Jag vet att jag är väldigt frånvarande från bloggen just nu, men det händer ju så mycket att jag blir helt virrig i hela huvudet. Men ska försöka läsa ut en bok nu snart, så då kommer en recension och allt.. Men idag, några böcker jag längtar efter:
At fourteen, Nick Gautier thinks he knows everything about the world around him. Streetwise, tough and savvy, his quick sarcasm is the stuff of legends. . .until the night when his best friends try to kill him. Saved by a mysterious warrior who has more fighting skills than Chuck Norris, Nick is sucked into the realm of the Dark-Hunters: immortal vampire slayers who risk everything to save humanity.
Nick quickly learns that the human world is only a veil for a much larger and more dangerous one: a world where the captain of the football team is a werewolf and the girl he has a crush on goes out at night to stake the undead.
But before he can even learn the rules of this new world, his fellow students are turning into flesh eating zombies. And he’s next on the menu.
As if starting high school isn't hard enough. . .now Nick has to hide his new friends from his mom, his chainsaw from the principal, and keep the zombies and the demon Simi from eating his brains, all without getting grounded or suspended. How in the world is he supposed to do that?
Zombies vs. Unicorns av ett flertal författare, bl.a. Holly Black, Cassandra Clare, Scott Westerfeld, Meg Cabot och Libba Bray:
It's a question as old as time itself: which is better, the zombie or the unicorn? In this anthology, edited by Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier (unicorn and zombie, respectively), strong arguments are made for both sides in the form of short stories. Half of the stories portray the strengths—for good and evil—of unicorns and half show the good (and really, really bad-ass) side of zombies. Contributors include many bestselling teen authors, including Cassandra Clare, Libba Bray, Maureen Johnson, Meg Cabot, Scott Westerfeld, and Margo Lanagan. This anthology will have everyone asking: Team Zombie or Team Unicorn?
The Vampire Stalker av Allison van Diepen:
What if the characters in a vampire novel left their world--and came into yours?
Amy is in love with someone who doesn't exist: Alexander Banks, the dashing hero in a popular series of vampire novels. Then one night, Amy meets a boy who bears an eerie resemblance to Alexander. In fact, he IS Alexander, who has escaped from the pages of the book and is in hot pursuit of a wicked vampire named Vigo. Together, Amy and Alexander set out to track Vigo and learn how and why Alexander crossed over. But when she and Alexander begin to fall for each other, Amy wonders if she even wants him to ever return to the realm of fiction.

Vill också läsa Infinity! :D
SvaraRaderaTalade med en annan författare igår, om vampyrer och zombies och varulvar. Ingen av oss hade nånsin varit på det, jag tappar det så fort jag ser hörntänder. Varför vet jag inte, har verkligen försökt. Läste första Twilight, ville veta vad alla snackar om. Gillade den jättemycket! Men snälla Malin, förklara för mig, vad är det som gör att den här genren så stor. Och all respekt, inget förakt, bara massor av nyfikenhet och intresse.
SvaraRaderaMå bäst!
Lina: Oj... Det var faktiskt en väldigt bra fråga! Jag vet faktiskt inte. Eller, jag vet att jag gillar det eftersom jag gillar att försvinna in i sådant som inte någonsin kommer hända på riktigt. Vampyrer och zombies är sånt som bara finns i böcker och på teve/film, och jag antar att det är därför man dras till det. Jag har alltid haft väldigt stor fantasi och ända sedan jag var liten har jag på nåt sätt hoppats att det finns någonting utöver det vanliga där ute. Jag älskar böcker utan övernaturligt i också, såklart. Men det är någonting med dessa varelser, man kan fly någon annanstans och man vet aldrig vad som dyker upp eftersom det är så långt ifrån normalt att vad som helst kan faktiskt hända. Vet inte om detta var en särskilt bra förklaring, alla har väl olika anledningar. Men det är vad som gör att jag dras till det :)
