On My Wishlist is a fun weekly event hosted by Book Chick City and runs every Saturday. It's where you can list all the books you desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming.
My two choices for this week come from random searchings of the interwebs, and had previously missed my radar...but I'm very glad I found them :)

Your future is not your own...
"We wanted to know what makes a good kid good and a bad kid bad. Can you blame us for that? We found an astoundingly, marvelously simple answer: The brain isn't so much a complicated machine as it is a crystal ball. If you look into it, you will see everything you want to know."
-Dr. Mark Miliken, senior researcher at Utopia Laboratories
Who will it be? Will the head cheerleader get pregnant? Is the student council president a secret drug addict?
The whole school is freaking out about PROFILE, an experimental program that can predict students' future behaviour.
The only question Daphne wants answered is whether Jesse will ask her out...but he's a Predicted, and there's something about his future he's not telling her.

God Save the Queen by Kate Locke
To be published July 2012 by Orbit (cover not yet final)
Queen Victoria rules with an immortal fist.The undead matriarch of a Britain where the Aristocracy is made up of werewolves and vampires, where goblins live underground and mothers know better than to let their children out after dark. A world where being nobility means being infected with the Plague (side-effects include undeath), Hysteria is the popular affliction of the day, and leeches are considered a delicacy. And a world where technology lives side by side with magic. The year is 2012 and Pax Britannia still reigns.
Xandra Vardan is a member of the elite Royal Guard, and it is her duty to protect the Aristocracy. But when her sister goes missing, Xandra will set out on a path that undermines everything she believed in and uncover a conspiracy that threatens to topple the empire. And she is the key-the prize in a very dangerous struggle.

The Predicteds is on my wishlist too! Looks so good and has a great cover. Haven't heard of God Save the Queen before but it sounds awesome! A really interesting concept - I'll definitely look out for it! :)
Oh I haven't heard of God Save the Queen. Sounds interesting! I must check it out!
I haven't heard of either of these, but they both sound great!

Wow, the Predicteds sounds very intriguing. Hope you get it soon. Have a good weekend and happy reading :)
I have the Predicteds on my list. It was a good week for finishing wishlist books. But playing with the new recommendation feature on GoodReads has added even more books to the list! Please come see what I'm wishing for this week.
