Tisdagstrion v.2 - Överst i min läshög

Nytt år och nya teman i Tisdagstrion. Den här upplagan av veckans Tisdagstrio från Ugglan och Boken skall innehålla böcker som är Överst i min läshög.

Denna månaden skall jag försöka få läst några av böckerna som jag är sugen på från förra årets Goodreads Choice Awards är det tänkt. Först ut är dessa tre:

The Spanish love Deception, Elena Armas

En bok om en fejkpojkvän på ett bröllop. I filmer brukar denna plot funka för mig, så kanske att en romancebok med samma tema kan få mig att gilla någon bok i denna genre, som oftast gör mig besviken.

A wedding in Spain. The most infuriating man. Three days to convince your family you're actually in love. . .

Catalina Martín desperately needs a date to her sister's wedding. Especially when her little white lie about her American boyfriend has spiralled out of control. Now everyone she knows – including her ex-boyfriend and his fiancée – will be there.

She only has four weeks to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic for her and aid in her deception. NYC to Spain is no short flight and her family won't be easy to fool. . . But even then, when Aaron Blackford – the 6'4", blue-eyed pain in the arse – offers to step in, she's not tempted even for a second. Never has there been a more aggravating, blood-boiling and insufferable man.

But Catalina is desperate and as the wedding gets closer the more desirable an option Aaron Blackford becomes. . .

For the Wolf,Hannah Whitten

Denna bok har jag redan börjat på och jag gillar de sagoteman den håller, ihop med en väldigt levande och närvarande natur. Jag känner rödluvan-vibbar, skönheten och odjuret-vibbar ihop med en prinsessa och en man (eller är han något annat) som är sur och purken och dålig på att kommunicera och det lockar mig oerhört.

For fans of Spinning Silver and The Bear and the Nightingale comes a dark, sweeping debut fantasy about a young woman who, to save her kingdom, must be sacrificed to the legendary Wolf of the Wood. But not all legends are true and the Wolf isn't the only danger lurking in the Wilderwood.

As the only Second Daughter born in centuries, Red has one purpose-to be sacrificed to the Wolf in the Wood in the hope he'll return the world's captured gods.

Red is almost relieved to go. Plagued by a dangerous power she can't control, at least she knows that in the Wilderwood, she can't hurt those she loves. Again.

But the legends lie. The Wolf is a man, not a monster. Her magic is a calling, not a curse. And if she doesn't learn how to use it, the monsters the gods have become will swallow the Wilderwood-and her world-whole.

Namesake, Adrienne Young

I höstas läste jag Fable som är första boken i den här duologin (?) och jag älskade den. Den handlar om en tjej som får klara sig själv bland råskinn och pirater och var helt min kopp av te i form av eskapism. Nu är jag redo att fortsätta ut på äventyr med den här boken.

Trader. Fighter. Survivor. With the Marigold ship free of her father, Fable and its crew were set to start over. That freedom is short-lived when she becomes a pawn in a notorious thug’s scheme. In order to get to her intended destination she must help him to secure a partnership with Holland, a powerful gem trader who is more than she seems. As Fable descends deeper into a world of betrayal and deception, she learns that the secrets her mother took to her grave are now putting the people Fable cares about in danger. If Fable is going to save them then she must risk everything, including the boy she loves and the home she has finally found.
