Im trying to cut down on adding to my wishlist as Im on a ban. I mean, I cant exaclty add loads cos that would defeat the object of my ban once its over if I go out and buy everything on there wouldnt it! Anyway because of this I’m only going to post two books on my wishlist this week. The first is one I asw reviewed on My Favourite Books by Essjay and in her review she mentioned that the hardback of this book is really pretty… Im a sucker for a pretty hardback and the story sounds amazing so it had to go on the wishlist….

Amplified is on my list too – how awesome does it sound 😀
The other book looks scary – will keep an eye out so you can review it to see if the horror fiends in the library will like it 😀
