WELLLLL - WE'RE WAITING WEDNESDAY--Oh! And We're Having a CONTEST-CONTEST


Yeah, yeah, I know it's NOT Wednesday  but just to get those Caddyshack juices flowing and get you thinking here's a 5 second clip from YouTube.


 As  lovers of Caddyshack, this classic line has been used around our home for years so it seemed very appropriate to use it for that favorite book I’m waiting on.

We are all waiting for certain books that we feel like we can’t live without. For me it is any number of next ones in a favorite series but there are few that give you that WELLLLL -WE'RE WAITING  feeling that we all had while anxiously waiting on the next new Harry Potter or Twilight book. Now those, I could have told you how many days, hours and minutes till they were available.
I was aware several months back that Meyer was releasing two new books in her Host series- The Soul and The Seeker, to be released some time in 2012.  These two are ones that I get that WELLLLL- WE'RE WAITING feeling for. Normally, I’d show the covers but other than Literary Escapism.com’s reference to these books, I’ve seen no other mention of them.
Usually I don’t pay a whole lot of attention to what is coming out or when as I tend to collect 3 to 4 in a series and then read them back to back in a marathon reading session so it really is not a GOTTA HAVE situation.
I buy them and they lay on a shelf till another two or three in the series is released (which usually means years).
What book are you having that WELLLLL- WE'RE WAITING  feeling for that won’t be out for a while yet?
Oh, and if you want the best source I’ve found to what’s coming out and when, check out Literary Escapism’s list of paranormals and fantasy reads that I use.
http://literaryescapism.com/info/releases.html
Oh, and one more thing, did I mention that I’m having a contest later on and anyone who tells me what their WELLLLL- WE'RE WAITING  book is will be entered in it? So, be thinking about it. I'll be doing it with Rafflecopter as it has worked out so well.

    I feel like I have been waiting forever for sequels to The Host and think we may see the movie before we read the next two books. I can't wait to read the sequel to Nevermore by Kelly Creagh, Enshadowed. As of right now, it's my most anticipated read of 2012.

    I've been like that about The Inheritance by Christopher Paolini but I'm not desperate for it.

    I am after Insurgent, the sequel to Divergent by Veronica Roth. Soooo desperate!

    Truly generous contest and I love the bunny pic. Awwww. I'm a series slut and I like to have everything in order before I start a new one. It's an OCD thing. I really want to give Eve Silver's "Otherkin" series a spin. Thanks for being a sweetie!

    Me too! My hubby just can't understand WHY I can't read a book in a series unless I've got them all or at least enough to feast on (3 or 4). And never could I read one out of order, that's just not... just not...
    just not... (my mind can't even wrap around that thought) right!

    There are soooo many books I am waiting on. The Larissa Ione series for LOD, the next won't be out till the end of November, and then I don't even want to think about how long I will have to wait fot the 3rd book. Lynsay Sands has a book that is the 3rd of a trilogy that won't be out until next Spring and the first 2 came out in Jan and Feb of this year. LONG wait for the 3rd book.

    One book that will be released in two months and that I really want is The Bite Before Christmas anthology because two of my favourite authors are in it, taking up half of the book each. So each will have a fairly long novella for me to read :)

    I'd have to say Shadow Heir by Richelle Mead. It's the fourth one in the Dark Swan series and doesn't come out until next year and although this series isn't my favourite of her's pretty much any Richelle Mead book gives me that oh-my-god-I-have-to-read-it-now!! feeling. It was hell waiting for all the VA books to come out and I was definitely counting the days, and randomly writing things like May 18th (the date Spirit Bound came out) all over the place. Thanks!

    I just finished Dragon Bound and I loved it. I know that Tiago's book is out and Rune's is out shortly, but I'm waiting for Graydon's book - only I don't think it's been written yet!

    I'm also waiting for the Drink Deep by Chloe Neill which is out November 1 - I have Hard Bitten on my TBR but I heard it had a kind of cliff hanger-y ending so I didn't want to read it until DD was out so I knew that Ethan and Merit would be okay.

    Definitely Insurgent by Veronica Roth. I am ITCHING day and night (not literally, well sort of) to get my hands on this book. And I have to wait until May 2012?! Seems like such a long time, but I am sure it will be worth the wait. I was hesitant going into Divergent (book 1) but came out LOVING it and the author's style. I feel like it can only get better and more exciting. Sigh. :)
