    Ich habe mich in diese Sätze verliebt smile : "Ich schaute ihm direkt in die dunklen Augen und in diesem Moment wurde mir klar, dass man einen Menschen nicht kennen muss, um sich in ihn zu verlieben. Man muss nicht einmal mit ihm gesprochen haben. Seit diesem Augenblick weiß ich auch, dass Liebe schneller sein kann als unser Bewusstsein, das in meinem Fall nur stolpernd hinterherkam. Liebe ist etwas, auf das man keinen Einfluss hat, sondern etwas, das einen findet - ohne Grund, ohne Kommentar und ohne, dass man sich dagegen wehren kann. Vielleicht ist es mit der Liebe so wie mit der Musik, man kann sie nicht erklären, sie trifft einen wortlos - mitten ins Herz." Isola - Isabel Abedi


    Paulchen : Danke dafür, das hat mich heute wirklich zum lächeln gebracht, keine Ahnung wieso. Wunderschön

    'The stars shine brightest out of the deepest dark'. Hester is a young girl of dark beginnings and few words. She is kept at home by her painfully reclusive parents and allowed no contact with the world outside the front door. And yet Hester finds joy in life's ordinary moments - to her, everything is an Alice-in-Wonderland discovery. But from the moment Hester is forced to attend school, she quickly learns that there are some things she cannot tell her parents. She knows that 'a secret has no sound; it lives in your darkest corner where it sits and waits'. Until the day the secret can no longer be contained and Hester reclaims her freedom with one final, powerful act.

    Since the beginning of the school year, high school freshman Melinda has found that it's been getting harder and harder for her to speak out loud: "My throat is always sore, my lips raw.... Every time I try to talk to my parents or a teacher, I sputter or freeze.... It's like I have some kind of spastic laryngitis." What could have caused Melinda to suddenly fall mute? Could it be due to the fact that no one at school is speaking to her because she called the cops and got everyone busted at the seniors' big end-of-summer party? Or maybe it's because her parents' only form of communication is Post-It notes written on their way out the door to their nine-to-whenever jobs. While Melinda is bothered by these things, deep down she knows the real reason why she's been struck mute...

    Lia and Cassie are best friends, wintergirls frozen in fragile bodies, competitors in a deadly contest to see who can be the thinnest. But then Cassie suffers the ultimate loss-her life-and Lia is left behind, haunted by her friend's memory and racked with guilt for not being able to help save her. In her most powerfully moving novel since Speak, award-winning author Laurie Halse Anderson explores Lia's struggle, her painful path to recovery, and her desperate attempts to hold on to the most important thing of all-hope.

    Hugo and Nebula Award-winner Butler's first novel since 1989's Imago offers an uncommonly sensitive rendering of a very common SF scenario: by 2025, global warming, pollution, racial and ethnic tensions and other ills have precipitated a worldwide decline. In the Los Angeles area, small beleaguered communities of the still-employed hide behind makeshift walls from hordes of desperate homeless scavengers and violent pyromaniac addicts known as "paints" who, with water and work growing scarcer, have become increasingly aggressive. Lauren Olamina, a young black woman, flees when the paints overrun her community, heading north with thousands of other refugees seeking a better life...

    BROOKLYN: Andi Alpers is on the edge. She’s angry at her father for leaving, angry at her mother for not being able to cope, and heartbroken by the loss of her younger brother, Truman. Rage and grief are destroying her. And she’s about to be expelled from Brooklyn Heights’ most prestigious private school when her father intervenes. Now Andi must accompany him to Paris for winter break.

    PARIS: Alexandrine Paradis lived over two centuries ago. She dreamed of making her mark on the Paris stage, but a fateful encounter with a doomed prince of France cast her in a tragic role she didn’t want—and couldn’t escape.

    Two girls, two centuries apart. One never knowing the other. But when Andi finds Alexandrine’s diary, she recognizes something in her words and is moved to the point of obsession. There’s comfort and distraction for Andi in the journal’s antique pages—until, on a midnight journey through the catacombs of Paris, Alexandrine’s words transcend paper and time, and the past becomes suddenly, terrifyingly present.

    AAch ich liebe dieses Thema!! Musste grad beim lesen einfach nur grinsen :chen
    Bin Jahrgang 84.
    Benjamin Blümchen und Bibi Blocksberg! Pumuckl!
    Und gaanz bunte Leggins :wave
    Und Mein kleines Pony (die bunten Pferdchen?)
    Da wird man ganz sentimental.
    Für Musik habe ich mich lange nicht interessiert. Irgendwann hab ich mal ne Bravo Hits CD bekommen und fand Blümchen ganz gut :rolleyes
    Naja das war wohl mehr in den 90ern.

    Ich bin inzwischen zur Hälfte durch, es gefällt mir sehr gut. Besonders die detaillierte Beschreibung der Umgebung/ der Fabrik etc finde ich faszinierend.
    Obwohl ich beruflich fast nur Englisch spreche, muss ich einige Begriffe nachschlagen, daher dauert es auch ein bisschen bis ich weiterkomme. Es lohnt sich aber, weil ich eben alles genau mitbekommen möchte. Ich bin gespannt wie es weitergeht und lasse euch wissen, wenn ich durch bin :grin
