[In My Mailbox] #19 + Ich bin wieder da!

Hallo ihr Lieben!
Ich bin ganz frisch aus dem Urlaub zurück. Gut erholt und schön gebräunt, trotz 3 Tage Schietwetter gegen Ende ;).

Neue Bücher kamen auch schon an (allerdings letzte Woche). Folgenedes erwartet mich bzw. hat mich erwartet:

Nicholas Sparks - The Lucky One (Für immer der Deine)

100 Bücher Challenge

ABC Challenge

BuchVerfilmung Challenge

Inhalt (lt. goodreads.com): When U.S. Marine Logan Thibault finds a photograph of a smiling young woman half-buried in the dirt during his third tour of duty in Iraq, his first instinct is to toss it aside. Instead, he brings it back to the base for someone to claim, but when no one does, he finds himself always carrying the photo in his pocket. Soon Thibault experiences a sudden streak of luck—winning poker games and even surviving deadly combat that kills two of his closest buddies. Only his best friend, Victor, seems to have an explanation for his good fortune: the photograph—his lucky charm.
Back home in Colorado, Thibault can’t seem to get the photo—and the woman in it—out of his mind. Believing that she somehow holds the key to his destiny, he sets out on a journey across the country to find her, never expecting the strong but vulnerable woman he encounters in Hampton, North Carolina—Elizabeth, a divorced mother with a young son—to be the girl he’s been waiting his whole life to meet. Caught off guard by the attraction he feels, Thibault keeps the story of the photo, and his luck, a secret. As he and Elizabeth embark upon a passionate and all-consuming love affair, the secret he is keeping will soon threaten to tear them apart—destroying not only their love, but also their lives.

Ellen Hopkins - Burned 

100 Bücher Challenge

Inhalt (lt. goodreads.com): It all started with a dream. Nothing exceptional, just a typical fantasy about a boy, the kind of dream that most teen girls experience. But Pattyn Von Stratten is not like most teen girls. Raised in a religious -- yet abusive -- family, a simple dream may not be exactly a sin, but it could be the first step toward hell and eternal damnation. This dream is a first step for Pattyn. But is it to hell or to a better life? For the first time Pattyn starts asking questions. Questions seemingly without answers -- about God, a woman's role, sex, love -- mostly love. What is it? Where is it? Will she ever experience it? Is she deserving of it? It's with a real boy that Pattyn gets into real trouble. After Pattyn's father catches her in a compromising position, events spiral out of control until Pattyn ends up suspended from school and sent to live with an aunt she doesn't know. Pattyn is supposed to find salvation and redemption during her exile to the wilds of rural Nevada. Yet what she finds instead is love and acceptance. And for the first time she feels worthy of both -- until she realizes her old demons will not let her go. Pattyn begins down a path that will lead her to a hell -- a hell that may not be the one she learned about in sacrament meetings, but it is hell all the same.

Sara Gruen - Water for Elephants
dt. Titel: Wasser für die Elefanten

Challenges:

• 100 Bücher Challenge
• ABC Challenge

Inhalt (amazon.de): 
Water for Elephants is the story of Jacob's life with this circus. Sara Gruen spares no detail in chronicling the squalid, filthy, brutish circumstances in which he finds himself. The animals are mangy, underfed or fed rotten food, and abused. Jacob, once it becomes known that he has veterinary skills, is put in charge of the "menagerie" and all its ills. Uncle Al, the circus impresario, is a self-serving, venal creep who slaps people around because he can. August, the animal trainer, is a certified paranoid schizophrenic whose occasional flights into madness and brutality often have Jacob as their object. Jacob is the only person in the book who has a handle on a moral compass and as his reward he spends most of the novel beaten, broken, concussed, bleeding, swollen and hungover. He is the self-appointed Protector of the Downtrodden, and... he falls in love with Marlena, crazy August's wife. Not his best idea.

Das schwierigste Kunststück: die Liebe zu finden. Amerika 1931, die Wirtschaftskrise hat das Land fest im Griff. Da kann der junge Tierarzt Jacob Jankowski von Glück reden, als ihm ein Job beim Zirkus angeboten wird. Auch wenn es ein sehr bescheidener Zirkus ist: Nicht einmal einen Elefanten gibt es. Dafür eine wunderschöne Kunstreiterin. Doch Marlena ist verheiratet mit dem wahnsinnigen Dompteur. Irgendwann findet sich doch eine, wenn auch sehr eigensinnige Elefantendame. Keiner kann mit Rosie umgehen – bis Jacob ihr Geheimnis enthüllt. Und als sich gerade alles zum Guten zu wenden scheint, nimmt eine Tragödie ihren Lauf

Zwei Bücher kamen vergangene Woche an. Damit ich wieder schön viel zu lesen habe! :)

e. lockhart - Real Live Boyfriends (Ruby Oliver 4/4)

Challenges:

100 Bücher Challenge

Serien Challenge

Inhalt (lt. goodreads.com): Ruby Oliver is in love. Or it would be love, if Noel, her real live boyfriend, would call her back. But Noel seems to have turned into a pod-robot lobotomy patient, and Ruby can’t figure out why.
Not only is her romantic life a shambles:
Her dad is eating nothing but Cheetos,
Her mother’s got a piglet head in the refrigerator,
Hutch has gone to Paris to play baguette air guitar,
Gideon shows up shirtless,
And the pygmy goat Robespierre is no help whatsoever.

