On My Wishlist


I haven't done a meme like this in ages so why not. This one is hosted by Book Chick City.


Shadows before the sun by Kelly Gay
TBA Summer 2012
I saw the cover for the first time today, I can't wait!!!


Unsticky by Sarra Manning
Headline review


High fashion, high art, high expectations – this is Pretty Woman for the twenty-first century Money makes the world go round – that’s what twenty-something Grace Reeves is learning. Stuck in a grind where everyone’s ahead apart from her, she’s partied out, disillusioned, and massively in debt. If she’s dumped by another rock-band wannabe, squashed by anyone else at her cut-throat fashion job, or chased by any more bailiffs, Grace suspects she’ll fall apart… 

So when older, sexy and above all, wealthy art-dealer Vaughn appears, she’s intrigued against her will. Could she handle being a sugar daddy’s arm candy? 

Soon Grace is thrown into a world of money and privilege, at Vaughn’s beck and call in return for thousands of pounds in luxurious gifts, priceless clothes – and cash. Where’s the line between acting the trophy girlfriend, and selling yourself for money? 

And, more importantly: whatever happened to love?

I saw this one on two blog, and I am very curious. They sure made me want it.


The Sister Queens by Sophie Perinot
March 2012 Nal Trade


Like most sisters, Marguerite and Eleanor were rivals. 
They were also queens. 

Raised together at the 13th Century court of their father, Raymond Berenger, Count of Provence, Marguerite and Eleanor are separated by royal marriages—but never truly parted. 

Patient, perfect, reticent, and used to being first, Marguerite becomes Queen of France. Her husband, Louis IX, is considered the greatest monarch of his age. But he is also a religious zealot who denies himself all pleasure—including the love and companionship his wife so desperately craves. Can Marguerite find enough of her sister’s boldness to grasp her chance for happiness in the guise of forbidden love? 

Passionate, strong-willed, and stubborn, Eleanor becomes Queen of England. Her husband, Henry III, is neither as young nor as dashing as Marguerite’s. But she quickly discovers he is a very good man…and a very bad king. His failures are bitter disappointments for Eleanor, who has worked to best her elder sister since childhood. Can Eleanor stop competing with her sister and value what she has, or will she let it slip away?

I want this one :D

What is on your wishlist?

Update:
I changed back to normal comments, which means fullpage view since some of you could not see or respond when I had on embedded comments. A problem I had noticed myself too on some blogs.
