an unofficial wishlist - for now.

Thursday, June 16, 2011

To name every single book I plan to read and want to pick up would be impossible. There's way too many to name them all, but as of this week, I guess you could say that these are the books that I've been really wanting to read that I don't have copies of.
Of course, there are the books that I do own but want to read as well. That deserves a whole other post. For now, I guess you can call this, the 'unofficial book wish list as of June 16, 2011.'

Sisterhood Everlasting by Ann Brashares - I love the Sisterhood series, so I was so excited when I saw this one. I didn't even know the author was writing a new one!

The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman - Nice, simple cover and the plot synopsis sounds super interesting. I've also been hearing tons of good things about this.

Divergent by Veronica Roth - Been hearing about this day after day after day. I've read numerous reviews from trusted book bloggers, and so I can't wait to read this one for sure!

Deadline by Mira Grant - I really am very interested and curious to see where the author is going to take this story! It's got a fresh take on zombies and politics, and I am excited to see another narrator take the spotlight for this one too.

The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan - David Levithan is a fantastic writer, and the synopsis for this sounds so lovely.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs - Read the plot synopsis. Look at the cover. Tell me you're not intrigued!

Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini - This one has gotten a lot of rave reviews in the past week or so, and so I really want to read this for myself to see what it really is all about.

Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck - Look at the cover. It's so hypnotic! I also love the idea of the story, love the setting, and tigers? I love tigers.

The Last Letter from your Lover by Jojo Moyes - This one's to be released July 2011 if I'm not mistaken. I am a sucker for romance in literary fiction novels, and this one sounds so genuinely lovely. I can't wait to read this!

Don't Stop Now by Julie Halpern - I love road trips, I love traveling. I wish I could do more of them, but while I can't, I'll just stick with reading about them. This sounds like the perfect summer read to me.

Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins - Enjoyed the first book in this series, and I think I might like this one too. It's about time I get my hands on it.

Ashes Ashes by Jo Treggiari - Love the dystopian sub-genre, and I've been hearing good things about the characters!

What are the books you are dying to read but unfortunately don't own? At least, not yet?

'InMyMailBox' Wishlist + TBR stack + Book Addiction Problem

Monday, June 14, 2010

These are the books I want, want, want! There is no way that I would purchase all of these though before reading them, because that would just kill my wallet. And that is exactly why I love the local library. They've delivered time and time again. Unfortunately, I have checked our library's database and they don't have copies of these.. yet! I am sending them an e-mail requesting to get them, ha ha.

What I really can not wait to get my hands on the most though is Rules of Attraction by Simone Elkeles. If you have read my review for Perfect Chemistry, you'd know how much I loved it! I mean, honestly, if there was such a thing as a 'Book Crush,' that would be mine.

I have heard a lot of great things about White Cat by Holly Black, Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev, and The Blood Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward, and every rave review that I see makes me want to read them even more. The Tension of Opposites by Kristina McBride is one that has not been talked about as much yet but the synopsis sounds interesting, and even has an intriguing cover to back it up. College Girl by Patricia Weitz is one that I simply saw on the bookshelf. It's one that I have not heard of much, but when I read the synopsis for it, I already knew it was something I'd really enjoy reading.

Truthfully though, I still have a lot of wonderful books in my TBR stack, and I don't need any more. Here is mine. Note that this is just the stack itself -- one that I aim to read for this month only -- and not the actual list and/or stack. Let's not go there!

So maybe I don't really need any more books IMM. Last week, I didn't get any books at all, because truthfully, I'm trying to stop myself from getting any more. Sometimes, I just have to do this. However, it is what it is with us bookworms and our book addiction problems. It just can't be helped at times. What more can we do, right?

Now I'm curious, what are the books you can't wait to read? Do you already have them or are you still waiting to get your hands on them? Finally, please feel free to talk about your book addiction problem, if you have it as well. Don't deny it now! ;) Share stories, if you feel like it. I'd love to hear.
