On My Wishlist #2 (10/22/2011)

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? Click here.

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? 

Future Reads #8 - Blood by K.J. Wignall

Here's another book about to get released in a couple of weeks that I'm looking forward to reading...

Blood (Mercian Trilogy, #1)

by K.J. Wignall

Publication Date: September 27, 2011

Genre: Paranormal/Vampires

I do not remember being bitten. I wish I did, for then I would know the creature who did this to me and I would have a purpose, to track him down and repay him for the poisoned gift he gave me...

Back in the 13th century, Will was destined to be Earl of Mercia, although he never lived to inherit his title. In the centuries that follow, Will has led a lonely life, learning to deal with whatever the present day throws at him, always searching for answers, but never finding any. Until this time, when he awakens after a 20-year slumber, hungry for the blood that sustains his undeath, when it appears that he is finally getting a glimpse at why he exists. He does indeed have a destiny, and an enemy, but revealing that fate will be a matter of trust.

I've been reading early reviews about this one, and people have been saying that it's a story that you're either going to totally love or totally deplore. I don't know what I'll think, but I'm already thinking it could be up my alley. I do love centuries-old lonely, brooding vampire guys who philosophize about their lives nearly as acutely as Hamlet! 

Call me weird--that wouldn't be inaccurate, after all. But, I'm thinking this one could work for me. There will be blood... and, romance, so I've read.
