Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine where I have the chance to spotlight an upcoming release that I’m eagerly anticipating.
Thief's Magic
In a world where an industrial revolution is powered by magic, Tyen, a student of archaeology, discovers a sentient book in an ancient tomb. Vella was once a young sorcerer-maker, until she was transformed into a useful tool by one of the greatest sorcerers of history. Since then she has been gathering information, including a vital clue to the disaster Tyen’s world faces.
Elsewhere, in a land ruled by the priests since a terrible war depleted all but a little magic, Rielle the dyer’s daughter has been taught that to use magic is to steal from the Angels. Yet she knows from her ability to sense the stain it leaves behind that she has a talent for it, and that there are people willing to teach her how to use it, should she ever need to risks the Angels’ wrath.
Further away, a people called the Travelers live their entire lives on the move, trading goods from one world to another. They know that each world has its own store of magic, reducing or increasing a sorcerer’s abilities, so that if one entered a weak world they may be unable to leave it again. Each family maintains a safe trading route passed down through countless generations and modified whenever local strife makes visiting dangerous. But this is not the only knowledge the Travelers store within their stories and songs, collected over millennia spent roaming the universe. They know a great change is due, and that change brings both loss and opportunity.
All Lined Up
In Texas, two things are cherished above all else—football and gossip. My life has always been ruled by both.
Dallas Cole loathes football. That's what happens when you spend your whole childhood coming in second to a sport. College is her time to step out of the bleachers, and put the playing field (and the players) in her past.
But life doesn't always go as planned. As if going to the same college as her football star ex wasn’t bad enough, her father, a Texas high school coaching phenom, has decided to make the jump to college ball… as the new head coach at Rusk University. Dallas finds herself in the shadows of her father and football all over again.
Carson McClain is determined to go from second-string quarterback to the starting line-up. He needs the scholarship and the future that football provides. But when a beautiful redhead literally falls into his life, his focus is more than tested. It's obliterated.
Dallas doesn't know Carson is on the team. Carson doesn't know that Dallas is his new coach's daughter.
And neither of them know how to walk away from the attraction they feel.
What are you waiting for? Please leave a comment below with your WoW link so I can check out yours too!!

Both books are good choices! I bought some of Cora's books but I still haven't read any. All Lined Up sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteAwesome choices and All Lined Up was sweet :)

ReplyDeleteAll Lined Up sounds great- a fun, fast read. Thief's Magic is more up my alley, but I am worried that it will get confusing.

Shane @ Itching for Books
Yes and yes. Great picks! (Thief's Magic, especially.)
ReplyDeleteThief's Magic sounds great, Naomi. And I'm biting my nails in anticipation of All Lined Up! I met Cora last year at RT and then got to chat with her again here in Denver at a signing and she told me all about how this series was born. We're both from Texas - where they live and breathe football - and I can't wait to read all about Rusk! *squee*
ReplyDeleteTrudi is one of those author's that's been on my TBR forever and now first time I get some days off I'm going straight to library to pick up some of her books! This one sounds amazing and I really hope you'll enjoy it! The second one is new to me, but sounds good! :) Great picks :)
