First Last Night at Chateau Marmont , the new novel by Lauren Weisberger. I admit to not being a huge fan of the Devil Wears Prada, but I think she has a true literary talent, his books are always very pleasant to read and well written. Unlike other writers of chick lit, she knows how to deepen the stories and characters. It would have been the perfect beach read, but never mind ...
Please copy the 4th back cover to give you an idea of the storyline (as they say). Sorry, it's VO:
Heartbreak headlines and Hermes - welcome to Brooke's new world ...
Brooke and Julian live a happy life in New York - she's the breadwinner working Two jobs and he's the Struggling musician husband. Then Julian IS Discovered by a Sony exec and Becomes an overnight success — and their lives change for ever.

Can her marriage survive the events of that fateful night at Chateau Marmont? It's time for Brooke to decide, once and for all, what it is she really wants...
Ensuite, Good in Bed de Jennifer Weiner, dont j'ai entendu le plus grand bien sur pas mal de blogs. Je vais donc découvrir un auteur que je ne connais pas, et j'espère bien être heureusement surprise.
Cannie Shapiro never wanted to be famous. The smart, sharp, plus-sized reporter was perfectly happy writing about other people's lives for her local newspaper. And for the past twenty-eight years, things have been tripping along nicely for Cannie. Sure, her mother has come charging out of the closet, and her father has long since dropped out of her world. But she loves her job, her friends, her dog and her life. She loves her apartment and her commodious, quilt-lined bed. She has made a tenuous peace with her body and she even felt okay about ending her relationship with her boyfriend Bruce. But now this...
'Loving a larger woman is an act of courage in our world', Bruce has written in a national women's magazine. And Cannie — who never thought that Bruce saw her as a larger woman, or thought that loving her was an act of courage — is plunged into misery, and the most amazing year of her life.
Et enfin, The Forest House de Marion Zimmer Bradley. Il y a plusieurs années, j'avais lu avec un émerveillement considérable The Mists of Avalon , who had transported with delight in the Arthurian legend revisited with a view to both feminist and romantic, with just enough magic and fantasy. This book moved me and passionate, as few books have done in my life, a true masterpiece. I was somewhat disappointed by Lady of Avalon, but I decided to give me the third (and I believe first) novel of the trilogy, hoping to find some of the emotions I felt while reading the mists.
Eilan She Is, The daughter of a Druidic war leader, gifted with Vision. Struggling to land in a survive both Roman conquerors and her own people's enemies, she is surely marked by fate to become a priestess of the Forest House.
But Eilan has chosen a different, forbidden path — to love Gaius, a soldier of mixed blood among the legions sent to subdue her country. And so she must hide a terrible secret when she is anointed as the new High Priestess. With mighty enemies poised to usurp the wealth of magic the Forest House shelters, Eilan can only trust in the power of the Great Goddess to find her destiny amidst the treacherous labyrinth in which fate has placed her.
