Waiting on Wednesday (46)

Waiting on Wednesday is, of course, brought to us by the lovely Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This week I chose two books that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. So let's go!

First up is:

Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel - To be released August 3rd, 2010

Lenah Beaudonte is, in many ways, your average teen: the new girl at Wickham Boarding School, she struggles to fit in enough to survive and stand out enough to catch the eye of the golden-boy lacrosse captain. But Lenah also just happens to be a recovering five-hundred-year-old vampire queen. After centuries of terrorizing Europe, Lenah is able to realize the dream all vampires have -- to be human again. After performing a dangerous ritual to restore her humanity, Lenah entered a century-long hibernation, leaving behind the wicked coven she ruled over and the eternal love who has helped grant her deep-seated wish.

Until, that is, Lenah draws her first natural breath in centuries at Wickham and rediscovers a human life that bears little resemblance to the one she had known. As if suddenly becoming a teenager weren’t stressful enough, each passing hour brings Lenah closer to the moment when her abandoned coven will open the crypt where she should be sleeping and find her gone. As her borrowed days slip by, Lenah resolves to live her newfound life as fully as she can. But, to do so, she must answer ominous questions: Can an ex-vampire survive in an alien time and place? What can Lenah do to protect her new friends from the bloodthirsty menace about to descend upon them? And how is she ever going to pass her biology midterm?

Doesn't this sound awesome!?!? You all know about my thing for vampires, but this one sounds pretty darned original.

Confessions of the Sullivan Sisters by Natalie Standiford - To be released September 1st, 2010

The Sullivan sisters have a big problem. On Christmas Day their rich and imperious grandmother gathers the family and announces that she will soon die . . .and has cut the entire family out of her will. Since she is the source of almost all their income, this means they will soon be penniless.

Someone in the family has offended her deeply. If that person comes forward with a confession of her (or his) crime, submitted in writing to her lawyer by New Year's Day, she will reinstate the family in her will. Or at least consider it.

And so the confessions begin....

(Summary from goodreads.)

This isn't my usual type of thing, but it sounds good, so... we just might have to try it, right? Never judge a book by its cover and all that.

Okay, so that's everything for this Wednesday.

Peace and cookies,
