Waiting On Wednesday

Today's WOW are our picks for this month's Book Of The Months.

Our Spotlight Book of The Month:

By Sarah Rees Brennan
Published by Simon and Schuster
To Be Released on June 14th, 2011

The Goblin Market has always been the centre of Sin's world. She's a dancer and a performer, secure in her place. But now the Market is at war with the magicians, and Sin's place is in danger. Keeping secrets from the market she loves, struggling with a friend who has become a rival, Sin is thrown together with the Ryves brothers, Nick and Alan - whom she's always despised. But Alan has been marked by a magician, to be tortured as the magician pleases, and as Sin watches Alan struggle to protect the demon brother he loves, she begins to see both brothers in a new light. But how far will brother go to save brother - and what will it cost them all?

With the cliff hanger ending in The Demon's Covenant, I can only imagine what will happen next. I'm a little sad this series is ending, but I'm looking forward to jumping back into this world with Nick and Alan.

Our Debut Book Of The Month:

By Myra McEntire
Published by Egmont USA
To Be Released on June 14th, 2011


One hour to rewrite the past . . .

For seventeen-year-old Emerson Cole, life is about seeing what isn’t there: swooning Southern Belles; soldiers long forgotten; a haunting jazz trio that vanishes in an instant. Plagued by phantoms since her parents’ death, she just wants the apparitions to stop so she can be normal. She’s tried everything, but the visions keep coming back.

So when her well-meaning brother brings in a consultant from a secretive organization called the Hourglass, Emerson’s willing to try one last cure. But meeting Michael Weaver may not only change her future, it may change her past.

Who is this dark, mysterious, sympathetic guy, barely older than Emerson herself, who seems to believe every crazy word she says? Why does an electric charge seem to run through the room whenever he’s around? And why is he so insistent that he needs her help to prevent a death that never should have happened?


Full of atmosphere, mystery, and romance, Hourglass merges the very best of the paranormal and science-fiction genres in a seductive, remarkable young adult debut.


This is already one of my favorite debut releases this year! Myra has created a refreshing, unique YA story and I'm really looking forward to reading the next book in the series.You can join our BOTM discussions here.
