"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

What I'm waiting for



Ten Miles Past Normal ~ Frances O'roark Dowell
22/05/2012 ~ Antheneum Books


Hippie parents, music and a smart country girl trying to be normal.

Why am I waiting on this?
This book released last year, but the paperback release is finally here! I like both covers, but this one has a softer look and is, I suppose, prettier. I just . . . that synopsis. I want!






Shadow and Bone ~ Leigh Bardugo
05/06/2012 ~ Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)


A high fantasy of a war-torn world and a heroine whose mysterious powers are the key to salvation.


Why am I waiting on this?

I'm a bit unsure about this one. There has been a lot of positive feedback so far, so maybe my apprehension is for nothing in this case. I just want to read this so I can see what all the hubba is about.

SHADOW AND BONE. WANT WANT WANT. Okay, the hype has affected me. I've been seeing so many amaazing reviews and it's forcing my expectations to go up. Which will be a bad thing if I don't like it.... haha. But it does sound amazing.

Thanks for sharing these great titles. I would love to check out Ten Miles Past Normal - what a unique story! My new find is a clever book written by Neil Shulman and Susan Wrathall entitled, The Corporate Kid, which is a rags to riches story. It has a great message about corporate responsibility in an era of corporate irresponsibility written in both a humorous and dramatic way. Here is the authors' website: http://www.thecorporatekid.com

I haven't heard of Ten Miles Past Normal but it looks so cute! I'm glad it's already out so there's no waiting involved. I really want to read Shadow and Bone too! I'm a bit wary of the hype so I can't wait to see what I think about this. Fantastic picks!

I'm not big on contemporary so the first one I haven't heard of, but Shadow and Bone is definitely on my wishlist! It sounds awesome. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Nice pick! :)
