It’s a feast of irresistible characters, hilarious dialogue, and masterful storytelling, in short, everything you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell book.

Scattered Showers

Wayward Son is the stunning YA novel by the bestselling author of Fangirl, Rainbow Rowell. With all of her signature wit and heart, this is Rainbow at her absolute best. The story is supposed to be over. Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. He beat the villain. He won the war. He even fell in love. Now comes the good part, right? Now comes the happily ever after . . . So why can’t Simon Snow get off the couch? What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. He just needs to see himself in a new light . . . That’s how Simon and Penny and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West. They find trouble, of course. (Dragons, vampires, skunk-headed things with shotguns.) And they get lost. They get so lost, they start to wonder whether they ever knew where they were headed in the first place . . . With Wayward Son, the sequel to Carry On, Rainbow Rowell has written a book for everyone who ever wondered what happened to the Chosen One after he saved the day. And a book for everyone who was ever more curious about the second kiss than the first. Come on, Simon Snow. Your hero’s journey might be over – but your life has just begun.

A REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell comes Slow Dance—her smartest, funniest, most powerful novel yet “If you, like me, think thirty-somethings methodically working through their issues is very hot, Slow Dance is the book for you. The people in it feel like people you know or maybe even people you’ve been. Slow Dance is sexy, sweet, wise, and nostalgic—Jane Austen’s Persuasion for our times.” — Gabrielle Zevin, New York Times bestselling author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow Shiloh Butler was supposed to get out of north Omaha. She used to sit out on the front porch with her best friend, Cary, and plot their escape. Shiloh was going to be an actress – she had a scholarship to a good school – and Cary was laser-focused on the Navy. Sharp, stoic, golden-eyed Cary . . . thin as a stick of gum and poor as dirt. He was probably the most decent person Shiloh has ever known. She hasn’t spoken to him in fourteen years. When Shiloh gets an invitation to a high school friend’s wedding, Cary is the first and only thing on her mind. She desperately wants to see him again, but she doesn’t know if she can bear being seen by him. What would Cary think of Shiloh at thirty-three? A divorced mom living in the same house she grew up in. Someone who works behind a desk, not onstage. Would Cary even want to see Shiloh after all this time? After everything? The answer, it turns out, is yes. In her triumphant return to adult fiction, Rainbow Rowell has written a love story so honest and human – so cathartic – you’ll feel it in your bones. Slow Dance is as sharp and compassionate as you’d expect from Rowell. Deeply, profoundly romantic, it’s a power ballad of a book.

Slow Dance

In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong. In Any Way the Wind Blows, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha have to decide how to move forward. For Simon, that means deciding whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages – and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough. Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet. This book is a finale. It tells secrets and answers questions, and lays ghosts to rest. Carry On was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings. About catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us.

Any Way the Wind Blows

A love story about opening your heart, by Rainbow Rowell, the New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor & Park. Cath and Wren are identical twins, and until recently they did absolutely everything together. Now they're off to university and Wren's decided she doesn't want to be one half of a pair any more – she wants to dance, meet boys, go to parties and let loose. It's not so easy for Cath. She's horribly shy and has always buried herself in the fan fiction she writes, where she always knows exactly what to say and can write a romance far more intense than anything she's experienced in real life. Without Wren, Cath is completely on her own and totally outside her comfort zone. She's got a surly room-mate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words . . . And she can't stop worrying about her dad, who's loving and fragile and has never really been alone. Now Cath has to decide whether she's ready to open her heart to new people and new experiences, and she's realizing that there's more to learn about love than she ever thought possible . . . Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell comes with special bonus material; the first chapter from Rainbow's irresistible novel Carry On.

