Ma semaine lecture, ciné, séries, sorties...Semaines du 14 au 27 septembre 2015    Lectures Deux lectures très différentes sur les dernières semaines, tout d'abord Le diable, tout le temps de Donald Ray Pollock qui nous embarque en plein coeur des Etats-Unis, à suivre des personnages très particuliers, bien souvent détestables. Le début parait assez décousu, mais l'on devine assez rapidement que tous ces fils de vie tirés par l'auteur vont finir par se rejoindre. Même si je dois reconnaitre que l'ambiance est...

Ma semaine lecture, ciné, séries, sorties...Semaine du 7 au 13 septembre 2015    Lectures Peu de choses à raconter sur la semaine passée, si ce n'est que j'ai fini The Indigo Spell, 3ème tome de la saga Bloodlines de Richelle Mead, et que je ne me lasse pas de suivre les aventures de Sidney et Adrian dans ce spin-off de Vampire Academy. Au programme de ce tome : du danger, de la magie, de l'amour, des personnages qui évoluent... de quoi passer un excellent moment.   Séries Une semaine bien chargée, et surtout... [Lire la suite]

L'histoire : Harry Dresden, professional wizard, has done his best to keep his nose clean where the White Council of Wizards is concerned. Even so, his past misdeeds have cast a constant shadow of suspicion over him in the eyes of the Wardens, those wizards responsible for enforcing the Laws of Magic. Now Dresden finds himself faced with a nightmarish dilemma: Morgan, formerly his chief persecutor among the Wardens, has been wrongly accused of treason against the White Council - and has come to Harry for help. Dresden faces a... [Lire la suite]

L'histoire : Harry Dresden's life finally seems to be calming down. The White Council's war with the vampiric Red Court has reached a period of tentative peace, no one has tried to kill him for almost an entire year, and the worst problem he's had lately is working out how to remove the stains on his carpeting. For once, the future looks fairly bright.But the past casts one hell of a long shadow.An old bargain has placed Harry in debt to Mab, monarch of the Winter Court of the Sidhe, the Queen of Air and Darkness--and she's calling...

L'histoire : This time, when Harry Dresden gets a call from Murphy, it's off the record, because she has been demoted, things in SI are politically shaky, and the police have already declared a suicide. Once Harry gets a good look, though, the suicide is clearly a murder with magical intent. As he investigates, hoping as always to stop the killer before more die, evidence points to the worst possible suspect: his half brother. In another complicated case, there are a lot of very powerful players, and with the war between the White... [Lire la suite]

L'histoire : The White Council of Wizards has drafted Harry Dresden as a Warden and assigned him to look into rumors of black magic in Chicago. Malevolent entities that feed on fear are loose in the Windy City, but it's all in a day's work for a wizard, his faithful dog, and a talking skull named Bob. Mon avis : La plupart des sagas aux nombreux tomes finissent par s’essouffler ou toujours retomber dans les mêmes intrigues, réchauffant sans vergogne les effets efficaces. Les Dossiers Dresden évite avec brio ce travers,... [Lire la suite]

L'histoire : Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has continuously delighted readers, young and old, for more than a century. This classic tale, interpreted by many outstanding artists over the years, is a remarkable story of one little girl who embarks on possibly one of the most amazing adventures in literary history. Mon avis : Jusqu’ici, si l’on me disait Alice aux pays des merveilles, j’imaginais une jeune fille blonde avec une robe bleue, un lapin qui court et une affreuse Reine de Cœur hurlant à tout va...

L'histoire : Karin Murphy is the head of SI and Harry's good friend. So when a killer vampire threatens to destroy Murphy's reputation unless Harry does her bidding, he has no choice. The vampire wants the Word of Kemmler (whatever that is) and all the power that comes with it. Now Harry is in a race against time--and six merciless necromancers--to find the Word before Chicago experiences a Halloween night to wake the dead... Mon avis : Quel tome, mais quel tome ! Avec Dead Beat, Jim Butcher augmente encore l’addiction à sa... [Lire la suite]

Quatrième de couverture : For Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, there have been worse assignments than going undercover on the set of an adult film. Dodging flaming monkey-poo for instance. Or going toe-to-leaf with a walking plant monster. Still, there's something more troubling than usual about his newest case. The film's producer believes he's the target of a sinister entropy curse - but it's the women around him who are dying, in increasingly spectacular ways.Harry's even more frustrated because he only got...

Quatrième de couverture : Landon Carter would never have dreamed of asking Jamie Sullivane out, but a twist of fate throws them together. In the months that follow, Landon breaks down Jamie's natural reserve and begins to get to know her - and to fall in love. But then he discovers that Jamie has a reason for not letting people close - a secret that will break his heart. Mon avis : Nicholas Sparks fait partie de ces auteurs de romance contemporaine que je voulais découvrir, et je dirais même plus, une fois le livre fermé, qu’il... [Lire la suite]
