I've been browsing Goodreads and I startled at the title. Soulless. Quite an interesting title and cover lay out for a paranormal genre kind of a book. I though this one categorized as chic-lit. Reading the reviewers thoughts really encouraged me to wish to have the book. And the series has interesting storyline, sounds funnily reckless too.. =)

Title: Soulless (The Parasol Protectorate #1)
Author: Gail Carriger
Genre: YA, Fiction, Paranormal.
Pages: 357 pages

The Summary (Goodreads):

Alexia Tarabotti is laboring under a great many social tribulations. First, she has no soul. Second, she's a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead. Third, she was rudely attacked by a vampire, breaking all standards of social etiquette.

Where to go from there? From bad to worse apparently, for Alexia accidentally kills the vampire -- and then the appalling Lord Maccon (loud, messy, gorgeous, and werewolf) is sent by Queen Victoria to investigate.

With unexpected vampires appearing and expected vampires disappearing, everyone seems to believe Alexia responsible. Can she figure out what is actually happening to London's high society? Will her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers prove useful or just plain embarrassing? Finally, who is the real enemy, and do they have treacle tart?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next series Changeless and Blameless will be released/ due out in paperback in March and September 2010. I think it will definitely a must to buy =)

So, I've been pondering about Lauren Kate's new Fallen sequel, Torment. It's gothic and I went look out with the Fallen, found the story interesting, and I think this book is the next book on my wish list. Yeay!!

Title: Fallen (#1)
Author: Lauren Kate
Genre: YA Fantasy, Fiction
Pages: 452
The Summary (Goodreads):

There’s something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.

Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price’s attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.

Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce–and goes out of his way to make that very clear–she can’t let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her.

~~~~~~~~~~~

And now about the latest sequel, Torment, I love the book cover. And hope I will buy both in one go. Don't you love the cover and I just realize they keep covering the faces of the model for both book's cover. Honestly, I love it!

I love James Patterson's novel. Mostly when he writes some kind of thrill and action genre. Yet, I found about this book at one of the bookstores, the end of last year. But I didn't buy it because they only have hardcover's copy. I've read the synopsis from his website and psyched. I've read Daniel X a few years back and like it. The book I'm talking about is a witchcraft and wizardry series from him, entitled Witch and Wizard. It's been so like yesterday since Harry Potter's series end. I bet this one kind of cool, too. Have you read/own this one yet?

Title: Witch and Wizard (#1)
Author: James Patterson
Genre: YA Fantasy, Fiction
Pages: 416
The Summary:

The world is changing--the government has seized control of almost everything and kids are disappearing. For 15 year-old Wisty and her older brother Whit, life turns upside-down when they are hauled out of bed one night, separated from their parents, and thrown into a secret compound for no reason they can comprehend, except that the new government is clearly trying to suppress Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Imprisoned together in a decrepit cell, Wisty and Whit cling to the only things they have left--a blank book, a drum stick, and each other. While searching for ways to escape, both begin exhibiting strange abilities. Maybe there is a reason they were singled out!

Can Wisty and Whit, a witch and a wizard, master their skills in time to save themselves, their parents--and maybe the world?

I'm thinking of what books will be that I want to pile up in my wish-list. I have no idea, particularly or certainly because there are so many books unread and my fiancee keep lecturing me. Well, I like buying any books I can reach at bookstores/online whether it's new, used, half-price or whatever in between. I know he's somewhat more on non-fiction (management, motivation, business thingy books..urghhh..) and he likes to finish what he has first, then buy a new one afterward. The only thing we could share is comic/ cartoon magazines. *LOL* or maybe the Chicken Soup for The Soul Collections.

Okay, enough on that. I know what I want to have now. His Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman. I haven't read any of this trilogy. Maybe I might read it soon. I've watch the Golden Compass and fascinating by the story. Bet the books will be better.


Book title: The Northern Light #1 (The Golden Compass)

Author: Philip Pullman

Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy
Summary (Goodreads):

Some books improve with age--the age of the reader, that is. Such is certainly the case with Philip Pullman's heroic, at times heart-wrenching novel, The Golden Compass, a story ostensibly for children but one perhaps even better appreciated by adults. The protagonist of this complex fantasy is young Lyra Belacqua, a precocious orphan growing up within the precincts of Oxford University. But it quickly becomes clear that Lyra's Oxford is not precisely like our own--nor is her world. For one thing, people there each have a personal dæmon, the manifestation of their soul in animal form. For another, hers is a universe in which science, theology, and magic are closely allied:

"As for what experimental theology was, Lyra had no more idea than the urchins. She had formed the notion that it was concerned with magic, with the movements of the stars and planets, with tiny particles of matter, but that was guesswork, really. Probably the stars had dæmons just as humans did, and experimental theology involved talking to them."

Not that Lyra spends much time worrying about it; what she likes best is "clambering over the College roofs with Roger the kitchen boy who was her particular friend, to spit plum stones on the heads of passing Scholars or to hoot like owls outside a window where a tutorial was going on, or racing through the narrow streets, or stealing apples from the market, or waging war." But Lyra's carefree existence changes forever when she and her dæmon, Pantalaimon, first prevent an assassination attempt against her uncle, the powerful Lord Asriel, and then overhear a secret discussion about a mysterious entity known as Dust. Soon she and Pan are swept up in a dangerous game involving disappearing children, a beautiful woman with a golden monkey dæmon, a trip to the far north, and a set of allies ranging from "gyptians" to witches to an armor-clad polar bear.

Everyone might already have this but I don't, yet. The books I'm talking about is Marked from The House of Night Series. I bet most of the YA fans already finish the 6th and probably can't wait for the 7th book of the series.. =)

Book title: Marked (The House of Nights #1)

Format: Paperback

Genre: Fiction-YA Fantasy
Paperback: 348
Summary: (Goodreads)

The House of Night series is set in a world very much like our own, except in 16-year-old Zoey Redbird's world, vampyres have always existed. In this first book in the series, Zoey enters the House of Night, a school where, after having undergone the Change, she will train to become an adult vampire--that is, if she makes it through the Change. Not all of those who are chosen do. It’s tough to begin a new life, away from her parents and friends, and on top of that, Zoey finds she is no average fledgling. She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess, Nyx. But she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers. When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite club, is misusing her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny--with a little help from her new vampyre friends.

So another is Book #2 City of Ashes and Book #3 City of Glass. I've read a lot of good reviews of how excellent. I'm not going to tell about these books much. Because I know most of you already know about this.. =p

Ok, when I think of what book I want next, I stumbled for a while. Then I feel like, there's so much I want that I couldn't state each of it in one entry. Sometime when I go to the bookstore, it seems that I want to buy everything! And there is also a moment that I plan to buy this one book, but I turn out buying another book that I don't really plan to buy. So, I think for my wish list, I want to wish only for one for a week. So, this week, I wish for;

Book title: Inkdeath (Inkheart Trilogy #3)

Author: Cornelia Funke

Format: Paperback

Genre: Fiction-YA Fantasy
Paperback: 736 pages
Summary: (Goodreads)

Ever since the extraordinary events of Inkspell, when the enchanted book Inkheart drew Meggie and her father, Mo, into its chapters, life in the Inkworld has been more tragic than magical. Dustfinger is dead, having sacrificed his life for his apprentice's, and now, under the rule of the evil Adderhead, the fairy-tale land is in bloody chaos, its characters far beyond the control of Fenoglio, their author. Facing the threat of eternal winter, Mo inks a dangerous deal with Death itself. There yet remains a faint hope of changing the cursed story—if only he can fills its pages fast enough.

Inkdeath—the captivating final tale in the Inkheart trilogy.

I know I'm so not updated person about books..Maybe everyone already read the trilogy =( Well, I've read Inkheart and Inkspell, but not Inkdeath, yet. The final installment of Inkheart seems has good reviews from a lot of readers. I myself didn't really enjoy the first trilogy, Inkheart but the second one, Inkspell is really exciting and love it a lot. I'm so eager to read the final trilogy, and of course has to wait.. *sob sob*

on my wishlist #1

I'm joining another meme again.. *wink2* But i think this is fun! Right at this moment, my reading on the current read is a bit slow. And I don't know when I'm going to finish reading and start on the next one.

Book title: Can't Take My Eyes of You

Author: Judith McNaught

Format: Paperback

Genre: Fiction-Contemporary Romance
Paperback: 352 pages
Summary/Description: (I copied this from the back of Every Breath You Take *LOL*)

Maid of honor at her sister's wedding, Chicago veterinarian Holly Braxton must face best man Clay Westmoreland, NFL star quarterback, ten years after the disastrous, youthful encounter with him that forever changed Holly's life.

"A brilliantly written, triumphant tale of love lost and regained- with appearences by popular characters from her previous books- Can't Take My Eyes off You reminds us why 'Judith McNaught is in class by herself'" (USA Today).

I know that most of books I owned are not really dominated by the Contemporary Romance/Historical Romance. The only novels collection on that particular genre I have are books from Judith McNaught and Danielle Steele. I've been waiting for the book release since last 2008..I've heard that the release was several times being delayed regarding to the author's family member (I think her mom) is not being well for the time being. I love most of her other books and I think it could be worth while waiting since there's so many other cool books to read. But I will definitely get this book once it's being released (or should I say once it's being released in Malaysia..?)
