So here is my book for this weeks Wishlist Wednesday:

 Velvet by Mary Hooper


Goodreads Synopsis:

Rose is a laundress in a Victorian steam laundry. With both her mother and father dead, she is an orphan and has to rely upon her own wits to make a living. The laundry is scalding, back-breaking work and Rose is desperate to create a better life for herself. Then Rose is noticed by Madame X, a famed medium, who asks Rose to come to work for her. Rose is dazzled at first by the young yet beautifully dressed and bejewelled Madame. But soon Rose realises that Madame X is not all that she says she is, and Rose's very life is in danger . . .

A romantic and thrillingly exciting new novel from an acclaimed and much-loved historical writer for teens.

I really like the sound of this one, it's a little bit different to what I have been reading recently.  It was a recommendation from Goodreads.  I think the cover first drew me to this book - I think it's lovely, and the red gothic writing looks good.  I haven't read a book yet by Mary Hooper but I have seen some good reviews.
