New entry in my E-shelf # 2

 

È una rubrica ideata da me, in uscita la seconda domenica del mese, in cui vi mostro tutte le mie nuove entrate in edizione digitale del mese appena trascorso.

Allooora...anche se con una settimana di ritardo ecco che vi presento le mie entrate digitali del mese :) Pure questa stavolta si tratta solo di libri in lingua, di cui: uno è un acquisto, due li ho vinti ad un mini giveaway organizzato da Veronica nel corso della reading challenge che tiene sul suo bolg e due li ho richiesti su NetGalley, a cui mi sono iscritta a fine settembre grazie all'aiuto (e alla pazienza!) di Juliette ;D Stavolta niente novelle quindi vi presento direttamente i cinque libri.

Ps. Spero non vi dispiaccia ma per oggi mi limiterò ad inserire semplicemente le trame in lingua. Ho ancora il cervello in "modalità-vacanza-dopo-il-troppo-uso" e non ho proprio la forza di tradurle tutte in italiano :(

BOOKS:

(The Chronicles of Altaica, #1)

Autore: Tracy M. Joyce

Editore: Odyssey Books

Prezzi: QUI

Pagine: 302

Trama: Isaura – little is known about her race, but much is whispered. Born to refugees, she grows up enduring racism and superstition within a community that fears her. She has few friends, and those she treasures. Trapped, she longs for escape to a different life. 

Escape is only the beginning of her troubles. Having fled an invading army with her friends, Isaura is faced with heinous choices in order to survive. Secrets from her past emerge to torment her and threaten to destroy all she holds dear. Her struggles forge a bond with an ancient power – a power which may transform or consume her. Old hatreds and superstitions are renewed and at her most vulnerable she learns the true nature of those around her.

Her only hope lies in a foreign land – a land rich in tradition; ruled by three powerful clans. A land with a history marked by warfare; where magic as we know it does not exist. Instead what is here, in abundance, is a more primal power.
Survival carries a high price.

(The Hundred #1)

Autore: Kass Morgan

Editore: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

Prezzi: QUI

Pagine: 323

Trama: In the future, humans live in city-like spaceships orbiting far above Earth's toxic atmosphere. No one knows when, or even if, the long-abandoned planet will be habitable again. But faced with dwindling resources and a growing populace, government leaders know they must reclaim their homeland... before it's too late.

Now, one hundred juvenile delinquents are being sent on a high-stakes mission to recolonize Earth. After a brutal crash landing, the teens arrive on a savagely beautiful planet they've only seen from space. Confronting the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community. But they're haunted by their past and uncertain about the future. To survive, they must learn to trust - and even love - again.

Questi solo le due richieste che ho fatto su NetGalley: "Altaica" non lo avevo mai visto prima, ma dopo averne letto la trama non ho potuto fare a meno di richiederlo. Mi intriga troppo =D. "The 100" invece lo avevo adocchiato da un po', ma non sono andata a leggere recensioni quindi non so proprio cosa aspettarmi da questa lettura...  

(The Assassin's Curse #1)

Autore: Cassandra Rose Clarke

Editore: Strange Chemistry

Prezzi: QUI

Pagine: 320

Trama: Ananna of the Tanarau abandons ship when her parents try to marry her off to another pirate clan. But that only prompts the scorned clan to send an assassin after her. When Ananna faces him down one night, armed with magic she doesn't really know how to use, she accidentally activates a curse binding them together. 

To break the spell, Ananna and the assassin must complete three impossible tasks--all while grappling with evil wizards, floating islands, haughty manticores, runaway nobility, strange magic...and the growing romantic tension between them.

Volevo questo libro da una vita!!! Avevo letto una recensione su qualche blog l'anno scorso, ma stupidamente non mi segnai il titolo e ovviamente piano piano me ne sono dimenticata. Poi, per fortuna Nymeria è venuta in mio soccorso ;D Il mese scorso ha pubblicato la recensione sul suo blog e la mia memoria si è risvegliata di colpo. Come potevo lasciarmelo sfuggire di nuovo?!?

Trama: When Grace meets Ian she's afraid. Afraid he'll reject her like the rest of the school, like her own family. After she accuses the town golden boy of rape, everyone turns against Grace. They call her a slut and a liar. But...Ian doesn't. He's funny and kind with secrets of his own.

But how do you trust the best friend of the boy who raped you? How do you believe in love?

A gut-wrenching, powerful love story told from alternating points of view by the acclaimed author of Send.

Trama: Senior year is over, and Lucy has the perfect way to celebrate: tonight, she's going to find Shadow, the mysterious graffiti artist whose work appears all over the city. He's out there somewhere—spraying color, spraying birds and blue sky on the night—and Lucy knows a guy who paints like Shadow is someone she could fall for. Really fall for. Instead, Lucy's stuck at a party with Ed, the guy she's managed to avoid since the most awkward date of her life. But when Ed tells her he knows where to find Shadow, they're suddenly on an all-night search around the city. And what Lucy can't see is the one thing that's right before her eyes

Questi ultimi due libri che vi mostro, sono invece quelli che ho vinto. entrambi di genere contemporaneo e autoconclusivi. Sono curiosissima di leggere entrambi :)

E voi che mi dite? Tra questi ne avete letto qualcuno, o vorreste metterli in wishlist?
