"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I’m waiting on:
|
| From Goodreads: Fresh from the success of The Way of Kings, Brandon Sanderson, best known for completing Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time®, takes a break to return to the world of the bestselling Mistborn series. |
I’m much more fond of the cover on the right, but lets be honest here, even if the cover featured a monkey in a chicken suit I would still be bananas about this upcoming release! I’ve already pre-ordered my signed copy of this 4th book in Sanderson’s incredible Mistborn series.
If you’re not familiar with Mistborn, it is an amazing fantasy series that kind of combines High Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, and Dystopian all in one big bunch of AWESOME! And Vin is one of my top five favorite kick ass heroines in any fantasy novel.
ANYWAY… I’m just a little excited about this release. 
Another upcoming release I’m anxiously awaiting is
 From Goodreads: A YA Urban Fantasy/Romance in a world a breath away from our own. Similar in tone to Tithe and Unleashed, Lightbringer tiptoes down the line between love and horror as an independent young woman discovers herself and the darkest parts of the afterlife. Ok, that short description included several key words, Tithe, horror, and afterlife. I’m not sure how the author managed to inspire those three words to describe her book, but I’m certainly intrigued! Plus that cover is satisfyingly spooky, isn’t it? Is that a bird skeleton chandelier? Apparently in the afterlife, there are some odd light fixture choices. But regardless, I’m sold! I can’t wait to read this! Lightbringer is expected to be published November 15 by PYR |
What are you waiting on this Wednesday? Leave me a link in the comments so I can go check out your WOW post. This is one of my favorite memes because I find so many new books to yearn for and put on my “to buy” list!! What about you?

Great choices. My husband devoured the Mistborn series, though I've never read it, so he's going to be VERY happy about these.
" Apparently in the afterlife, there are some odd light fixture choices."

Both of these sound awesome and I have to say I'm especially intrigued by The Alloy of Law because of your monkey in a chicken suit comment. :P It must be good!
Thanks for stopping by!
Apart from Lightbringer, so many books I've never heard of. I love when that happens. New follower :-)
My WOW
Been meaning to check into the Mistborn series, so thank you for reminding me! :) I too am anxiously awaiting Lightbringer. I'm excited to read more books published by Pyr and was excited to learn they were publishing a YA!
Thanks so much for visiting :)
Oh, man! Lightbringer looks very promising. I don't know why, but the minute the Underworld gets brought up in fiction, I'm all ears (and eyes, I suppose.) I will definitely have to check it out. :D
I cant wait for Lightbringer, my WOW http://headstuckinabook.blogspot.com/2011/10/waiting-on-wednesday.html

How have I gone this far without every hearing of the Mistborn series? That sounds like it's exactly up my alley. I like how the new book has a bit of a steampunk look to it, though maybe that's just the sepia tones.
WOW @ Working for the Mandroid
