Wednesday wants

Wednesday Wants!!!
This is for Dewey's Books Challenge. You can read the details here:
Last year, based on Dewey's book coveting posts, I started my own Wednesday Wants posts, picking up on books I had seen here and there, that I wanted to read.

I haven't done one for aaaaaaaaaages, but now seems like a good time.
It's Wednesday, for one thing.
So what books are close to my heart at the moment, if not to my fingertips?
Hmmmmmmm ….

Thanks to Carl at http://www.stainlesssteeldroppings.com/ and his Once Upon a Time challenge, I've been reading more fantasy lately, and wondering why I left so much of it behind me. Well, I sort of do (pale, mysoginistic and tired quest fantasies that became popular when I was a teen), but the genre has opened up so much, there truly is something for everyone.

My go-to for new stuff is still http://fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com/ and there are a couple of books on the front page that look fairly outstanding:

Worst Nightmares by Shane Briant: http://fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com/2009/05/worst-nightmares-by-shane-briant.html looks good, and spooky.

This looks good, too _ Stones Fall by Iain Pears http://fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com/2009/05/stones-fall-by-iain-pears-reviewed-by.html

AND! This is the one I'm most looking forward to getting my sticky fingers on:

BoneMan's Daughter by Ted Dekker:

http://www.amazon.com/BoneMans-Daughters-Ted-Dekker/dp/1599951959/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242216061&sr=8-1

I LOVED The Circle Trilogy, and House.

So, for 2009, my first Wednesday Wants.

Thanks Dewey :)
