Welcome to Death Books and Tea
Now before we start, I’d just like
to say something about the various comments we received yesterday.
To anon 1, the random guy, thank
you very much for spending x amount of your life writing a very long winded
complaint about this blog, in particularly my review of Angel Sanctuary, which
is manga, which is fiction, which is something I hardly think is worth you
ranting for longer than the review went on. All points have been received and noted, and
will not be acted upon. Maybe they’d be given slightly more weight if you had
not felt the need to hide behind anonymity. Thank you for voicing your opinion.
To anon 2, erm...thank you?
To anon 3, you receive google
alerts for this sort of thing? Ok.... I honestly have no idea what to say.
To all three of you, will you
please take your swearing and hating on everyone else somewhere else?
To everyone else, I’m sure the
majority of you are nice people. And I’m sure none of you feel the need to hide
behind anonymity. The comments have now been deleted and I’m disabling
anonymous comments (not sure why I didn’t from the start. Oh well). Because
some people can’t be trusted not to be cowardly and flame everyone else. Thank
you for putting up with me. Now onto the fun....
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted
by Breaking the Spine where
we show off books that we want to read but have not been published yet.

Link to / Summary from Goodreads: Jocelyn's twin brother Jack was the only family she had growing up in a world of foster homes-and now he's dead, and she has nothing. Then she gets a cryptic letter from "Jason December"-the code name her brother used to use when they were children at Seale House, a terrifying foster home that they believed had dark powers. Only one other person knows about Jason December: Noah, Jocelyn's childhood crush and their only real friend among the troubled children at Seale House.
But when
Jocelyn returns to Seale House and the city where she last saw Noah, she gets
more than she bargained for. Turns out the house's powers weren't just a
figment of a childish imagination. And someone is following Jocelyn. Is Jack
still alive? And if he is, what kind of trouble is he in? The answer is
revealed in a shocking twist that turns this story on its head and will send
readers straight back to page 1 to read the book in a whole new light.
Why I want it: Foster homes? Mystery? Cryptic letters? Houses with dark powers? Stalkers? A shocking twist? Excellent. And the cover is very good too.
What are YOU waiting on this week?
