Waiting On Wednesday Vol. 8
Dead To You By Lisa McMann
Ethan was abducted from his front yard when he was just seven years old. Now, at sixteen, he has returned to his family. It’s a miracle… at first. Then the tensions start to build. His reintroduction to his old life isn’t going smoothly, and his family is tearing apart all over again. If only Ethan could remember something, anything, about his life before, he’d be able to put the pieces back together. But there’s something that’s keeping his memory blocked. Something unspeakable…
This reminds me of theFace On The Milk Cartonseries. Some of the early reviews say it has a twist ending. . . wonder what it could be.

Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare
As their dangerous search for the Magister and the truth leads the friends into peril, Tessa learns that when love and lies are mixed, they can corrupt even the purest heart.
Bet you guys haven’t ever seen this book before ever ? After feeling lukewarm about The Mortal Instruments, the Infernal Devices has peaked my interest. I enjoyed Clockwork Angel and can’t wait for the next installation.
So, what are you all waiting on ?

If These Books Were Judged by Their Covers: Of Course It’s a Corset
They say don’t judge a book by its cover, but every week Books and Sensibility contributors take a stroll around the local bookstore (okay, the internet) to see what we can find in the world of book covers
Is the book you are reading a historical romance ? Does it have a prominent female character ? Is it Steampunk ? If you answer yes to two or more of these than your cover may have a corset on it.
I’m not surprised corset covers have become so popular. Corsets are a classic (although harsh) symbol of femininity and are popular among Victorian authors, cosplayers and readers.
Do you have any favorite corset covers ?
