Waiting on Wednesday 10/6

Hello, and welcome to my blog. While you are here please have a look around, and don't forget to stop by my Halloween Giveaway for a chance to win an autographed copy of Kelley Armstrong's The Summoning, and a copy of Clare B. Dunkle's House of Dead Maids.  Also, if you are interested, tomorrow I shall be posting a review of the Legend of Ga'Hoole movie and Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series.

Now on to what you are all here for, this weeks Waiting on Wednesday.

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine, where book bloggers share what books they can't wait to come out. 

This week my selection is "Beyonders: A World Without Heroes"  by Brandon Mull.  This is going to be the first book in a new series from him, and since I really enjoyed the Fablehaven series I can't wait to pick this one up too.

Here is what Goodreads had to say about the book:

Jason Walker has often wished his life could be less predictable—until a routine day at the zoo ends with Jason suddenly transporting from the hippo tank into a strange, imperiled world. Lyrian holds dangers and challenges unlike anyplace Jason has ever known. The people all live in fear of their malicious wizard emperor, Maldor. The brave resistors who once opposed the emperor have been bought off or broken, leaving a realm where fear and suspicion prevail.

In his search for a way home, Jason meets Rachel, who was also mysteriously drawn to Lyrian from our world. With the help of a few scattered rebels, Jason and Rachel become entangled in a quest to piece together the word of power that can destroy the emperor and learn that their best hope to find a way home will be to save this world without heroes.

The current release date for this book is: March 22, 2011.
