Upcoming Book Releases (January 2017)

Ahoj,
vítejte u nového článku. Dneska jsem si pro vás připravila přehled
knižních novinek za leden. A jelikož jich je tentokrát opravdu hodně,
tak jsem to rozdělila na dvě části - tato obsahuje pouze anglické knihy,
ty české budou buď dneska večer, nebo během zítřka, uvidím, jak to
stihnu. Jinak jsem taky trošku upravila formát článku - místo toho,
abych ke každé knize psala nějaký svůj komentář, což je časově dost
vyčerpávající a stejně k tomu nemám moc co říct, když jsem knihu ještě
nečetla, jsem vám všude dala základní informace a anotaci, takže si ji
můžete přečíst a zjistit, jestli se vám nějaká kniha líbí :). Anotace
jsou ale v originále, kdybych je měla všechny překládat, tak byc se z
toho zbláznila. Tolik k úvodu, pojďme se podívat na ty knihy.

long-held family secret, the Tangles' carefully constructed web of lies
begins to unravel. Upon the death of Glory, the family's colorful
matriarch, and the return of long-estranged Callie, Ginger resolves to
return to Martha's Vineyard and piece together what really happened on
that calamitous day when a shadow fell over four sun-kissed siblings
playing at the shore. Along with Ginger's newfound understanding come
the keys to reconciliation: with her mother, with her sisters, and with
her daughter.At turns heartbreaking, humorous, and hopeful, Sisters One,

kept out of love-but also the courage it takes to speak the truth, to
forgive, and to let go.

At
the edge of the Russian wilderness, winter lasts most of the year and
the snowdrifts grow taller than houses. But Vasilisa doesn't mind-she
spends the winter nights huddled around the embers of a fire with her
beloved siblings, listening to her nurse's fairy tales. Above all, she
loves the chilling story of Frost, the blue-eyed winter demon, who
appears in the frigid night to claim unwary souls. Wise Russians fear
him, her nurse says, and honor the spirits of house and yard and forest
that protect their homes from evil.
After Vasilisa's mother dies, her father goes to Moscow and brings home a new wife. Fiercely devout, city-bred, Vasilisa's new stepmother forbids her family from honoring the household spirits. The family acquiesces, but Vasilisa is frightened, sensing that more hinges upon their rituals than anyone knows.
And indeed, crops begin to fail, evil creatures of the forest creep nearer, and misfortune stalks the village. All the while, Vasilisa's stepmother grows ever harsher in her determination to groom her rebellious stepdaughter for either marriage or confinement in a convent.

The Hundred Lies of LL mám už vyhlídnuté hodně dlouho a The Bear and the Nightingale jen pár dní (mimochodem to bude trilogie, ale zatím nemá jméno). :D Jinak mě z tohoto seznamu zaujal ještě The Sleepwalker a Iko (ale na tu si ještě chvíli počkám :D). Kromě tohoto mám já v TBR ještě Wait For Me od Caroline Leech. :)
