On My Wishlist

Hey everyone! It's EARLY on Saturday morning and that means that it's time for On My Wishlist, hosted by Book Chick City.

I just started participating in this meme thing-a-ma-bob last week and have completely fallen in love. One of my favorite things to do is read other blogs and then run over to Paperbackswap.com and add books to my wishlist. There's something special about being number 19394379394888 in line for a book and then checking a few weeks, or months, later and seeing that you're now number 2, or better yet, that the book is on it's way! With an ever growing list, I think I'll be able to keep it fresh for ye'all!

So, here are my 3 wish list books for this week!

  4. "Saving Max", a very detailed heart wrenching story that pulls you in from the start, a true master piece. A life sent into chaos and must recover and last through what no mother or child should have to go through.
    What would you go through to save your only child ? And in the process of it all she still manages to find love, so in a way she has the over whelming experience to thank for her love and her son. As for the doctor he deserves life in hell for the termoil he caused as well as does m she deserves it more than any of them.
