Waiting on Wednesday


Waiting on Wednesday. A meme that showcases books we can't wait to read. This week on my list is...

Discord's AppleDiscord's Apple by Carrie Vaughn (July, 6 2010)

From Goodreads: When Evie Walker goes home to spend time with her dying father, she discovers that his creaky old house in Hope’s Fort, Colorado is not the only legacy she stands to inherit. Hidden behind the old basement door is a secret and magical storeroom where wondrous treasures from myth and legend are kept safe unit they are needed again. The magic of the storeroom prevents access to any who are not intended to use the items. 

Evie must guard the storeroom against ancient and malicious forces, protecting the past and the future even as the present unravels around them. Old heroes and notorious villains alike will rise to fight on her side or to undermine her most desperate gambits. At stake is the fate of the world, and the prevention of nothing less than the apocalypse.


LingerLinger by Maggie Stiefvater (July, 20, 2010)
(okay, I've been wanting this for a bit, but the recent release of her trailer really makes me want it more)

From Goodreads: In Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, inLinger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past...and figuring out a way to survive into the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabel, who already lost her brother to the wolves...and is nonetheless drawn to Cole. At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love--the light and the dark, the warm and the cold--in a way you will never forget.


So, what are you waiting for this week?

  3. Well, I haven't even been able to get to Shiver yet. :) I have to get to that one before Linger. They both sound amazing.

    I have not heard of Discord's Apple until now. I am really curious about it now. I hope you get it and let me know how it is. :)
