The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson

This series is so good.  I've been not so patiently waiting for this to come out.  I'm not really a huge fan of this genre, but these books are must buy for me.  Sadly, this is the last in the series.

Galway Bay by Mary Pat Kelly

Historical fiction

Fire by Kristin Cashore

Fire is the prequel to Graceling.

What Books have you been wishing for lately. Weekly event hosted by Should be Reading.

With so many new, interesting books coming out, and plenty of older books I really want to read, its so easy to come up with a couple of books I'm wishing for.

Fiction

I wasn't  really fan of The Time Traveler's Wife, but the book description on this one sounds really good, and I'm always willing to give a author another try.

I'm a fan of both mysteries, and historical fiction, why not get both in one book.  I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of this.

Nonfiction

This one is going to have my emotions flying all over the place.  Enough Said.

I saw a special on TV about Woodstock not to long ago, and after watching it I immediately started searching for books about it.  This one seems really cool, the description says there are a lot of pictures and interviews.

What are you wishing for this Wednesday?

I hope it gets to me soon.

My Wishes

From Goodreads- On an ordinary Friday afternoon, on a highway outside London, a truck suddenly swerves across fives lanes of traffic, careening cars into each other like dominoes and leaving a trail of chaos and confusion. Within minutes, an astounding miles-long pileup has amassed, and as survivors await help, their stories begin to unfold. There’s the panic-stricken husband trapped in the jam with his mistress, a widow on her way to reunite with her first love, the bridegroom trying frantically to get to the church on time, the young woman going into premature labor, the junior doctor waiting to receive the crash victims in the ER…. And at the center of it all is the only person who knows what really happened, the mysterious hitchhiker who has fled the scene.

My Wishes

This week these 3 books are the ones i'm wishing to get my hands on.

The Angel's Game- Carlos Ruiz Zafon

From Goodreads- In the turbulent and mysterious Barcelona of the 1920s, David Martin, a young novelist obsessed with a forbidden love, receives an offer from an enigmatic publisher to write a book like no other before—a book for which "people will live and die." In return, he is promised a fortune and, perhaps, much more.

The Seance- John Harwood

From Goodreads- Constance Langton, a young woman living in London in 1889, opens the narrative with a first-person description of how she came to be involved in the world of ‘spiritualists’ and séances, in an effort to help her mother who has never got over the death of Constance’s baby sister years before. We then go back in time almost 20 years, to hear the narrative of John Montague, which details the mysterious goings on at the utterly sinister-sounding Wraxford Hall—the site of several unsolved deaths. By the time we reach the narrative of Eleanor Unwin, whose seeming psychic abilities threaten to destroy her life, we begin to have an inkling of how these first two stories are linked.


Lush Life- Richard Price

From Goodreads- So, what do you do?” Whenever people asked him, Eric Cash used to have a dozen answers. Artist, actor, screenwriter . . . But now he’s thirty-five years old and he’s still living on the Lower East Side, still in the restaurant business, still serving the people he wanted to be. What does Eric do? He manages. Not like Ike Marcus. Ike was young, good-looking, people liked him. Ask him what he did, he wouldn’t say tending bar. He was going places—until two street kids stepped up to him and Eric one night and pulled a gun. At least, that’s Eric’s version.
