On My Wishlist is a great event that was created by Book Chick City. It is now hosted by Sarah over at Workaday Reads!
It's where you list all of the books that you desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming. I thought that this was a fantabulous idea so I thought I would join in!

So this week I decided to change things up with OMW- instead of being wishful for a book I am wishful for a movie, specifically, "Vampire Academy". Did you see yesterdays announcement that WE HAVE OUR ROSE, LISSA, AND DIMITRI? While I do not know of these actors I personally love them for their looks (oh, and that Danila will have a REAL accent).
We have Zoey Deutch as Rose Hathaway, Lucy Fry as Lissa and Danila Kozlovskiy as Dimitri Belikov.
You can find more information about the movie HERE.
