Waiting on Wednesday

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It lets us all gush about what soon-to-be released books we are jumping-up-and-down excited for.

Angel Kiss
by Laura Jane Cassidy

releasing May 5th, 2011 from Puffin Books

description:
Jacki King is fifteen and adjusting to her new life in a small village. She's missing Dublin but she's making new friends: artistic Colin, feisty Emily - and Nick, gorgeous yet unavailable. But no sooner is Jacki settled than the torturous headaches and nightmares begin - followed by strange visions, voices and signs...Jacki refuses to believe that something paranormal is happening. But then she discovers the unsolved murder that occurred in the village years before ...

My thoughts:
A story set in Ireland, paranormal wierdness going on, and a "gorgeous yet unavailable" guy with an Irish accent. YEAH, this book has my attention . ;P And that cover..so cool, like someone's trying to taking a picture but a ghost walks in front of the camera. Not sure if this is going to be released in the US---anyone know? May have to head to BookDepository to snag a copy of this one. Oh, but I will!

  7. Becky, thank you SO much for picking Angel Kiss as your WOW! Seeing this has made my day. (I noticed you'd started following my blog so clicked on yours to check it out, and was totally surprised to see my book's cover!) I don't have a U.S. publisher yet, but fingers crossed! It's listed on Amazon.com though, so should be available from there next year :) Hope you like it!

  12. The Storm Before Atlanta
    By Karen Schwabach
    Publication date: December 28, 2010

    At a time when most people have grown weary of the war between the states, two young children are desperate to find their way to the battlefields. Jeremy DeGroot wants nothing more than to join a troop as a drummer boy. For Dulcie, a runaway slave, freedom means she must head directly toward the fighting in the hopes that she'll become "contraband," that is, property of the Union troops. Both Jeremy and Dulcie find a place with the 107th New York Volunteer Regiment and even start to forge a friendship. But all that is threatened when they keep crossing paths with the mysterious Charlie, a young Confederate soldier, who may look like the enemy but feels more like a friend.
