"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Plain Kate
by Erin Bow
Publication Date: September 2010 by Arthur Levine
Kate’s is a colorful world of brokenhearted magicians, wandering gypsy clans, carved charms and stolen shadows. It’s a dark world of ghosts, fog and questions. It’s a dangerous world of witch burnings, persecution and plague. Her story is a coming-of-age story, a story about family and belonging, trust and betrayal, bravery and sacrifice, death and what lies beyond. Also, there’s a talking cat in it.
You know I'm a sucker for purple covers, so this one immediately caught my eye. Plain Kate sounds like a good read, from the synopsis. Books with magic are very popular right now, and I'm a huge fan of the Salem witch trials, so the world of witch burnings, persecution and plague is right up my alley.
What book are you waiting to read today?

I don't know if you entered the Holey Donuts giveaway or not, but if you could check out this post and do so for my blog, it would mean a TON for my family and you can enter for the book afterwards too if you wish (White Cat by Holly Black ARC)!:

This looks like a good one to wait for!
LOL - this looks good and I am laughing about the purple cover. It would have hooked me too!
Wow; thanks so much for the WOW! I haven't had many of them yet, and you've made my day.
Funnily enough, that purple cover is no longer the cover. Actually, it never was: it was just a mock-up that I made for my own amusement a few years back. Just unveiled the official cover and flap copy here: http://erinbow.livejournal.com/153568.html
