~ On MY wishlist ~

There are numerous books I would love to read, so that my wishlist should be called wishbook instead! But I want to present only two of those numerous books on my Wishlist so I've got many many more weeks of wishlists and great books to present :) 

Here is #1 

The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting

The idea of sensing dead bodies creeps me out. At the same time I want to learn more about the love story between Violet and Jay.

Violet Ambrose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret ability. While the sixteen-year-old is confused by her new feelings for her best friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her "power" to sense dead bodies—or at least those that have been murdered. Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes the dead leave behind in the world . . . and the imprints that attach to their killers.

And #2

Beastly by Alex Flinn

I am a huge Disney fan, so this modern fairytale totally appeals to me!

I am a beast. A beast! Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright. I am a monster. You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity, no disease. And I'll,stay this way forever—ruined—unless I can break the spell.
Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly . . . beastly.

Follow Friday #13

Follow Friday is a meme hosted by Parajunkee, where people spread the book love by following around the blogosphere! This week, the featured blog is Annette @ The More You Read, The More You Will Know , so be sure to check it out! I am not doing the follow-me-follow-you thing right now, but I love to answer the question and read all of your answers:) This week’s question is…

What makes up your non-human family?

That would be my dog Goldie, a lovely golden retriever that grunts like a little pig when begging for more food. Then my mom keeps on feeding a blackbird, which we already consider as our second pet...weird I know.

Coveresque feat. Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr (US vs. Indonesian vs. German)

Tell me, which Wicked Lovely  cover do you like best?  US on the left, we've got the Indonesian cover in the middle and the German one on the right side. Each cover has a girl on it and is colored in purple and blue, very fairy-like.

Waiting On Wednesay #13

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

What I am waiting for on this Wednesday: Where I Belong by  Gwendolyn Heasley (February 2011) 

 

I am looking forward to a light and funny read. I want the shopping girl to experience rural boy charme!

 

Corrinne Corcoran’s upscale Manhattan life is perfectly on track—until her father announces he’s been laid off and she’s shipped off to Broken Spoke, Texas, to live with her grandparents. All alone in a big public school and forced to take a job shoveling manure, Corrinne is determined to get back to the glamorous life she’s supposed to be living. But as she grudgingly adjusts—making new friends and finding romance along the way—this city girl begins to realize that life without credit cards and shopping sprees may not be as bad as it seems....

Teaser Tuesday #14

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading and it asks us to...

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share a couple of “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers.

The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

"With a shock, I recognized him as the boy on the horse, who had watched me through the forest that day. Why was he here now, in my house?"
