Waiting on Wednesday


Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine. It is to spotlight books that are soon to be released that we wished would be released sooner. Here are our picks.

Kristen's Pick:
Title: Faerie Winter
Author: Janni Lee Simner
Expected Publication: April 5, 2011
Description: Fans of dark fantasy and dystopian adventure discovered Janni Lee Simner's first novel, Bones of Faerie, to be an exciting twist on a favorite theme. Now fans of Holly Black, Melissa Marr, and Cassandra Clare can return to Janni's unique vision of a magic-infused postapocalyptic world where war between Faerie and humanity has left both realms devastated. The war has been over for 40 years, and finally Liza's town is accepting children born with fairy talents. Then a nearby town is destroyed, and Liza discovers that the war might not be over after all. It seems some faeries survived and have crossed over into the human world to continue the fight. And the most powerful and merciless of them all—the Queen herself—may be among them. . . .



April Nichole's Pick:
Title:
Mermaid: A Twist on a Classic Tale
Author: Carolyn Turgeon
Expected Publication: March 3, 2011
Description: The story of two very different women, one mortal, one mermaid, and the clash between worlds best kept apart... It is a cold day at the end of the world when a young woman, a princess in hiding, looks out across a Northern sea and sees something she could not have seen. It looks...it can't be. It looks like a mermaid's tail. And, as she looks more closely, she sees that the mermaid is dragging a drowning sailor in her arms. Because, only hours before, another princess, the daughter of the sea queen, has decided to risk everything and take a look at the world above the sea: the world of mortals. And there she finds a storm, a shipwreck, a sailor, and sets in train events which will change both women's worlds forever.

  2. You know I had Bones of Faerie on my TBR and then took it off after hearing mixed reviews but I might put it back on, it still sounds interesting.

    Mermaid is definitely on my TBR ^_^ Can't wait to read it!.

  4. Ah ha! I knew that cover reminded me of another book....love when they match them in a series. Easier to make the connection. AS for the cover of book 2 (the mermaid one), it looks magical and "real" all at once. *thumbs up* Great WoW picks..thanks for sharing!
