Wishlist Wednesday 6/10

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, where bloggers can spotlight and share "upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating".

My "Waiting on's" are a little different – I post a gallery of upcoming books I'm anticipating, and give links to the descriptions and websites. So this post will be called "Wishlist Wednesday" from now on, but I will still be linking up with Waiting on Wednesday.

Wonderful "waiting on"s:

Forever by Maggie Steifvater – the beautiful cover came out just last week, and I'm reading Linger at the moment which is proving to be very enticing) – can't wait for this one!

Behemoth by Scott Westerfeld – (the sequel to Leviathan by the highly-acclaimed Australian author Scott Westerfeld, of the Uglies series.) I haven't read Scott Westerfeld yet, but this series is intriguing, and a total deviation from his normal genre.

Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen – A new series by the author of The Luxe. I've read some great reviews, and who doesn't love a historical romance?

Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl – Aah. Who isn't excited for more juice on the Casters, and Lena and Ethan's doomed relationship?
۩๑ See my review of Beautiful Creatures on the Penguin 'Between the Lines' website.

WOMG (Wow + omg) "Waiting Ons":

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins – There are raving reviews on this one! A love-triangle story with delicious French guys…I haven't been this excited about contemporary since Meg Cabot.

Across the Universe by Beth Revis – Methinks dystopia is the new vampire? (Yay! Go Sci-fi.) I sure can't wait for Across the Universe, especially not after reading this (uncorrected proof) sample first chapter.

Matched by Ally Condie – (The book with the whopping 7 FIGURE DEAL) And of course, I'm beside myself with excitement at the upcoming release of Matched in November 2010. I've read the ARC…but I can't wait to read the finished copy, because if the ARC is already breathtaking, how out-of-this-world brilliant will the finished version be?
۩๑ Listen to an excerpt of Matched read by Kate Simses. I loved it – she's got the perfect voice for Cassia.

۩๑ EXCERPT OF MATCHED!

What are you waiting on?

My Bright Young Things review - I LOVED it! (shameless link) :D It got a 5/5, and I never give out 5/5. I'm looking forward to the rest, as well. I like your new WOW feature system. Way to be that little bit more original. *gold star for you, Tina*

Hurry up and release, books!!

Ah, I'm so waiting on Anna. I have been since I started blogging. WANT IT NOW.

As for Scott Westerfeld - I've read the Uglies series and Peeps series, and he's absolutely brilliant! I'm about to start Leviathan soon. The trailer blew me away!

Great picks this week Tina! I loved Matched and Bright Young Things, I have an ARC of Across the Universe but I haven't read it yet but I'm sure it's going to be great. Anna and the French Kiss sounds amazing too.

I'm waiting on pretty much all of these, but especially Bright Young Things and Anna and the French kiss, which both sound great. Linger was a little hit and miss for me, but I'm still looking forward to reading Forever to see how the story wraps up.

My WoW is up on my blog. :)
