The Winner’s Crime, Marie
Rutkoski (e-proof)
Lady
Kestrel’s engagement to Valoria’s crown prince calls for great celebration:
balls and performances, fireworks and revelry. But to Kestrel it means a cage
of her own making. Embedded in the imperial court as a spy, she lives and
breathes deceit and cannot confide in the one person she really longs to
trust...
While
Arin fights to keep his country’s freedom from the hands of his enemy, he
suspects that Kestrel knows more than she shows. As Kestrel comes closer to
uncovering a shocking secret, it might not be a dagger in the dark that cuts
him open, but the truth.
Lies
will come undone, and Kestrel and Arin learn just how much their crimes will
cost them in this second book in the breathtaking Winner’s trilogy!

The Wrong Knickers: A Decade of Chaos, Bryony Gordon (e-book)
Bryony Gordon survived her adolescence by dreaming about the life she'd have in her twenties: the perfect job; the lovely flat; the amazing boyfriend. The reality was something of a shock. Her Telegraph diary was a diary of her daily screw-ups; she lived in a series of squalid shoe boxes; and her most meaningful relationship of the entire decade was with a box of Marlboro Lights.
Here in The Wrong Knickers Bryony busts open the glamourised myth of what it means to be a young (perpetually) single girl about London town, and shares the horrible and hilarious truth. The truth about picking up a colleague at the STI clinic; sinking into debt to fund a varied diet of wine, crisps and vodka; and how it feels when your dream man turns out to be a one-night stand who hands you someone else's knickers in the morning.
Bryony's wonderfully ridiculous and ultimately redemptive story is essential reading for everyone whose 'best years' weren't quite what they were expecting...
This sounds like a an excellent way to kick start my goal of reading more non-fiction in 2015!
Thanks to NetGalley and
Bloomsbury for this! Really looking forward to seeing how this plays out.
