Motorcycle accident

Today I'm going to write about me. I don't know what's happening to me these days but I'm just suffering from little bad accidents. A few days ago, I slide when I was going downstairs; another day I was collecting something from the floor in my grandparents attic and I crashed with the roof when I was standing up; I was doing silly things with my cousin in the street and I hurt my feet... I'm a disaster. But, on the top of all, today I had a motorcycle accident. In my town I sometimes drive a motorcycle to go to different places so today, when I got up, it was sunny and I thought I could go with motorcycle to a friend's house. It was all correct when I arrived there and I spent an hour with her. When I was about to leave, my friend's mother told me it had rained and that my motorcycle would be wet. She gave my a peace of paper to dry it and I did so. After that, I started driving back home and, when I was stopping because I had an automobile road sign, my motorbike's wheels slide and I fell. At first I was astonished because of that but immediately a partner who were on a car, helped me to stand up. I was ok. I just hurt a little bit my knee and my motorcycle was ok too. I thought I just felt because the road was wet and sliding is easy but it ended to be due to the road itself. The partner who had helped me before, explained me that just in front of the automobile road sign there is a place where the road had recently been painted and that could have caused my fall. And that was sure because then, I touched it with my shoe and it slide. So, the most probable thing is that, when I stopped with my motorbike I was just on that part and that made me fall. It could be because I may be a little bit bad at driving... I guess that's another option! But after all my recently "little accidents", I think I would probably walk carefully the following days, just in case I faell again! Right now I'm starting to notice the consequences of this last fall...

I know what you are thinking

As St.Jorge day is arriving, I've decided to write about books. Right now I've got plenty of them still waiting in my bedroom to be read because during school days I don't have much time to read and I'm still finishing one. Anyway, I've always liked going to bookshops and see what kind of new books arrive and which attract me. So I did so and I saw a new book from John Verdon, called "I know what you are thinking". I guess that like most of people, it attracted me firstly by the tittle and then, by the picture on the front page(which you can see in the photo). I didn't know any book by John Verdon and I think I only heard once from that book, but I didn't paid much attention. So I started reading the backpage and it really catch my attention. It's about a man who receives a little envelope which contains a letter. It suggests him to think of one number from 1 until 1000 and, when he does so, he opens the envelope and discovers that the number he thought is the one which was already written in the letter. After that, this man starts investigating with a policeman about who could be the author of the letter, but what at first seems a game and a joke, it ends being a criminal who knows what his victim is thinking.
Does it sound well to you? I like books which capture me from the first page so perhaps I'll buy it. But on the other hand, I get scared very easily so I don't know if I will be able to finish it. I will have to find out! I'll let you know it if I finally read it ;)

PS: "I know what you are thinking" it's the translation for "Sé el que estas pensant", in Catalan, but I think in English this book is called: "Think of a number".
