Fresh by Margot Wood
A hilarious and vulnerable coming-of-age story about the thrilling new experiences––and missteps––of a girl’s freshman year of college
Some students enter their freshman year of college knowing exactly what they want to do with their lives. Elliot McHugh is not one of those people. But picking a major is the last thing on Elliot’s mind when she’s too busy experiencing all that college has to offer—from dancing all night at off-campus parties, to testing her RA Rose’s patience, to making new friends, to having the best sex one can have on a twin-sized dorm room bed. But she may not be ready for the fallout when reality hits. When the sex she’s having isn’t that great. When finals creep up and smack her right in the face. Or when her roommate’s boyfriend turns out to be the biggest a-hole. Elliot may make epic mistakes, but if she’s honest with herself (and with you, dear reader), she may just find the person she wants to be. And maybe even fall in love in the process . . . Well, maybe.

A Swift and Savage Tide by Chloe Neill
Chloe Neill’s bold, seafaring heroine Captain Kit Brightling sets sail for high seas and high sorcery in this swashbuckling fantasy series.
Captain Kit Brightling is Aligned to the magic of the sea, which makes her an invaluable asset to the Saxon Isles and its monarch, Queen Charlotte. The Isles and its allies will need every advantage they can get: Gerard Rousseau, the former Gallic emperor and scourge of the Continent, has escaped his island prison to renew his quest for control of the Continent.
Gerard has no qualms about using dangerous magic to support his ambitions, so Kit and the crew of her ship, the Diana, are the natural choice to find him—and help stop him. Sparks fly when Kit’s path unexpectedly crosses with that of the dashing and handsome Rian Grant, Viscount Queenscliffe, who’s working undercover on the Continent in his own efforts to stop Gerard. But he’s not the only person Kit is surprised to see. An old enemy has arisen, and the power he’ll wield on Gerard’s behalf is beautiful and terrible. Sparks will fly and sails will flutter as Kit and crew are cast onto the seas of adventure to fight for queen and country.

Un millier d’étoiles dans mon cœur de Laëtitia Celerien
Aston est un jeune homme solitaire qui vit avec l’océan comme seule exigence et unique besoin, le surf comme seul talent et unique passion. C’est ainsi depuis le jour de ses dix ans, funeste souvenir de la mort de ses parents et de la disparition de Chelsea, sa meilleure amie. Jusqu’à ce qu’il découvre en couverture du New York Times une photo qui lui rappelle celle qu’il recherche en vain depuis des années. L’article précise qu’elle s’appelle Madison et non Chelsea. Mais Aston reconnaît la petite marque sur son front, cette cicatrice enfouie dans sa mémoire. Soudain prêt à affronter son passé, il décide de partir pour New York. Pour la retrouver et, peut-être aussi, ne plus laisser passer sa chance.
