Wishlist Wednesday #8



Wishlist Wednesday is a book blog hop where we will post about one book per week that has been on our wishlist for some time, or just added (it's entirely up to you), that we can't wait to get off the wishlist and onto our wonderful shelves.

When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton’s type is girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact.
On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight, Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl.
Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself by Printz medalist John Green, acclaimed author of Looking for Alaska





I want to read more John Green books this year. I already ordered The Faults in Our Stars and Paper Towns. This one is on the top of my to buy list.  Fingers crossed I'll love them as much as I did Looking for Alaska. 





Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.
Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.
In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

I want to read Beautiful Creatures before the movie comes out. I never showed any interest in reading the book, until I watched the trailer for the movie, and the windows-shattering scene. That was pretty epic.
The book is quite cheap on TBD right now (http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Beautiful-Creatures-Kami-Garcia/9780316231657) but I can't buy it. Pity. :D

Since she'd been on the outside, she'd survived an Aether storm, she'd had a knife held to her throat, and she'd seen men murdered. This was worse.
Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland - known as The Death Shop - are slim. If the cannibals don't get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She's been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He's wild - a savage - and her only hope of staying alive.
A hunter for his tribe in a merciless landscape, Perry views Aria as sheltered and fragile - everything he would expect from a Dweller. But he needs Aria's help too; she alone holds the key to his redemption. Opposites in nearly every way, Aria and Perry must accept each other to survive. Their unlikely alliance forges a bond that will determine the fate of all who live under the never sky.

Last week I won a book of my choice and I chose Through the Ever Night even though I still haven't read the first book. So, this week's Wishlist Wednesday pick I am selecting Under The Never Sky. I'm still trying to save some money to order it but I'm sure I'll get it soon enough.




Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. . . . 
Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.




I WANT TO READ CINDER ASAP!!!! I've shown some interest in it lately, and I want it NOW! Too bad I can't buy it in the near future. :D Maybe I'll get it for my birthday, in April.

In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch--a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood--or else she might be next.


Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, the Bloodlines series explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive—this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone’s out for blood.

I don't need to explain myself why do I want this book,do I? Well,since Adrian is my fictional husband I need to find out what happens next and to see how will Sydney torture him again,so I can jump in and steal him. Hope TBD dispatches it days before the release date so I don't end up watching other people reading it.


This ones don't need a synopsis or anything. You all know them! It's the HARRY POTTER SERIES!!!
You might be asking yourself right now, WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T YOU READ THESE BOOKS YET! What kind of book blogger are you?
Well, I'm sad too, because I haven't read them.
I have read the first and the second book in some crappy macedonian translation, with copies from the library.
The library here, only has few copies from each other book in the series, so I can't take them and read them, even if I wanted to.
That is why, for so long time now, these books have been on my wishlist!
They are my Christmas Wish! And I'm serious :D
I'm so sad to say that the boxed set I want is so cheap on The Book Depository, because I can't buy it (my dad lost his job few weeks ago :/)
Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out.
I do hope that I'll get a chance to read them soon, I don't want to feel behind every single book blogger.

The past few years have held more surprises than part-angel Clara Gardner could ever have anticipated. Yet from the dizzying highs of first love, to the agonizing low of losing someone close to her, the one thing she can no longer deny is that she was never meant to live a normal life. 
Since discovering the special role she plays among the other angel-bloods, Clara has been determined to protect Tucker Avery from the evil that follows her . . . even if it means breaking both their hearts. Leaving town seems like the best option, so she’s headed back to California - and so is Christian Prescott, the irresistible boy from the vision that started her on this journey in the first place.
 As Clara makes her way in a world that is frighteningly new, she discovers that the fallen angel who attacked her is watching her every move. And he’s not the only one. . . . With the battle against the Black Wings looming, Clara knows she must finally fulfil her destiny. But it won’t come without sacrifices and betrayal. In the riveting finale of the Unearthly series, Clara must decide her fate once and for all.

What can I say? I need answers! Will Angela switch sides and become a dark angel? Will Christian continue to annoy me? Probably. Will Tucker and Clara get their HEA just like in that dream Clara had? I hope they do.


By age sixteen, Rhine Ellery has four years left to live. She can thank modern science for this genetic time bomb. A botched effort to create a perfect race has left all males with a lifespan of 25 years, and females with a lifespan of 20 years. Geneticists are seeking a miracle antidote to restore the human race, desperate orphans crowd the population, crime and poverty have skyrocketed, and young girls are being kidnapped and sold as polygamous brides to bear more children. When Rhine is kidnapped and sold as a bride, she vows to do all she can to escape. Her husband, Linden, is hopelessly in love with her, and Rhine can’t bring herself to hate him as much as she’d like to. He opens her to a magical world of wealth and illusion she never thought existed, and it almost makes it possible to ignore the clock ticking away her short life. But Rhine quickly learns that not everything in her new husband’s strange world is what it seems. Her father-in-law, an eccentric doctor bent on finding the antidote, is hoarding corpses in the basement. Her fellow sister wives are to be trusted one day and feared the next, and Rhine is desperate to communicate to her twin brother that she is safe and alive. Will Rhine be able to escape--before her time runs out?
I feel like this is a book I don't want to miss out reading. I was so sad when I couldn't buy it. It was like $6 on TBD but my dad lost his job and I couldn't and still can't afford it. I really hope I'll get a chance to read it in the future. It sounds like a great book. And the author Lauren DeStefano is so sweet and kind on twitter :)

My name is Katniss Everdeen. Why am I not dead? I should be dead.
Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.
It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plains--except Katniss.
The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay--no matter what the personal cost.

