On My Wish List (66)
On My Wish List is a fun weekly event hosted by Workaday Reads and runs every Saturday. It's where we list all the books we desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming.
Title: Breathless
Author: Jessica Warman
Publication Date: August 18, 2009
Synopsis:
When Katie Kitrell is shipped off to boarding school by her distant father and overbearing mother, it doesn’t take her long to become part of the It Crowd. She’s smart, she’s cute, and she’s an Olympic-bound swimmer who has a first class ticket to any Ivy League school of her choice. But what her new friends, roommate, and boyfriend don’t know is that Katie is swimming away from her past, and from her schizophrenic older brother, Will, who won’t let her go. And when he does the unthinkable, it’s all Katie can do to keep her head above water.
I've decided to go with Breathless this week because it has been on my wish list for at least a year now. I read and loved Warman's Between and am excited about reading this and any other book I can find by her. Unfortunately though, this book also falls into the "I walk into a bookstore and can't remember the name" category. I think I need to start carrying my wish list around so I stop forgetting all the books I want. I hope I can get my hands on this one soon!
What about you? What's on your wish list? Leave me a link and I'll come check it out!
Oh, I totally have a list on Excel of all the books that I want and I keep a print copy in my purse. You never know when you will find a great book sale or a used bookstore.
ReplyDeleteThis soon like a fast and intense read. I completely understand your dilema about book titles. I can never remember any when I'm actually in stores.
