labyrinth — kate mosse

Alice and Alaïs are two women con­nected through time and secrets. Alice, liv­ing in 2005, finds a cave with two skele­tons in it. How old are these, why are they here and who are they? As soon as she dis­cov­ered them it is obvi­ous they are very impor­tant still to some peo­ple and Alice is now involved in a big web of deceit, crime and a very reli­gious cult full of secrets.
Many cen­turies ear­lier we fol­low Alaïs, a young woman with a free spirit but within walls. All the secrets Alice is strug­gling with start with her and through her eyes we will gather the infor­ma­tion to under­stand the secrets that should have been bur­ried for eternity.

it had to be you — sarah webb

Three women, Molly, Paige and Kate, all have some goals they still haven’t reached. So although they are con­tent with their lives some things are miss­ing. For Molly and Kate a reli­able male mate is miss­ing and Paige wants to be a deputy. When all the goals are in hands reach it all seems so easy to grab it all, but espe­cially then life gets more and more dif­fi­cult. All three women have to look at them­selves (and their pasts) to get noticed by the oth­ers. A harsh but nec­es­sary task if they want true hap­pi­ness and a full life.

cocktail time — p.g. wodehouse

Fred­er­ick, Earl of Ick­en­ham, is still a boy at heart. He is loud, some would say obnox­ious, opti­mistic and socia­ble very present. But when he hangs out of a win­dow in his favorite pub and cat­a­pults the hat off of his brother in law, a grumpy bar­ris­ter, he couldn’t have imag­ined what kind of actions he sets in motion. Actions he will be in over his head, but also enjoys tremen­dously. Who could have thought that a cat­a­pult could result in a scan­dalous best­seller, a film script, strange roman­tic entan­gle­ments and the awak­en­ing of a dodgy couple.
