Wishlist Wednesday June 18th, 2014

Wishlist Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted at Pen to Paper Blog, in which we feature a book we can't wait to get off of our wish list and onto our shelves!  Today I go into surgery, so I'm posting some books I'd really like to have that are already out, but I am too broke to get them at the moment.  Guess I'll be checking into the library soon.

Since I just finished book 5, see my review of it HERE, I am very eager to go on and finish the series.  

The first two in the series I was able to read as e-galleys.  I unfortunately never got an e-galley for this one, so now I will have to get ahold of the actual book.

Another book that I need is the 3rd one in the Caster Chronicles, since I just finished Book 2 in the series.

Those are the three books that I'm really wanting to get ahold of soon so that I can continue on with the stories before they get too far back and I have trouble getting back into them.  What book or books are on your wishlist this week?

Wishlist Wednesday: Bloggers I'm Hoping to Meet at BEA 2014

Hoping to meet the two crazy girls from the Epic Reads Tea Time fame, Aubry and Margot.

Wishlist Wednesday: Authors I'm Hoping to Meet at BEA 2014

Wishlist Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted at Pen to Paper Blog, in which we feature a book we can't wait to get off of our wish list and onto our shelves!  For the month of May, I'm choosing to participate, but in a little bit different way.  Each Wednesday I'm going to talk about something I'm wishing to happen at BEA this summer.  This week I'm going to talk about the authors I'm hoping to meet in almost exactly 2 weeks!!  Now, because the list is soooooo long, I'm going to stick to the authors I want to meet for the first time.  So many authors I've met before that I can't wait to see again, but again, I'm going to shorten the list a bit this way.  I'll list them in no particular order, other than going through my schedule, so they'll kind of be in order of how I will get to meet them.

• Lauren Oliver
• Jennifer Donnelly
• Lemony Snicket (he was there when I went 2 years ago, but I didn't get a ticket to meet him)
• Melissa de la Cruz
• Lois Lowry (I saw her at the Children's book breakfast 2 years ago, but didn't get to actually meet her)
• Billy Idol (yes, the 80's rock star, yes, he has a book!)
• Pseudonymous Bosch
• R.L. Stine (he was at a booth signing 2 years ago, and I walked by and got a picture, but didn't get to meet him)
• Douglas Preston
• BJ Novak (Ryan from The Office!)
• Gregory Maguire
• AG Howard
• Marie Lu
• Amanda Maciel
• Michael Grant
• Seth Grahame-Smith
• Stan Lee (Yes, THE Stan Lee of comic book fame!)
• CJ Lyons
• Cassandra Clare
• Libba Bray
• Jennifer Armentrout
• Wendy Corsi Staub
• JR Johansson (not on the schedule that I can find, but she told me she'd be there on Saturday)
• Grumpy Cat (yes, the internet sensation!  I'm allergic to cats, but how can I not meet him?)

Now, there are a few that I've already met that I want to include in this list, because I want to point something out about them.

• Julie Kagawa:  I met her when I went to BEA in 2012.  BUT, while I knew of her, I hadn't read any of her books yet.  Now that I have, I can really fangirl when I meet her again!
• Amy Plum:  I think I met her last year at the RT Convention here in Kansas City, but again, I hadn't read any of her books yet.  Now I can actually tell her how I liked them!
• Maggie Stiefvater:  If you've followed me for awhile, you know that I've met Ms. Stiefvater many times.  And that I have a cool connection of my picture being in a school biography type book of her.  I really want to show her this, and get her autograph in it if possible, even though we're only supposed to have them autograph the book they are "officially" there for.  I'm sneaking it in and trying it anyway.  She is a ticketed author this year.  Pretty cool!

There are many more that I've already met, including several authors that I just saw the other night as part of the Dark Days of Summer Tour.  Next week I'm going to do a wishlist of bloggers I hope to meet. And I can only list the bloggers that I know are going.  So if you're going to be at BEA as well, make sure you let me know so that I can list you and link back to your blog!

Wishlist Wednesday: Books I'm hoping to get at BEA 2014

Wishlist Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted at Pen to Paper Blog, in which we feature a book we can't wait to get off of our wish list and onto our shelves!  I actually haven't participated in this since last summer I think.  And for the month of May, I'm choosing to participate, but in a little bit different way.  Each Wednesday I'm going to talk about something I'm wishing to happen at BEA this summer.  This week I've chosen to share the books that I'm hoping to get at BEA.  Some are books already published, some will be advanced readers copies.  So, without further ado, let me get started, as this will be a big list.

Day 1:


 


Day 2:


Day 3:

-->

And honestly, that's not even all! Those are just the ones that I know I really want to get. There are others that I might try to get for my niece, or to give away on my blog.  

See anything you'd want to pick up as well?  I think next week I'll share the names of the authors that I'm really excited to meet.  Some of them I will get a book from, but I don't actually want/need that book because I either already have it, or it isn't a series I read.  So those people aren't even listed here.
