Hi everybody!
This weeks Top 5 Wednesday I'll discuss the most recent additions to my wishlist. Click here for my entire wishlist.
I discovered this book through YouTube and thought the synopsis sounded really interesting.
"Kyle Henry has a new name, a new school, and a new life--one without the shadow of the Bonebreaker hanging over him. It's been a year since his serial killer father's execution, and it finally looks like things are turning around for Kyle. Until he recognizes the girl sitting in the back row in homeroom. Naomi Steadman is immediately intrigued by Killdeer Academy's newcomer. She does not know he is the son of the man who murdered her mother. What she does know is she and Kyle have a connection with each other--and a spark that Kyle continues to back away from. Soon after Kyle's arrival, the death count on campus starts to rise. Someone is set on finishing what the Bonebreaker started, and murdering ghosts from the past may be the only thing that can stop the spree."
Next on my wishlist are the Everyman's: pocket poems. I love poetry and I really want to read more poetry and I recently discovered these editions and basically added all that I could find to my wishlist.
Including: Poems of the Sea, Marriage Poems, Indian Love Poems, Irish Poems, Garden Poems, The Great Cat: Poems About Cats, Friendship Poems, Dog Poems, Three Hundred Tang Poems, Poems of the Dead and Undead, War Poems, Scottish Poems, Zen Poems, Arabic Poems, Jazz Poems, Love Poems, Chinese Erotic Poems, Leonard Cohen: Poems and Songs and Poems of Mourning.
Next is another book 'series' that I want to collect. The Penguin: Great Food books.
My wishlist includes: The Chef at War, Love in a Dish and Other Pieces, Recipes and Lessons From a Delicious Cooking Revolution, The Well-Kept Kitchen, The Pleasures of The Table, A Little Dinner Before The Play and A Dissertation Upon Roast Pig & Other Essays.
More to be added.
Next we have: The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I have seen this book going around for a while now but I never really read what it was about. Now I finally know, and I really want to read it!
"Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an élite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality their lives are changed profoundly and for ever, and they discover how hard it can be to truly live and how easy it is to kill.."
And last but certainly not least 'The Leaving' by Tara Altebrando. I'm really, really curious about this one because the synopsis sounds so freaking cool!
"Eleven years ago, six five-year-olds went missing without a trace. After all this time, the people left behind have moved on, or tried to. Until today. Now five of those kids are back. They're sixteen, and they are ...fine. Scarlett comes home and finds a mother she barely recognises, and doesn't really know who she's supposed to be, either. But she remembers Lucas. Lucas remembers Scarlett, too, but they can't recall where they've been or what happened to them. Neither of them remember the sixth victim, Max. He doesn't come back and everyone wants answers. Addictive and unforgettable, The Leaving seethes with rich characters, tense storytelling and high stakes."