Fangirl

Based on the characters Simon and Baz who featured in Rainbow Rowell's bestselling Fangirl, Carry On is a ghost story, a love story, a mystery and a melodrama. It has just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from a Rainbow Rowell story – but far, far more monsters. Simon Snow just wants to relax and savour his last year at the Watford School of Magicks, but no one will let him. His girlfriend broke up with him, his best friend is a pest and his mentor keeps trying to hide him away in the mountains where maybe he'll be safe. Simon can't even enjoy the fact that his room-mate and longtime nemesis is missing, because he can't stop worrying about the evil git. Plus there are ghosts. And vampires. And actual evil things trying to shut Simon down. When you're the most powerful magician the world has ever known, you never get to relax and savour anything.

Carry On

Gerechtigkeit ist super, grün, sexy und gammastark! She-Hulk muss in dieser abgeschlossenen Miniserie als Anwältin und Superheldin unbedingt einen Neuanfang schaffen. Doch die Vergangenheit lässt ihr keine Ruhe, und es taucht sogar ein toter Avenger in ihrer Wohnung auf. Und was hat es mit dem Super Fight Club auf sich?

SHE-HULK

SHE-HULK N.1 - GAMMA-NEUANFANG

Zwei gegen den Rest der Welt ... Sie sind zwei völlig verschiedene Außenseiter: Eleanor ist dick, hat wirre rote Locken und trägt weite Herren-T-Shirts. Park ist gutaussehend, zurückhaltend, Halb-Koreaner. Nur notgedrungen macht er im Schulbus für sie den Platz neben sich frei, liest seine Comics oder hört Musik. Eleanor ist froh, nur ignoriert statt gemobbt zu werden. Sie kommt aus einer desolaten Familie, Park aus einer gut bürgerlichen. Als sie beginnt, im Bus Parks Comics mitzulesen, entwickelt sich ein Dialog zwischen den beiden. Zögerlich tauschen sie Lieblingskassetten aus. Dass sie sich ineinander verlieben überwältigt und verwirrt beide.

Eleanor & Park (ungekürzt)

Simon Snow er den absolut værste udvalgte, der nogensinde er blevet udvalgt. Det siger hans roommate Baz i hvert fald. Og det kan godt være, at Baz er en ondsindet vampyr, men han har jo ret! Halvdelen af tiden kan Simon ikke engang få sin tryllestav til at fungere – eller også sætter han ild til ting og sager. Hans mentor gør alt for at undgå ham, hans kæreste har slået op med ham, og der er et magi-ædende monster, som går rundt med Simons ansigt på. Baz ville have nydt alt dette, hvis han altså havde været her. Det er starten på deres sidste skoleår på Watford School of Magicks, og så har Simons plageånd ikke engang besværet sig med at dukke op. CARRY ON er en spøgelseshistorie, en kærlighedshistorie og et mysterium. Der er lige så mange kys og lige så meget snak som i Rowells andre romaner – men der er mange flere monstre i den her! Rainbow Rowells roman FANGIRL handlede om pigen Cath, som brugte meget af sin tid på at skrive Simon Snow-fanfiction. Med CARRY ON får vi hele Caths historie om Simon Snow.

