On My Wishlist #4

On My Wishlist is a weekly meme brought to us by Book Chick City. Each Saturday I will post a book from my every growing to-read list that I still need to buy and dig into.


I've got two books on my wishlist this week.  They are going to both be coming out this week, so I am so excited.  

The first one is The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. Danforth.  This is one that caught my eye in early January.  Some very controversial issues in a coming-of-age novel.  I look forward to this debut novel arriving on February 7, 2012.


Summary from Goodreads:  When Cameron Post’s parents die suddenly in a car crash, her shocking first thought is relief. Relief she’ll never have to tell them that, hours earlier, she had been kissing a girl. 


But that relief soon turns to heartbreak, as Cam is forced to move in with her conservative aunt Ruth. She knows that from this point on, her life will forever be different. Survival in Miles City, Montana, means blending in and not making waves, and Cam becomes an expert at this—especially at avoiding any questions about her sexuality. 


Then Coley Taylor moves to town. Beautiful pickup-driving Coley is a perfect cowgirl with the perfect boyfriend to match. To Cam’s surprise, she and Coley become best friends—while Cam secretly dreams of something more. Just as that starts to seem like a real possibility, her secret is exposed. Ultrareligious Aunt Ruth takes drastic action to “fix” her niece, bringing Cam face-to-face with the cost of denying her true self—even if she’s not quite sure who that is. 


The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a stunning and unforgettable literary debut about discovering who you are and finding the courage to live life according to your own rules

The next one is Born Wicked (The Cahill Witch Chronicles #1) by Jessica Spotswood. Love the image on the cover.She looks like anything but a witch!!   This one comes out on February 7, 2012 as well.  


Summary from Goodreads:  "Blessed with a gift..."cursed" with a secret." 
Everybody knows Cate Cahill and her sisters are eccentric. Too pretty, too reclusive, and far too educated for their own good. But the truth is even worse: they're witches. And if their secret is discovered by the priests of the Brotherhood, it would mean an asylum, a prison ship - or an early grave. 


Before her mother died, Cate promised to protect her sisters. But with only six months left to choose between marriage and the Sisterhood, she might not be able to keep her word . . . especially after she finds her mother's diary, uncovering a secret that could spell her family's destruction. Desperate to find alternatives to their fate, Cate starts scouring banned books and questioning rebellious new friends, all while juggling tea parties, shocking marriage proposals, and a forbidden romance with the completely unsuitable Finn Belastra. 


If what her mother wrote is true, the Cahill girls aren't safe. Not from the Brotherhood, the Sisterhood - not even from each other
