Books I Desperately Want

So summer has set in. The air is hot and sticky and in the midwest, walking outside feels like walking into a tea kettle - warm and somewhat nasty. I love sleeping in and all, but enough is enough. I keep finding myself eying the sky outside (because I am so not going out in this nastiness) and asking the sun to shine a little less brightly.

It doesn't ever end well. The sun gets angry and calls me spoiled. I tell it that nobody likes it and this is why I would rather be up in the wee hours of the morning than at noon. And then I realize I'm arguing with a flaming ball of gas and contemplate perhaps sleeping in those wee hours instead of blogging.

-eyes clock- Eh. 

There's something very dangerous about these wee hours. For instance, when a random number starts texting you, you go and lock your windows and door and pull the blood hound into your room just in case it ends up being Creepy Stalker Person. And then there's the internet. As summer swells around me and I decide I'm not going to be a healthy teenager who spends her time outside, I am on the internet more. The dangerous, dark internet -- dangerous and dark because of one website.

Amazon.com.

Because of this website, I'm now desperately in love with several books. And I want them. Badly. Now. A lot.

For instance, have you seen Richelle Mead's latest cover? Oh my god, it is beautiful. Her last book had me in panic attacks because of the cliff hanger, and the cover to the next is giving me complex's before the dang thing is even out.

And I want this one. I loved the first. I love the author. And I love, love, love, love this cover. From the font to the butterflies to the girl's eyes, it's just perfect. 

OH. And this? DUDE. Did you know that Rick Riordan, AKA One Of The Best Authors Ever, is putting out another book? And did you know that it's set in Camp Half Blood? Because I didn't know that, and now I'm ready to go and find my freaking time machine so I can read it. 

Then there's this one. I've been eying it for a long time because of Maggie Stiefvater and Tessa Gratton. It looks SO cool. And I actually have an author interview lined up. I literally shrieked when she said yes. 

And this one. Because the author is amazing and wonderful and because Rick Riordan (see his description above) blurbed it and because I keep reading all these great reviews.

That's not all I want, but those are the hits. This dark dangerous website should get in trouble for getting a girl all excited.

And now, since blogger has eaten this post TWICE and I've rewritten it TWICE (it was better the first time) I am sufficiently tired.

-eyes Amazon- -eyes clock- -wonders how pleasant to be around I'm gonna be tomorrow morning-

Yeah. If I want my parents and sister to still love me, I better get some sleep. I tend to be rather . . . what's the word they used? Oh yeah -- evil . .  . when I don't sleep.

More later.
