Nya YA-boksläpp 15/10 - 21/10

Beta (Annez, #1) - Rachel Cohn


Elysia is created in a laboratory, born as a sixteen-year-old girl, an empty vessel with no life experience to draw from. She is a Beta, an experimental model of a teenage clone. She was replicated from another teenage girl, who had to die in order for Elysia to exist. 

Elysia's purpose is to serve the inhabitants of Demesne, an island paradise for the wealthiest people on earth. Everything about Demesne is bioengineered for perfection. Even the air induces a strange, euphoric high, which only the island's workers--soulless clones like Elysia--are immune to. 
At first, Elysia's life is idyllic and pampered. But she soon sees that Demesne's human residents, who should want for nothing, yearn. But for what, exactly? She also comes to realize that beneath the island's flawless exterior, there is an under-current of discontent among Demesne's worker clones. She knows she is soulless and cannot feel and should not care--so why are overpowering sensations cloud-ing Elysia's mind? 

If anyone discovers that Elysia isn't the unfeeling clone she must pretend to be, she will suffer a fate too terrible to imagine. When her one chance at happi-ness is ripped away with breathtaking cruelty, emotions she's always had but never understood are unleashed. As rage, terror, and desire threaten to overwhelm her, Elysia must find the will to survive. 


Crewel (Crewel World #1) - Gennifer Albin


Incapable. Awkward. Artless.

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.

Vill läsa

Agnes: Crewel och Beta är jag riktigt nyfiken på. Ashen Winter, Two an Twenty Dark Tales, Out of Reach och Losing It är jag också väldigt sugen på att läsa. 

Frida: Den här veckan är jag mest intresserad av Beta och Crewel. Har väntat på dem en mindre evighet känns det som ^^ Är rätt så nyfiken på The Innocents, The Shadow Society, Out of Reach, Break My Heart 1000 Times och novellsamlingen Two and Twenty Dark Tales också, men de kan vänta ett tag. Har så många andra böcker jag hellre läser först, men de hamnar på min to-read-list i alla fall.  

Finast omslag

Agnes: Den här veckan är det faktiskt väldigt få omslag som jag gillar, men de som jag tycker är fina är framför allt Beta och Crewel. 

Frida: Crewel! Åh, så fint det är. Älskar färgerna och "virvlarna". Gillar Betas omslag också. Snygga färger där med. 

Vill inte läsa

Agnes: Toxic, Starstruck och Sanctum är jag inte det minsta nyfiken på...

Frida: Hidden, eftersom jag inte alls är intresserad av House of Night-serien. Är inte särskilt intresserad av Toxic, Alpha Moon och Sanctum heller. 

Fulast omslag

Agnes: Toxic, Alpha Moon och Starstruck har verkligen riktigt tråkiga omslag.

Frida: Sanctum, Alpha Moon, Toxic, Starstruck, Hidden... Hm, ganska få omslag som jag gillade den här gången faktiskt.
