I've been excited for this one since I first heard about it. It sounds cute and it's got zombies!

The magical new novel from number one bestseller Cecelia Ahern. Tamara Goodwin has always got everything she's ever wanted.

I've heard very good things about this book. I like that the protagonist is a teenage girl, but yet this isn't young adult fiction. It sounds like a fascinating read, I hope it can live up to the synopsis!

An Object of Beauty: A Novel-Steve Martin
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
Publication Date: November, 2010 (2nd printing)

Lacey Yeager is young, captivating, and ambitious enough to take the NYC art world by storm. Groomed at Sotheby's and hungry to keep climbing the social and career ladders put before her, Lacey charms men and women, old and young, rich and even richer with her magnetic charisma and liveliness. Her ascension to the highest tiers of the city parallel the soaring heights - and, at times, the dark lows - of the art world and the country from the late 1990s through today.
 (Goodreads)

I first heard Steve Martin discuss this book on television a few months ago. The premise sounded really interesting to me. I've always been fascinated by the art world, and who doesn't love Steve Martin? 




That's it for my wish list this week, what's on yours?
