Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
On a beach vacation over the summer, I tackled a stack of books I'd been meaning to read forever. One of them was Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. You can read my "why didn't I read this book sooner" post here.
Now I'm very excited that there's only a (relatively) short wait for the next book in the series:
Days of Blood & Starlight
by Laini Taylor
Expected publication date: November 6, 2012
by Little, Brown BFYR
I love to read books right when they come out, but the benefit to not reading a book right away is that the wait for the next book seems so much shorter!
Leave me a link to your WoW post OR tell me about a book that you've been meaning to get to forever!
Also, don't forget to enter to win What's Left of Me by Kat Zhang here (Int) OR
Fathomless by Jackson Pearce here (US residents only) OR
I can't wait for this book to come out! Luckily November isn't so far away. Great pick :)

It's not far away at all. Where does the time go??
DeleteThat is definitely a bonus! There are a couple of series where I'm waiting to read them until all 3 books are out as I sometimes get tired of the waiting.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I do that, I love it. There's nothing like finishing one book and being able to pick the next one up :)
DeleteVery true. I read it back in December and then listened to the audio about a month later. I should probably do that just to prep for DoBaS. :) I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS BOOK!!!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteHere’s my WoW post. Happy Wednesday! :D
I'm very excited. Is the audiobook good? I bet it is...
DeleteI can't wait for this either!! I really enjoyed Daughter of Smoke and Bone so I am definitely going to be getting this!
ReplyDeleteSame. I'm very excited!
DeleteI totally agree! When I read the first in this series, I literally stopped functioning until I found out what happened. This will be epic. Check out my WoW!

First off, I love the title of your blog. Even though I don't think I've ever had a whisky sour before!
DeleteAnd, yes, it's a great ending. I need to go back and review...
Can't wait for this one either! I have been scouring the net to try to find touring ARCs or E-Arcs to request and there is just NOTHING. Days of Blood and Starlight is in demand for sure:)
ReplyDeleteI read on Laini Taylor's blog that there are no ARCs. So you can relax and just wait patiently!
DeleteI'm really excited for this one as well. I didn't read Daughter of Smoke and Bone until last month and I was torn between wishing I had read it sooner and wishing I had waited till the second was released so I wouldn't have to wait so long to find out what happens next!
ReplyDeleteWell, still, you don't have to wait that long!!
DeleteI really have to read Daughter of Shadow and Bone! I still haven't even though I was planing to! :)
ReplyDeleteHere is my WOW post
You still have time!!
DeleteYes! Yes! Can't wait for this one. I mean, Daughter of Smoke and Bone was excellent, and I'm realy curious to see what will happen next. Great pick!

My WOW
Counting the days!
DeleteI did the same thing with DoS&B! I'm so glad I don't have long to wait for this one, it was my choice a few weeks back. Awesome pick!

Ha -- well, I didn't do it on purpose, but it worked out for me ;)
DeleteOh yes! I still need to read the first book in this series, so I should get on that right away! Oh and this cover is GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Yes -- perfect timing. Once you are done with your scary books series, get reading!!
DeleteI avoided the first book too, it just didn't seem like a book I'd be interested in. But then enough blogs that I trusted seemed to like it, so I bought the audio and I absolutely loved it! I think I'll get the audio for the second book too.
ReplyDeleteSame -- but the story world in this book is so amazing -- I really enjoyed it.
DeleteI still need to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone BUT I think I am going to read them back to back when this one comes out! I hear such amazing things about this series. :)
ReplyDeleteMy W.O.W.
You might as well -- I actually love doing that!
DeleteI've still been wanting to get my hands on Slow Twitch by Liz Reinhardt. I still don't have a copy... *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of that but will look it up!
DeleteI must get to these books! Still have the first book on my mind! How good was it? Ooh liking the cover for this one!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WOW Jen!

The cover is great, right??
DeleteGah! I can't even start with all the books I haven't read yet that I want to/NEED to! This series would be one of them! I love the covers and I have heard great things about them! Time...I need more of it!
ReplyDeleteI know. If only I could read while sleeping....
DeleteI'm always happy for a series to be complete before I begin. That's why I seem to often be way behind in my reading.
ReplyDeleteIt is actually a good strategy!!
DeleteI still need to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone! At least I won't have to wait for the sequel once I do!
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone! I read the book a month after it released, so I've been suffering for so long! Hopefully we can both wait 2 months more... Eh, who am I kidding- I want this book now!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you have been waiting a while now! Not much longer!
DeleteI'm excited for this one too! I need to get ahead on homework so that I can spend my time reeeeeeading it.
