On My Wishlist: June 17th

On My Wishlist is a weekly feature ran by the great book blog Book Chick City. To learn more about this meme, get the details here.
This week's On My Wishlist is focusing on some books I've discovered as I'm doing research on the publishers who will be in attendance at ALA.

 Indigo Blues-Danielle Joseph
Publisher: Flux
Publication Date: 7/1/10

Even though you tossed me away, I'm here to stay.
Oh, Indigo, how could you let me go . . -from "Indigo Blues" written    by Adam Spade, performed by Blank Stare

Indigo:
I never asked to be famous—or infamous. Such is my fate for briefly dating (and dumping) Adam Spade. Yes, the Adam from the indie rock band who wrote "Indigo Blues"—the song that gave the band overnight success, propelled them to New York City, and stole my precious anonymity. Now I'm pawed by fans, stalked by reporters, and pegged as a vicious heartbreaker. And Adam is still calling me. Doesn't he have better things to do?
Adam:
With a hit single and a promising career, I should be on top of the world. People on the street are beginning to recognize me, which is cool. And scary. The band is counting on me to write another hit, but I can't stop thinking about Indigo. Why won't she answer the phone?

Perhaps it's because I'm a former music nerd, but I love novels about bands, and especially novels about bands that feature a love story. Can't wait to check this out out. The author will be signing at ALA too!

Nightshade-Andrea Cremer
Publisher: Philomel
Publication Date: 10/19/10


Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she violates her masters laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?

I have to admit that werewolves are not usually my thing, but this book sounds intriguing, and I love the name of the main character-Calla. I used that name for one of my main characters once. Andrea will be signing at ALA also, so I'm hoping I can snag a signed copy of this one as well!

Bright Young Things-Anna Godbersen
Publisher: HarperCollins
Publication Date: 10/12/10

The author of The Luxe takes on the 1920's. Seriously-no description needed here! I haven't even read The Luxe series yet, but I know that when I do, I will gobble it up. At BEA, they were handing out samplers of this book, should I dare to hope that at ALA they'll have galleys? Here's to hoping!
