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.
This week I have a mixed bag of things I am wishing for: I have been wanting to read Retells for awhile so I picked two books by the same author whom is doing a retell of two of my favorite Fairy Tales, Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. My third choice is an anthology and main reason I want this book it has Gena Showalter in it- I have heard the other authors are good so I figured why not give it a try.

Goodreads Summary:
Miss Kate Daltry doesn't believe in fairy tales . . . or happily ever after.
Forced by her stepmother to attend a ball, Kate meets a prince . . . and decides he's anything but charming. A clash of wits and wills ensues, but they both know their irresistible attraction will lead nowhere. For Gabriel is promised to another woman—a princess whose hand in marriage will fulfill his ruthless ambitions.
Gabriel likes his fiancÉe, which is a welcome turn of events, but he doesn't love her. Obviously, he should be wooing his bride-to-be, not the witty, impoverished beauty who refuses to fawn over him.
Godmothers and glass slippers notwithstanding, this is one fairy tale in which destiny conspires to destroy any chance that Kate and Gabriel might have a happily ever after.
Unless a prince throws away everything that makes him noble . . .
Unless a dowry of an unruly heart trumps a fortune . . .
Unless one kiss at the stroke of midnight changes everything.

I love retells of fairy tales so you just gave me 2 new books I am now wishing for as well Donna, maybe if lucky can get them from PBS used some time... The Anthology went on my wish list as soon as I found it a few weeks back, happy reading on all the books when you get them!
I saw these on Lori's site and I couldn't resist I hadn't known retells existed til I started blogging and now they have peeked my interest I can't wait for these because they are historical as well.
OH anything with Gena I have to get though I haven't read her YA or Alien Huntress series yet.
I can't wait till I read all these. I hope that you get the books you have listed on your wishlist and that they are everything you hope them to be. Check out what is On My Wishlist.

Gena is another author thats in my must buy always list. I have read 2 of her series- LORD's and Atlantis series both are incredible.
