Top Ten Wishes I'd Ask the Book Genie to Grant Me


1. I would like to meet Jim Butcher.
Love the Harry Dresden Files series, and enjoyed the first book in his new series, The Cinder Spires. I would enjoy talking to him about books and life.



2. I would like to live in Harry Dresden’s world for a while...
...as long as I didn’t get hurt or killed. It would be even better if I could partner up with Dresden for a story.

Top Ten Books I Would Love to See as Movies/TV Shows



1. And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini
I recently finished this book, and I was very taken with it. The story follows nine different people and shows how their lives intersect. Some people I’ve talked to who have read this book had a hard time following the stories, but if this was made into a movie, and if you could put a person to the names, it would make it much easier.





2. First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones
I love this series! I will take a vacation day from work so I can read her books as soon as they come out. Charley is a Grim Reaper who helps people into the light. She also solves mysteries, is super funny and lusts after a hot man who may not be human.

Top Ten Books That I Love, But Never Got Around to Writing a Review



1. Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel
This is The Book I recommend to everyone when they are looking for something to read, and have no idea what they want. You get romance, historical elements and food. My perfect trifecta.





2. The Secret History by Donna Tartt
A New England college, students who think their eccentricities make them better than everyone else, a murder, booze, pills, secrets, and more murder. This book made me want to keep reading to see just how far they would go. Plus I have a thing for books with with horror/mysteries that take place on the East Coast, which I attribute to reading Stephen King at a very young age.

Waiting on Wednesday (38): Skin Game by Jim Butcher

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.



Title: Skin Game (The Dresden Files #15)
Author: Jim Butcher
Publisher: Roc
Release Date: May 27, 2014
Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, is about to have a very bad day…

Because as Winter Knight to the Queen of Air and Darkness, Harry never knows what the scheming Mab might want him to do. Usually, it’s something awful.

He doesn’t know the half of it…

Mab has just traded Harry’s skills to pay off one of her debts. And now he must help a group of supernatural villains—led by one of Harry’s most dreaded and despised enemies, Nicodemus Archleone—to break into the highest-security vault in town so that they can then access the highest-security vault in the Nevernever.

It’s a smash-and-grab job to recover the literal Holy Grail from the vaults of the greatest treasure hoard in the supernatural world—which belongs to the one and only Hades, Lord of the freaking Underworld and generally unpleasant character. Worse, Dresden suspects that there is another game afoot that no one is talking about. And he’s dead certain that Nicodemus has no intention of allowing any of his crew to survive the experience. Especially Harry.

Dresden’s always been tricky, but he’s going to have to up his backstabbing game to survive this mess—assuming his own allies don’t end up killing him before his enemies get the chance….


It has an official release date and a cover! I have been not-so-patiently awaiting this since I finished Cold Days in August. I can't wait to see what trouble Dresden and the gang get up to in this one. I do hope to see a lot more of Molly and Murphy being bad-asses.

What are you waiting on this week?
