How Long Is Sausage Good For

[Reading Tips # 1] The series Heartbeat

Outside there is snow and I'm pretty plugged into the house, so what better time to brush up a bit 'of old books? And why not recommend them?
Today I picked up some books that I read when I was smaller, about 10:00 to 12:00 years ago, and since then have never stopped me dreaming. No, I'm not talking about Harry Potter, but for girls of ten novels in the series Heartbeat Edizioni EL.
Notice that the list below, I put money in the space of a finger, because on the Internet are not a lot of information and also the site of the publisher has removed them from the catalog, but if they found him on the tour, I recommend strongly to them, because they are really money well spent.
certainly not the stories are masterpieces of literature, but they are certainly more realistic and better described by many who are around now (and yes, I mean Moccia and company beautiful). These are stories that make you dream and think about how, in some cases, life is hard, but also very rewarding.
Before I lose in other glowing comments, I give you the number of bibliographic references.

I must say I really like all ten (a pity that they decided to discontinue the series because he deserved much more publicity, more attention from readers), but especially my favorite ... no, all, without exception. They are simple stories, maybe a little 'taken for granted, but as I said before, make you dream.
In conclusion, recommend them especially for girls who want to read something romantic, not very challenging and fast, leaving aside the different fashions that are the masters now. And who knows that if there is ever a good number of people who need them, not them ristampino, finally.
