On My Wishlist #3 (10/29/2011)

 Current Halloween Giveaway!
Win an ebook of A Soul to Steal by Rob Blackwell.

On My Wishlist is a fun weekly event hosted by Book Chick City and runs every Saturday. It's where you list all the books you desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming. It's also an event that you can join in with too - Mr Linky is always at the ready for you to link your own 'On My Wishlist' post. Want to know more?

I've got another On My Wishlist post this week, "The Monster" edition (heh-heh)...


MY MONSTROUS WISHLIST
(but, not in size, mind you) 


The Monstrumologist (The Monstrumologist, #1)
by Rick Yancey

Monster hunting! I've heard nothing but good things about this book, and although I can get squeamish, I still really want to give this one a try. I love gothic tales set in the past, so I hope this one won't scare me too much...



Beastly 
by Alex Flinn

I know, this one isn't quite the horror novel, but it DOES star a monster, essentially. I've already read and reviewed this one, but I've been wanting to actually own it, since I checked it out from the library before. It is a really great read, for those who haven't tried it out, yet. A wonderful modern interpretation of Beauty and the Beast



The Hunchback Assignments (The Hunchback Assignments, #1)
by Arthur Slade

Two words for you... mad scientist. That's all I need to know. Here's my ten dollars.... Okay, seriously though, I loves me some mad scientists, which is probably why I'm such a big Frankenstein fan. This one has a mad scientist turning children into automatons because this novel is a steampunk. Well, that's not WHY, but it is steampunk, anyway. It's sounds awesome and I'm wanting to read this.




What do y'all want for Halloween this year?

  2. I'm really curious about Beastly and wouldn't mind getting it myself! I'm also keen to see the movie even though it hasn't had great reviews.

  3. I really enjoyed Beastly. Actually, I enjoyed the movie just a little bit more than the book even. Great picks this week! Here's mine...

  5. I don't know what it is but even cute Frankenstein is scary! I've just added Beastly to my list of books to read. I love a great classical retelling.

  7. I've picked up Beastly a couple times and put it back down, because all I can picture is the girl from the High School Musical movies...I hope that someday I can move past that and actually read the book, because I love Beauty and the Beast.

  8. Hi there! I routinely patrol the web for my artwork and I happened to find your blog.

    While I greatly appreciate it that you cited me as the artist, I would also appreciate it if, in the future, you sent me a note on DA, email, or some other form of communication just letting me know where my art is going.

    Thank you so much for your support, and for promoting me. Be sure to check out my tumblr account at 10minutemonsters.tumblr.com

    Have a good one!!

    -Goss
