WWW (33) and Waiting On Wednesday (July 11th, 2012): Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare

W. W. W. Wednesday is hosted by Should Be Reading a great blog that I subscribe to. Here's how it works... Each Wednesday I will answer the following questions:

What are you currently reading?

What did you recently finish reading?

What do you think you'll read next?


I've read some really great books lately, but I haven't been as quick as usual with my kids driving me nuts..

What are you currently reading?

Stupid Fast by Geoff Herbach~ This was Never Eighteen author, Megan Bostic's (see my interview HERE), favorite read of 2011, so I've been itching to read it.  It's from a male POV, so it gets bonus points there, plus it is just really well done.  Look for a review over the next week or so...
Quarantine: The Loners by Lex Thomas~ This book came out yesterday, and I'm a little behind on my reviews, but I'm so glad I didn't skip this one, because it's great.  It's another favorite author recommendation, this one by Kami Garcia (Beautiful Creatures, etc.)
Fablehaven by Brandon Mull~ This is a re-read.  I'm reading it to my son and loving it even more the second time around.  Brandon Mull is fabulous!




What did you recently finish reading?

Don't You Wish by Roxanne St. Claire~ This book REALLY took me by surprise!  I was expecting something along the lines of Gossip Girl- fun, shallow, entertaining- but it was SO, much more.  Such a smart read!  Check out my full review HERE.
Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake~  I adored the first book in this series, Anna Dressed In Blood (read my review HERE), and was so tickled to be given an opportunity to review the sequel.  It was fabulous!  Expect my review in the next week or so.
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi~ Finally!  This got put away on a bookshelf and forgotten, and when I rediscovered it, it was kind of like Christmas.  It is as good as YA gets, but most of you already know that...

A Midsummer's Nightmare by Kody Keplinger~ Loved it!  Kody really GETS the teenage mind (of course, that may have something to do with the fact that she's barely out of her teenage years), but she has the wisdom of someone MUCH older.  Read my review HERE.


What do you think you'll read next?

City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare~ No, I have NOT read this yet!  I have been wanting to, but time has been so sparse and I feel an obligation to read the books publishers send me first, so it has been serially set aside.  NO MORE!  It's next!
The Unquiet by Jeannine Garsee~ This comes out next week, and it has been high on my TBR since I received it a couple of months ago.  It has a brilliant cover and the story looks great.  Definitely reading it AFTER City of Lost Souls!

Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard~ I've not heard a negative word about this book, and can't wait to dig in.  Look for my review right before it comes out on July 24th! 




"Waiting On" Wednesday is another fun blog event. Hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, this event gives us a chance to talk about the books we anxiously await the release of. Since there is ALWAYS a looooooong list of books I'm waiting on (I actually keep a spreadsheet), I figured this is one that I MUST do.

Given that the cover reveal for this much-anticipated-by-everyone-in-the-free-world book was yesterday, I'm sure this will be the subject of many a WoW this week, but screw being different!  I'm too excited!!





In Clockwork Princess, Tessa and her companions travel all over the world as they race to stop the clockwork army before it’s too late. As Jem’s health worsens alarmingly and his friends search desperately for a cure, can Tessa choose between the two boys she loves—even if it means never seeing the other one again?

I really like Cassie Clare's The Mortal Instruments series, but I LOVE her The Infernal Devices series.  It is one of my all-time faves, so OBVIOUSLY, I'm eagerly awaiting this third book!  Look at that cover!  LOVE!  I can't wait to read how the Tessa-Will-Jem love triangle works out, and to this day, I don't know who I want her to end up with.  All I know is that this is my MOST anticipated release of 2013, without a doubt!!!!

Publisher:  Margaret K. McElderry Books

  21. I imagine there will be lots of WoW posts on Clockwork Princess from now until the book comes out in March. Still, it's a great cover. :)

    And it's nice to see that you enjoyed Girl of Nightmares. I can't want to read it. :)

  25. This is probably the most beautiful cover yet! I have the previous books, but haven't read them (I know!), but if they are from Cassie, I know they are amazing.

    Thanks for stopping by!

  26. Clockwork Princess sounds amazing! I cannot wait for the book even though it doesn't come out until forever and a half!

Thanks for visiting my blog! I adore comments since they make me feel special and loved, just please don't spam me. I'm not interested in vacation offers, millions of dollars from Nigeria, or anything not book related!

Also, this is an award-free blog. As flattered as I am, I just don't have time. I'm happy if I have time to post all of my reviews on time, and am a momma of three to boot, but I appreciate the thoughts! XO
