        Blind Date in Paris

        Wie sieht Liebe aus?

        by Gerstenberger, Stefanie; Martin, Marta

        Wanda hat keine Zeit für die Liebe - doch in den Straßen von Paris kommt alles ganz anders … Als sie dem geheimnisvollen Ken und seiner Labrador-Dame Barbie begegnet, ist Wanda verwirrt. Denn Ken versteht sie gleichsam ohne Worte. Dabei ist er blind! Das macht die Sache mit der Wolke Sieben ganz schön kompliziert: Wie verliebst du dich in jemanden, der dich noch nie gesehen hat? Wanda flieht aus ihrem Leben - verwirrt, ratlos und frustriert. Denn der Leistungssport hat neben der Schule ihre gesamte Zeit aufgefressen und ihren Blick dafür vernebelt, was wirklich wichtig ist. Wer ist Wanda eigentlich? Wie möchte sie sein? Und gibt es überhaupt ein Leben neben Schule und Sport? Wanda ahnt, dass ausgerechnet Ken, der unfassbar gut aussehende und unnahbare Junge, der ihr Herz so tief berührt, ihr all das zeigen kann. Und je näher sie sich auf den blinden Jungen einlässt, der immer wieder ihren Weg kreuzt, desto deutlicher zeigt er Wanda, wie schillernd, magisch und wunderschön Wandas Welt um sie herum ist. Doch Ken zeigt Wanda noch etwas ganz deutlich: Auch in sein Leben passt die Liebe nicht, und irgendetwas hat er vor ihr zu verbergen. Allerdings haben Wanda und Ken ihre Rechnung ohne das Schicksal gemacht … und das hält ganz schön viele Überraschungen für die beiden bereit! Der neue Feelgood-Roman des erfolgreichen Mutter-Tochter-Duos Stefanie Gerstenberger und Marta Martin - voller zauberhaftem Flair und Romantik! Diese überaus charmante Wohlfühl-Liebesgeschichte ist eine Hommage an Paris und das perfekte Schmökerfutter für alle Romantikerinnen und Jugendliche ab 12 bis 99 Jahren. Weitere gemeinsame Romane der Erfolgsautorinnen: „Zwei wie Zucker und Zimt - Zurück in die süße Zukunft“ „Muffins & Marzipan - Vom großen Glück auf den zweiten Blick“ „Summer Switch - Und plötzlich bin ich du!“ „Ava & der Junge in Schwarz-Weiß“

Auf einer Parkbank, die unter einer dicken alten Eiche steht und von der aus er einen freien Blick auf das Wasser hat, nimmt er Platz. Suchend blickt er sich um.

        Never Mind the Botox

        by Mitch Stansbury

        We, four suburban forty-somethings, had all but ignored live music, proper live music, for twenty years - The Banshees, Buzzcocks and The Smiths happened so long ago that they might have been in a different life. Live music now was a mum from Doncaster pretending to be the blonde one from Abba, and we needed help. Thankfully, it came, as our children found indie-rock, and demanded to see it up close. A night at Wembley with The Killers kick-started a five year odyssey of seventy nights, a hundred bands, and all of this – Superheroes in spandex, Viking Metallers in a strip-club, cross-dressing sax players, foam-parties, typewriter solos, half-eaten birds, demented babysitters, homicidal ticket-touts, terrifying body-art, the world’s laziest roadie, and of course, some dad-dancing. We’ve met an 80’s legend playing drums in a punk covers band, and been stalked by a masked man in a gay night-club. We’ve been derailed by the Pope, and insulted by a singer who then bought us all a drink, and even, briefly, had rock stars’ arse in our hands. Well, in my hands. Fleeting it may have been, but he hasn’t called, or even sent a text. Never Mind the Botox is a journey of mild, middle-aged rebellion, as once or twice a month, we try not to stand out in a crowd thirty years younger - we usually fail. Sometimes the children keep us company, others we leave them at home, but there is always, along the way, some fun to be had. And so what if we can’t hear the next morning. Old-people need rock’n’roll too.

        Åtte uker til jul

        by Lene Lauritsen Kjølner

        This is the first book in a new series - planned as a series of at least four.

"Petra Pettersen works in a book store. She is married to Einar, fisherman at Hvasser, and has two grown daughters. Its a safe and predictable life, but she is bored. Petra have a dream. She wants to work «with art", but dont know what exactly. Suddenly she experiences a Eureka moment. That occurs just after she baked her traditonal christmas-cake, and just before Einar begins to exercise, but is purely coincidential. Just when Petra thinks she lives under a black cloud, she suddenly see hope. But the plan is not perfect. After all: is the hunky lawyer as good as he seems? Is it wise to participate at a cookery course and dismantle wild boars just before christmas? And what does she really know about her daughters' life? A meeting in a wine cellar might just solve Petras complicated plan. Or maybe not? Perhaps it is aunt Bertha's wonderful Christmas cake that changes everything?"
