Waiting on Wednesday!

What am I waiting on this Wednesday?  Well, I would love to be waiting for more time to arrive, but as that can't possibly happen and as I have so many books 'waiting' to be read this Wednesday I am actually waiting on a book signing.  Richelle Mead will be in Minneapolis, MN next weekend (5/22/11)!

Over the winter, she had planned a stop here, but we got a blizzard - shocking! In Minnesota? Say it isn't so.

The previously planned signing was to take place the same weekend that the Metrodome collapsed from the weight of the snow on the dome.   Flights were cancelled and Richelle got stranded - not in MN - so....

Now she's coming back and I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!

My friend Kathy (Inside of a Dog) and I will be attending this long awaited book signing.  It should be fun.

Anyone who lives here in MN and plans to attend - please comment, we can chat in the signing line!

W...W...W... Wednesday!

A defenseless child is adrift in an unfamiliar world, pursued by the minions of a false king whose brutality knows no bounds. But Anghara has a great destiny that reaches beyond the borders of the troubled realm she must one day rule -- and a miraculous gift to be awakened in secret and fortified in a distant desert land at once beautiful, mysterious, and perilous: an awesome and frightening power called Sight.

 and

What did I finish reading lately? I have finished a few books lately, the last two are:

Pleasure Unbound: A Demonica Novel by Larissa Ione

Amazon Product Description:

In a place where ecstasy can cost you your life . . .

She's a demon-slayer who hungers for sensual pleasure-but fears it will always be denied her. Until Tayla Mancuso lands in a hospital run by demons in disguise, and the head doctor, Eidolon, makes her body burn with unslakable desire. But to prove her ultimate loyalty to her peers, she must betray the surgeon who saved her life.

Two lovers will dare to risk all.

Eidolon cannot resist this fiery, dangerous woman who fills him with both rage and passion. Not only is she his avowed enemy, but she could very well be the hunter who has been preying upon his people. Torn between his need for the truth and his quest to find his perfect mate before a horrific transformation claims him forever, Eidolon will dare the unthinkable-and let Tayla possess him, body and soul...

and 

Leader of the Pack: Tales of an Urban Werewolf by Karen MacInerney

Amazon Product Description:

WILDLY INDEPENDENT, SHE’S NOT ONE FOR PACK MENTALITY.

On the outside, Sophie Garou is living every woman’s dream: she has beauty, brains, and a big-time position in Austin’s most respected accounting firm (not to mention a very sexy, very successful new boyfriend). But there’s one Sophie would rather keep under wraps: she is a werewolf.

Sophie’s life gets a little more hairy when her long-estranged father, Luc, arrives in the Live Music Capital to attend the werewolves’ annual Howl and reconnect with his daughter. But Luc’s plans fall apart after he’s accused of murder and arrested by his archrival, Wolfgang, leader of the Houston pack (and one notoriously dirty dog). Wolfgang drools at the thought of Luc’s impending execution, but Sophie won’t let her father die without a fight. Determined to prove his innocence, she and her friends set out to find the real killer. Along the way, Sophie must deal with taboo attractions, Machiavellian intrigues, sinister agendas, and hair-raising betrayals.

What do I plan to read next? I have a TBR stack that rivals Mount Baker, but I am hoping to finish all of the books I am currently reading and then read the rest of the books in both of the series I just started.  The Tales of an Urban Werewolf series, as I started mistakenly with book 3 and the remaining books in the Demonica series as well.