Will Ruby ever control her panic attacks?
Will she ever understand boys?
Will she ever stop making lists?
(No to that last one.) 
Roo has lost most of her friends. She’s lost her true love, more than once. She’s lost her grandmother, her job, her reputation, and possibly her mind. But she’s never lost her sense of humor. The Ruby Oliver books are the record of her survival.

Ally Condie - Matched (Matched 1/3)

Challenges:

100 Bücher Challenge

Serien Challenge

Inhalt (lt. goodreads.com): Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate... until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.

The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

Sooo...heute kam endlich die nötige amazon-Bestellung an. Dabei sind folgende Bücher:

Kerstin Gier - Saphirblau
Challenges: 100 Bücher Challenge, Serien-Challenge

Inhalt: Frisch verliebt in die Vergangenheit, das ist keine gute Idee. Das zumindest findet Gwendolyn, 16 Jahre alt, frisch gebackene Zeitreisende. Schließlich haben sie und Gideon ganz andere Probleme. Zum Beispiel die Welt zu retten. Oder Menuett tanzen zu lernen. (Beides nicht wirklich einfach!) Als Gideon dann auch noch anfängt, sich völlig rätselhaft zu benehmen, wird Gwendolyn klar, dass sie schleunigst ihre Hormone in den Griff bekommen muss. Denn sonst wird das nichts mit der Liebe zwischen allen Zeiten!


e. lockhart - The Treasure Map of Boys
Challenges: 100-Bücher-Challenge, Serien-Challenge

Inhalt: Ruby is back at Tate Prep, and it’s her thirty-seventh week in the state of Noboyfriend. Her panic attacks are bad, her love life is even worse, and what’s more:
Noel is writing her notes, Jackson is giving her frogs, Gideon is helping her cook, and Finn is making her brownies. Rumors are flying, and Ruby’s already-sucky reputation is heading downhill.
Not only that, she’s also: running a bake sale, learning the secrets of heavymetal therapy, encountering some seriously smelly feet, defending the rights of pygmy goats, and bodyguarding Noel from unwanted advances.

Melina Marchetta - Saving Francesca
Challenges: 100-Bücher-Challenge

Inhalt: Francesca is stuck at St. Sebastians, a boys' school that's pretends it's coed by giving the girls their own bathroom.  Her only female companions are an ultra-feminist, a rumored slut, and an an impossibly dorky accordion player.  The boys are no better, from Thomas who specializes in musical burping to Will, the perpetually frowning, smug moron that Francesca can't seem to stop thinking about.
Then there's Francesca's mother, who always thinks she knows what's best for Francesca—until she is suddenly stricken with acute depression, leaving Francesca lost, along, and without an inkling who she really is.  Simultaneously humorous, poignant, and impossible to put down, this is the story of a girl who must summon the strength to save her family, her social life and—hardest of all—herself

In My (Birthday)-Mailbox #14

Ich melde mich zurück aus dem Osterurlaub! Ich hatte eine schöne Zeit und habe nun einiges für euch in Petto!
Zuerst möchte ich euch über meine Buchgeschenke zu meinem Geburtstag letzte Woche berichten.
Von meiner Schwester bekam ich folgendes Buch:

Meg Cabot - Every Boy's Got One
Inhalt: 
To: Jane Harris Fr: Claire Harris Re: You
Hi, honey It's me, Mom. I know it's a big secret that your friend Holly and her boyfriend Mark are eloping in Italy, and that you and Mark's friend Cal Langdon (the handsome New York Journal reporter with the big book deal) are going, too, as their witnesses. But I just saw Holly's mother at the Kroger Sav-On, and I thought I'd warn you: She doesn't seem to like Mark very much at all. Just wanted to let you know.
PS I don't understand why you don't like that nice Cal Langdon He seemed so smart when I saw him being inte viewed on Charlie Rose. And so handsome
PPS Don't forget to wear a sweater
Cartoonist Jane Harris is delighted by the prospect of her first-ever trip to Europe. But it's hate at first sight for Jane and Cal Langdon, and neither is too happy at the prospect of sharing a villa with one another for a week--not even in the beautiful and picturesque Marches countryside. But when Holly and Mark's wedding plans hit a major snag that only Jane and Cal can repair, the two find themselves having to put aside their mutual dislike for one another in order to get their best friends on the road to wedded bliss--and end up on a road themselves ... one neither of them ever expected.

Wahrscheinlich eine sehr leichte Lektüre, aber ich mag Meg Cabot's Schreibstil. Und manchmal ist doch so ein lustiges Buch entspannend zwischen den ganzen Dystopien ;)


Und von meinen Freunden bekam ich diese schnieke Box....

