Escape In A Book: Wednesday

This is my first On My Wishlist post, it is is a weekly meme hosted by Book Chick City, which will be posted every Wednesday. I'll be sharing two or three books from my wishlist each Wednesday. A little information about this meme:

It allows us to share the books we haven't bought yet but are waiting to be bought and devoured. If you are anything like me then your wishlist is getting longer by the day! If you would like to take part and have your own 'On My Wishlist' post then you can find more info here. (This post was inspired by the fab In My Mailbox by Kristi at The Story Siren).

Here are some of the books that can be found on my wishlist:

A Three Grows In Brooklyn by Betty Smith

Description from Goodreads:

The story of young, sensitive, and idealistic Francie Nolan and her bittersweet formative years in the slums of Williamsburg has enchanted and inspired millions of readers for more than sixty years. By turns overwhelming, sublime, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the daily experiences of the unforgettable Nolans are raw with honesty and tenderly threaded with family connectedness -- in a work of literary art that brilliantly captures a unique time and place as well as incredibly rich moments of universal experience.

Mating Rituals of the North American Wasp by Lauren Lipton
Originally published in: 2009
Number of pages(paperback): 368

Description from Goodreads:
After arguing with her live-in boyfriend about his inability to commit, Peggy Adams flies to a friend's bachelorette party in Las Vegas, and wakes up next to a man she can't remember. Hung-over and miserable, she sneaks out of the sleeping man's hotel room and returns home to New York, where her boyfriend apologizes for the fight and gives her a Tiffany box containing a pre-engagement ring. Not what she expected, but close enough! The next day she receives a phone call from the Las Vegas one-night stand, Luke, claiming she's already married to him¬-and he faxes her the license for proof! Both are ready for an annulment, until Peggy arrives in quaint New Nineveh, CT, where Luke cares for his Great Aunt, and the old woman makes Peggy an offer she can't refuse.

My Christmas favorite:

Obviously I cannot count.. I posted #4 yesterday(Jiminy Cricket) LOL. So here's favorite number # 3, Dean Martin - Let it snow.

I've been tagged by the wonderful Sassy Brit from Alternative-Reads.com in her What's on your desk Wednesday meme! I don't actually have a lot of things on my desk because I really don't have a desk right now(well I do but it is placed so that I almost bump my head in the sealing if I try to sit down there, feels like it anyway LOL). We are redecorating in our basement so hopefully we'll make a small office there when we're finished with that. Meanwhile I just use the kitchentable, that is when we don't eat there, as a desk. Here's what's on my desk(I know the picture is of a losy quality but the cellphone was all I had ATM):

I don't have a lot of stuff there really, or maybe that's because when the picture was taken I've just tidyed the table before dinner ;) The books on the picture is The Woman in the cage(NO. title Kvinnen i buret - reading it for a blog tour) by the Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen, Moon Called by Patricia Briggs and Knife by R.J. Anderson.

I've also been so lucky that I've received this great award from Sassy Brit @ Alternative-Reads.com Thank you so much! :
