« Je m'appelle Fatima Daas. Je suis la mazoziya, la dernière. Celle à laquelle on ne s'est pas préparé. Française d'origine algérienne. Je suis musulmane. Une Clichoise qui passe plus de trois heures par jour dans les transports. Cette banlieusarde qui observe les comportements parisiens. Je suis une menteuse, une pécheresse. Adolescente, je suis une élève instable. Adulte, je suis hyperinadaptée. J'écris des histoires pour éviter de vivre la mienne. L'amour, c'était tabou à la maison, la sexualité aussi. Lorsque Nina a débarqué dans ma vie, je ne savais plus du tout ce dont j'avais besoin et ce qu'il me manquait. »

It's Christmas time and Holden Caulfield has just been expelled from yet another school... Fleeing the crooks at Pencey Prep, he pinballs around New York City seeking solace in fleeting encounters—shooting the bull with strangers in dive hotels, wandering alone round Central Park, getting beaten up by pimps and cut down by erstwhile girlfriends. The city is beautiful and terrible, in all its neon loneliness and seedy glamour, its mingled sense of possibility and emptiness. Holden passes through it like a ghost, thinking always of his kid sister Phoebe, the only person who really understands him, and his determination to escape the phonies and find a life of true meaning. The Catcher in the Rye is an all-time classic in coming-of-age literature- an elegy to teenage alienation, capturing the deeply human need for connection and the bewildering sense of loss as we leave childhood behind. J.D. Salinger's (1919–2010) classic novel of teenage angst and rebellion was first published in 1951. The novel was included on Time's 2005 list of the 100 best English-language novels written since 1923. It was named by Modern Library and its readers as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. It has been frequently challenged in the court for its liberal use of profanity and portrayal of sexuality and in the 1950's and 60's it was the novel that every teenage boy wants to read.

A professional baseball player and his heckler prove that true love is worth going to bat for.

Horrified, Daphne reaches out to Chris on social media to apologize . . . but forgets to identify herself as his heckler in her message.

When a DM from “Duckie” catches his eye, he impulsively messages back. Duckie is sweet, funny, and seems to understand him in a way no one else does.

Saoirse doesn’t believe in love at first sight or happy endings. If they were real, her mother would still be able to remember her name and not in a care home with early onset dementia. A condition that Saoirse may one day turn out to have inherited. So she’s not looking for a relationship. She doesn’t see the point in igniting any romantic sparks if she’s bound to burn out. But after a chance encounter at an end-of-term house party, Saoirse is about to break her own rules. For a girl with one blue freckle, an irresistible sense of mischief, and a passion for rom-coms. Unbothered by Saoirse’s no-relationships rulebook, Ruby proposes a loophole: They don’t need true love to have one summer of fun, complete with every cliché, rom-com montage-worthy date they can dream up—and a binding agreement to end their romance come fall. It would be the perfect plan, if they weren’t forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when it’s over, the characters actually fall in love… for real.

Med polishundar hack i häl leder spåren till människornas land … Äventyr, hemligheter och nervkittlande spänning blandas med samhällskritik och humor i den här unika barnromanen av årets mottagare av Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (ALMA), den franske författaren Jean-Claude Mourlevat. Juryn kallar honom en lysande förnyare av sagans traditioner och det är en träffsäker beskrivning av ett mångfacetterat författarskap som ständigt återkommer till stora berättelser, det vill säga berättelser som – precis som sagan – säger något om vad det innebär att vara människa.
