The Wish List #3

Hey there fellow book lovers, its Dusty from the Dust Jacket here brining you another weekly Wish List. I hope in the next few days I’ll be able to upload another Pigeon Hole segment as I have ordered some pre-Christmas books! On that note, let’s get started with this week’s Wish List, because boy do I want these books!

Inheritance – Christopher Paolini

The Inheritance Cycle was a set of books my sister actually introduced me to. Inheritance is the fourth and final book in the series, preceded by Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr.

This looks set to be a thrilling conclusion to what has been a really good series. If I’m really lucky this little baby may land in what is sure to be a massive Christmas book haul and I can tell you that there will certainly be a happy dance moment should it be buried amongst the tinsel and wrapping paper.

I simply cannot wait to get my hands on this tome; the past three have been exciting and I’m sure Christopher Paolini has delivered a climax to the series his readers will not soon forget. All I can hope for is that it lives up to my extra-ordinary expectations. Is Inheritance on your Christmas list?

The Prisoner – Robert Muchamore

I’ve never been as keen on the Henderson’s Boys series as I have the CHERUB series, but that doesn’t stop me from looking forward to the newest release in the series. Set in World War II, Henderson’s Boys tells the story of CHERUB’s roots and the organisations’ first recruits.

The Prisoner is the fifth out of seven instalments in the series and continues Henderson’s Boys assignment of interrupting the Nazi regime. I’m looking forward to seeing how much the characters have evolved in the large portions of time that interlude each story.

So far, I’ve really enjoyed the Henderson’s Boys series, and this one promises to be just as action packed. With this and the new CHERUB books, Robert Muchamore keeps providing. Are you looking forward to The Prisoner?

Crossed – Ally Condie

Matched by Ally Condie, the first book in the Matched trilogy was a great start to the series with an open ending and bags of potential to make Crossed brilliant. Condie has a way with words and although Matched was fantastic, I’m hoping Crossed will have more action and answers.

Cassia and Ky’s romance promises to be even more exciting in this sequel with so many obstacles and enemies in their way; with a little luck we may see their characters develop a little more too. What can I say? Matched was pretty good, but I’m anticipating some improvements here.

There have been mixed reviews of the first books, but I really enjoyed Matched, and I might bring up my review of it this side of Christmas. Are you coveting Crossed?

Well, that concludes another week’s Wish List post; I hope you like the books I chose and I look forward to any comments I receive; they are always welcome. As a side note, I’d just like to thank the people who have viewed my blog in this first week, and especially those of you who followed it too. I cannot thank you enough. For this week, happy reading!