TADAAA!! Ich freue mich wirklich wahnsinnig darauf Harry Potter auf Englisch zu lesen (ja Asche auf mein Haupt, ich habe es noch nicht im original gelesen).

Zeit für neue Bücher!! Diese sind heute bei mir eingetrudelt und warten darauf gelesen zu werden.

e. lockhart - The Boybook (Ruby Oliver #2)
Challenges:
*100-Bücher Challenge
*Serien-Challenge

Inhalt: Here is how things stand at the beginning of newly-licensed driver Ruby Oliver's junior year at Tate Prep:
 • Kim: Not speaking. But far away in Tokyo.
 • Cricket: Not speaking.
 • Nora: Speaking--sort of. Chatted a couple times this summer when they bumped into each other outside of school--once shopping in the U District, and once in the Elliot Bay Bookstore. But she hadn't called Ruby, or anything.
 • Noel: Didn't care what anyone thinks.
 • Meghan: Didn't have any other friends.
 • Dr. Z: Speaking.
 • And Jackson. The big one. Not speaking.
But, by Winter Break, a new job, an unlikely but satisfying friend combo, additional entries to The Boy Book and many difficult decisions help Ruby to see that there is, indeed, life outside the Tate Universe.

Challenges:
*100 Bücher-Challenge

But the old Lena is dead too.
I buried her.
I left her beyond a fence,
behind a wall of smoke and flame.

Nicht exakt in meinem Briefkasten, sondern in meinen Päckchen waren diese Bücher versteckt. Kurz: Diese Bücher habe ich zu Weihnachten bekommen:

Lauren Oliver - Delirium
Inhalt (lt. goodreads.com): Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn’t understand that once love -- the deliria -- blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the government demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy.
But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love.

Stephen Chbosky - The perks of being a wallflower
Inhalt (lt. goodreads.com):

Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it, Charlie is navigating through the strange worlds of love, drugs, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", and dealing with the loss of a good friend and his favorite aunt.
 

E. Lockhart - The Boyfriend List (#1)
Inhalt (Buchdeckel): Ruby Oliver is 15 and has a shrink. She knows it’s unusual, but give her a break—she’s had a rough 10 days. In the past 10 days she:
lost her boyfriend (#13 on the list),
lost her best friend (Kim),
lost all her other friends (Nora, Cricket),
did something suspicious with a boy (#10),
did something advanced with a boy (#15),
had an argument with a boy (#14),
drank her first beer (someone handed it to her),
got caught by her mom (ag!),
had a panic attack (scary),
lost a lacrosse game (she’s the goalie),
failed a math test (she’ll make it up),
hurt Meghan’s feelings (even though they aren’t really friends),
became a social outcast (no one to sit with at lunch)
and had graffiti written about her in the girls’ bathroom (who knows what was in the boys’!?!).
But don’t worry—Ruby lives to tell the tale. And make more lists.

Heute morgen kam ganz früh die amazon-Sendung mit den Büchern, die ich am Samstag bestellt hatte :)
Hier sind sie:

Ann Brashares - Sisterhood Everlasting

Inhalt: Despite having jobs and men that they love, each knows that something is missing: the closeness that once sustained them. Carmen is a successful actress in New York, engaged to be married, but misses her friends. Lena finds solace in her art, teaching in Rhode Island, but still thinks of Kostos and the road she didn’t take. Bridget lives with her longtime boyfriend, Eric, in San Francisco, and though a part of her wants to settle down, a bigger part can’t seem to shed her old restlessness.

Justin Cronin - The Passage
Inhalt: Amy Harper Bellafonte ist sechs Jahre alt und ihre Mutter glaubt, sie ist die wichtigste Person in der ganzen Welt. Das ist richtig. Anthony Carter glaubt nicht, dass er jemals an einen schlimmeren Ort als Death Row geraten könnte. Das ist falsch. FBI Agent Brad Wolgast glaubt, das etwas Unvorstellbares passieren wird. Und das ist wieder richtig...

So. Erstmal eine kleine Entschuldigung, dass ihr so lange nicht mehr von mir gehört habt. Ich bin ein bisschen im Stress wegen der Abiturvorbereitung, nicht auf das Abitur selbst, das habe ich schon geschrieben, sondern alles drumherum. Das wird sich auch so schnell nicht ändern.

So. Ich habe meinen Mayersche-Gutschein eingelöst und folgendes dafür ausgesucht:


Maureen Johnson - 13 Little Blue Envelopes

Inhalt (goodread.com): When Ginny receives thirteen little blue envelopes and instructions to buy a plane ticket to London, she knows something exciting is going to happen. What Ginny doesn't know is that she will have the adventure of her life and it will change her in more ways than one. Life and love are waiting for her across the Atlantic, and the thirteen little blue envelopes are the key to finding them in this funny, romantic, heartbreaking novel.

Jodi Picoult - My Sister's Keeper

Inhalt (goodread.com): Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate -- a life and a role that she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister -- and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves. 

Kristen Tracy - Lost It
