Waiting on Wednesday
Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine featuring books we are eagerly anticipating but haven’t the bookshelves yet.
Title: Nameless by Lili St. Crow
Series: Beauty and Madness (# 1)
Publish date: April , 2013
Publisher: Razorbill
Genre: Fantasy
Format: Hardcover
Pages: 308
When Camille was six years old, she was discovered alone in the snow by Enrico Vultusino, godfather of the Seven—the powerful Families that rule magic-ridden New Haven. Papa Vultusino adopted the mute, scarred child, naming her after his dead wife and raising her in luxury on Haven Hill alongside his own son, Nico.
Now Cami is turning sixteen. She’s no longer mute, though she keeps her faded scars hidden under her school uniform, and though she opens up only to her two best friends, Ruby and Ellie, and to Nico, who has become more than a brother to her. But even though Cami is a pampered Vultusino heiress, she knows that she is not really Family. Unlike them, she is a mortal with a past that lies buried in trauma. And it’s not until she meets the mysterious Tor, who reveals scars of his own, that Cami begins to uncover the secrets of her birth…to find out where she comes from and why her past is threatening her now.
Reason: I’m a fan of Lili St Crow aka Lilith Saintcrow and I would any books she published if I like the premise.
Title: The Ward by Jordana Frankel
Publish date: April 30, 2013
Publisher: Katherine Tegan Books
Genre:
Format: Hardcover
Pages: 384
Sixteen-year-old Ren is a daredevil mobile racer who will risk everything to survive in the Ward, what remains of a water-logged Manhattan. To save her sister, who is suffering from a deadly illness thought to be caused by years of pollution, Ren accepts a secret mission from the government: to search for a freshwater source in the Ward, with the hope of it leading to a cure.
However, she never expects that her search will lead to dangerous encounters with a passionate young scientist; a web of deceit and lies; and an earth-shattering mystery that’s lurking deep beneath the water’s rippling surface.
Jordana Frankel’s ambitious debut novel and the first in a two-book series, The Ward is arresting, cinematic, and thrilling—perfect for fans of Scott Westerfeld or Ann Aguirre.
Reason: This an interesting storyline and this is the first i’ve come across to address the raising tide in Manhattan.
Just a girl mad about books and loves to talk about them. I read, and blog about books. I also review books on YouTube, I watch a lot of Youtube videos. I'm obsessed with HGTV design make over shows. Fan of Dr Who and so many other tidbits that make me, me.

February 20, 2013 at 1:17 pm (119 days ago)Both of these books look pretty fabulous. I like Saintcrow’s adult steampunk series, and that YA title looks fun… and the concept of your second pick is REALLY interesting, especially given the effect of Sandy. Great finds!
