Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about books on your wishlist…
Last week we talked about keeping a wishlist. Why not pull out that list and show us some of the books you’ve been eyeing off?
When I told my non-bookish friends that I have a long wishlist to keep, their very first comment was: "But I thought you've a lot of books which you haven't read?" I know I should hang my head in shame at that remark, after all they are right and I shouldn't be buying more books or even keeping a wishlist knowing that the books in my TBR will probably last me for years, but how could you turn away from any good books, especially when you know you trust your friends' recommendations and that you all share the same reading taste?
Anyway, here are just some of the books that make the priority list (not in any order):
- Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
- Liar by Justine Larbalestier
- Once Was Lost by Sara Zarr
- We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
- The Complete Maus by Art Spiegelman
- The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
- The Love We Share Without Knowing by Christopher Barzak
- The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
What are yours?
