This is a fun weekly event hosted by
Carolyn at Book Chick City,
and runs every Saturday.
Each participating blogger features books
s/he hasn't actually bought yet, but desperately wants to read,
because the stories sound so very fascinating!
These books can be either newly-published,
to be released in the near future,
or they might have been in print for several years.
In my particular case, any books I place
on my wish list are strictly the print versions,
since I do not read ebooks.
Here are my choices for this week!