Året er 1986. Stedet Omaha, Nebraska. 16-årige Eleanor er netop flyttet til byen med sin mor og søskende – og sin utilregnelige stedfar. Hun føler sig småtyk og forkert, og da hun stiger ind i skolebussen på sin første skoledag, falder hun omgående udenfor med sit ildrøde hår og sine bukser, der holdes sammen med sikkerhedsnåle. Der er kun én ledig plads. Ved siden af Park. Smukke og cool Park. Som også er udenfor, om end på sin egen måde. Næste dag er pladsen ved siden af Park ledig igen. Langsomt får de øjnene op for hinanden og forelsker sig, sådan som man forelsker sig for første gang, når man er 16 år. Eleanor og Park udspiller sig over et enkelt skoleår til lyden af The Smiths, U2 og Joy Division og er et udsøgt nostalgitrip for alle, der har prøvet at være forelsket. Samtidig giver romanen et helt enestående tidsbillede af årtiet med den karakteristiske musik og tøjstil - vel at mærke et årti, der endnu var komplet uberørt af smartphones, sms’er og Facebook. Et næsten utænkeligt scenario for nutidens forelskede teenagere, men der var engang, hvor man rent faktisk var nødt til at tale sammen. Og det gør Eleanor og Park. Eleanor og Park er indtil videre udkommet i England og USA til fremragende anmeldelser. Den er desuden solgt til udgivelse i en lang række europæiske lande. LEKTØRUDTALELSE "Forfatteren skriver med uhyre præcision og simple virkemidler om den allerførste kærlighed. Det er sødt, men ikke klamt - og der er et overraskende twist imod slutningen. Teenagere vil æde denne bog råt. De der var teenagere og forelskede i midtfirserne ligeså." - Lektør: Tina Schmidt PRESSEN SKREV "Bevægende roman, begavet, morsom, sexet, finurlig, forvirret og til sidst så absolut hjerteskærende. (...) Den sidste stjerne for det sublime tilbageblik og det lækre soundtrack." - ALT for damerne "Eleanor og Park« er en fin og nådesløs amerikansk historie om umulig kærlighed mellem to outsidere." - Berlingske "Sproget er charmerende præcist, og med en uhyggelig skarp fornemmelse for det unge menneskes helt særlige psykologiske konstitution. (...) Det er længslen og kærlighedsfeberen, som Eleanor og Park fremtryller så intenst og dirrende." - Weekendavisen "Den er så fantastisk, så fin, så ægte! Læs den!" - Boghjørnet "En skøn, skøn bog, jeg kan anbefale til alle, der nogensinde har været forelsket. Især hvis du var ung i 1980’erne. Køb den, lån den – jeg er ligeglad, bare du læser den!" - frk.bogorm "Jeg læser virkelig mange gode bøger. Masser. Men ved du, hvor længe siden det er, at jeg har grædt over en bog? Det er længe siden. Jeg kan ikke engang huske hvilken." - thejulesrules "Rowell overrasker konstant og (...) fastholder romanens skrøbelige balancegang mellem det lyse og det mørke." – Publishers Weekly "(...) udviklingen i forholdet mellem Eleanor & Park er gribende, åndeløst spændende og naturligvis også hjerteskærende." – Booklist "(...) Den ultimative kærlighedshistorie. (...) Hvis du vil læse en hæsblæsende kærlighedsroman med et twist, en roman med dybe, ærlige og autentiske følelser, og en roman, du ikke kan slippe før sidste side, så skal du læse Eleanor og Park." – Boguniverset "’Eleanor og Park’ fik mig tilbage til ungdommens uskyldige år (...) Helt specielle følelser, som du aldrig nogensinde vil kunne opleve helt ægte igen, har Rainbow Rowell alligevel formået at fange i en lille tidskapsel og sender læseren tilbage til once-upon-a-time." - Andrup's bookshelf "[Eleanor og Park] har indlevelse, rigtig fin personskildring og en håbløshed af næsten Romeo og Julie-agtige dimensioner. Og så er den så underholdende og nemt skrevet, at den nærmest læser sig selv." - Bogliv

Eleanor og Park

Cath er Simon Snow-fan – kæmpe Simon Snow-fan! Hun og hendes søster Wren levede og åndede for Simon Snow-serien, da de var børn. De læste og læste og læste. De skrev Simon Snow-fanfiction. De klædte sig ud som karaktererne til filmpremiererne. Det er Caths søster vokset fra nu. Men det er Cath ikke – hun VIL ikke vokse fra det. De to søstre skal på college, og Wren har meddelt Cath, at hun ikke gider dele værelse med hende. Så Cath står alene – helt uden for sin comfort-zone. Hun har en sur roommate med en sød kæreste, som hele tiden er i nærheden. Hun har en lækker klassekammerat, som kun gider tale om tekster. Og hun kan ikke lade være med at bekymre sig om sin far, som aldrig før har været alene. Så spørgsmålet er: Kan Cath klare livet på college uden sin søster ved hånden? Er hun klar til at starte et liv på egen hånd? Og har hun overhovedet lyst til at starte et nyt liv – uden Simon Snow?
