Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine, and specifically spotlights upcoming novels we can't wait to read. As always, there are some amazing upcoming books, but this week I'm particularly excited for...
Author: Wendy Delsol
Publisher: Candlewick
Published: October 11, 2011
Genre: YA, Paranormal
Pages: 384
After the drama of discovering that she’s a member of the Storks, a mystical order of women endowed with powerful abilities, Katla Leblanc is finally settling into her life in chilly Minnesota. In fact, the ex-California girl even hopes for a white Christmas.
But Katla’s wintry wish unexpectedly turns into the snowstorm of the century, drawing the attention of Brigid, a gorgeous environmental researcher with an amazing array of fur coats and an unusual interest in Katla’s boyfriend, Jack.
Once upon a time, I read and reviewed the first book in an entirely original series and was completely blown away. That book was Stork, and when I discovered that the sequel, Frost, was coming out this fall, I almost died with excitement. Now, I was lucky enough to meet the amazing Wendy Delsol at BEA this year and score an ARC of this one, but I'm holding off reading it a little until the review date. I can't wait to see how Katla is growing in her role as a Stork, and I'm intrigued by this new girl that might just be more than meets the eye. I'm sensing tension, and I'm loving it! Plus, this darker cover for book two is just stunning. What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?
O: I Never heard of Stork >.< I have to read it, the sequel actually sounds quite nice and the cover is attractive ♥
ReplyDeleteI love that cover. It definitely makes me want to read this series. Great pick :)
ReplyDeleteGood one! I liked Stork so this is exciting!
ReplyDeleteI loved Stork and I'm so excited for this one, too! I got it from Netgalley recently, but like you I'll probably wait a little while before getting to it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Stork and now I am intrigued. The cover looks chilly...
ReplyDeleteKatla..I am pretty sure that was the name of a nasty dragon in a children's book...Anyway sounds good :)
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Stork .. so I'll definitely check this one out ! Great pick Melissa ;)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Stork yet. I'll have to get to it. I love this cover. Makes me feel cold looking at it.

Truly Bookish
I still need to read Stork, but I've heard great things about it! :)
ReplyDeleteOnce again you have managed to find an amazing cover :)
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if you ever worry when you read the second in the series after loving the first one so much, that you are bound to be disappointed? Here's hoping that you're not with this one :)
I can't believe I haven't read Stork yet.
ReplyDeleteMust read Stork first! I remember your review of that one and I need to get on the Stork train so I can be ready for this one:)
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah! This one looks great--plus, love the cover with the drippy ice.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!

I'm ashamed to say that I haven't read Stork! I've eyed it at the bookstore many times, though. I think I'm going to have to give in next time! :)
ReplyDeleteI still haven't read Stork yet but I've been wanting to for ages! Just never managed to get a copy. I love the cover of Frost, though, great pick! Thanks for sharing :).
ReplyDeleteCrossing my fingers I get approved for it on netgalley! Nice pick!
ReplyDeleteI just requested Stork from the library! Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cover! I haven't read Stork yet, but I have it on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteI just got this book from NetGalley. I'm very excited. I haven't even read Stork yet, but I have it, and it's moving up the pile!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! I'll have to look up the first one. :D
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW: http://bit.ly/l9hfHb

My WoW + Third Sentence Thursday!
I never read Stork. The cover looked weird and just reminded me too much of that "singer" that wore the funky outfit that looked like a Stork. I may have to rethink this.
ReplyDeleteHeather
Me too! So jealous of your ARC & meeting Wendy ;) This series is so unique. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is stunning! I haven't read Stork yet but I should definitely add it to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteMust add this to my TBR list! And meeting the author? Lucky duck! ;)
