On My Wishlist is currently hosted at Cosy Books, but was started at Book Chick City. It’s a way for us to share the books we’re wishing, wishing, wishing for, whether they’re already out (maybe long out) but we haven’t indulged ourselves yet, or they’re due sometime in the near or distant future, and we’re trying to resist purchasing them.
Or maybe resistance is futile, and they will be absorbed into our towering TBR piles.
Speaking of books where the resistance is probably futile, at least for me, it’s May, and that means its time for another installment of the Perils of Pauline…wait, scratch that, I meant another chapter in the continuing saga of the life of Sookie Stackhouse. It’s just not May without another Sookie book. This year Sookie is Deadlocked.
I think I’ve read an interview with Ms. Harris (unfortunately no relation at ALL) that there are a limited number of books left in this series. While I’m sad, it’s probably getting close to time. I’d rather be left wanting a little bit more, than watching the train wreck grind on a la Anita Blake.
The other book that I just plain want to read is Blood and Bullets by James R. Tuck. All the reviews have been so awesome and I love urban fantasy. And, I miss Harry Dresden. I like the idea of reading an Urban Fantasy series with a male narrator again. Although it sounds like Deacon Chalk gets his act together considerably faster than Harry did, which is probably a good thing, Chalk’s circumstances start out way worse. Blood and Bullets is definitely different, but in good ways I want to sink my “teeth” into. But not like the were-spiders! Eeew.
So come on, share with group! What’s on your wishlist? Will you be able to resist bringing it home?
LOL re Perils of Pauline. That’s what I used to call my website. And I’ve actually seen the movie. (grin) I just put this book on my wishlist: The Hero’s Guide to Saving the Kingdom by Christopher Healy. It releases May 1, so giving myself a couple of days to decide whether to buy and if I do, do I go digital or print. It looks like something I might want to share.
Deadlocked—-:) I want it too BUT I am standing my ground on ebook prices 🙁 I am super sad about that LOL
(I have a friend buying the hardcopy–hoping to borrow it from her)
