Hva skal jeg lese denne uka?

Siden jeg ligger litt etter i romanceutfordringen jeg har meldt meg på og ikke har lenge igjen før datoen går ut, så blir dette en slags romance-måned selv om det IKKE er min favorittsjanger, men som sagt så skader det jo ikke å utvide horisonten litt. Og for å klare å lese 8 romance bøker innen 30 sep, må jeg øke lesingen litt og har tenkt å lese tre bøker i denne uka. (Det kan jeg jo bare drømme om), men det skalder jo ikke å prøve. Men skal lese litt thriller ved siden av, da for å veie opp litt.

Så disse bøkene har jeg planlagt å pløye meg gjennom denne uka:


 



You're next av Gregg Hurwitz







(Goodreads)

Mike Wingate, abandoned by his father at four and raised in foster care, is finally living the life he always dreamed of--he's happily married with a precocious 8-year-old daughter, and his construction company is about to finish a "green" housing development that will secure a solid future for them all. But then something from his own past, a past he doesn't even remember, comes back to visit terror upon him and his family.


Shady characters begin threatening Mike and, when he reports them, the police seem more interested in Mike's murky past than in protecting him. Now, with Mike, his wife Annabel and daughter Kat suddenly under attack from all sides, Mike turns to Shep, a dangerous man--and Mike's only true friend-- from his childhood days in foster care. Together they will do whatever it takes to protect Mike's family against the hidden men behind the terrifying warning, "You're Next."







Die for me av Amy Plum







(Goodreads)

In the City of Lights, two star-crossed lovers battle a fate that is destined to tear them apart again and again for eternity.

When Kate Mercier's parents die in a tragic car accident, she leaves her life--and memories--behind to live with her grandparents in Paris. For Kate, the only way to survive her pain is escaping into the world of books and Parisian art. Until she meets Vincent.

Mysterious, charming, and devastatingly handsome, Vincent threatens to melt the ice around Kate's guarded heart with just his smile. As she begins to fall in love with Vincent, Kate discovers that he's a revenant--an undead being whose fate forces him to sacrifice himself over and over again to save the lives of others. Vincent and those like him are bound in a centuries-old war against a group of evil revenants who exist only to murder and betray. Kate soon realizes that if she follows her heart, she may never be safe again.

In this incandescent debut, newcomer Amy Plum has created a powerful paranormal mythology with immortal revenants. The Paris setting comes enchantingly alive as a relentless struggle between good and evil takes place in its streets. Rich with romance, atmosphere, and thrills, Die for Me will leave readers breathlessly awaiting its sequel.




Fallen av Lauren Kate







(Goodreads)

There’s something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.

Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price’s attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.

Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce–and goes out of his way to make that very clear–she can’t let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her.




 

Dette er altså målet mitt denne uka, men om jeg kommer til å greie det er en annen sak. Men forhåpentligvis skal det vel gå greit. Jeg vil klare romance leseutfordringen selv om jeg startet litt i siste liten. Det er typisk meg å gjøre alt i siste liten selv om jeg har hatt god tid, men av og til så lærer jeg aldri :) Sånn er det bare ...

    Jeg er veldig spent på hva du vil synes om Fallen. Jeg hadde stor sans for den, men har lest litt varierende omtaler.

    Hehe...jeg føler jeg overgår meg selv :) Det er ikke ofte jeg leser to eller flere bøker i uka, men har tenkt å ta meg kraftig sammen så vi får se hvordan det går ;)
