by John Sandford

The wide wide sea : imperial ambition, first contact and the fateful final voyage of Captain James Cook
by Hampton Sides

A court of thorns and roses
by Sarah J. Maas

"Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from stories, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin, a High Lord of the faeries. As her feelings toward him transform from hostility to a firey passion, the threats against the faerie lands grow. Feyre must fight to break an ancient curse, or she will lose Tamlin forever"
