C'mon. Let's all be honest. Along with wanting an awesome plot and character development, most of us want a little steam as well. Each and every Saturday, I will admit this too by posting a "Witch-Kissed Wish-List" that will include the following:
- Five YA Fiction Books from any genre.
- Can be books that have already or have not come out yet, just as long as they are on my to-be-read pile.
- Will be five books that 'lure' me in with a promise of plot, character development, and of course... STEAM.
This Weeks List!
Title: Waterfall (River of Time #1)Author: Lisa T. BergrenGenre: YA Historical Time-Travel RomanceRelease Date: February 1st 2011 by David C. CookNumber of Pages: 369I am on a total historical fiction kick, which is ironic because I used to hate it. This one? A girl goes back in time to a period of knights and kings. And finds her 'knight' in shining armor. Being from different time periods... Big problem. But reading a romance with a strong, duty-bound, gentlemen sounds oh so good.
Title: Saga (Volume 4)Author: Brian K. Vaughan, Illustrator - Fiona StaplesGenre: Science: Fiction Fantasy Romance Graphic NovelRelease Date: December 17th 2014 by Image ComicsNumber of Pages: 144I've read the first three out and have this forth volume sitting on my bookshelf. It's so hot it is burning a whole through the shelf. The first three were amazing - the best graphic novels I have ever read. The romance in it is sweet, passionate, silly at times... If you have never tried a graphic novel, this series is 5/5 stars.
Title: Of Monsters and Madness (Book #1)Author: Jessica VerdayGenre: YA Gothic Horror RomanceRelease Date: September 9th 2014 by EgmontUSANumber of Pages: 277"A romantic, historical retelling of classic Gothic horror featuring Edgar Allan Poe and his character Annabel Lee..." SOLD.
Title: Dearly, Departed (Gone with Respiration #1)Author: Lia HabelGenre: YA Dystopian Steampunk Romantic HorrorRelease Date: October 18th 2011 by Del ReyNumber of Pages: 370 Set in the future in "New Victoria", where f ashion and li festyle is such as a long time ago, plus zombies. Wow. Tell me that doesn't sound awesome. Like putting together weird ingredients and finding out its AWESOME.
Title: A Court of Thorns and Roses Author: Sarah J. Maas Genre: YA Fantasy Romance Release Date: May 5th 2015 by Bloomsbury Children's
Number of Pages: 416
The blurb sells this as a hate-passion romance, which I particularly l ove to read. Then the description has both "seductive" and "sexy" in its paragraphs. Yeah. I'm sure this is good. Have any of you read these? Let us know what you thought of them! -

JohnsonGenre: YA Fantasy Fairy-Tale RetellingRelease Date: October 6th, 2015 by Disney HyperionNumber of Pages: 336First of all, I swoon because of that cover. Second, I'm a complete sucker for fairy-tale retellings. And third, what a beautiful premise of a story-tellers forced marriage to a king that (hopefully) develops into a hate to love relationship. In this type of love story, the STEAM comes from the epic-ness.Title: Passenger
