Wednesday Wishlist #3



This week's wishlist is all about the pre-orders. These are the books I am really looking forward to getting hold of when they come out:


Carrier - Anne Tibbets

You may have seen the cover reveal for this one on my blog a little while back, and the reason I included that was because this book really intrigued me. It's a dystopian fiction that seems really gritty, involving sex slavery and motherhood. It also deals with poverty and I can imagine that is has some pretty horrific stuff in there. This could be a really engrossing read.

Trial by Fire - Josephine Angelini
I haven't read Starcrossed yet, but it's on my Kindle, ready to go (look out for a review on that one) and I can't wait. This series looks really interesting; Set in Salem but travelling to a different world where her other self is a powerful Crucible (I think that's a witch, but I'll have to read the book to confirm), and Lily is the only one to save this world.

Camelot Burning - Kathryn Rose
An alternate idea of the Legend of King Arthur, with a lady-in-waiting come sorcerer's apprentice protagonist? Sounds good to me! It features all the much-loved characters, plus a couple of new ones to keep the story fresh. It seems to be that it will also have a slightly steampunk quality next to all the magic and chivalry. I'll be keeping track of this one.

Which books are you looking forward to reading this year?

The Reading Pile #1

So many new posts this month!

Today I want to share with you some of the books I got in the past couple of weeks. Some will take longer to read and review than others so bear with me! I've included some links for you, just in case you want to find out more information on this lot.

The White Queen - Phillipa Gregory
I found this in a charity shop and absolutely had to have it, since it cost all of £1.99. I've seen the TV series, and no doubt the book will be even better.

Starcrossed - Josephine Angelini
A Kindle Daily Deals special; I can never resist a book that's been on my wishlist for ages, especially when the price is a meager 99p.

The Diamond Thief - Sharon Gosling
A circus, a big diamond, thievery and steampunk all mixed into one? Yes. Please. A big thank you is in order for this one, because it had been gifted to me by Capstone to review. So thank you!

Cursed - Casey Odell
I've been hearing things about this book recently, and yesterday I decided to buy it. I was doing a bit of research for a new blog post (coming out on Tuesday) and it was mentioned to me. Since it's free on Kindle, I went for it. I'm looking forward to reviewing it, that's for sure.

Tempus - Holly Lauren
This one is my favourite of the lot at the moment, because I won it yesterday! Thank you very much to Daisy Chain Book Reviews for hosting the giveaway. I can't wait to read it!

Have you read any of these books yet? What did you think?
