My Sunday book meme
highlights books that I own,
but have somehow
never gotten to,
as well as those wonderful books
I would love to re-read!!
Here's my special list
for this week!
Hardcover, 487 pages
HarperTeen
May 31, 2011
Genre: Paranormal Romance,
Urban Fantasy
From the Goodreads Synopsis
Helen Hamilton has spent her entire sixteen years trying to hide how different she is--no easy task on an island as small and sheltered as Nantucket.
Nightmares of a desperate desert journey have Helen waking parched, only to find her sheets damaged by dirt and dust.
. . . and when Helen first crosses paths with Lucas Delos, she has no way of knowing they're destined to play the leading roles in a tragedy the Fates insist on repeating throughout history.
I've owned this book for several months,
and still haven't read it!
Well, it's part of my TBR Pile
Reading Challenge,
so I will definitely be getting to it!!
The cover is simply stunning,
and the plot within sounds
just as beautiful!
Besides, I do want to read it
before I start on the sequel,
Dreamless, soon to be released!!

This is my way of reminding myself that
I need to start this series...
I know I have the first volume,
Glass Houses, somewhere around the house.
That's why I put this one up instead!
Seriously, though, I've heard nothing but
great things about these books.
This is another one for that reading challenge!

I happened to see this one at Borders
just before it closed down.
That gives me a very nostalgic feel...
This novel sounds like a very enchanting,
utterly riveting fantasy,
and of course it's part of
that TBR pile reading challenge!
