Don’t forget, participants will be entered in the drawing to win a fanged-abulous prize pack!

I was just over on Ella’s blog and look what I found!

The authors are working hard on polishing this up for us. I, for one, can’t wait!

Ella says she will keep us posted and give us some excerpts soon. Eternal Island is due to be released on October 31st. Appropriate, as she tells us there are vampires and witches making appearances.

I am starting a wish list for hard copy books. I want to share my wishes with you. This will also help me to control those impulse buys on Amazon, you know, the one-click grab- its.

For today I WISH for:

The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker

From Goodreads

Luminous, haunting, unforgettable. The Age of Miracles is a stunning fiction debut by a superb new writer, a story about coming of age during extraordinary times, about people going on with their lives in an era of profound uncertainty.

On a seemingly ordinary Saturday in a California suburb, 11-year-old Julia and her family awake to discover, along with the rest of the world, that the rotation of the earth has suddenly begun to slow. The days and nights grow longer and longer, gravity is affected, the environment is thrown in disarray. Yet as she struggles to navigate an ever-shifting landscape, Julia is also coping with the normal disasters of everyday life – the fissures in her parent’s marriage, the loss of old friends, the hopeful anguish of first love, the bizarre behavior of her grandfather who, convinced of a government conspiracy, spends his days obsessively cataloging his possessions. As Julia adjusts to the new normal, the slowing inexorably continues.

With spare, graceful prose and the emotional wisdom of a born storyteller, Karen Thompson Walker has created a singular narrator in Julia, a resilient and insightful young girl, and a moving portrait of a family life set against the backdrop of an utterly altered world.

I browsed around and looked at but DIDN’T READ the reviews for this book. I just wanted to see the star ratings. They were all over the place, which makes me want to read this even more.

I also noted the genre classifications were varied.  Everybody has a different one. Here are some of them:

Contemporary

Adult Fiction

YA

Dystopian

Sci-Fi

General Fiction

What is this book? It seems to defy classification and evoke different feelings with each reader. Definitely a must have. Can’t wait to read it and tell you what I think. It is now at the top of my Wish List on Amazon.
