(Maybe I’ll start a trend here, call it a meme if you will.)

Since nobody I know is insanely rich, I’m sure everyone here has a few books they’re aching to buy… but are suffering from a cash shortage. Post a list of your five most-wanted books (I’m doing fiction, feel free to list non-fiction if you wish) and why you’re so eager to read them!

1. The Ruby Key by Holly Lisle — I’ve been following this for months now at Holly’s blog. Really dying to get my hands on it, will be released soon!
2. The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner — This whole series has me highly intrigued.
3. The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein — I’ve never read this classic, classic sci-fi work. Got my nose stuck in it recently and was loving the broken English.
4. Alphabet of Thorn by Patricia A. McKillip — I’m eager to read pretty much everything McKillip has ever written, I admit. The story of this one is particularly fascinating, dealing with languages and magic.
5. The Serpent and the Rose by Kathleen Bryan — Magic is worked through jeweled glass. Enough said? I think so.

If anyone else does this, please post a link in the comments so I can read your list! :)
