Variant av Robinson Wells (2011): handlingsreferatet får meg til å tenke på Gone av Michael Grant. Jeg er veldig nysgjerrig på denne og oppfølgeren kommer i oktober i år.Det er også litt ekstra spennende når det er en mannlig forfatter siden en overvekt av det jeg leser innen YA-bøker er av kvinnelige forfattere.
Benson Fisher thought that a scholarship to Maxfield Academy would be the ticket out of his dead-end life.Crewel av Gennifer Albin (2012). Denne kommer ikke før i oktober, og jeg hørte om den hos nevnte Bokelskerinnen. Det virker som om det er en slags dystopisk fantasy og ser veldig spennende og fascinerende ut.
He was wrong.
Now he's trapped in a school that's surrounded by a razor-wire fence. A school where video cameras monitor his every move. Where there are no adults. Where the kids have split into groups in order to survive.
Where breaking the rules equals death.
But when Benson stumbles upon the school's real secret, he realizes that playing by the rules could spell a fate worse than death, and that escape--his only real hope for survival--may be impossible. (Fra Goodreads)
Incapable. Awkward. Artless.Mystic River av Theo Lawrence (2012). Denne kommer også i oktober og ble også oppdaget hos Bokelskerinnen. Det er sc-fi og romantikk og anbefales til tilhengere av Matches, Hunger Games og X-man. Jeg sier ja takk til alt sammen!
That’s what the other girls whisper behind her back. But sixteen year-old Adelice Lewys has a secret: she wants to fail.
Gifted with the ability to weave time with matter, she’s exactly what the Guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen as a Spinster is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, eternal beauty, and being something other than a secretary. It also means the power to embroider the very fabric of life. But if controlling what people eat, where they live and how many children they have is the price of having it all, Adelice isn’t interested.
Not that her feelings matter, because she slipped and wove a moment at testing, and they’re coming for her—tonight.
Now she has one hour to eat her mom’s overcooked pot roast. One hour to listen to her sister’s academy gossip and laugh at her Dad’s stupid jokes. One hour to pretend everything’s okay. And one hour to escape.
Because once you become a Spinster, there’s no turning back. (Fra Goodreads)
Aria Rose, youngest scion of one of Mystic City's two ruling rival families, finds herself betrothed to Thomas Foster, the son of her parents' sworn enemies. The union of the two will end the generations-long political feud—and unite all those living in the Aeries, the privileged upper reaches of the city, against the banished mystics who dwell below in the Depths. But Aria doesn't remember falling in love with Thomas; in fact, she wakes one day with huge gaps in her memory. And she can't conceive why her parents would have agreed to unite with the Fosters in the first place. Only when Aria meets Hunter, a gorgeous rebel mystic from the Depths, does she start to have glimmers of recollection—and to understand that he holds the key to unlocking her past. The choices she makes can save or doom the city—including herself.Jeg har altså til oktober å lese videre i flest mulig serier så jeg kan begynne på disse med god samvittighet. I tillegg er det serier som Divergent, Incarceron og Song for Eirabu som allerede er nevnt flere ganger og som venter på meg i bokhyllen:-)
