Wishlist Wednesday (On Thursday)


Wishlist Wednesday is a book blog hop hosted on Pen to Paper where we will post about one book  per week that has been on our wishlist for some time, or just added (it's entirely up to you), that we can't wait to get off the wishlist and onto our wonderful shelves.

The Girl of Fire and Thorns (Book 1)
By Rae Carson
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Romance, Adventure
Published: September 20th, 2011

Synopsis:
Once a century, one person is chosen for greatness.
Elisa is the chosen one. 

But she is also the younger of two princesses, the one who has never done anything remarkable. She can't see how she ever will. 

Now, on her sixteenth birthday, she has become the secret wife of a handsome and worldly king—a king whose country is in turmoil. A king who needs the chosen one, not a failure of a princess.

And he's not the only one who seeks her. Savage enemies seething with dark magic are hunting her. A daring, determined revolutionary thinks she could be his people's savior. And he looks at her in a way that no man has ever looked at her before. Soon it is not just her life, but her very heart that is at stake.

Elisa could be everything to those who need her most. If the prophecy is fulfilled. If she finds the power deep within herself. If she doesn’t die young.

Most of the chosen do.

This was the first book to go on my TBR shelf on Goodreads, about a year and a half ago. 
For some reason I haven't even bought this one yet, even though I really want to read it. 
I watched a Tea Time with Team Epic Reads video and they made the book sound fantastic so I've wanted it ever since. I love the synopsis and I love fantasy so I think this one would be a good match me me. Plus this sorta give me some Daughter of Smoke & Bone vibes and I would love another high fantasy read, I'm craving books with beautiful worlds.

Book Blogger Hop: May 8th - 14th

Image
Book Blogger Hop is a weekly writing prompt hosted on Coffee Addicted Writer . Question of the Week: If you had a chance to read a book or watch a movie that is not about a book you have read, which would you choose? My Answer: I have a tendency to judge movies a whole lot more if I have already read the book. This means that instead of truly enjoying the movie my inner monologue is point out everything that is "wrong" with the movie. Due to this I usually watch the movie first, unless I'm really curious about the book. Sometimes even when the movie is not all that great I still decide to read the book (The Vampire Academy). I like to use movies as a way to peak my interest in the book.

Welcome to some awesome bookish shenanigans with Book Beginnings hosted by Rose City Reader and The Friday 56 hosted on Freda's Voice To join you just need a book, turn to page 56, and then share a bit from there without giving too much away. So I'm using the book I'm currently reading and loving:  Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi (Shatter Me #3) Bookish Beginnings I am an hourglass. My seventeen years have buried me from the inside out.  Friday 56 "I was willing to let you go if you'd found something extraordinary.  Someone who could know you in ways I'd never be able to comprehend. Because you deserved that..."  My Thoughts: So just kill me already because I don't think my heart can take much more. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the writing in these books! It's so on point and everything is just so freaking quotable. These books scream READ ME. So go do that and then we can turn to goo together.  I am not going t
