Waiting on Wednesday: The Mime Order, by Samantha Shannon

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine to spotlight upcoming book releases that we're excited about.



This week's pick

Release date: January 27, 2015
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Format: Hardcover, 320 pages

Goodreads description
Paige Mahoney has escaped the brutal penal colony of Sheol I, but her problems have only just begun: many of the fugitives are still missing and she is the most wanted person in London.

As Scion turns its all-seeing eye on Paige, the mime-lords and mime-queens of the city’s gangs are invited to a rare meeting of the Unnatural Assembly. Jaxon Hall and his Seven Seals prepare to take center stage, but there are bitter fault lines running through the clairvoyant community and dark secrets around every corner.

Then the Rephaim begin crawling out from the shadows. But where is Warden? Paige must keep moving, from Seven Dials to Grub Street to the secret catacombs of Camden, until the fate of the underworld can be decided. Will Paige know who to trust? The hunt for the dreamwalker is on.


I finally read The Bone Season about a week or so ago and it was soooo incredibly fantastic! I'm so glad the next book is out soon-ish :) I can't wait to see Paige and Warden's story continue, but I'm also a bit scared because I know that things won't be peachy for them.
Have you read The Bone Season? What are your thoughts on this sequel? And what book are you impatient for this Wednesday?

Stacking the Shelves: Savage Sparks and Stormy Seasons in Zombieland

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews to showcase all the books we got in the past week. Those can be bought, won, gifted, for review, borrowed, print or ebooks... no matter, just share what you got :)


This week a two books I'd ordered from The Book Depository finally arrived!

April Genevieve Tucholke - Between the Spark and the Burn

Gena Showalter - Alice in Zombieland

I've been meaning to read this Alice series for forever! So when the paperback was on sale, I had to get it. Between the Spark and the Burn was a must! I'll need to do a partial re-read of Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea though because I remember that there were quite a few twists at the end, but not exactly what they were...

The Bone Season is on there not because I bought it this week but because I've just read it and it was read-until-2am amazing! I'm so glad the sequel, The Mime Order, will be out in January already!


Bought as ebooks

Faking Normal, by Courtney C. Stevens

Savage Delight, by Sara Wolf

Storm, by Brigid Kemmerer

White Hart, by Sarah Dalton (freebie!!)

I read Faking Normal last Sunday and I cried. I'd read the prequel novella, The Blue-Haired Boy, in the spring and I've wanted the rest of the story ever since. It was very powerful and thought-provoking.
Savage Delight is the sequel to Lovely Vicious. After featuring it on a TTT a few weeks back, I've been urged on twitter to read the sequel. So here I go.
To be honest I don't really know what Storm is about, but many of my blogger friends have been raving about the series so when I saw it for 38 cent (weird price!) I thought I'd give it a try.
White Hart was free and looked like a great fantasy adventure! Also, I confess I fell in love with that cover. It reminds me of misty fall afternoons at my grandmother's farm.


That's it from my side :) Have you read any of them? And what books did you get in the past week?
