On My Wishlist (2)

On My Wishlist is a fun weekly event hosted by Book Chick City and runs every Saturday. It's where I list all the books I desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming. It's also an event that you can join in with too - Mr Linky is always at the ready for you to link your own 'On My Wishlist' post.

Across the Universe
Author: Beth Revis
Published: January 2011
Genre: Young Adult

Summary from GoodReads.com
Seventeen-year-old Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed and expects to awaken on a new planet, three hundred years in the future. Never could she have known that her frozen slumber would come to an end fifty years too soon and that she would be thrust into the brave new world of a spaceship that lives by its own rules.
Amy quickly realizes that her awakening was no mere computer malfunction. Someone-one of the few thousand inhabitants of the spaceship-tried to kill her. And if Amy doesn't do something soon, her parents will be next.

Now Amy must race to unlock Godspeed's hidden secrets. But out of her list of murder suspects, there's only one who matters: Elder, the future leader of the ship and the love she could never have seen coming.

I have seen SO many reviews on this book this week. I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Anna and the French Kiss
Author: Stephanie Perkins
Published:
Genre: Young Adult

Summary from GoodReads.com
Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris—until she meets Étienne St. Claire: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home.

As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near-misses end with the French kiss Anna—and readers—have long awaited?

  2. I haven't read either. I'm really looking forward to Anna and the French Kiss . Across the Universe has had really high grades with reviewers. It didn't sound good until I starting reading what bloggers had to say and now I'm up for reading it too!

  3. I actually got Anna and the French Kiss for Christmas, and I haven't gotten a chance to read it just yet! I'm looking forward to it. And I picked up Across the Universe at the library. Wonderful cover! I hope you get your hands on a copy of each because I've heard pretty good things about both and I'm excited for both of them! Thanks for stopping by the blog, Christy! Have a wonderful weekend, be safe, and happy reading!
