Litt nye bøker til bokhyllen!

Den siste boken i Vampire Academy serien.

Charlie is a freshman.

And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it.

Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mix tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But he can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. /Goodreads/






It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him. The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted imply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features. Winston made for the stairs. It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times it was seldom working, and at present the electric current was cut off during daylight hours. It was part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate Week. The flat was seven flights up, and Winston, who was thirty-nine and had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle, went slowly, resting several times on the way. On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran. /goodreads.com/

Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath. Now she's returned--to her old life, her family, her boyfriend--before she's banished back to the underworld . . . this time forever. She has six months before the Everneath comes to claim her, six months for good-byes she can't find the words for, six months to find redemption, if it exists.

Nikki longs to spend these precious months forgetting the Everneath and trying to reconnect with her boyfriend, Jack, the person most devastated by her disappearance--and the one person she loves more than anything. But there's just one problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who enticed her to the Everneath in the first place, has followed Nikki home. Cole wants to take over the throne in the underworld and is convinced Nikki is the key to making it happen. And he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back, this time as his queen.

As Nikki's time on the Surface draws to a close and her relationships begin slipping from her grasp, she is forced to make the hardest decision of her life: find a way to cheat fate and remain on the Surface with Jack or return to the Everneath and become Cole's queen. /Goodreads/  Kostet bare 50kr

When Sergeant Hallie Michaels comes back to South Dakota from Afghanistan on ten days' compassionate leave, her sister Dell's ghost is waiting at the airport to greet her.

The sheriff says that Dell's death was suicide, but Hallie doesn't believe it. Something happened or Dell's ghost wouldn't still be hanging around. Friends and family, mourning Dell's loss, think Hallie's letting her grief interfere with her judgment.

The one person who seems willing to listen is the deputy sheriff, Boyd Davies, who shows up everywhere and helps when he doesn't have to. 

As Hallie asks more questions, she attracts new ghosts, women who disappeared without a trace.  Soon, someone's trying to beat her up, burn down her father's ranch, and stop her investigation. Hallie's going to need Boyd, her friends, and all the ghosts she can find to defeat an enemy who has an unimaginable ancient power at his command. /goodreads/  50kr!

Disse bøkene var jeg heldig å få i posten av forlag: 

En fantastisk fortelling om en kvinne med et stort hjerte. Historien om Lilly Bere strekker seg over syv tiår – fra depresjonen via andre verdenskrig og Vietnamkrigen, frem til slutten av 1900-tallet.

Vi får høre om Lillys flukt fra Irland og IRA til USA, om det brutale drapet på forloveden, om kjærligheten som dukker opp på nytt og forsvinner igjen, om Lilly som strever for å forsørge seg selv og sin sønn, og om sønnen som overlever Vietnamkrigen, men som forsvinner på sin ferd tilbake til USA. /Schibsted/

Etter fire rystende år på vestfronten, vender Tom Sherbourne hjem til Australia og får seg jobb som fyrvokter på Janus Rock, en halv dags seilas fra land. Til denne isolerte øya, hvor forsyningsbåten kommer en gang i sesongen, tar Tom med seg sin kone Isabel.

Årene går, og bringer med seg en stadig tyngre sorg over to spontanaborter og en dødfødt baby. En dag hører Isabel spedbarnsgråt. En båt har drevet i land, med en død mann og hans levende datter om bord.

Den alltid ryddige og nøyaktige Tom, en mann som ikke har latt fire år i en skrekkelig krig gå ut over hans egne moralske prinsipper, vil avlegge rapport om mannen og babyen umiddelbart. Men Isabel har trykket det lille barnet til sitt bryst. Han går med på å beholde barnet, som de kaller Lucy. Når Lucy er to år gammel, vender den lille familien tilbake til fastlandet og blir minnet på at det finnes andre mennesker i verden. Deres valg har knust ett av dem. /Schibsted/
