Insignia
by S.J. Kincaid

Inhalt :

More than anything, Tom Raines wants to be important, though his shadowy life is anything but that. For years, Tom’s drifted from casino to casino with his unlucky gambler of a dad, gaming for their survival. Keeping a roof over their heads depends on a careful combination of skill, luck, con artistry, and staying invisible.

Then one day, Tom stops being invisible. Someone’s been watching his virtual-reality prowess, and he’s offered the incredible—a place at the Pentagonal Spire, an elite military academy. There, Tom’s instincts for combat will be put to the test and if he passes, he’ll become a member of the Intrasolar Forces, helping to lead his country to victory in World War III. Finally, he’ll be someone important: a superhuman war machine with the tech skills that every virtual-reality warrior dreams of. Life at the Spire holds everything that Tom’s always wanted—friends, the possibility of a girlfriend, and a life where his every action matters—but what will it cost him?

Over you
by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus
Inhalt :

When seventeen-year-old Max Scott got her heart broken she didn't just sit at home sobbing into her ice cream and obsessing over her ex, Hugo's, latest Facebook postings. Well, actually she did. But she also decided that no girl should have to be tortured like that, so she read through all the psych books, Oprah transcripts, and historical precedents she could get her hands on and came up with a foolproof program to get over being dumped.
These days, Max is the go-to guru for heartbroken high-school girls all over NYC. But when Hugo shows up in her neighborhood, suddenly Max is so busy trying to avoid her own ex that she isn't able to help anyone else with theirs. As Hugo invades her life all over again, Max's carefully controlled world starts to unravel. With her clients' hearts hanging in the balance, Max will have to do the seemingly impossible: get over her ex once and for all.

Ich habe ein paar englische Bücher gefunden, die mich ziemlich interessieren und die wollte ich natürlich nicht für mich behalten ! Ihr müsst auch davon erfahren !
Wie das intressiert euch nicht ?! Pff....
Von allen dreien könnte ich mir vorstellen, sie auf Englisch zu lesen und damit endlich auch zu den Englischlesern stoße. "Insignia" erscheint im November allerdings auf deutsch, das heißt, ich werde zu faul sein und mir die deutsche Ausgabe besorgen :D
Aber "Over you" wird definitiv angeschafft, weil das mein Favorit ist und noch nichtmal auf englisch erschienen ist :( Challenge accepted !

Was haltet ihr von meiner Auswahl ? Und habt ihr schon englische Bücher gelesen ?
