Cool !
En Anglais – One day Robbie is hit by a car while running after his dog, Lucky. Unconscious, Robbie lies in hospital, unable to speak, move or eat. But he can hear; he is aware.

Until one day, against hospital rules, Dad brings Lucky into the hospital. Can Lucky bring Robbie back to life ?
Millénium 3 – La reine dans le palais des courants d’air
Après avoir échappé de peu à la mort, Lisbeth Salander se remet difficilement de ses blessures dans une chambre d’hôpital. Incapable physiquement d’agir, elle a de surcroît été placée en isolement et sous surveillance policière, car elle est encore sous le coup de plusieurs chefs d’accusation. La voilà coincée, donc, mais pas inactive, d’autant qu’un patient soigné dans une chambre voisine a de très sérieux et très anciens comptes à régler avec elle… De son côté, Mikael Blomkvist se démène pour innocenter et réhabiliter la jeune femme. Ses recherches lèvent le voile sur les plus inavouables activités de certains services secrets, mais les sombres personnages autour desquels se resserre son enquête ne vont pas se laisser menacer sans réagir. Le troisième volume de Millénium promet poussées d’adrénaline, insoutenable suspense et scènes terribles, mais la pire épreuve pour le lecteur consistera à se séparer des personnages à la fin de ce dernier volet de l’irrésistible trilogie.
Undermajordomo minor
En Anglais – Lucy Minor is the resident odd duck in the hamlet of Bury. He is a compulsive liar, a sickly weakling in a town famous for begetting brutish giants. Then Lucy accepts employment assisting the majordomo of the remote, foreboding Castle Von Aux. While tending to his new post as undermajordomo, he soon discovers the place harbours many dark secrets, not least of which is the whereabouts of the castle's master, Baron Von Aux. Thus begins a tale of polite theft, bitter heartbreak, domestic mystery, and cold-blooded murder. Undermajordomo Minor is an ink-black comedy of manners, an adventure, and a mystery, and a searing portrayal of rural Alpine bad behaviour, but above all it is a love story. And Lucy must be careful, for love is a violent thing.
