Puisque nous avons désormais notre petit coin lecture, je me suis dit qu'il était dommage de ne pas en profiter pour faire partager nos lectures du moment - ici, des livres en anglais qui n'ont pas encore été traduits et publiés en France. Bit-lit, policiers, dystopies, chik-lit, ... libre à vous d'ajouter les romans qui vous ont marqué et que vous aimeriez bien voir un jour dans les librairies de notre hexagone.
Alors je commence par mes derniers coups de coeur:
The Body Finder (Tome 1) - Kimberly Derting
Genre: fantastique
Violet Ambrose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret ability. While the sixteen-year-old is confused by her new feelings for her best friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her "power" to sense dead bodies—or at least those that have been murdered. Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes that the dead leave behind in the world... and the imprints that attach to their killers.
Violet has never considered her strange talent to be a gift; it mostly just led her to find the dead birds her cat had tired of playing with. But now that a serial killer has begun terrorizing her small town, and the echoes of the local girls he's claimed haunt her daily, she realizes she might be the only person who can stop him.
Despite his fierce protectiveness over her, Jay reluctantly agrees to help Violet on her quest to find the murderer—and Violet is unnerved to find herself hoping that Jay's intentions are much more than friendly. But even as she's falling intensely in love, Violet is getting closer and closer to discovering a killer... and becoming his prey herself.
Hunting Lila (Tome 1) - Sarah Alderson
Genre: fantastique
17-year-old Lila has two secrets she's prepared to take to the grave. The first is that she can move things just by looking at them. The second is that she's been in love with her brother's best friend, Alex, since forever. Or thereabouts.After a mugging on the streets of South London goes horribly wrong and exposes her unique ability, Lila decides to run to the only people she can trust - her brother and Alex. They live in Southern California where they work for a secret organisation called The Unit, and Lila discovers that the two of them are hunting down the men who murdered her mother five years before. And that they've found them. Trying to uncover the truth of why her mother was killed, and the real remit of The Unit, Lila becomes a pawn in a dangerous game. Struggling to keep her secrets in a world where nothing and no one is quite as they seem, Lila quickly realises that she is not alone - there are others out there just like her - people with special powers -and her mother's killer is one of them...
The Unbecoming Of Mara Dyer (Tome 1) - Michelle Hodkin
Genre: fantastique
Mara Dyer doesn't think life can get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there.
It can.
She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her mysteriously unharmed.
There is.
She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love.
She's wrong.
Catching Jordan - Miranda Kenneally
Genre: jeunes adultes
What girl doesn't want to be surrounded by gorgeous jocks day in and day out? Jordan Woods isn't just surrounded by hot guys, though - she leads them as the captain and quarterback on her high school football team. They all see her as one of the guys, and that's just fine. As long as she gets her athletic scholarship to a powerhouse university. But now there's a new guy in town who threatens her starring position on the team... and has her suddenly wishing to be seen as more than just a teammate.
La série des "How To Ruin..." - Simone Elkeles
Genre: jeunes adultes
Moshav? What’s a moshav? Is it “shopping mall” in Hebrew? I mean, from what Jessica was telling me, Israeli stores have the latest fashions from Europe. That black dress Jessica has is really awesome. I know I’d be selling out if I go with the Sperm Donor to a mall, but I keep thinking about all the great stuff I could bring back home.
Unfortunately for 16-year-old Amy Nelson, “moshav” is not Hebrew for “shopping mall.” Not even close. Think goats, not Gucci.
Going to Israel with her estranged Israeli father is the last thing Amy wants to do this summer. She’s got a serious grudge against her dad, a.k.a. “Sperm Donor,” for showing up so rarely in her life. Now he’s dragging her to a war zone to meet a family she’s never known, where she’ll probably be drafted into the army. At the very least, she’ll be stuck in a house with no AC and only one bathroom for seven people all summer—no best friend, no boyfriend, no shopping, no cell phone…
merci cachou mais le coin de lecture est réservé aux membres qui choisissent un ebook poster (en français) sur le forum et viennent en débattre entre eux
Il n'y a guère au monde un plus bel excès que celui de la reconnaissance.
Désolée, je pensais que cette nouvelle section avait justement été créée pour parler des livres en général, et pas forcément ceux postés sur EBG. Merci d'avoir transféré le message dans la bonne section.
pour ma part je lis les suites des séries qui ont commencé à être publiées en français (comme les Anita Blake, les Rachel Vincents...) mais qui ne sortent généralement qu'une fois part ans (je n'aime pas attendre pour savoir la suite..)
Cela me fait doucement (très doucement même) progresser en anglais
