"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.
So I've decided from now on to add a little fun step to my Waiting on Wednesday posts. I'll be choosing two books. I'll have a "Sooner" and a "Later" pick, one that is coming up in the next month or so and one that is way down the line. Sound good? ;)
Sooner:
Eternal Starling
by Angela Corbett
hitting shelves December 6, 2011 from Pendrell Publishing
description:
A love so strong, even eternity can’t separate them.
Evie Starling has lived a relatively uneventful life hanging out with friends, gossiping about boys, and driving her 1966 Mustang. All of that changes when she moves to Gunnison, Colorado, to start college and meets two mysterious men.
For centuries, Alex Night and Emil Stone have yearned for Evie—but they each have their own reasons for wanting to be with her. When both men claim to be her soul mate and tell her about an unbelievable past, Evie learns that she’s not the person she thought she was. Soon, Evie finds herself in the middle of an age-old battle between the Amaranthine Society—the soul protectors, and the Daevos Resistance—the soul destroyers. With a past she doesn’t understand, and a future rife with danger, Evie has to decide who she can trust. But Alex and Emil aren’t the only ones who want Evie, and her soul is about to become the rope in an eternal tug-of-war.
My Thoughts: I love this cover, the fact that the MC drives a 66 mustang, and the fact that I haven't seen anything but rave reviews for this book! I can't wait!

Goddess, Interrupted
by Aimee Carter
hitting shelves March 27th, 2012 by Harlequin Teen
description:
Kate Winters has won immortality.
But if she wants a life in the Underworld with Henry, she’ll have to fight for it.
Becoming immortal wasn’t supposed to be the easy part. Though Kate is about to be crowned Queen of the Underworld, she’s as isolated as ever. And despite her growing love for Henry, ruler of the Underworld, he’s becoming ever more distant and secretive. Then, in the midst of Kate’s coronation, Henry is abducted by the only being powerful enough to kill him: the King of the Titans.
As the other gods prepare for a war that could end them all, it is up to Kate to save Henry from the depths of Tartarus. But in order to navigate the endless caverns of the Underworld, Kate must enlist the help of the one person who is the greatest threat to her future.
Henry’s first wife, Persephone.
My Thoughts: LOVED The Goddess Test. Can't wait for more. :)

O the first sounds super cool. I love old cars :)
ReplyDeleteLove the new sooner/later format!
ReplyDeleteThe Goddess Test was a little disappointing for me, so I'm not sure if I'll be picking up this one. I've read a couple good reviews of Eternal Starling so might check that one out!
Okay both of these books look interesting. I havent read the goddess test yet but I am anxiously ready to. It's by my bed waiting for me to finish my current read. The other book looks good too. I think I may have to get that one as well. Check out mine here
ReplyDeleteWasn't a fan of The Goddess Test but Eternal Starling looks interesting - love the cover - although not sure about the whole two guys fighting over her story line :)

I have been meaning to read The Goddess Test; I love mythology, so I really should read it soon. Thanks for sharing Eternal Starling- I love the sound of that one and you are right--the cover is gorgeous! Great picks!
ReplyDeleteBoth have very great covers and I probably be getting the second one sooner than the first one. :) huh? I know.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!!!
ReplyDeleteI just read a review for Eternal Starling and read an excerpt so I'm actually excited for this. I didn't like The Goddess Test that much, but after seeing this cover I'm going to try again...