I loved both Hunger Games and Catching Fire. I've been told that Mockingjay is a little bit dissapointing, so I waited, and did not read it. It's on my wishlist though LOL


Wreck This Box by Keri Smith 
I came across Wreck This Journal on tumblr when someone posted a picture of this horribly disfigured book. I was horrified. Since I am one of those people who takes good care of their book you can imagine how I felt seeing this muddy and torn poor little thing. I couldn't believe my eyes. Is this for real or is someone messing with me that this is actually a book?,I thought so I went and Googled Wreck This Journal. (I dare you to do the same) I stayed up late and watched picture after picture of this mess. The next logical step I could think of is-I need to order it! So I will be ordering this boxed set that contains Wreck This Journal, This Is Not a Book and Mess. Wish me luck and strength on actually destroying it when it arrives because I have no idea how will I do it. There will probably be a lot of crying involved.

Perfect for the fans of Shatter Me who are desperately awaiting the release of Unravel Me, this novella-length digital original will bridge the gap between these two novels from the perspective of the villain we all love to hate, Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.
In Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me, Juliette escaped from The Reestablishment by seducing Warner—and then putting a bullet in his shoulder. But as she’ll learn in Destroy Me, Warner is not that easy to get rid of. . .
Back at the base and recovering from his near-fatal wound, Warner must do everything in his power to keep his soldiers in check and suppress any mention of a rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as ever, his first priority is to find her, bring her back, and dispose of Adam and Kenji, the two traitors who helped her escape. But when Warner’s father, The Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his son’s mistakes, it’s clear that he has much different plans for Juliette. Plans Warner simply cannot allow.
Set after Shatter Me and before its forthcoming sequel, Unravel Me, Destroy Me is a novella told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.

 My God! Tahereh Mafi is my new favorite author. I've read Shatter Me in a day last November. It was so shiny and pretty I just couldn't resist it. Oh! I could gush about that book all day but I'm not. Now that I've managed to snag a giveaway and I chose Unravel Me I can't wait to read it and especially Destroy Me. We finally get a peek inside Warner's head. Mmmm...I love that boy. Some people disagree with me but I don't care. He is my mine!


St. Vladimir’s Academy isn’t just any boarding school—it’s a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They’ve been on the run, but now they’re being dragged back to St. Vladimir’s—the very place where they’re most in danger...
Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy’s ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals. But they must be careful lest the Strigoi—the world’s fiercest and most dangerous vampires—make Lissa one of them forever.


Do I need to say why I want to read this book? I don't need to comment here. I've never bought this book because I thought (and still kind of think) that it's not my piece of cake. Vampires? I don't think so. But, yet I want to read the book. A lot of people I know love the series. I should give it a try someday soon. :]

Just your average boy-meets-girl, girl-kills-people story...
Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.

So did his father before him, until his gruesome murder by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father’s mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead—keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay.
When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn’t expect anything outside of the ordinary: move, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he’s never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, but now stained red and dripping blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.
And she, for whatever reason, spares his life.

I got a copy of Girl Of Nightmares today, by TOR Teen, the publisher. It was a total suprise for me. I did request it once, few months ago, but I didn't know I'd get a copy. Now the problem is that I still haven't read Anna Dressed in Blood, which is the first book in the series.
Now, I'm craving to get a copy and read it. A lot of my twitter buddies loved the  book, so I can't wait to read it. It sounds so cool, and creepy, and I've never read a horror novel. So, I can't wait to be scared.lol




Jacinda was supposed to bond with Cassian, the "prince" of their pride. But she resisted long before she fell in love with Will—a human and, worse, a hunter. When she ran away with Will, it ended in disaster, with Cassian's sister, Miram, captured. Weighed down by guilt, Jacinda knows she must rescue her to set things right. Yet to do so she will have to venture deep into the heart of enemy territory.
The only way Jacinda can reach Miram is by posing as a prisoner herself, though once she assumes that disguise, things quickly spiral out of her control. As she learns more about her captors, she realizes that even if Will and Cassian can carry out their part of the plan, there's no guarantee they'll all make it out alive. But what Jacinda never could have foreseen is that escaping would be only the beginning....
Loyalties are tested and sacrifices made in the explosive conclusion to Sophie Jordan's Firelight trilogy

 I can not wait to read the third instalment of Firelight trilogy. It's a story about young dragons, loyalty and love. Who doesn't want to read about that? Oh,and if you are wondering I am Team Cassian who reminds me of Ren from Nightshade trilogy. We know how that one turned out, hope Hidden answers my prayers and slays!
