Wishlist Wednesday #1

I found this really cool meme hosted by the Pen to Paper blog (which has some really lovely reviews, so definitely check her out!). Basically, you just post a different book from your wishlist every Wednesday.

I figured this would  be a way to make sure I update at least every week, because I won't be doing very many reviews this month.

Now comes the tough part: deciding which book on my to-be-read list to have the honor of being my first Wishlist Wednesday choice. After a lot of debating, I've decided on Cinder by Marissa Meyer.

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. . . . 

Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.



This is actually unlike anything I've ever read, and the synopsis intrigues me to no end. I've only heard good things about the Lunar Chronicles, so I feel like I absolutely have to get my hands on a copy of this. I can't seem to find it anywhere offline, though. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

  1. I absolutely loved this book and Scarlet too but not quite as much as Cinder. It is such an original and fresh re-telling of the Cinderella story. I'd definitely recommend that you buy and read it ASAP. Also I just noticed you're reading The Diviners and I'm in the mood for a big chunky book so I might just pick this up tonight!

    1. I can't wait to get my hands on them, but I can't seem to find hardcover or paperback copies anywhere. I might have to settle for the eBooks.
