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?

So, here's my OMW post for this week's meme. I've already purchased two of the books on my list from last week! (But, I need to ban myself. I'm going broke.)

MY BLOODY WISHLIST

Blood Will Tell (Warriors of Ankh, #1) 

by Samantha Young

Hello, handsome fellow gracing the cover! But, seriously, this is a self-published title that sounds fantastic, and everybody's raving about it. I've read just a little of the beginning and it's making me feel inadequate as a writer, as I head into NaNoWriMo next month. That must mean it's quite impressively written. It's only $0.99 as an ebook, but I've banned myself from buying anymore books for the time being.

Blood (Mercian Trilogy, #1)

by K. J. Wignall

 

Well, if it isn't another handsome fellow gracing the cover! This is a vampire book about a broody, old guy who looks perpetually sixteen. That could be enough to brood over, but I'd rather be stuck at sixteen than sixty for the rest of my immortal life. 

Bloodspell (Bloodspell, #1) 

by Amalie Howard

This one's about a witch and a old journal. It sounds interesting and there's good talk of this one. I love the cover, too. I love these sepia-toned covers for some reason.

That's my On My Wishlist wishlist. What's on yours?

I just found this meme and it's so perfect for me! When is there ever a book I want but haven't bought yet?

MY YA WISHLIST 

(10/15/11)

This Dark Endeavor: The Apprenticeship of Victor Frankenstein 

by Kenneth Oppel

It's funny I have this on my wishlist, since I've already purchased this book, but am STILL waiting for it to arrive at my house.... Yeah, it's taking its time getting here and I'm getting impatient. I can't wait to read this! I bought it when I was practically down to my last dime because I found a used copy cheaper than I could anywhere else, so I had to get it before it was too late. (Just get here already!)

Darker Still (Magic Most Foul, #1)

by Leanna Renee Hieber

I read a bit of the beginning of this, already, over on the author's blog, and it blew me away! I cannot wait to tear into this gem when it comes out next month. It is another Victorian read, although set in the U.S., I believe. Love reading Victorians...

Across the Universe (Across the Universe, #1)

by Beth Revis

This isn't a fantasy novel, but sci-fi is close enough for just this one time. I've already read this book and I love it. But, I borrowed it from the library, so I want to buy it this time. I really hate the hardcover book cover, so I'm going to get the paperback when it comes out next month. This new cover is gorgeous.

What's on YOUR wishlists, people of the interwebz?
