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


This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

Goddess Interrupted (Goddess Test #2)

by Aimee Carter

Release Date:  March 27th 2012

Publisher: HarlequinTeen

From Goodreads;

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.

Comments;

The first book, Goddess Test, was a really interesting read. I remember reading it and thinking that I couldn't wait to read the sequel. And here it is! Sounds really good too. I'm not sure if I like the cover or not....the title font is super pretty, but something about the model and such doesn't work for me.

What do you think?

In My Mailbox (1)

 

In My Mailbox is an awesome meme hosted by Kristin at The Story Siren!

 Hey there! So, this is my first In My Mailbox! I originally was going to make it a vlog post, but my webcam is acting up. I recorded a whole post and when I went to play it back, it made everything jerky and whatnot. Not cool! So, instead, I'm posting pictures! Pictures are worth a thousand words, right? :D

Bought:

Arch Enemy by Frank Beddor (New, bought at Barnes & Noble)

This is the third and final book in The Looking Glass Wars series, and I am SO excited to read it. It sounds really interesting.

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (New, bought at Barnes & Noble)

I bought this because it was a summer assignment for a class of mine. I normally wouldn't buy this (and it's not YA). I've already finished this since I bought it, and it was really good. 

1001 Thing Every College Student Needs to Know by H. Harrisson Jr. (New, bought at Barnes & Noble)

A little cute book I bought just to have and read on the side. Perhaps I'll do a college book feature on here sometime. ;]

Arrived in the Mail:

Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce (Signed, won in Stuff Young People Read's giveaway)

I've wanted to read this for ages! I'm loving it so far. Expect a review of it soon.;D
