Wishlist: Books #1

11:17:00 PM



I have a never ending reading list. At home. In the shelves I have books I have yet to read. But I still look for more. I still buy more. I'm a compulsive buyer. When it comes to books, I mean.  Well,  at least it's something that feeds my mind and warms my soul. But despise having a never ever ending reading list I still hold on to a buying list. And this one just keeps on getting bigger.







"Cath and Wren are identical twins, and until recently they did absolutely everything together. Now they're off to university and Wren's decided she doesn't want to be one half of a pair any more - she wants to dance, meet boys, go to parties and let loose. It's not so easy for Cath. She's horribly shy and has always buried herself in the fan fiction she writes, where she always knows exactly what to say and can write a romance far more intense than anything she's experienced in real life. Without Wren Cath is completely on her own and totally outside her comfort zone. She's got a surly room-mate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words ...And she can't stop worrying about her dad, who's loving and fragile and has never really been alone. Now Cath has to decide whether she's ready to open her heart to new people and new experiences, and she's realizing that there's more to learn about love than she ever thought possible."  Source



"Madam Secretary is a riveting account of the life of America's first woman Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright. For eight years, during Bill Clinton's two presidential terms, Albright was a high-level participant in some of the most dramatic events of our time--from the pursuit of peace in the Middle East to NATO's intervention in the Balkans to America's troubled relations with Iran and Iraq. In this thoughtful memoir, one of the most admired women in U.S. history reflects on her remarkable personal story, including her upbringing in war-torn Europe and the balancing of career and family responsibilities, and on America's leading role in a changing world."

"The hauntingly prophetic classic novel set in a not-too-distant future where books are burned by a special task force of firemen. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read book." Source






"Fangirl" reminds me of myself. The girl who writes fanfiction and is better with words written than spoken. "Madam Secretary" is an inspiration. And being a Democrat this is a must-read! "Fahrenheit 451"...  I just couldn't imagine a world where reading was a crime and books were burn. I've already watched the movie which makes me want to read the novel even more.

  3. I have a massive pile of books on my tbr heap. I'm in the middle of Glaze by Kim Curran, which is out shortly (I'm reviewing it). Then I think I'm going to read the Judas Scar by Amanda Jennings. I really want to read Fangirl, I've heard fab things about it. Popped over following your guest post about why you write on small girl big dreams :)
