"Waiting On" Wednesday (4)

Prophecy of Days - Book One: The Daykeeper's Grimoire
by Christy Raedeke
coming May 1, 2010...

When her safe-cracker mom and code-breaker dad inherit a Scottish castle on the Isle of Huracan, sixteen-year-old Caity Mac Fireland is the only one in the family who's not happy about it. Ripped from her cushy life in San Francisco, taken away from her best friend Justine whom she's known since preschool, and relocated to the dreary island fortress, Caity's secret fantasy of being discovered by a Hollywood agent, talent scout, or even just a pageant coach seems more unlikely than ever.

But when Caity stumbles across a hidden room in the castle, its walls covered in strange symbols, her life takes a bizarre turn. She finds herself center stage in an international conspiracy involving warring secret societies (complete with their own scouts, double agents, and assassins), the suppressed revelations of the Mayan Calendar and the year 2012, plus the fate of humanity. With the help of her friend Justine back home, and Alex, the mysterious and gorgeous boy next door, Caity must rely on her own courage and creativity as she races to decipher the code and reveal its message to the world before time runs out.

I think this sounds pretty darn cool. Of course, I'm kind of a sucker for stories set in Scottish castles...

Today I heard some exciting news. Amazon has finally decided to release the Kindle to international customers! So I went to the site to have a look. Then I saw this little box that looked kind of important:


So I entered my country, to see what the "important information" was. Here's what I got:


WTF?! You're telling me that, if I lived in Lesotho, I could order a Kindle and start reading books in 30 seconds, but because I live in Canada I still can't buy a Kindle? Oh, well. I guess I shouldn't feel too badly. People in Afghanistan, Guinea, and Lebanon can't get the Kindle, either.

I have a feeling this has something to do with the CRTC. Anyway... I guess this Wednesday I'm waiting on this:

I'm also waiting on this:


I'm enjoying Wondrous Strange right now. As long as the story doesn't completely tank in the second half of the book, I'm pretty sure I'm going to want to read this sequel.

There's only one book I'm really waiting for at the moment. This one:

I think I must be the only book blogger out there who hasn't read it. If I haven't commented on your reviews of it, it's because I've been skipping them. I'm afraid of spoilers!

Only a few more weeks to go...
