of scrutiny from a bunch of kids under the age of eight.
“How are you on land?”
“Do you swim with whales?”
“Why isn't your hair red like Ariel's?”
“How old are you?”
“How did you become a mermaid?”
My answers didn't make much sense because my nerves were getting the best of me. Throw me in the water, and I can make you believe that mermaids are real. Expect me to entertain a bunch of kids like this, and I drown.
“I was carried here by my helpers, that's how I'm on land. Sometimes I swim with Beluga whales... I have dark hair, while Ariel dyes hers. I just turned eighteen, and I've wanted to be a mermaid since I was a little girl...”
My voice trailed off as I realized that my last answer gave too much away, by nearly admitting that we weren't real mermaids. Christine shot me a concerned look, like I'd raised the curtain too much and these kids would be able to see behind it.
“What Mermaid Tara means is, she's so glad to be a mermaid,” Christine said with a warm smile. She was a bit older than me, in her early thirties, and she was a good mentor for my first two months on the job.
The kids seemed to take her at her word, and my secret that I'd had a normal human childhood was safe.
Yet, despite Christine's save, what I'd said was true.

♥ Sorteo ♥
(*) Aclaro el tema de la "saga" para que nadie se asuste, y para que a los que os gustan las historias de sirenas y tritones os animéis a participar XD Esta "saga" es una colección de libros INDEPENDIENTES y de distintos autores sobre sirenas (obviamente). Se está publicando este verano, desde junio, si no me equivoco, pero como os digo no tienen que ver entre sí. Si os gustan estos temas y buscáis algún libro nuevo, os aconsejo que miréis los de esta colección a ver si alguno os interesa :)
Bien, este libro me interesa porque he leído muy poco sobre sirenas y creo que son temas que dan juego -aunque por supuesto suelen tener varios tópicos XD-. En español pocos de estos libros se han publicado, pero en inglés hay varios que tientan muchísimo (Of Poseidon de Anna Banks es genialosísimo XD).
¡Nos leemos! ♥
