Hello book-nerds, I'm a bit late, but here are the book I read in August.
I hadn't realise, I'd read so many book, to be honest, but it was a pretty nice month.
Synopsis:
This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d
have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded.
The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a
planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the
universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy
fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each
other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy
warship in hot pursuit.
But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken
out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be
protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say
what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the
truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the
ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak to again.
Synopsis:
Kell is one of the last Antari—magicians with a rare, coveted ability to
travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time,
Black.
Kell was raised in Arnes—Red London—and officially serves the Maresh
Empire as an ambassador, traveling between the frequent bloody regime changes
in White London and the court of George III in the dullest of Londons, the one
without any magic left to see.
Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for
even the smallest glimpses of a world they'll never see. It's a defiant hobby
with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand.
After an exchange goes awry, Kell escapes to Grey London and runs into
Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. She first robs him, then
saves him from a deadly enemy, and finally forces Kell to spirit her to another
world for a proper adventure.
Now perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save
all of the worlds, they'll first need to stay alive.
Synopsis:
I've found very little about private detective R. F. Jackaby to be
standard in the time I've known him. Working as his assistant tends to call for
a somewhat flexible relationship with reality . . .
In 1892, New Fiddleham, New England, things are never quite what they
seem, especially when Abigail Rook and her eccentric employer, R. F. Jackaby,
are called upon to investigate the supernatural. First, members of a
particularly vicious species of shape-shifters disguise themselves as a litter
of kittens. A day later, their owner is found murdered, with a single
mysterious puncture wound to her neck. Then, in nearby Gad's Valley, dinosaur
bones from a recent dig go missing, and an unidentifiable beast attacks animals
and people, leaving their mangled bodies behind. Policeman Charlie Cane, exiled
from New Fiddleham to the valley, calls on Abigail for help, and soon Abigail
and Jackaby are on the hunt for a thief, a monster, and a murderer.
Synopsis:
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is the story of Lara Jean, who has
never openly admitted her crushes, but instead wrote each boy a letter about
how she felt, sealed it, and hid it in a box under her bed. But one day Lara
Jean discovers that somehow her secret box of letters has been mailed, causing
all her crushes from her past to confront her about the letters: her first
kiss, the boy from summer camp, even her sister's ex-boyfriend, Josh. As she
learns to deal with her past loves face to face, Lara Jean discovers that
something good may come out of these letters after all.
>> I actually read all the three books in this series.
Synopis:
Rescued by Calvin McLoughlin from a would-be subway attacker, Holland
Bakker pays the brilliant musician back by pulling some of her errand-girl
strings and getting him an audition with a big-time musical director. When the
tryout goes better than even Holland could have imagined, Calvin is set for a great
entry into Broadway—until he admits his student visa has expired and he’s in
the country illegally.
Holland impulsively offers to wed the Irishman to keep him in New York,
her growing infatuation a secret only to him. As their relationship evolves from
awkward roommates to besotted lovers, Calvin becomes the darling of Broadway.
In the middle of the theatrics and the acting-not-acting, what will it take for
Holland and Calvin to realise that they both stopped pretending a long time
ago?
That's it!!
