Note: On My Wishlist is a fun weekly event hosted by Book Chick City
and runs every Saturday. It's where I list all the books I desperately
want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or
forthcoming. It's also an event that you can join in with too - Mr Linky
is always at the ready for you to link your own 'On My Wishlist' post.

I saw this book on Eli from Eli to the nth 's blog and she said such great things about it I just had to put it on my wishlist!
Thanks for reading and have a great day!

I am not a big fan of short stories as I tend to get distracted, but I do love a good geek book.
ReplyDeleteI only ever short stories every so often, but this does sound intriguing.

Just the cover of this book has me chuckling - never heard of it before, looks good!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great anthology. I feel like it's one that not only I would enjoy, but also my roommates. I've added it to my TBR list!
ReplyDeleteFeel free to check out what's on my wishlist this week.
Geektastic sounds great! I hadn't heard of it before so thanks for sharing ;)
ReplyDeleteI read Geektastic earlier this year. I hope you like it. I've added a Diana Wynne Jones book to my wishlist this week. Come see what it is.
