Waiting on Wednesday

(Why yes, this blog is not dead anymore. At least I hope not...be warned this post reflect upon a very hyper and giddy Kim)

This post sort of coincides with THE book I am waiting for in 2011. Now, I call it THE book because this is the book I am most excited for in the new year. It sounds so edgy and alluring that I deem it to be THE book. The cover is beautiful; the synopsis is amazing--basically, every piece of it is a burst of beautiful.

....DUNDUNDUN...

This is THE book...

And if that wondertastic (yesh, I am making up words. That's how excited I am!) fireball of amazing does not astound you and make you want to read it now, now, NOW, watch this video:

Harhar, do you want to read it NOW? Why, yes, yes you do.
Why is this beautiful novel not in my hands? Why is it haunting me everywhere I go? The other day when I was in my horrid Chem class learning empirical formulas, I was thinking, "Divergent! Divergent!" Who does that? What do empirical formulas have to do with the word anyway? Nothing--nothing I tell you! -Sigh- I need this book NOW, NOW, NOW. But patience is key. Only less than 150 days before I get my hands on this book. I might actually write a letter to Santa about this...(one can dream...) XD

Waiting on Wednesday

Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton

Synopsis: When seventeen-year-old Ellie starts seeing reapers - monstrous creatures who devour humans and send their souls to Hell - she finds herself on the front lines of a supernatural war between archangels and the Fallen and faced with the possible destruction of her soul. A mysterious boy named Will reveals she is the reincarnation of an ancient warrior, the only one capable of wielding swords of angelfire to fight the reapers, and he is an immortal sworn to protect her in battle. Now that Ellie's powers have been awakened, a powerful reaper called Bastian has come forward to challenge her. He has employed a fierce assassin to eliminate her - an assassin who has already killed her once. While balancing her dwindling social life and reaper-hunting duties, she and Will discover Bastian is searching for a dormant creature believed to be a true soul reaper. Bastian plans to use this weapon to ignite the End of Days and to destroy Ellie's soul, ending her rebirth cycle forever. Now, she must face an army of Bastian's most frightening reapers, prevent the soul reaper from consuming her soul, and uncover the secrets of her past lives - including truths that may be too frightening to remember.


I think I'm one of the few who haven't WoWed this yet, so here it is! Definitely stoked for this one. Only 201 more days!

I tried to make a countdown widget, but as you can see below, I really, really failed at it. I'd use widgetbox, but the only way for me to make a free one with a background image is through javascript. I am not experienced with that so I found this other site called Counto. It's good, but it takes FOREVER to see the changes you made.

Stay by Deb Caletti

I can't find a blurb so far, but after reading one of her books just last week, I'm in love with her writing! I already have all her other books on hold at the library, and I can't wait to go and pick them up!

Stay. It has such a short, but concise title. This one isn't coming til April though. *tear tear* I happen to think all the best books come out in April. (No, it doesn't have anything to do by the fact that my birthday is in April. Go slap yourself. JK.)

Anyone who hasn't checked out Deb Caletti SHOULD. ♥
