Wishful Wednesdays #Meme

While visiting some of my dailies, I found this new #meme by BlueStocking called Wishful Wednesday. In this weekly #meme you can discuss books you are wishing for! After you are done with your blog entry, you just comment on her site with the permalink to let her know you have participated!

After last week’s Wishful Wednesday, my husband bought me Pride & Prejudice & Zombies! He has been extremely supportive and tolerant of my reading! He is a wonderful man!

Among the Hidden – I love Dystopian novels and found this one mentioned on another blog a day or two ago and would love to get it!

Synopsis: (Taken from Amazon.com)

Luke has never been to school. He’s never had a birthday party, or gone to a friend’s house for an overnight. In fact, Luke has never had a friend.

Luke is one of the shadow children, a third child forbidden by the Population Police. He’s lived his entire life in hiding, and now, with a new housing development replacing the woods next to his family’s farm, he is no longer even allowed to go outside.

Then, one day Luke sees a girl’s face in the window of a house where he knows two other children already live. Finally, he’s met a shadow child like himself. Jen is willing to risk everything to come out of the shadows — does Luke dare to become involved in her dangerous plan? Can he afford not to?

The Everafter – Another “saw it on a blog” and thought the cover was rather pretty!

Synopsis: (Taken from Amazon.com)

Madison Stanton doesn’t know where she is or how she got there. But she does know this—she is dead. And alone, in a vast, dark space. The only company she has in this place are luminescent objects that turn out to be all the things Maddy lost while she was alive. And soon she discovers that with these artifacts, she can reexperience—and sometimes even change—moments from her life.

Her first kiss. A trip to Disney World. Her sister’s wedding. A disastrous sleepover.

In reliving these moments, Maddy learns illuminating and sometimes frightening truths about her life—and death.

This is a haunting and ultimately hopeful novel about the beauty of even the most insignificant moments—and the strength of true love even beyond death.

Synopsis: (Taken from Amazon.com)
At 592 pages, Blankets may well be the single largest graphic novel ever published without being serialized first.

Wrapped in the landscape of a blustery Wisconsin winter, Blankets explores the sibling rivalry of two brothers growing up in the isolated country, and the budding romance of two coming-of-age lovers. A tale of security and discovery, of playfulness and tragedy, of a fall from grace and the origins of faith.

A profound and utterly beautiful work from Craig Thompson.
