Two books on my wishlist this week : Perception, sequel to Clarity (which I really enjoyed), and Crewel, which has an interesting premise and will be out in October.
Perception by Kim Harrington
On Goodreads :
When you can see things others can’t, what do you do when someone’s watching you?
Everybody knows about Clarity “Clare” Fern. She’s the psychic girl in school, the one who can place her hands on something and see hidden visions from the past.
Only Clare would rather not be a celebrity. She prefers hanging back, observing. Her gift is not a game to her.
But then someone starts playing with her head . . . and heart. Messages and gifts from a secret admirer crop up everywhere Clare turns. Could they be from Gabriel, the gorgeous boy who gets Clare’s pulse racing? Or from Justin, Clare’s hopeful ex-boyfriend who’d do anything to win her back?
One thing is certain. Clare needs to solve this mystery, and soon. Because the messages are becoming sinister, and a girl in town has suddenly disappeared.

Crewel by Gennifer Albin
On Goodreads :
Incapable. Awkward. Artless.
That’s what the other girls whisper behind her back. But sixteen year-old Adelice Lewys has a secret: she wants to fail. Gifted with the ability to weave time with matter, she’s exactly what the Guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen as a Spinster is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, eternal beauty, and being something other than a secretary. It also means the power to embroider the very fabric of life. But if controlling what people eat, where they live and how many children they have is the price of having it all, Adelice isn’t interested.
Not that her feelings matter, because she slipped and wove a moment at testing, and they’re coming for her—tonight.
Now she has one hour to eat her mom’s overcooked pot roast. One hour to listen to her sister’s academy gossip and laugh at her Dad’s stupid jokes. One hour to pretend everything’s okay. And one hour to escape. Because once you become a Spinster, there’s no turning back.
What is at the top of your wishlist right now?
I love these covers! Perception sounds really interesting. I’m trying to forget about my wishlist so that I don’t buy anything else! 😉
They both have gorgeous covers! I hope you get them soon.
Crewel is new to me. Very cool.
I absolutely love the covers of these. I will have to add them to my wishlist too 🙂 Here is my link: http://reviewsbymolly.com/on-my-wish-list-3-31-2012/
I read Clarity last year and really want to get round to Perception too. How gorgeous is the cover for Crewel!?! Definitely off to investigate that one. It sounds really different too.
