My Wishlist Wednesday book is:
Unthinkable by Nancy Werlin
(to be released September 2013)
From Goodreads:
Fenella was the first Scarborough girl to be cursed, hundreds of years ago, and she has been trapped in the faerie realm ever since, forced to watch generations of daughters try to break this same faerie curse that has enslaved them all. [SNIP! A bit of the synopsis has been deleted to spare y’all from spoilers related to the previous book!]
In her desperation, Fenella makes a deal with the faerie queen: If she can accomplish three acts of destruction, she will be free, at last, to die. What she doesn’t realize is that these acts must be aimed at her own family and if she fails, the consequences will be dire, for all of the Scarborough girls.
How can she possibly choose to hurt her own cherished family not to mention the new man whom she’s surprised to find herself falling in love with? But if she doesn’t go through with the tasks, how will she manage to save her dear ones?
Why do I want to read this?
BECAUSE IT’S THE SEQUEL TO IMPOSSIBLE!
Okay, I’ll calm down now. I loved Impossible. The story of the Scarborough curse is haunting and beautiful, and I loved how the author constructed the story using the old Scarborough Fair song — but altered to fit the faerie-curse storyline. I am so excited that the author has written a follow-up novel, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Meanwhile, between now and September, check out Impossible — and I also highly recommend Nancy Werlin’s more recent faerie-world book, Extraordinary.
Quick note to Wishlist Wednesday bloggers: Come on back to Bookshelf Fantasies for Flashback Friday! Join me in celebrating the older gems hidden away on our bookshelves. See the introductory post for more details, and come back this Friday to add your flashback favorites!

Sounds like an interesting book. Haven’t heard for the series before.
Hope you get it soon!

I was so excited to find out that there will be another novel set in this world! Thanks for stopping by.
I have had Impossible sitting on my shelf unread for years! I think I need to actually read it finally after seeing how much you love it!
Hope you get hold of this sequel soon.
Oh, yes, read Impossible! Let me know what you think!
I never heard of this series but it sounds intriguing. I had to look up the Scarborough song to find out what it was about and it piqued my interest even more. I’ll be looking for Impossible now. Thanks for sharing and I hope you get to read it soon.
My WW can be found on Le Chat de Bibliothèque.
It’s an old folk song originally, but I think most people know it from Simon & Garfunkle’s version. It’s changed a bit to fit the story in the book, and it just works so well! Thanks for stopping by!
I love the looks of the cover, not a big faery reader myself but hope you get your hands on a copy soon so you can continue your love for this series.
I didn’t even know there was a sequel. I’ve been wanting to check out Impossible for the longest! Thanks for stopping by My WW!

I haven’t read Impossible, will definitely have to check that one out. Love this cover though, very pretty. 🙂
My WoW Pick!
I haven’t read this book or the one before it. But it sounds REALLY good. 🙂
Also, I think I really like Flashback Friday! I was going to do something similar called Throwback Thursdays, but yours sounds better. 🙂
Hi Anahera! Thanks for the follow! I’d love to have you join in for Flashback Friday. 🙂
I love fantasies! Anything that isn’t vampires, werewolves, demons, or witches sounds worth checking out. 🙂
The first book was so good! Some faerie stories just don’t work for me, but Impossible was terrific.
