Personligen har jag alltid föredragit inbundna böcker, dels för att de håller bättre, men framför allt för att det är så snyggt! Men på senare tid har jag insett att jag har underskattat det här med pocket, häftade och dansk-band (som häftade, men med flikar som man kan vika in och använda som bokmärke) - det är ju faktiskt himla praktiskt! Dessutom är det betydligt billigare och ska man ge bort böcker i julklapp kan man ju då passa på att köpa till exempel häftade böcker, så har man råd att köpa två :) - Liten parentes bara :)
Hur som helst.
Idag är det alltså dags för mitt fjärde och sista julklappstips och idag hade jag tänkt tipsa om några olika fantasy- och paranormal-böcker som ingår i serier. Bara för att det är så trevligt med serier :)
Born at Midnight (Shadow Falls #1) - C.C. HunterOne night Kylie Galen finds herself at the wrong party, with the wrong people, and it changes her life forever. Her mother ships her off to Shadow Falls - a camp for troubled teens, and within hours of arriving, it becomes painfully clear that her fellow campers aren't just "troubled". Here at Shadow Falls, vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, witches and fairies train side by side - learning to harness their powers, control their magic and live in the normal world.
Kylie's never felt normal, but surely she doesn't belong here with a bunch of paranormal freaks either. Or does she? They insist Kylie is one of them, and that she was brought here for a reason. As if life wasn't complicated enough, enter Derek and Lucas. Derek's a half-fae who's determined to be her boyfriend, and Lucas is a smokin' hot werewolf whom Kylie shares a secret past. Both Derek and Lucas couldn't be more different, but they both have a powerful hold on her heart.
Even though Kylie feels deeply uncertain about everything, one thing is becoming painfully clear - Shadow Falls is exactly where she belongs..

Hex Hall (Hex Hall #1) - Rachel HawkinsThree years ago, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father - an elusive European warlock- only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters.
By the end of her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard: three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock, a creepy tagalong ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person and only vampire student on campus. Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect.
As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her.

Unearthly (Unearthly #1) - Cynthia Hand
Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy.
Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place - and out of place at the same time. Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side.
As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to make - between honesty and deceit, love and duty, good and evil. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny?
Unearthly is a moving tale of love and fate, and the struggle between following the rules and following your heart.
Hallowed (Unearthly #2) - Cynthia Hand

At that moment everything she knows of her world is a lie, and she must leave the present and go into the past assume the role she was put on this earth for, safeguarding her ancient empire amidst evil forces that toil hastily to destroy it.

Sacrifice (The Descendants #2) - Mayandree Michel

Personligen är jag mest sugen på den första serien Shadow Falls, men även Hex Hall verkar bra :)
På tal om serier och mjuka böcker (häftat i det här fallet) kan jag passa på att berätta att jag börjat läsa första delen i The Mortal Instruments serien: City of Bones, som ni kanske har sett, och jag är helt fast! Mitt mål är att läsa ut den till i morgon, men förmodligen är det mer troligt att det blir till på tisdag. I vilket fall som helst är det galet bra än så länge :D
