Wishlist Wednesday #30

Wishlist Wednesday is a weekly book blog hop hosted by Dani at Pen to Paper where we will post about a book that has been on our wishlist for some time, or just added, that we can't wait to get off the wishlist and onto our bookshelves.

I love books about people with powers anyway, but I have also heard such great things about this author as well. This one has been on my wishlist for a while.

Cursed by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Goodreads

Dying sucks--and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand. After a fatal car accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows. 
Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things--including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming her curse is a gift, she thinks he's a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it, shes more than interested. There's just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden's adopted father, a man shes sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out. However, shes willing to do anything to hold her sisters hand again. And hell, she'd also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn't?


But when Ember learns the accident that turned her into a freak may not've been an accident at all, shes not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead, and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she is to losing not only her heart, but her life. For real this time.

What do you think- looks good right? Has anybody read it already?

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Exciting new June book releases

These are some of the new books coming out this month that I am most excited to read...
(Please note these are the UK covers and release dates)

• Dare You To by Katie McGarry. I'm only excited about this one so that everyone else can read it too! I read this already and LOVED it!
• Tidal by Amanda Hocking (Wake, book3). Another series I love.
• Unbreakable by Elizabeth Norris (Unravelling, book 2). I'm not sure how Norris is going to live up to the awesomeness of the first book but I have to read this to find out!

• The Fall by Claire Merle (Glimpse, book 2)
• Gameboard of the Gods by Richelle Mead. A new sci-fi series from one of my all-time favourite authors.
• Goddess by Josephine Angelini  (Starcrossed, book 3)

• Another Little Piece by Kate Karyus Quinn
• Noble Conflict by Malorie Blackman. Malorie Blackman is like a rock star to me- I don't even know what this book is about but I know I'm going to get it because she's just one of those authors!
• PODs by Michelle Pickett

• Parallel by Lauren Miller
• The Pirate's Wish by Cassandra Rose Clarke, the sequel to The Assassin's Curse and the concluding part of this duology.
• Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein.

• Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo (Grisha series, book 2). I know I said this a lot- but I love this series too, and I'm looking forward to reading this one.
• Spirit and Dust by Rosemary Clement-Moore, a spin-off book from her previous title Texas Gothic (which was SO GOOD), and focusing on the character of cousin Daisy.
• Stormbringer by Philippa Gregory (Order of Darkness, book 2)

That is one awesome list right?!! Any of these that you're also excited to read? Any books that I've missed off this list that you are looking forward to this June?

Best of the Bunch May 2013

So, it's that time again- May is over and it's time to write up monthly wrap-up posts, and review the past month.

May 2013

I have the flu, and so May has been a bit of a duff month for me for blogging again. I have no book reviews to share, but I still really want to catch up with what has been happening with everybody.

So link up your monthly wrap-up posts below, let us all know what books you have been reading/ reviewing, and be sure to nominate one of them your pick for "Best of the Bunch".

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone has been up to, and finding ever more book recommendations!


Hopefully June will be a better month for me again.





Thanks for stopping by!

Wishlist Wednesday #29

Wishlist Wednesday is a weekly book blog hop hosted by Dani at Pen to Paper where we will post about a book that has been on our wishlist for some time, or just added, that we can't wait to get off the wishlist and onto our bookshelves.

I LOVE Alex Flinn's books- I have read Beastly, A Kiss in Time and Cloaked, and I just adore the modern twist on old fairytales, with plenty of humour and romance thrown in. The heroines are always feisty and the hero is always flawed and sweet, with dialogue that makes me laugh out loud. 
Her newest book is a reimagining of Rapunzel and I think it sounds amazing!

Towering by Alex Flinn
Goodreads

At first, I merely saw his face, his hands on the window ledge. Then, his whole body as he swung himself through the window. Only I could not see what he swung on.
Until, one day, I told my dream self to look down. And it was then that I saw. He had climbed on a rope. I knew without asking that the rope had been one of my own tying.

Rachel is trapped in a tower, held hostage by a woman she’s always called Mama. Her golden hair is growing rapidly, and to pass the time, she watches the snow fall and sings songs from her childhood, hoping someone, anyone, will hear her. 

Wyatt needs time to reflect or, better yet, forget about what happened to his best friend, Tyler. That’s why he’s been shipped off to the Adirondacks in the dead of winter to live with the oldest lady in town. Either that, or no one he knows ever wants to see him again.

Dani disappeared seventeen years ago without a trace, but she left behind a journal that’s never been read, not even by her overbearing mother…until now. 

What do you think? Has anybody read it already?
