Monstrous Beauty
by Elizabeth Fama

Expected publication: September 4th 2012 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)

Fierce, seductive mermaid Syrenka falls in love with Ezra, a young naturalist. When she abandons her life underwater for a chance at happiness on land, she is unaware that this decision comes with horrific and deadly consequences. Almost one hundred forty years later, seventeen-year-old Hester meets a mysterious stranger named Ezra and feels overwhelmingly, inexplicably drawn to him. For generations, love has resulted in death for the women in her family. Is it an undiagnosed genetic defect . . . or a curse? With Ezra’s help, Hester investigates her family’s strange, sad history. The answers she seeks are waiting in the graveyard, the crypt, and at the bottom of the ocean—but powerful forces will do anything to keep her from uncovering her connection to Syrenka and to the tragedy of so long ago.

I already read, loved it and reviewed, but it was just so great I need a copy for myself. It's officially on my TBB (to be bought) list. ;)  I'll have the review up in August here, so you can check it out later.

This manga has been on my Wishlist for a while now. It's out of print, which is very frustrating. I have yet to find a  good used copy (that's not too expensive). :(

The Raft by S.A. Bodeen

Expected publication: August 21st 2012 by Feiwel & Friends

On her flight back to Midway the cargo plane hits nasty weather, and goes down. It’s just Robie, the pilot, and Max, a co-pilot she’s never met till this flight, on board. Robie is pulled aboard a raft by Max, who is injured and slipping in and out of consciousness. They have a bag of candy and very little water between them. When they finally reach an island that seems abandoned, Robie hopes they’ll be found quickly. But she’s not sure she was even on the flight manifest. Her parents must be looking for her…aren’t they?

From my wishlist this week I chose a couple of oldies that are now out of print. I haven't read them, but I want to. :) 

I'm hoping they'll soon be available on Better World Books.
