[Dutch; Flemish] - Royal Horses - De kroon en het hart

"Grace zou wel willen verdwijnen: weg van school en weg van haar vrienden die haar hebben laten zitten. Daarom komt haar zomerstage in de stoeterij van de koninklijke familie precies op het juiste moment. Ze heeft niet zoveel met paarden en nog minder met prinsen en prinsessen, maar zo wordt ze tenminste niet meer geconfronteerd met alles wat er gebeurd is. Alleen krijgt ze al op de eerste dag ruzie met Edward, de paardentrainer. Hij vermoedt dat Grace een geheim heeft en haalt alles uit de kast om erachter te komen wat het is. En alsof dat nog niet erg genoeg is, komt kort na deze aanvaring prins Tristan aan bij het koninklijke buitenverblijf en zet hij Grace' leven helemaal op z'n kop. Veel te laat beseft ze dat ze verliefd is geworden... en ook nog eens op een jongen bij wie ze eigenlijk ver uit de buurt zou moeten blijven."

[Spanish] - Ai lof yu, Ashley (I love you, Ashley)

"Si tú también te mueres de ganas por saber qué pasó cuando Juanjo conoció a Ashley, ¡este es tu libro! Joé, a las tías no hay quien las entienda. Desde luego, no hay quien entienda qué quieren los chicos. Y a la que ha venido de intercambio la pillo todavía menos. Si me hago lío con los listenings, la voy a entender a ella, macho. No poder ir al Baile de Primavera con Cameron me parecía la peor de las tragedias, pero ¿esto? Pasar un mes en este apartamento diminuto, con esta familia absurda y teniendo que ir a clase con el estúpido que me ha tocado de compañero... ¡Esto sí que es un drama! Ahli, dice que se llama Ahli. Eso sí que lo he pillado. Bueno, le voy a preguntar al Jose, a ver si él sabe qué puedo hacer con ella para que no se me muera de aburrimiento. Que si la palma, me suspenden y, si me suspenden, ¡ME QUITAN LA MOTO! Aunque, en realidad, que Juanjo sea tan tonto me viene bien. Me río con sus tonterías y, cuando me río, se me olvida que Cameron no me hace ni caso y que todos los planes de futuro que teníamos (la casa de dos plantas, la parejita de hijos rubios y el cachorrito de golden retriever) se han ido al traste. Bueno, igual la que tenía los planes de futuro era solo yo, pero... Espera un momento, ¿qué es esto? ¿Un casco de acompañante? ¡JUANJOOO! ¡Ya puedes tener cuidado, que como esmoñes a la muchacha con la moto te la cargas!"

Torn

"Some souls go to heaven, some go to hell. I never thought I would be the one to take them. When seventeen-year-old Laney Dawson’s grandmother dies, the supernatural world she spent her life refusing... turns out to be terrifyingly real. And now it's after her. Once she's manifested as a Lightbringer, she's commanded to serve her true purpose: taking souls to heaven, and making sure they get there safely. But that makes the inexperienced high school senior a target, for an ambitious Shadowbringer who wants her soul as a trophy. Seems the afterlife is anything but simple, and there are some creatures out there willing to bargain for souls, even after we die. Good that Laney has a loyal friend at her side to protect her; but how much is she willing to risk to secure her new role? If her soul is taken, she'd become an empty human shell, pained by a void that could never be filled. And it's a fate she may have to accept, to protect those she loves. Love and death collide in this thrilling new supernatural YA fantasy, where death is only the beginning, and a hidden world decides our eternal fate.

The Great Gatsby

"Long considered one of America’s greatest novels, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, has remained the quintessential look at the “Roaring Twenties.” This new audio edition includes a nearly 2-hour study guide to The Great Gatsby, including a chapter-by-chapter analysis, descriptions of the key characters, and an overview of the important themes and symbols in the book. The novel unfolds as a memoir in the voice of Nick Carraway, a young man from the Midwest who travels to New York to try his hand at the bond business. By chance, Nick rents a house next door to the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby. Nick eventually befriends his neighbor, and learns that Gatsby had a relationship with his now-married cousin, Daisy Buchanan. Gatsby’s guiding purpose in life is to rekindle that relationship with Daisy. Through illicit means, he has transformed himself from the penniless soldier who wooed Daisy into a millionaire who believes the past can be repeated. He enlists a somewhat naive Nick in his quest. Gatsby learns too late that money can’t buy social standing, which in part destroys his hopeless desire to reunite with Daisy. Beyond being a simple story of a love lost and perhaps again found, this iconic masterpiece is a study of the very tenets of the American Dream. Fitzgerald penned a stylish and engaging novel that explores not only the interrelationships of the key characters, but the social stigmas and opulent lifestyles of the so-called Jazz Age."
