Because I found out that for this kind of group dynamic exercise in America the term “Trust Walk” is more common. Since I use the … Continue reading Sandra Manther: Trust Walk
How do we describe the smell of the vagina? As writers, we often have trouble with smells. But if we succeed, our readers are right in the middle of the scene. Because each of us immediately associates smells with our own experiences. Consciously or unconsciously: the mental cinema kicks in.

Wie schon bei der Liste der wichtigsten New Adult-Bücher von 2015 beziehe ich mich auch diesmal beim Erscheinungsdatum auf die englischsprachigen Originalausgaben. Da diese Bücher erst einmal einen deutschen Verleger finden und übersetzt werden müssen, enthält diese Liste also jene Titel, die relativ frisch auf dem deutschen Buchmarkt sind oder deren Erscheinen noch bevorsteht. Inzwischen … Continue reading New Adult – Die wichtigsten Bücher 2016

Jamie McGuite ist ein typischer New-Adult-Shootingstar. Im Mai 2011 veröffentlichte sie im Selbstverlag den Roman, „Beautiful Disaster“.

Da blieb das Buch 17 Wochen lang. Warner Brothers sicherte … Continue reading Jamie McGuire: Beautiful Burn – Rezension
